Single Happy Mum

I had this great thought today. I reckon I could come up with 100 reasons as to what makes me a Happy Single Mum. So I am going to post a new reason each day I post for 100 days. Mmm.....Interesting.

....and Exciting.

..and it begins!

Reason Number 1 ............................


Trivial, but you have to admit really good. "I get full control of the main TV without having to sit through something I really don't want to watch. If I want to watch a dvd at ten o'clock at night I can. If  I want to watch every episode of Masterchef, So you think you can dance, Australian Idol, The Amazing Race and every other reality show going, I can without the whineing. I love it!!!

My baby ( he's 11) is running in the Cross Country tommorrow. I'll let you know how he goes. Last year when he went in it he only got half way around as his feet were in pain. He now wears orthotics all the time and doesn't have any trouble anymore so we'll see how he goes. He's very excited. I'm so disappointed I won't be there to watch though. I will be at work.
..........well, at least I won't be there getting all welled up as I so soppingly do when my kids do things. Can't help it. I'm one of those mums that stand at the fenceline of school waving to the bus with tears in my eyes as I watch my child go off to camp. (Then you make a wild dash for the car smiling in understanding at any other soppy mums there doing exactly the same. ) You gotta just love yourself for it though, cos we'll never change. What can I say- we're mums!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my baby at last years cross country before he ran. (Lucky the photo was taken first as he was too upset with himself and is feet afterwards )
