Single Parent Very Empty Nest
My only child skipped off in to the sunrise of an exciting life in London, having rented a place with friends. It is a full year lease, with an option to renew.
This feels very permanent. A forever, might pop home overnight to visit mum, move. Although I maintain a room for her here I perceive she has effectively moved out, aged 19, for 2nd year University and for working in the City…

Bastard!
It is ok to be fucking angry. Work through it, it'll be for your good.
Some people are absolute fucking fuckers. They cause injuries and 4 decades later people are still trying to unpick those injuries which lay dormant for years.
If you are a fucking fucker, don’t do that. Stop. By any means necessary. Repent, you fuck faced bastard.
If you are the survivor from a fucking bastard, you totally rock, you’ve got this, they’re bastards and don’t deserve to see how…

My Surgeon is a magnificent woman.
Can you imagine what life would be like if we said true and kind things and supported one another? I got a glimpse.
I was at the hospital for a little check up and scheduling of a little thing last weekend. I’m lucky to have private health insurance through work so I get a say in this instance regarding scheduling so we both got our diaries out and compared notes.
A date for September was selected so that I can get Missy to all her University Open Days which finish around that time. We pencilled in a good…

Karate Sensei's; to fear or not to fear
Karate Sensei’s; to fear or not to fear
I like Sensei’s. They know their stuff. They’re often super calm and cheerful people. They have nothing to prove. They are capable and sensible and phenomenal instructors. They’re analytical and intelligent.
Lots of people are daunted by Sensei’s. I see black belts and colour belt grades being so afraid and deferential and I think “perhaps I should feel that way too, that level of deference…

Teens are the ones which age you.
Teens are the ones which age you.
Miles on the clock.
When Missy was little and cute and had ponytails and braids, I would look at the mums of teens and think “sure, I’m tired, the kid’s not sleeping but I’m never going to let myself look as old or fatigued as those parents, they look like they’re ready to be grandparents not ready to run around the park in youthful participation”.
Life soon took care of that one, eh.
It is the…

Why I wear dresses
Why I wear dresses
We have no dress code at work other than “be clean and tidy and don’t be offensive”. Two thousand people navigate the dress code daily with success. Most are jeans and a nice top, some lean toward office attire.
I typically wear dresses. The reason is simple. In the morning you only have to find one thing … not a combination to put together. Simple as that. The day I stumbled upon that…

When someone catches your eye
When someone catches your eye
Having closed my heart pretty much to favour one person since I was 19-ish, I find myself out the other side of a situation and one year on there is a sense of okay-ness. I feel contented, safe, well and hopeful. Life gets busy, home, parenting, DIY, sports participation, friends, and work, there’s a lot going on. It’s a great life.
But somehow, in the past few months I’ve started noticing…

Apples and Trees, Never Far Apart
Apples and Trees, Never Far Apart
Been thinking about family traits and how some become dominant and others lay dormant from one generation to the next. Visual similarities, meh, most people have those. If there were 20 kids and 5 dads in a huddle it’d often be pretty easy to pick out who belongs where. But how do personality characteristics become passed down? (more…)

Stood up for myself in a dream
Stood up for myself in a dream
I received Mr P’s girlfriends post here the other day which went straight in the recycling. Not my business. What I didn’t anticipate was to empathise with her in my dream and stand up to him in my dream too when we somewhat unexpectedly ran in to each other. All something my unconscious mind made up. All something that revealed a memory, a concern, a change and a courage.
The scenario was…

Going Stag To A Wedding
Going Stag To A Wedding
Good friends from work married this weekend and threw a party. The invitation included a plus one but I prefer to go to these things solo, so I did. I took the chance to catch up with the other guests, meet new people, they shared their life stories with me which was truly enriching, I got to see examples of relationships that work, and relationships that are on the slow motio tempestuous trail,…

Unhealthy lady eats fruit…. footage at 10pm.
I have a strong body, healthy in many respects, relatively free from affliction but built for comfort not speed! I’m not unhappy with it at all, I wear a swimming costume and head for the beach at a moments notice, I dance in my kitchen and at parties, I am grateful to be given such a sense of gratitude and endurance. Although I wouldn’t flaunt my less than perfect bits, I’m not ashamed of them…

The sweet hearted kindness of Teens.
The sweet hearted kindness of Teens.
This last week I had the chance to invite two friends who are teens to Karate class and they jumped at the chance, we arranged collections and all got excited and happy to be doing this.
Then on the day I gulped, suddenly shy and a little anxious because I’d be in my Karate suit when I picked them up and I felt bashful and a little vulnerable. Can you believe it? I normally strut through life…

Single Mom vs Normal Mom, it has to stop
Single Mom vs Normal Mom, it has to stop
i am brutally tired of seeing articles and t-shirt merchandise pitting single moms against normal moms. You know the kind of thing “Single Mom, like a real mom, only stronger” and “Things not to say to a single mom”.
Firstly, the opportunity to be a mother to a human being is blessed. It s an opportunity to learn and grow beyond your wildest imaginings. It is to see the world through another…

Laughing hard at the Soldier’s escapades.
This morning I was chatting with a friend regarding a future possible opportunity to study at a University abroad and somehow it got on to the topic of a retired soldier we both know so we shared some funny stories.
Like the time a door in Northern Ireland was kicked in and an IRA guy stood in the hallway by the stairs, winked at them and then shot – dude, that’s classy and funny as heck.

I got nothing.
Everything I want to talk about is private and not my story to tell, so I’m going to write to myself in my email diary instead and you’re going to have to make up stories in your own head regarding the Whyte House shenanigans. Fair enough? Good.
On the sharable side, I have the missionaries around for dinner and bringing a guest tonight, so that is a lovely thing to look forward to. Gotta do a…

Fainted like a Southern Belle, one week on.
Fainted like a Southern Belle, one week on.
So last week at Karate (been training now for around 19 weeks I guess) I fainted two and a half times. Three really but I managed to catch myself on the third go. It was a Southern Belle set of faints rather than felled like a tree faints so a little less embarrassing but still mortifying.
We weren’t even training vigorously, I was doing slow detail work with a black belt to finesse technique…

127 examples of success
My little two person family of parent and teen had a few challenges a few years ago but as the first anniversary of us moving in to our own home rolls around this month we find that life has changed and continues to change immeasurably for the better. We work toward health, toward happiness, toward financial stability and toward opportunity. This two woman crew plans for happiness,…
