Just going slowly insane

So the week begins again and I feel like screaming. Don't get me wrong I love being a stay at home mum but some days I just feel I would like to go to work or college just so I can have a adult conversation, to have a few hours without S demanding all my attention and to be me and not just a wife and mother.

I had have lots of conversations with fellow mummies its not just me who feels like this we all do from time to time. I also know a few mummies who would hate to be a SAHM.  It is hard work and I do feel like I am going crazy sometimes especially when my husband is away and I really dont have any adult conversation at all.

That being said a SAHM can be really rewarding as well, I get to see all of her milestones which I would miss if I wasn't at home.

Madness.....

After watching the Wright stuff on channel 5 this morning I am outraged at the comments made about stay at home mums. It seems some people think that stay at home mums are wasting their time being at home to look after their children. That women shouldn't be offered university places because they will have kids, come out of employment and therefore waste their degree and therefore shouldn't be educated!!!!

I do not hoover and wipe bums all day and I certainly don't think I am wasting my time. How can anybody judge what a stay at home mum does we don't have a job description do we?  I can't think of a more valuable way a person could spend their time by educating and bringing up their children, and what an important contribution to society they are making by bringing up well rounded and happy children who will be the next generation of tax payers.

As a friend said Education never goes to waste, It enriches the soul and broadens the mind, and it makes you a better teacher to your children.

For me I am still undecided about having another child. If I don't have another one I will be going back to work in 2014 when S starts primary School. I won't be going back to the career I had before S I will be getting an education to learn a new set of skills. For now I am happy being a stay at home mum.

A little about me...

I know theres that bit to the left that tells you a tiny bit about me but thought I write a post to tell you a little more.

My name is Lisa I am 30 hence the name of the blog :-) I live in Belfast with my husband and my gorgeous 2 year old daughter. I am a SAHM which 99.9% of the time I love.

I am a bit of a geek and would love to go to Comic Con (My husband being a geek himself thinks that this makes me sad!!!)

I love to make things, I have several hundred tutorials in my pinterest account I have still to work my way through.

 I love to bake mainly sweet things and bread ( theres something very therapeutic about kneading bread by hand)

I love reading, since getting my kindle for my 30th my husband thinks I should get rid of my 'real' books, I can't I still love going to our local bookshops I could spend all day there if I could.

I have recently discovered a love for writing which is why I started this blog. I didn't actually think anyone would read it but you do and seem to like it. I have had some lovely comments from a few of you in the last week this really makes me smile. I hope to find more time to write now that our sick household is starting to feel better.

Desperately seeking mummy friends

I am a member of the netmums website on there is a section called Meet a mum where you can meet mums in your area.

People post I suppose what you would call a personal ad hoping that someone likes the sound of them enough to send them a reply. I have indeed posted one of these ads myself mine was not that successful (It must have been the way I worded it lol)

I have answered a few ads and have met up with a couple, some don't work out (Like the one who was 10 years younger than me, we didn't have anything in common) and one became a very good friend. Next week I'll be meeting two more mummies so we'll see how it goes.

My sister thinks it very strange that I go and met anyone from the internet, personally I think she reads way too many crime books as she thinks they are either going to kidnap me or S or murder us both. My husband is not a huge fan of me meeting up with so called  "randomers"  either.

I think it is nice that such a service exists I know as a SAHM it does get lonley sometimes and you do crave a bit of adult conversation.
