But I have grand plans of being a published author one day. My father does too, so I can take care of him in his old age - financially I mean, he will be able to take care of himself until the bitter end, when god strikes him down, and even then I except he will put up a fight (stubborn bustard)!
Anyway i digress - I don't know what sort of book I want to write, fiction, self help (not likely you have to a guru at something and I cant figure my own life out so I doubt I can fix yours), doco style, I just don't know. So I figured the best way to work towards that goal is just to start writing and see what happens.
So here goes. . . I hope at least a few of you join me for the ride and I would like to say that is so I can get some helpful feedback but really it would just feed my ego to know people were reading what I was writing!
So I guess I should give you the low down on me. . .I am a single mum of one beautiful baby boy (and that is ALWAYS the start of my description now - funny how MUM replaces even your own name so quickly) who lives in a cute little cottage by the sea with my truest friend in the world - lets call her Rae, creative aren't I Rae?
She is only one of many amazing friends, from which I could not possibly pick a BESTY (I have been undeservedly blessed in the friend department) but I do think she one of a very select few that I could live with, or that could live with me for that matter.
Of course my boy lives here too (lets call him boy). And he is such a source of joy for me. He is 7 months old and learning new things every day. Like yesterday he was standing up holding on the his play gym when he thought he would try and let go, while he only balanced there for about 15 sec he is SO proud of himself.
Why do we, as we get older, lose the ability to be content with even the smallest of our own achievements.
His face just beamed up at me with a big gummy smile as if to say "Aren't I the cleverest boy in the world Mum?" And as I typically mum would for a moment I was filled with an overwhelming sense of "My god, YOU ARE!"
Wow - I'm impressed with how easy it has been to write this much, I am ashamed however that I have read it back to myself twice now and each time I find more typos. For someone born into the computer world I am a hopeless typist and even worst speller! So I guess if nothing else this blog will help with that.
And while I have much more to say - I haven't even finished giving you all a piece of my background boy is awake and yelling for my attention. He has been awake for about 10min now so the little grizzles are about to turn into full fledged cries!
But he will nap again, so I will be back.
