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!!

Slow Start

3rd Highest Cause of Death

After a night of broken sleep, thanks to both mine and Harley’s bladders, I was up at 5.30am to let Harley out and then I returned to bed for about an hour.

Harley and I played in the pool area for about 45 minutes. When I said to him “Are we done? Shall we go now?” he jumped onto my lap and leant against me so that I couldn’t move! The harder I tried to get him off me, the harder he pushed his body against me so that I couldn’t move!

I laughed so hard I almost wet myself.

Eventually I escaped from his clutches and began to make breakfast for the clan.

Adoring Husband had to drive into The Bay for a scan and realised after I’d broken his eggs into the pan that he had to leave earlier than originally planned, so Harley got to enjoy an extra breakfast.

I did some more art, adding to the skull painting.

I watched a movie called “Ride the Eagle” which I quite enjoyed.

For dinner, I cooked a frittata with all the leftovers from last night’s lamb roast. It was delicious!

MAFS and then bed.

Time for me to sleep now (like Harley).

Nite all.
