I wanted to write a witty blog but maybe I'm too serious

Having to start  a blog as a uni assignment is quite daunting.  I'm not much of a sharer, even though I am on Facebook, and have recently started using instagram.  I really am just not that interested in people knowing all that much about me.  A touch of mystery is always good, right?  Well here we go anyway, and as it is not a state of normal for me I am going to share.  I am going to share the mundane, the exciting, the everyday excitements and frustrations of trying to do it "all", whatever all is.

Life is ridiculously busy for me, whilst so often feeling like it is on hold.  I'm a wife, a mother, a uni student, crazy cat and dog lady (so often my fb posts are animal related, how sad).  I try to keep the family nourished with delicious healthy foods (that are devoid of sugar, but more on that later), keep the house neat, walk the dogs, stay fit, keep on top of uni, spend 'quality time' with my son, nourish my relationship, stay sane, have alone time. 

 Life suffers during semester, I stop answering phone calls and replying to texts, I tend to not visit family and friends, and do as little as possible while keeping up with 'it all'.  There are some moments that are unproductive however - I don't study at night, no housework is done whilst the rest of the house is asleep, and I watch what is probably a stupid amount of television given all of the above.  So I guess this leads me to an aim for the rest of this semester for  a beginning - to be more 'present' in whatever it is I'm doing at the time.  To stop over complicating tasks, whether on the uni front or home front.  And I don't have to do it all.  Maybe.

And just maybe I will get to write those witty posts.
