So your life is perfect, all is well with your universe and one is happy as a pig in muck ... pllleeease who has this simple view of life ... not me, none of my gen x girlies and surrounding buddies. We all lead complex, sometimes confused lives, full of fun and games, tears and tantrums, humour and love.
Yet a recent reader of my blog thinks I sound unhappy. Well not unhappy - just functioning thru the usual ups and downs of wedded bliss, mothering joys, workplace pressures and time poor friendships. My life is a mixed bundle of joy, love, laughter, tiredness, tears (not usually mine), sharing, caring and considerable fuss and bother.
Am I any less happy than other gen x women working hard to be a wife worth having, a mother who is delievering, a friend who is giving, an employee worth paying ... I think not - but eh thanks for the concern.
I would suggest that I approach blogging with a sense of fun, a desire to rant, some underlying scarasim, a wee bit of wit and for the anonymous factor ... not because I am over archingly unhappy with my lot in life.
Please give me a break and take a long look at oneself and put energies into making that work - believe me if I was unhappy I would take measures more effective than blogging to fix my lot.
Thanks though for the concern ...

truely don't believe he wanted to upset you, was just worried.....
Ooh...that spiced up the blog a bit. I think I've become addicted to peaking into other people's worlds via their blogs, although I guess it is not really peeking if they are blogging!
I'm a fan of wifeinthenorth's blog though recently realised what different (socio-economic) worlds we live when she mentioned their family cars - a Saab and a Volvo from memory. I love reading the comments now as well. There seems to be such an online community of humour and support. So, Randy, keep on blogging!
