A woman on the edge…

By On · 2 Comments · In blog

I am all for being a high tech, super cool, down with the twitter/FB/blog/6 packed, skinny jean wearing, emotionally aware, working frantically, full time yummy mummy BUT how do you tap out a tweet with the speed of a 14 year old, tiny finger tipped youth and make a healthy and nutritious packed lunch, delicious dinners and still have a, ‘yes darling Barbies horse does look lovely wearing Lego as her earrings.’ conversation, with your 4 year old? Let alone negotiate the world war 4 and 5 that will break loose when her brother sees she has taken the key pieces that held together his Star Wars Lego masterpiece which is now not in 1 but 12 pieces……….
…and not to be joked about but if I am gonna die, it ain’t gonna be banging out a tweet, applying lip gloss, driving in the pouring rain…. which I witnessed in horror today….. !!!!
Luckily my rage was overtaken by my desire to not too get soaking wet, but I did imagine jumping out , swinging open her door, dragging her out of her car in the rain and screaming her stupidity in her face.
Goodness, it is clearly time for me to let off a little steam….. perhaps a kick boxing class, anyone……

    Poor guy …. much pain and truth in his life, so young ….. analyzing the situation and their experiences, is more than understandable words and his attitude ….. wounds do not close completely, but life will help ease the pain …..
    Vashti, you and your family are truly amazing …. Thanks for sharing that part of your life with us!

    HAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA!!! I often have the same visualisations when driving. I decided that I should take up some intense physical activity, if not for my sake, for that of my kids so they dont grow up with a mummy in jail. ;)
