30 years wise!

Today I am 30 years old!! I am not sure how this has sneaked up on me so quickly, and I am hoping the next 30 years don't fly by quite so fast. It seems only a few weeks ago I was enjoying my 21st party, and last night I waved off my 20s with another great bash!

Since then I have become a mother if 3 beautiful mini humans, a wife to a gorgeous blokey, and have changed my job almost as frequently as my underwear!

But what have I learned? Well I have definitely been made aware that once you have children, your own needs are quickly forgotten about in an attempt to not only keep these mini beasts alive, but to also keep them happy and well rounded individuals. I have learnt that to keep said mini beasts happy and well rounded, I would quite happily stamp over still warm corpses to get them what they need!!

I have learnt that what other people think of you shouldn't matter, but does. But as long as that does not stop you living your life the way you want to live it, let them have their opinions.

I have learnt that in order to co exist harmoniously with a boy I sometimes need to compromise. Not all the time...but often enough that he keeps feeding us and keeps us in clean clothes!!

I have become more comfortable as me. I'm a bit quirky, and I don't always fit into "the norm" but those that matter don't mind, and those that mind don't matter.

What would I tell my 21 year old self if I could go back in time to my party? I would tell me that I will never have it so easy and carefree so make the most of it. Stop chasing boys who are clearly bad news. Make more time for family because they won't be there forever. You will NEVER be 7.5 stone again so give it up!!!

Anyway, I got lots of cards, pressies and birthday wishes but the best one of all has to be my tweet from Dr Karl Kennedy!!! Oh yes!!!

Always be yourself...unless you can be Batman!

Ok, I don't want to start off this whole blogging malarky being all negative and ranty, so today's post only really contains half a story. However, I wanted to share so here goes...

Today at school my youngest son (here after referred to as R) was asked to draw a picture of what he was going to be when he grows up. The obvious choice for any self respecting 6 year old boy is Batman, and that is exactly what he drew.

This was frowned upon by his teacher who told him he could not be Batman, as Batman was not real.

That is where I cut short the story as I was extremely vexed and I don't want to get all moany!

The long and short of it is, I tell my babies they can be anything they want, and can achieve whatever they set their mind to. I want to instil a belief that nothing is unobtainable if you work for it and want it badly enough. I want my children to grow up in the knowledge that its ok to want to be a super hero, there are worse things to aspire to surely? I want them to know that to have hopes and dreams is a good thing, and that an imagination makes life more interesting and fun.

So, remember lovely people; always be yourself, unless you can be Batman!

P.S FYI oldest boy (here after known as A) want to be a Krispy Kreme Donut seller!!

Welcome to the world of me!

Hello and welcome! You are cordially invited to attend the grand opening of my small slice of interweb.

After months of following countless lovely blogs belonging to like minded folks, I have decided to dip a toe into the blog pool. I hope the water is warm?!

I can't promise literary genius, the answer to the chicken/egg conundrum, or a great deal of intelligent conversation. What I intend to provide is a lighthearted (mostly) look at the world of an almost 30 year old mummy of 3, with lots of tattoos and an unhealthy obsession with all things make up related. I also have an eclectic taste in clothing, love music of many genres, I'm a novice knitter, really enjoy a bit of telly or a good book, and more recently have been introduced to Zumba (which I am a bit addicted to!)

Sooooo, I would be delighted if you would like to join me as I ramble about stuff. Come on in, the water seems toasty!
