Hello to my new blog

First day blogging. My hopes for this blog is that it will be a great place to record my feeling and what not during the daily grind and JOYs of being a young stay at home mum to two young boys . I hope there won't be too much whinging but i can't promise anything. I hope my grammar won't be too painful, but yes it will often be incorrect and rushed. I hope my writing will be slightly interesting but my first and foremost need for a blog is to write because I love writing (doh should have put that as an intrest ) and to just let out some steam. As any stay at home parent knows the toughest part is the time spent at home without other adults for company.

My name is Ruth I have two boys Finley 3yo and Charlie 1yo. I have recently moved from the suburbs to a lifestyle block in the country. I am finding good and bad things about life rurally. It is definatley different in that you need to drive to go anywhere and that the closest anywhere to go to is 20min drive away. I have joined some playgroups as staying at home like I said earlier drives me batty. I think it's better for me and better for the children that we spend time with other familys.

Finley is coming up to 3 and is very much like myself, shy and lacking in confidence. Which is really sad because obviously the only way to help him with these things is to work really hard to overcome them in myself. btw please please please no mean feedback I'm a sensitive soul and trying to boost my confidence and deal with my feelings rather than lower my confidence and keep my feeling inside.  He is a very very loving boy and adores me his father and his baby brother. He is great once he is enjoying things he just takes a bit longer than most kids to feel comftorable in new situations.

Charlie has just turned one today ! Happy birthday my baby :( cliquihe time I can't believe he's one already blah blah blah it's gone so fast ) He is a very happy little man who is quite happy in any new situation and great at entertaining himself. Loves all new people and just generally a real pleasure to mother.

Husband the nicest man in the world willl try not to write too much about him . Our marriage is pretty happy and he does his best to help out where he can and put up with me when i'm having a tough day with our boys. Off course there are times when I feel that he just doesn't understand , and off course he doesn't how could he ? How could I expect him too he doesn't live it everyday.

Me as i said before I can be shy and lacking in confidence which are my least favourite things about myself. I had my babies very early by todays standards I had a daughter at 16yo, although i was a very young 16 and she has been adopted by a loving family that were in a much better position to provide her with a stable life than a 16yo girl. 3yrs later I met my now husband , at 21yrs we were married at 22 I had our first son Fin and at 24 our second son Charlie was born. Our family is now complete although part of me would love love love to try just one more time for another child (maybe a girl?? )  I know I know I shouldn't say that . I absolutley love my boys to death but won't lie and say that I wouldn't enjoy being a mother to a daughter. I'm also thinking its time for me to start to start to think about training (now) and entering the workforce when my youngest starts school. I don't know if I have a passion so it makes it a bit tricky when trying to decide what i want to study towards. I want to have a job I enjoy and that I am proud to tell people about when they asked that question 'so what do you do ?'

Goodness is that about average length or a bit of ramble hoping it wasn't to personal ? Not sure how personal one should be when blogging . I promise not to be too serious all the time but thought i better introduce myself honestly and openly. Very exctied about starting a blog and plan to update once a week. Goodness I hope I can be a bit funnier in the future I love funny blogs.
