Welcome Kate

I'm on vacation. Kate will be your blogger this week. Please give her lots of love, because she's teh awesome.

Hmmm how to be a guest blogger, how to take the reins of someone else's blog and hope like hell you don't make it into the most boring place in the world.
Earlier today I spent several hours writing screeds of my life story in an attempt to come up wth something that maybe vaguely postable, I look back now and find it all positively yawn worthy but our wonderful host told me it was great. I allowed her editing rights to ensure it fit with the general look of the blog because lets face it I am not likely to get one of those writers prizes!
Now that the kids have gone to bed my brain is free to conjure up all sorts of wonderful things and I am feeling much more able to put them down onscreen.
So Im thinking this one may not need the editing of its previous counterparts (which ironically may end up being posted after this one anyhow!).
For those of you who haven't previously visited my precious little portion of the blogosphere I should maybe introduce myself, although don't expect me to remember anyone's names!
Im Kate, have been a long time reader and quite often commenter on this here blog, in fact I am happy to say that this one was my very first addiction, I now have a list of URL's as long as my arm and am fortunate enough to be able to make the time to read all of them (have to admit to recently taking advice and employing a blog tracker to make it a little easier though) during my day.
Although a dedicated stay at home mum (New Zealanders spell things different) to my two beautiful girls, I am also a mum of the solo variety. I work two jobs from home and everything fits nicely around the children so that I am able to still find a small quantity of sanity time somewhere in each day (and if I don't then the blog doesn't get posted to because that is my breathing space!).
I have dabbled my toes in work outside the home, as a caregiver, a cleaner and at one stage as a mechanic, but I object to paying someone else for the privilege of raising my children in their own image instead of mine!
That is pretty much me in a nutshell, I have views and morals and my children's safety, health and general well being come before anything else. I am happy being a solo mum and have recently come to the conclusion that I wouldn't trade it for the world.
So here's hoping Kimberly had fun editing my previous contributions and we can get to know each other a little bit over the next couple of weeks, if she decides to keep me on that is!!
