I used to have a standard introduction I'd use at times like this: "I'm a mum, a software developer, a tuba player, a blogger, a baker, a board game player, and very short on time." That was in the days of one child.

Then along came the twins. I had to redefine my understanding of "very short on time."

They're four now, and I still haven't got the hang of life as a mum to three. I'm not sure I ever will. I like it, sometimes. I hate it, sometimes. I'd rather gouge my eyes out with a lawnmower than listen to one more shrieking, flailing argument, sometimes.

My life over the last four years has been a blur of sleep deprivation, never-ending toilet-training, and wilful destruction of property. My boy twin drew on my tuba last week.

LJ Idol is new to me, but way back in 2008 I was a finalist in stuff.co.nz's inaugural Blog Idol competition. I wrote for their parenting blog for four years. The blog lead to experiences I never expected, like appearing on New Zealand television, and speaking at a parliamentary select committee.

I have my own blog now, The Never-Ending Laundry. Maybe you can relate.
