First Impressions Count

Wow, where on earth do I begin?!

Life's busy right? But we can all testify to that, Ive yet to actually meet another person in this crazy world that has said "I am content and happy and exactly where I want to be with zero stress and zero things I would change, given a fairy godmother scenario."

We can look at things through many sets of eyes and i am the first to admit, I can be naive and jealous of others situations without knowing a damn ounce of information that may diminish the view I have of them.

With that being said… I am going to blog about my life, which is in my eyes, pretty great. I have loads of stress and dramas mixed with idiots that try to ruin my day but I continue to smile. Why? Because I can, so there!

Okay, I will give you a brief run down of my life,  a contents page if you will.

CHAPTER 1 ~ Born 1982, Ellie. Older Brother Billy, One father, One mother. There may have been a dog in their somewhere too but i am not 100% sure on this fact as I was only just born and resembled some alien like creature (it's true all babes are odd looking)

CHAPTER 2 ~ Primary School ~ an all girls private school, in a outer city suburb, till year 7

CHAPTER 3 ~ Sea change! Now living in a small coastal town, attending school that has BOYS!!!!!

CHAPTER 4 ~ Leaving school, returning to school, leaving school, moving to the city to chase my Designer dreams, moving home deflated, attending college, then university again, chasing the Designer dream, again moving home.

CHAPTER 5 ~ Worker as a Designer, turning 21 and living the party hard work hard lifestyle

CHAPTER 6 ~ Car crash and ICU with brain damage for my brother, then a sort of surprise pregnancy(for me not my brother obviously) and just when things start looking good again a loss of a granny

CHAPTER 8 ~ Life after a baby and caring for a partner in recovery without work or family support… wait is there such a thing? Well yeah in my own way there definitely is!!

CHAPTER 10 ~ Honeymoon baby makes a family of 4!! Labour sucks and then just sucks some more.

CHAPTER 11 ~ new house, doesn't always make for a happy life, lazy husband who won't look for work, forced (decided it was easier for him) to work away with his brother

CHAPTER 12 ~ another baby will fix things right??? this will be a Cesarean after the unsuccessful nursing of baby 2. (this will also be a short chapter of fixing the marriage as it seemed)

CHAPTER 13 ~ Don't argue with a crazy person when they are the one calling you crazy! easy fixed, GET OUT OF MY HOUSE/LIFE!

CHAPTER 14 ~ 3 kids, aged 5, 3 and 1 years old, a 29 year old women armed with a powerful new found freedom… Come at me life!!!

CHAPTER 17 ~ things aren't always what they seem and kids are just plain weird

CHAPTER 19 ~ Heartbreak hurts, bad.

CHAPTER 20 ~ Sphinterotomy, bet you can't say you've had one of those?

CHAPTER 21 ~ Depression, Adult ADHD and Bipolar. Well I did say come at me life, I think you took this challenge out of context!

CHAPTER 22 ~ Dating… Tinder, Set ups, Plenty of fish, Meeting for a drink…. It's nothing like a Rom/Com! Waahhhhhhh


This is just a quick insight to my world, there is plenty of stories to come out of all this which I am going to generously share so you may laugh cry and make judgement of me from behind your own screen.
Please if there is any particular Chapter you wish me to write about, just ask! I am going to jump about rather than just post in order. I don't like doing things the way everyone expects. I will tell you the stories that relate to whats on my mind when I post.

Thanks for reading this far already!
