Some People Use Vodka

"How do you cope?" is the question I get asked most often. Most people cannot fathom half of the crap I fit into my life (let alone the trio). Truth is, I cope by trying not to sweat the small stuff, employing some good parenting ideas, being a generally lazy person (and hence looking for shortcuts everywhere) and enjoying chocolate.

This month is National Blog Posting Month, where bloggers attempt to write a post every day for all of November. I managed it last year (go on, check out the archives) and I'm going to give it a red hot go again this year. There is no official theme to the event, but I'm giving myself a theme - coping. In other words, I'm going to spend 30 days telling you how I cope with it all - so you can expect some random odes to ice cream, some decent family recipes, some general stuff about the madness of my life. I know, this theme is really no different to my usual blogging, but by giving it an official theme I feel somehow all grown up. AND being bound by the NaBloPoMo rules, I'll actually get some blogging done... instead of my usual sitting here and wondering what the hell to write about.

So, onwards to NaBloPoMo. As per normal, suggested topics, recipe requests, and general name calling all encouraged and appreciated.
