Life begins at 30!
So here i am, cooking the boys dinner at 4.12pm. Because they get off their bus at 4.30, have to get changed into their football kit, and out the door for 5.15. We aren't back until 8pm as both of them have training within half an hour of each other, at different locations!
Finn is fast asleep on the sofa, after a mammoth screaming session for the last hour, only to be relieved by one almighty belch!
All of a sudden, it dawns on me, in about 43 days i will no longer be in my twenties!! It feels ok though, i'm quite looking forward to no longer apologizing to my friends that i am indeed younger than them!
Time has gone so quick, i'm not even sure how i've gotten here! I was a write off at school because they didn't diagnose my dyslexia, so apart from making some good friends, i didn't really enjoy the experience. Cadets was my escape from school and as much as i was a shy, naive teenager, I loved it! I have lots of regrets about how i handled some things during my teenage years, but as the saying goes. I wouldn't be who i am without that.
Introducing myself over here and talking about me, travelling to Nepal and climbing the Himalayas, getting a gliding scholarship, having a baby and getting married so young... it doesn't feel like i've accomplished all of that. But it feels really good that i have.
Ten years ago Dave and i first met, it's absolutely insane! He's my everything. I have blinked and all of a sudden we are in America, with three kids under my belt! Sorry but huh?! I still think i'm 17 and carefree!
I would say, i would go back and tell myself stuff that i should have done differently but, whats the point?! I'm not perfect, i'm just me. I wish i stopped trying to please everyone and just felt confident in myself to be friends with people, but i didn't. Today, i'm just me! I like to look after people, i love listening to people! That was such a perk about being a waitress, i could indulge on my thrill of people watching!
Watching the boys grow up, i get worried that Lucas especially is going to be like me, a worrier! Which he is, but he's also a boy, with a lot less problems than a girls emotions!
So, dinner is burning, the bus is arriving and i'm sitting here procrastinating! Time to be a grown up!
Love to all
xx
