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!!

Gently Does It

I'm still trying to catch up on four nights of poor sleep.

I've slept well for the two nights that I've been in my own bed but this afternoon I needed a nap - which lasted for over two hours - but it was lovely.

It's now almost 11pm and I think I will fall asleep instantly.

I didn't get out of bed until almost 9am today so by then, Harley was hanging out to play. 

I made myself a chicken, red onion and avocado bread roll for breakfast and watched a few episodes of Great British Sewing Bee.

At lunch time, Adoring Husband decided to cook his 'fend for yourself' dinner.

Harley is terrified when we cook so he immediately hid behind AH's lounge chair. I decided to take him into my bedroom and chose that time to have my nap. He felt much safer in there.

We had our play time in the afternoon and I crumbed and cooked prawn cutlets for my 'fend for yourself' dinner. BGWLBH had already made her dinner while I was still napping.

The footy was on and I watched Bulldogs defeat St George and then Manly defeated Cowboys.

Then we came to bed and I've been watching YouTube videos of funny animals and people cooking special recipes. 

Now it's time to sleep.






Nite all.
