Well I am a mum of three gorgeous kids. BC (that would be Before Children) I was a very organised person and my home was spotless. I never missed appointments, forgot to pay bills, couldn't find a clean pair of undies. I was always early, to the point were there were times I would have to drive around the block a few times so as not to upset people by arriving before they (the hosts) were ready.
Then I had children. BC I used to think that mothers lost half their brain with every child, not a very charitable thought but there you go. Now as a mother I KNOW that half my mind disappeared with each pregnancy so now I am down to 1 half... 1 quarter... 1 eighth... whatever (I used to be a maths wizz too)! Not because mum's are dumb or slow or self absorbed or any of those nasty reasons I used to think BC but because we are so busy! We have so much to remember, to think about, to worry about, to organise that it isn't surprising that we can't keep track of it all. So now almost two years after the birth of my "unexpected" third child I am busy trying to get my life, AND my family's life, organised. I am sick of missing school notes, forgetting to pay bills and missing out on social events. If I have to appologise for being late, the state of the house or forgetting something again I think I might lose it altogether. So here you go, this is going to be my little journal about my life in general, my thoughts and my attempts to regain control of my life, body, finances and family. :-)
