A Strange Thought
I used to think that the most boring thing on the planet would be to settle down; have early nights; a husband who loves you and mows the lawn and washes the car; two or three sprogs; mess and toys and a washing machine always going…
But now I’m beginning to think that the normal family - with the kids and the car and the lawn that needs mowing and the washing machine always going - are actually the most extraordinary thing.
Creating and protecting a home where boisterous love and the clitter clatter of noise take precedence: now that is far from a dull and pointless pursuit.
Funny how your tastes change, eh?

Far from dull. But I injured myself on a small Batmobile replica last night, so there are drawbacks.

Funny how people call it ’settling down’, seems to me, life just gets more hectic

Shannon: Drawbacks yes, but Batmobile injuries are certainly not dull.
Kirses: Agree. Am hectic all the time without small ones, so god knows what’s in store. More caffeine probably.
