My wardrobe....my god!

I have never in my life been accused of spending too much time or money on fashion, shoes or my hair. (I recall the look of horror a friend gave me once when she asked to borrow my hairdryer and I told her I didn’t own one. I don’t think I own an iron either.) Those who know me might call me many things – no comments from the peanut gallery thank you - but I’m betting none of them would include trendy, stylish or haute couture.

Parenting on my Own

I’ve always considered myself strong and capable in so many ways, yet this little person has the ability to reduce me to a dribbling mess. Why don’t I feel as though I can cope on my own for 7 days? Other women do it. Other women appear to do it with ease, although surely this can’t be the case. Hubby called this morning to tell me that work was sending him away for seven days and six nights and I burst into tears.
