"But really", said my single friend Sally, "Being a stay at home mum, surely it's all just Jeremy Kyle in a morning and drinking gin in the afternoon?"
Hello there....I'm Kerry and about 18 months ago I became a stay at home mum. This was not when i first became a mum. I became mummy to First Born Son in December 2005 and uncerimoniously scarpered back to work as soon as my 6 months maternity was over. I skipped out of the private day nursery gates and never really looked back. Some days i didn't even change a pooy nappy. Then when The Daughter came along in 2008, along with a not insignificant economic downturn, I found myself redundant from my, 'resonably well paid for limited effort job'.
So began my foray into stay at home mummydom. The reason I am starting this blog now is because in exactly 1 month FBS is starting school and TD is starting pre-school three mornings a week. Precious time to myself is finally in sight. But it has been a rocky few years...the time both kids got locked in a public lavatory, the escort round sainsburys, the time FBS spray painted the neighbours cars. Yep, you're gonna hear them all. From the first time I heard myself say "Can you see the wee on these jeans?", to TD singing "All the single ladies, all the single ladies...", in the back of the car. There have been tears (mainly mine) but lots more reasons to smile than I ever had at work.
I hope it makes you smile too!
Kerry B xx
