Yes, it feels like it’s been far too long but I’m back at my blog now, ready to bring you up-to-speed with what’s been going on in my life! That’s if I can remember – there’s been so much going on! The business ‘journey’ is turning into a real rollercoaster ride, as more and more players move into the territory that Mummo should have been inhabiting months ago … and money gets tighter and tighter! To say I’m frustrated would be an understatement. It’s times like these when I realise what a control freak I must be. I’m far more comfortable when I can do it all myself and don’t have to rely on anyone else. I suppose I should have thought about that before and gone into something I actually knew something about! Still, I’m certainly learning new skills – like trust, patience and self-restraint!
It’s tempting to think about giving it all up. After all, why give myself the hassle? I quite fancy spending what money I’ve got left on a camper van, taking the children and spending a few months meandering around the world hippie-style! Perhaps I could write a book – ‘Barefoot and barking: a mother’s trip to insanity and back’?! Or video the whole thing? You know what, there’s an idea!
And, just as I’m getting carried away on a flight of fancy, that’s when I realise the power of parenthood. Your children can’t really just be an experiment … or can they? Perhaps that’s exactly how it should be? After all, when I stop and think about it, I feel like I’m experimenting the whole time, trying to find the most effective tactics, the best path through life … How about you?
Ooops, another stream-of-consciousness ramble! I’m going to stop now and try a new tactic for my next blog post. Time for a change!
