Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

Sleeping Babe

It's been a full day of play.

Hide n seek, tag (she's much faster than she looks .. or perhaps I'm much slower than I feel!), drawing pictures, colouring in, watching Shrek on dvd and then Mr Make It, bath time splashing fun, play time with Lizardy Lizard and Gecko Girl, finally five stories at bed time and then sleep.

She fell asleep, for the second time ever, in my bed with her legs draped over me. I was stuck for a while there!


It's now almost 8pm which makes it the 'longest' she's ever slept in my bed as well!

I wonder how long she will last. I wonder what time she will wake up and say "I need my Mama".

Ah well, I will enjoy it while it lasts.

It's been a good day .. but no photos.

Mama's birthday tomorrow, so we'll definitely get some pics then :)

Nite all.
