how it all started

I had better explain how this blog actually got off the ground. As I’m not really an internet savvy person. I don’t have a facebook page, tried to set up a twitter account but got confused, i don’t get pinterest, and loading apps on to my phone is still a bit touch and go.

At work I’m one of the few in the team with kids, and when I recount the latest episode or horror stories to the millennials or prospective (younger) parents they just don’t believe me. They suggested I start a blog. Over several lunches we brain stormed it (knocked a few ideas about) and I got convinced I could do it. They obviously realised my digital limitations and bought me a book “how to set up a blog for idiots”. I read it and here it is.

But I’m not sure if I’m using the right software, I only wanted a blog where I could write stuff. It might be a web page format. and now I’ve started and I don’t want to go back. I’m just ploughing ahead. A bit like following the Ikea instructions, you skip a few steps as it’s only a few screws for a small cupboard. before you know it you have to start using the hammer. and then The Wife ushers the kids out of earshot as the language starts to deteriorate. I’m feeling like that. but strangely excited at venturing out into the digital world. hopefully this won’t be as wobbly as our shelves.

too busy to note it all down

When the kids turned up and started doing all manner of cute things, and we said we should note it all down as it was so funny or worth remembering.

But we didn’t.

Life was just too full of just hanging on by our fingernails, careering from one chaotic situation to another, that we never had time to sit down and write anything.

So i have now decided to note down everything that happens, funny, worthy, memorable or not. I’ll let others do the triage later.
