But I am terrible when it comes to Mum things and when I go to a class or any other event where I know no-one. I just come off as rude and stand-off-ish. Which I'm not. I assure you. I hate it.

I'd just like to know all the facts and figures on all sorts of social justice issues for when I am having a fiery conversation with someone. Instead I feel like I end up getting too angry with the other person's ignorance (hmmm and mine), and then I wind up looking like a dumb blonde, hysterical female! <br /><br />But just getting rid of the nervous rash would be great ;)Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00310824411609745841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751844810135357320.post-27093857074696857942010-04-27T11:16:54.555+10:002010-04-27T11:16:54.555+10:00Fhe fantasy me definitely speaks up if she disagre...Fhe fantasy me definitely speaks up if she disagrees with something and never blushes when doing so.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00090958027924599852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751844810135357320.post-1306764145670140012010-04-27T10:26:36.348+10:002010-04-27T10:26:36.348+10:00I'm right there with you.

I have been trying to really strike the balance of late with a newborn i.e. saying no to people wanting to pop over/catch up vs creating routine for bub/extra sleep for mama. a tough one but i am getting there and feel a lot better for it.
