I wanted a nice catchy title, to create a little blog about daily life and my eccentric plans for making a bob or two. I kept coming up with stuff like 'The Wild Housewife' .....basically whatever I came up with sounded either downright rubbish or like a dodgy porn film title!
Anyway, eventually - having just snapped at the kids - I remembered a joke that got e-mailed to me the other day, something like: I just want you to know I've entered the 'snapdragon part of my life - part of me has snapped and the rest of me is draggin'. Very funny, except I'm turning into a dragon, more than I'm draggin'. So yeah, anyway, that's why the title is what it is!
In a nutshell, I'm a housewife. Happily Married, Two kids - depends on the time of day as to whether I consider them wonderful ;) but like so many families, we only have one income. We worked out - when discovering I was pregnant with our first little darling, that it would be cheaper for me to stay at home and look after the kids full-time, than it would be for me to go out to work and have a stranger bring up our kids. NOT that I have a problem with Childminders, I just have a fixed image that the childminder will teach the kids that some behaviours are acceptable, and maybe I don't find those behaviours acceptable.
So anyway, here we are, with a mortgage and children and a bank account full of moths, and I'm sure we're not the only family in this state, so maybe my blogging away about my madcap make it rich schemes will either help or amuse anyone wandering past my blog page. Maybe I can just eventually print my whole blog out and send it to a publisher and get rich that way. In the meantime, does anyone know next weeks winning lottery numbers....?
