Scheduled for publication on the 2nd March, hopefully you can access the link straight away this time. LOL
It’s a fluffy read, different from my usual.
Something you probably never knew about me…

Hi Karyn, just want you to know, I have successfully clicked the link and read your post. Nice one! And I just want to let you know that I am now moving to my new site on http:://indomama.co.cc and no longer blog on work & write.
Thanks!

Yeah, I’m not a tecno failure this time! Thanks for letting me know Pipi. I’m going to come and check out your new site now. Pleased you enjoyed the new post on worldmomsblog.
Great post! Thanks for letting us into your home. Poised on the brink of a new home myself, it makes me wonder if things we be more organized, or if our project-ing will be more successful! Somehow I doubt it. My project tend to be things that can be crammed into a box and hidden, like the quilt I started for my parents, oh, about 3 years ago.
I think a home like yours with lots of activity, even if it’s chaotic and doesn’t get finished, is much more wonderful than a home where everything is neat as a pin and all anyone does is watch TV!
Thanks Elena. I think projecting is a healthy sign, too, but it would be nice to be a little more under control with it all!
Hi
You made my day. I had a good laugh. Not at the expense of your family but at how accurately you have described mine! Well my husband is not an archer more like a computer geek, still amazing how sharp and pointy computer bits are that drops on your head! On top of it all I am an artists and my ‘studio’ travels around the house depending on my mood
Pleased you enjoyed our ‘story,’ and can relate to it. I still can’t decide if we need more house, less stuff or just more time to sort it all out!
oh what I would give to have a good fairy. “domestic blindness” describes us perfectly. We could somewhat manage to keep things under control before baby. Now – not so much!
Before baby, you could start and finish a task without someone interrupting you, eh?!! Same here. Although, some fabulous person put my on to the flylady.net – and that is helping us heaps. I do think we need to forgive ourselves for being in the baby-coma, and concentrating on our little loves first though. Mothers who are not so interested in their houses, and more interested in loving baby, apparently have children who are more emotionally secure – I like that theory – let’s run with it! LOL
