FortySomething FirstTime Mum: July 2013
http://fortysomethingfirsttimemum.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
A Change of Life as I hurtle towards same! Tuesday, July 2, 2013. Don't Wait A Moment Longer! A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault. John Henry Newman. I started this blog. In May 2010 when I was feeling a little lonely. I started this blog when I felt I wanted to reach out to others in the same position as me. I also started this blog to indulge my love of writing. When I put the blog out there. Lifestyle and almost forty two when I became a parent!

A Change of Life as I hurtle towards same! Sunday, January 22, 2012. It's Happened at Last. The Icing On The Cake! Well, it's finally happened to me. I always said if this day ever came I would have truly flipped! In my twenties and thirties, while others of my age were settling down and figuring out what family life was all about, I was working and partying my days away. I saw these things as too mundane, ordinary, and restricting and that terrified me. I have wonderful sisters in laws and a mother in l...

A Change of Life as I hurtle towards same! Wednesday, April 4, 2012. Can You Ever Get Enough Hugs? How do you feel? Can you ever get enough hugs? The answer for some, would be a resounding yes because they don't consider themselves to be huggy people. They are uncomfortable with touchy, feely people and so they retreat from. Rather than respond to. The answer for others, like my mother and other senior citizens that I have asked, would be no, because they simply do not get many, if any. Who travels the w...

A Change of Life as I hurtle towards same! Saturday, June 23, 2012. Who Do You Turn To? The best thing about having a sister was that I always had a friend - Calie Rae Turner. Oh sure, I have some close friends but we are not as involved in each others lives as we would be if we were related. I feel that this is true in most cases, though, I accept, not all. I. Have a friend who never got along with her sister growing up and that has never changed. Most of my friends had children before I did and althoug...

A Change of Life as I hurtle towards same! Monday, November 18, 2013. I'm standing by the living room door. He's playing happily with his toys. He asks why I am staring at him. I only realise I'm doing it when he asks the question. He asks me to stop because he doesn't like it. I think how my mother often does the same to me. Everything about him is magical, the fact that he's part me and part his Dad. I hope he gets his Dad's brains. And not my tendency to veer away from the logical and drive my...Will ...

A Change of Life as I hurtle towards same! Tuesday, January 7, 2014. What Lessons Did You Learn in 2013? What lessons did the year 2013 bring for me? And we forget that we are not all the same. After all, it feels safer to be part of a group, doesn't it? Even if we forget that within that group there may be someone who doesn't entirely fit the mould. I see that we are one in a human sense concerning the things we actually need. One of the lessons that I finally learned as 2013 came to a close was that tr...

A Change of Life as I hurtle towards same! Friday, February 24, 2012. Sick in the Head? I am unwell at the moment. I have some kind of virus. Or bug. Or infection. It started weeks ago as a cough and has now graduated into a full blown illness. I woke up yesterday with a thumping head, sore throat and aches in parts of my body I didn't know existed. It seems she spent years in various countries highlighting human rights issues and the plight of the ordinary citizen. What a brave woman, writing about ...

A Change of Life as I hurtle towards same! Tuesday, March 20, 2012. Getting Old in Ireland. It really is no fun getting old in the Ireland of today. I am sure this is the case in many other countries too, but I am not able to speak for other places. As an older mother, and, as of last week, someone who is nearer to fifty than forty, I now also have. An older mother and I feel compelled to comment on this. Some would say, well why should she have 'free' domestic help anyway? I understand that there is an ...
