I have had the best Christmas of my whole life. Spending so much time with my gorgeous little ginger princess has been amazing. She is the child I thought I would never have. Thank you medical science. Ten years previously and I might not have ever been a Mum as my thick blood condition has only recently been discovered. An aspirin a day and injecting myself with blood thinners throughout my pregnancy kept Charlotte alive. I pray for my three babies in heaven and feel truly blessed and grateful for what I have.
This year I have made some resolutions. I will return to Slimming world, I will stop swearing, I will refrain from taking the Lord's name in vain, I will moan less at Ben and I will not laugh at fatties, thickies, spurs fans, people from Wales and Thornton Heath. I laugh at myself for being a chubster and I am not the sharpest tool in the box, but I must be patient with people and not get annoyed quickly by bad drivers etc! That is difficult when I drive through Purley Cross at least once a week, but I will try my best.
How funny that I start the new year with a period. They are still like clockwork, every four weeks but I tend to ache a lot more and the mood swings are pretty bad! PMT at its best! I already experienced a dose of the menopause when I had IVF. I wonder if that will bring forward the real thing as I used quite a lot of my eggs! Mmmm, I will have to research that one!
My friend Mandy when out on New Years Eve with her 18 year old daughter. When Charlotte is 18, I will be pushing 60 and be a complete embarrassment. I would like to be a bit like Mrs Doubtfire, a sweet little old granny, but I will probably be a less foxy and fatty version of Maddona, still strutting my stuff! That is of course if we get that far, because of course the world is due to end in December 2012, it even said so in the Sun so it must be true.
Well, Happy New Year everyone. Happy Menopause if your time has come. My last resolution is to share my blog and write it on a more regular basis!
