OK. I have been looking around the Internet at other blogs - possibly something I SHOULD have done prior to starting this one and it is slowly dawning on me that there is much that I am doing wrong - or differently to others.
First up: being anonymous
Clearly, the most interesting blogs have a photo attached so you can see what they look like. AND most bloggers have no qualms whatsoever about writing a LOT of personal info. There is an awesome blog called Motherhood Uncensored (if I knew how to link it I would - I will - as I learn...) which has a photo of the blogger, her children and a riveting account about her nutty in-laws. Isn't she worried they will read it?? Now don't get me wrong, I know the internet is a BIG place, but seeing as there are only six degrees of separation (did I get that right? I remember reading about it in a doctors' surgery once) surely SOMEONE somewhere will out her. She is brave. I find it hard to admit it to myself even that I am somewhat,not particularly enamoured with my in laws, at times, on occasion, perhaps... How wishy washy is that??
Can't believe I am writing crap like that and then calling this blog 'opinionated female'.
So, in the spirit of all the brave bloggers who divulge amazing things about themselves I will tell you more about myself. I am thirty. Yes thirty. I have three children (started young). I teach Sunday School. I drink much more than I should. I spend much too much on clothes than I should. I fight more with my family than I probably should. I go to university. I hate daycare. I have been married for ten years. That's about it for now...I realise facts are boring - I will detail more about these things as they come up.
BUT I am still really amazed that people are so OPEN about their personal stuff...I don't know if Icould ever do that - although I imagine it would be extremely freeing! I swing wildly between wanting to be outspoken, open, honest ( a la Germaine Greer ) OR kind, saintly, soft ( a la Darlene Zschech ).

A typical quandary; we went to the movies with some friends recently (took the kids to see The Bee Movie - don't bother, it was dull) and there were some feral kids running around the cinema annoying everyone else while their mother just sat and watched the movie ( I HATE parenting like that). So, Lou - the other wife - growled at them and I mean GROWLED. Me? I wouldve just sat there through the whole thing gritting my teeth and getting increasingly annoyed. I may have shot the mother a look outside the cinema. But not Lou - and I admire her for it. Sometimes I think I would like to be more like that - but then I hang out with another friend - Rachel - whose halo is only slightly invisible and I think 'No, serenity is the answer. Aim for peace, softly spoken words and above all - do unto others'. Hmm... my poor children are growing up underthese wildly variant conditions!!

Ok, so now my laptop is doing really weird word wrap things and I am writing from the left rather than the right.

Oh how on earth I have aligned to the right? I am blaming the laptop but deep down I realise it's me. Bummer.

OK I will finish this post, log out and hope that it goes back to normal. See kiddies? The importance of doing computing at school?

How embarassing - back in a sec hopefully.
