I have a Meme award, how brilliant! thank you to the very funny and talented Andrea http://www.andreadaly.com/ for passing it on to me. As part of the award I have to tell you 7 things about myself and recomend 7 other blogs, well that bits easy as I read them all day, have given up on books ….reading blogs is adictive and usually good for bitesize inbetween milly playing gaps!
But the whole 7 personality traits has kind of been stumping me, its not that I am vacant (well, not all the time, only after along day of mum, mum, mum…) but I do seem to be having trouble. So I am just going to tell you 7 things, not traits per-say… but oh well I hope you don’t mind me cheating a bit!
1) I hate cleaning- Its not my chosen profession yet I still spend half my life doing it … badly!.. although it takes me ages the house is always a mess. go figure… think I am just naturally chaotic.
2) My hair has a personality complex as I keep changing it… I am chocolate latte ( looks like brown to me!) at the moment, but next week who knows!
3) I often feel like a crap mum… hard to admit but its true, its the curse of working from home I think …if I spend time with Milly I feel like I should be working and if I am working I feel like I am abandoning Milly… and then I have a 9 yr old (but why?) boy and 14 yr old part time drama queen .. so there just never seems enough time, leaving me always feeling inadequate.
4) I love to cook and cook books, I remember when I had my first house this was a very nerdy un-cool thing to say. But now its kind of ok to admit it, I remember the first time I saw Nigella Lawson a few years ago now, she got me hooked… all that sexy flirting with the camera and un ashamed gluttony did it for me! Nigella bites is still my very favourite cook book but my kitchen is now heaving with over 50 tittles, stacked up in piles ontop of the freezer, in cupboards, proping up the microwave ..everywhere, I love Em!
5) I used to be spoilt, I have had a really weird year… my eldest got meningitis, my dad passed away and big j kept having mysterious collapses. Horrible, yes, but all that made me look at life in a completely different way, little things like having a bigger house and lots of stuff don’t bother me so much anymore, and the sad thing is I dont think I would have ever realised how blessed I am without having this years experience’s. But at least now I am older, wiser and less of a whiner!
6) I love ribbons and buttons, I am completely mad about them like some people are mad about there pets… seriously I could sit and stroke them and love nothing more than dreaming up things to make out of them!
7) I am a born artist, I have painted since I could hold a brush and I never ever wanted to do anything else. Sometimes when I look a my bank balance I wish I could have been born with brain surgeon smarts instead, but you get what you get and I love it.
Oh well that wasn’t that painful, hope your still with me and I haven’t bored you to death because now for the fantstic 7 blog folk I would love to hear more about…

I think most good mums often think they’re crap mums because they want to do so well. The really crap ones don’t care so much.
Thanks, that makes sense. I will try and remember that when i am feeling a bit crappy!

ah thanks for the award. Totally know what you mean about feeling like a bad mum.
No problem thanks for the entertaining blogs! And as for feeling like bad mum, Read comment above… think that’s good advise for both of us

Aww thank you for my award!
Can sympathise with the bad mum feeling – especially now I’m trying to do some ‘work’ from home too. But listen to Mwa – she is the voice of all things good and wise.
Lots of love xxxxx
Thankyou so much xx I think everyone thinks they’re a crap Mum except for the one’s who are actually crap! Also why do housework,life is too short! xx
Your So right! no more house work for me
