Welcome to my life!

Well well well, here I sit starting to write a blog, who would of thought? Well, I have often thought about it, just never thought I would do it...
My hopes for this blog is to be real, raw and honest, some days will be fantastic and full of greatness, other days, will be not so great, because that's life... not always like a box of chocolates! Although on those not so great days, a box of chocolate would definately help!!

So who am I you ask? I am Kate, wife to Shane and Mummy to Aidan, and friend to some... and now I am a blog writer. lol.

So where to start? That is the million dollar question? There is so so much I will tell throughout this journey, but for now, I will start with today...

Today has me thinking just how much things have changed, just how much I have changed... and all for the better, well mostly anyway. lol.
3 Years ago Shane and I got married, best day, well night actually- we got married at 7pm on a Friday night, of my life, I was so happy to have married my soul mate, my best friend, my confidant, but I wasn't much of a house wife so to speak, I kept the house neat and tidy, but I wasn't a huge fan of cleaning, or cooking for that matter, and definately not gardening- well something's haven't changed, I still hate gardening! lol.. I kind of just plodded along doing what I "had" to do...
Now 3 years on, a little Prince slash Monkey child later, and what a different life I have now!! My days consist of housework, cooking cleaning and looking after Aidan, which I wouldn't have any other way, but it just makes me realise how much things really have changed, even if you don't really realise... I am now also such an organised person, my daily routine is the same day in, day out, and I love that fact... Mornings start when Aidan wakes, then he has breaky, Shane goes off to work, and then my day really begins, washing, dishes, vaccuming, all that fun stuff, then Aidan and I go for a walk, or go and do anything we need to do, or I bake.. another new found passion I have found- cooking, somethings mind you are an absolute flop and end up in the bin, but I look at it as a learning curve, well that's my excuse and I am sticking to it. Then Aidan goes to bed at lunchtime, and I have "ME" time, Shane is at work, Aidan is sleeping, and my housework is all done, and I love this quiet time! I also love the fact that I know when Aidan wakes up I will be greeted with "hiiiiiiiiiiiiii" and a big cheeky smile and we have the afternoon free to play... Whether it is singing to the Wiggles- I swore I would never do this by the way lol, or rolling around on the floor, chasing each other around the coffee table, or there is those "other" days, where he is climbing everything, pulling the entire contents of every cupboard and drawer out and spreading them around the house, squealing the whole time, and then deciding it's time to climb into the washing machine.... this is our latest battle, he has worked out how to open the damn thing, and proceeds to climb in there, then get stuck and scream blue murder! Oh they joys... or there is the other game, Harrass the cat, poor Skitz (our cat) I am truly suprised she doesn't have brain damage... he will sit and pat her nicely and gentle for a minute, and then it's game on, he will run around her in circles squealing, then pull her tail, or pick her up and decide to cart her around with him... this does not sit well with Skitz, she will scratch, or more often than not, bite, and he still doesn't care! I find it baffling how fearless these little monkeys are! One bite from her, and I am out of there, but for Aidan, it just makes it more fun!

So, my life is so very different now to what it was, which happens obviously, but you know what? I love it, yes some days are difficult, especially the joys of teething at the moment, and yes some days are oh so tedious and I just want to get out and do something, but on the whole, I love it, I love that while Shane is the one who is out at work, I am the one that keeps the fires burning on the home front... What the hell did I do with my time before Aidan though? Work obviously, but on the weekends? I can't fathom what on earth we used to do all weekend... I don't even remember, but it doesn't worry me... this weekend I will be playing super house hostess to the in-laws, should be fun, haven't had them over here for months, and they haven't seen the monkey walk--- OHHHHH how they are in for a shock!

Enjoy your weekend, I am off, need to eat before Aidan wakes up, and also need to think of tomorrow's topic...
