If

Life is a funny old thing, ups and downs along the way are to be expected.

Yesterday Mr F confirmed he is at risk of redundancy, we were expecting it.

I went to meet  Little Miss-ette from school, she walks a little of the way by herself.

She luckily avoided being run over, she walked into the road and a legendary woman driver stopped in time

We walked with a poor woman who screamed in shock,  I reassured both of them.

Once I got us home I cried in the kitchen.

 I went to training, I'm having a period, I notice the broken wing mirror Mr F told me about and remembered I forgot to phone the fire company because our new fire has a broken ignition.

It's life

During training I pulled out my compact and reapplied my lipstick

Let's deal with it

with sparkles

Phenomonal Woman - Maya Angelou (an exerpt)

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

If - Rudyard Kipling (an exerpt)

If you can keep your head when all about you   

    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,   

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

    But make allowance for their doubting too;   

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

Of course, I slightly disagree with 'don't look too good' but I know what he means!

There are worse things that can happen

Luckily everyone is fine

We take a deep breath and keep walking. There are no guarantee's in life, it's why I live as I do.  For as long as I am here I want to have a bloody good time.  When crap happens, it has to be dealt with and when I walk past two women most days to pick up my daughter, who like to look me up and down and stop talking to each other, I take no notice.  

'Or being hated, don’t give way to hating'

quite bloody right Rudyard!

I hope you are having a wonderful week, and I hope you don't mind my waffling on!

 and thank you for all of your lovely comments on my last post

you are all
