a quick snapshot

Ok lets just get this intro thing out of the way, who am I? why am I blogging?

I talk to lots of people and I get sick of repeating myself and I'd like to tell my stories and thought in a more concise interesting way, then if someone is really interesting in finding out about me they can just come here.

I'm 38, which I can't really believe, mentally about 25. I wouldn't want to go backwards cos it was hard enough the first time around. I have two boys aged 10 and 15 which we did the merry-go-round with the special needs circuit. I work as a nurse, but I am in the early years and still learning. I separated last year and whilst hard it was freeing in a lot of ways.

I grew up in central Victoria, Australia and I'm back here now after 15 years, which felt like going back to square one. In the meantime I've lived in Brisbane, Townsville, Adelaide Hills and lastly Darwin.

Being back at square one here in the country feels weird, it's so 'white bread' here , especially after Darwin. a lot of people here haven't really been anywhere or done anything. Maybe that's harsh, maybe I envy their contentment. When my ex was thinking about life after the army I thought hell I don't know which state I want to live in even. Then I became a single parent, and like my sister said, as a shift-worker with two kids you really don't have a lot of options :(

So anyways here I am still trying to work out who the hell I want to be and gradually ticking off the boxes to establish life as I want it. That's enough about me, the following posts I would rather release my humour and skewed view on things.
