My two Year Old is Beating me @ Colouring in...

Is it even possible that i can be less creative than my 2 yr old?
I know that sounds silly, but this child can come up with countless activities to do that had never even crossed my mind...
we have made a fort out of toys, a cubby out of her bed sheets (ok i came up with that one) and she is now pretending to be drinking coffee (like mummy)
I feel bad that Scott never really gets to see this side of her... He only gets the tantrums and the sooky side of her.. Shes a daddys girl through and through. Haha All the better for then i spose!
So after creating and destroying all these things she still comes and tells me that Daddy is coming home soon... I feel loved right... ??? ahahaha

my first blog peoples!

Ok, so hello out there to everyone in the land of blogs... First, let me introduce myself.. my name is Jess.. Im 22 and i have 2 beautiful girls under 3. they are a blessing (and a curse at times!) and i could never love anyone as much as i love them. I also have a partner, his name is Scott and we've been through alot of shit together. He is my rock and i never want to know life without him. My life hasnt been easy but it hasnt been the hardest either.

 I enjoy all the little things (and some big things) in life. I believe that every day is a gift and we should stop complaining about what we dont have and appreciate what we do have!



So basically thats me in a nut shell, im a lil eccentric, a lil stubborn and just little in general! :P



So to start in true blogging fashion, im going to have a whinge.  And feel free to post opinions on the matter (sometimes i think i overreact a little lol!)

My children are my life, my reason for getting up (and sometimes going to bed! :P) I could never imagine life without them and hope i never have to... too many parents take their children for granted.. Im tired of hearing these girls complaing that they have no 'me' time.. This is what happens when you have kids. How are you not aware of this? Yes everyone needs a break every now and then, when your parenting gets in the way of your drinking, maybe its time to stop drinking so much not the other way around. Sadly one person i know seems to think that as soon as something even remotely upsetting happens she calls up everyone available (sometimes complete strangers she hasnt met only knows online) to look after her child. I have been on the recieving end of these calls many times and have been mystified as to why she needs a babysitter 4 nights a week.
But hey this is just me and I may be strange... Everyone in my family seem to deal with things the way i do, they could be strange too.


There are many upsetting things in life and we all go through them, my honest opinion is that the people that can face their problems without drugs or alcohol are alot stronger than those who cant... No one thinks you look cool if you can drink a bottle of bourben in a night and neglect your child in the morning... They think you're a tool. No one thinks you look tough if you abuse everyone and scream at people trying to intimidate them, they worry for your childs safety. It isnt funny that you leave the house with the child asleep inside at 4am to have sex... Its down right F***ed up.

So why do i still associate with someone who upsets me this much? Im scared for her childs safetly. this poor little child has to look after himself.


I know whats its like to grow up with no mother and not much of a dad and its not nice. No matter how much you may not appreciate them, give your mum and dad a hug, tell them you love them cos it isnt easy raising kids...






As a side note, its 9:25am and already 30 degrees... Today is not gonna be fun! :P


Lets see how long we spend outside in the pool!
