The most untecho-savvy person ever?

Hi and welcome to my blog - is there any one out there? If there isn't well, I'm ok with that. I love to write and I'd be doing the same thing on my desktop anyway. At least this way there's a better chance of connecting with someone, somewhere, sometime.

Look, I'm one of those Gen Xers who just about missed the computer boat altogether. I still haven't figured out how to get songs onto my Ipod my hubby gave me for Christmas (and he's just as bad) and I know there's a way to link my Ipad to the net I just need my mate Tim to come to do it for me, and well, blogging is a leap into the unknown for me. It just may be a complete dud - or not. All I know is words are my thing.

You see, I've just  stopped working fulltime, to spend more time looking after my family and me. They say working mothers can have it all. That's crap. All I  really  had was exhaustion. But I love to work, I loved my job - it was more like fun than anything else. And of course the money helps too.

But with hubby working long hours and often away, the rest of us were grumpy and tired. Now is the time for us to recover and catch up on all those things for which we didn't have time. This is time for me to reconnect with the kids, to write whatever I want to write, when I want. To spend all day reading if I want, while the wee ones are at school. Or to Google old boyfriends - yes, the former love of my life is now jowly and grey - do I look so battered these many years on? I think not, but then I thought I was 13kg lighter than the scales tell me I am. How we self-delude! How much time I've wasted on regrets. It's time to move on, towards better times.

Let's see what the future holds. Come along for the ride if you want. Just don't expect any pretty graphics!
