Return of the Bag Lady……

Me with my friend Amanda where we are both looking glamorous and have no children attached to us!!!!!

This morning I’m off shopping with two of my Christian friends in Reading. I’m so excited to be let loose in the world without any children attached to my person. I’ve had an interesting week and I’m quite happy that it’s almost at an end………

Friday saw the beginning of the Alpha Course at Church and I’m delighted to say that there were several people who had decided to come along and “explore Christianity” at our Church. People from very different walks of life gathering to talk about Jesus is pretty exciting in my book. the frustrating thing for me is the fact that not everyone shares my love and passion for Jesus Christ though, but we can hope and pray!!!

I’ve decided to start sewing again in earnest next week as I’m fed up not actually making anything at the moment. Yes, it would be nice to have a job and earn money, however at the moment it’s not really an option as my girls are still so young and I need to be around for them.  It would also be nice to have enough money to have a “lady who does” coming in once a week again, as I’m not really the houseworky type.

I complained to my friend Sarah that my husband married this woman who liked fancy shoes, nice clothes, drinking wine and looking a bit glamourous now and again, and who worked in Financial Services, and he seems surprised now that I’m not very good at keeping the house tidy!!!  I was ranting about feeling like I’m supposed to be some sort of hybrid creature incorporating Dobby the House Elf and Mary (bloody) Poppins!!!!  She replied dryly that I’d just summed up “housewifery” in a nutshell!!!! Can you believe it?
