All Aboard!

Welcome to The Mother Ship!

Being a mom is like being part of an elusive club that you can really only understand once you are are living it.  And once you are living it, you might feel like your brain  (and body) has been taken over by aliens (aka children).  Hence:  The Mother Ship.

This space is for me to empty my head and blither about all the crazy, cute and endlessly irritating ridiculousness that goes along with being a mother.  And I welcome you to empty your head too!

Strangely, my mind is pretty blank right now.

Except for one thing.

Which doesn't really have much to do with motherhood.  Or does it?

Today I have realized that I am a Procrastination Eater.  As a self confessed Food Addict, (I love and loathe personality labels) I am trying to sort out what it is that makes me binge on food, any food, whatever I can get my hands on.  So I tried to pay attention to my eating today and noticed I was eating to avoid doing the enormous amount of cleaning I had to do before we move next week.  Once I realized that, I got off my fat ass and washed all the windows, did heaps of laundry, cleaned the bathrooms and vacuumed.  A whole months' worth of cleaning in one day!  (I will explore my lack of domestic goddess-ness in another post...)  Something to think about....

And now duty calls...in the form of a screaming three year old as her baby sister mercilessly pulls her hair.
