Easter holidays start here

Today at 3.15 the Easter holidays started, I know lots of people who fear this moment beacuse they have to organise childcare or arrange their holidays from work.  One of the advantages of being 'between jobs' is that school holidays can be looked forward to with great expectation, plans can be made and all of it can involve the three of us.  It's a shame Daddy has to work but it's good one of us does and at least at Easter there is the lovely long weekend to share together.  I am sure that short and shorter have more ideas than I can fit into two weeks but as long as they leave me a few hours to get some writing done, and maybe a bit of reading, I won't be holding back on the fun for anyone.

Holidays are the best when you have short people to share them with :-)

to think or to care

Today someone suggested that a blog was a great place to dump the contents of your mind, how strange would that be to put all your private thoughts out in the world to be read by people you don't know.  Some thoughts are made to be shared but some really should stay inside your head or at least not be placed somewhere like this for random people to read.

My thoughts are entirely un-interesting because most of the space in my head is taken up by worrying about people I care about and looking for ways to make other people's lives better.  Life is too short to think when you can care instead.

For the love of writing

The great thing is no one has found this yet, who would really it's just a whole load of words somewhere out there on the internet among the many millions of words people write everyday.

I've had quite a lot of fun recently reading and writing bits and pieces of Fan fiction on the internet.  Having never read a book for pleasure it is strange to think how many hours, in the last four months, I have spent reading some of the most amazing writing that will never be seen in a bookshop because it exists purely for the writers pleasure.  My enjoyment of it is a long way secondary to their enjoyment in writing it.

Many words exist on the internet and many will never be seen by any other people than those who put them there but if you are lucky enough to come across the words of a writer who is writing for their our amusement you should consider yourself very lucky I know I do.

Not much to say

So really I haven't all that much to say but I have always wondered what it was like to write things down somewhere and see if anyone ever found them so that's what I'm doing.

The life of an unemployed mother of two is not the most interesting thing although my beautiful little girls make everything fun.  Cooking, cleaning, school run, application form filling, ironing and then maybe a bit of playing.  I lie I do playing well before any of the other things.

Anyway no one will ever read this I'm sure but there it is.
