Real Talk Time

So I started a blog, I thought of a fancy pants blog name, I racked my brain thinking of blogger things to write about...and then I sacked it off as it was shit.
I want to write, I've always wanted to write but I'm going to write about the one thing I have a lot to say about... REAL LIFE.
A bit about me first ... I can come off harsh - example I have been known to call my bundle of joy 'an arsehole' (not to his face I must add) - I had a face of horror and a comment of "I'm so glad you said that, I've always wanted to say that". I'm sarcastic and mardy but I promise its jokes (80%!)
I'm a big fan of sharing the shit times. I love a glam blog, I wish I could write a glam blog but I'm not that person. I intend to write about real life experiences (the good and the bad), the reality of toddlers and I'll freely admit probably a few times as I go - being a Mum can be HARD.
Today's been an awesome day - I can hand on heart say my 22 month old has been an angel baby today. He's stroked my hair and leg a thousand times saying, "ahh Mammy", he's ate all his dinner and tea (I have to stress this has not happened in at least 2 weeks) and he even asked for his nappy changed after a poo (GENIUS KID).
That's not to say today still hasn't been a minor struggle - I've been aware all day to limit tv time/get off my phone/ tell him I love him/tell him hes good/count his 5 a day/keep him from harm - the general everyday concept of being in a charge of a small person is bloody scary even 22 months later.
I wish I'd decided to do this blog a month back after a particularly 'hilarious' (it was awful) swimming experience - but I'm fairly confident there'll be 100 more 'funny' experiences along the way...
I'm constantly commenting on how much I hate the judgemental world of Mums - the perfect insta Mums, the 'I know EVERYTHING' Mums and *duhn duhn duhn...* the breast brigade - but I actually love being in the "we're in it together, you can do this" Mum club ...

If you've had a bad day... you can DO THIS!
