So I finally find myself back here on my blog page wondering what to write. I remember having the same feeling when I first signed up with Blogger. Will people be interested in my thoughts on life the universe and everything,- the innane ramblings of a homonally challenged middle aged faerie? Well I guess I'm about to find out :)
Why Middle Aged Faerie?
When I started to toddle at about 2 years old. I did so on my toes and continued to flit everywhere on my toes through out my childhood ! Now I don't do so much flitting, but I'm just as comfortable on my toes as walking with flat feet.
Middle age has certainly caught up with me, and when I least expected it! One minute I was a busy mother of three kids plus various waifs and strays, and the next, they all left home and left me with an empty nest! Don't misunderstand me. I had no problem with them moving out and finding their own way in the world. After all I raised them to be independent for just this reason, but I couldn't help but be a little sad to see them go, knowing that an important stage in my life was over too.
It was only after I had been wallowing over my empty nest for a little while, I suddenly realised I had become middle aged!. I had gained wrinkles where there were none before, my hair had smattering of Grey and my waist measurement was getting too close to my hip measurement! I pondered this for a time, and not being used to middle age. I wondered what I should do! Then I woke up one morning and knew. It was time to find a use for the spare bedrooms, buy some hair dye and join a gym! Taking a deep breath I looked around my peaceful home and gallantly stepped into a new stage of my life.
I started regularly attending a Gym with a friend. I dyed my hair a lighter colour. One of the bedrooms was awaiting furniture to become a guest room, and the other had been converted into a makeshift recording studio which was keeping the "other half" busy. We finally had peace and our own space and it was wonderful! Little did we know, the storm clouds were starting to gather.
