Posts are like buses...none for ages, then three come along at once!
I have been 'growing' recently...not 'expanding' I add, just growing. And about bloody time, I hear people who know me cry?!
I suppose everyone has epiphanies - just this week our three year old has discovered that sharing treats with your brothers gains you 'rewards'. Specifically, they are so pleased, they read her the book when she asks!
In my life, I have had several epiphanies, most were before the age of seven and in my mind, they all happened the same winter:
1. Walking home from infant school I discovered that semi-circle was not in fact the biggest word in the world when my Mother told a boy who threw a gritty snow-ball in my face that he was an 'abomination'
2. I looked at the sky and realised the moon was outside the world
3. I was bought a pair of brown, fur lined Dr Martens and realised that having comfort is an essential part of my life
And there my development stopped -with the realisation that there are so many big words that I will never know; new facts which I find astounding (such as the moon not being held in the sky) are old news to everyone else and that people who crave comfort will always sit on the chair with the pin stuck in it.
Yet recently, I have been learning things anew; again, I understand and accept that these will be known truths to the rest of Humanity.
1. Being married with 6 children and a job is a very grown up thing to be and I, therefore am a grown up
2. I am both a hypocrite and contradiction
Both of the above are not enlightening statements to anyone but myself...but it is good to be aware of yourself I feel, and I think my next post will be about how much I dislike hypocrites!
