for the first time in 20 years i drove the car without someone holding my hand. i had a few refresher lessons a couple of months ago and i've been doing a bit of short-route driving with the cg but today is the first time that i've been in the car with only G for company. i was nervous but not nearly as nervous as i thought i would be. i'm pretty damn proud of myself right now! i have lots of mummy friends and i really enjoy spending time with them but sometimes i feel a little bit left out because i'm not an avid tv watcher (i barely watch tv at all any more) and i don't know who is doing what on various reality tv shows. in fact, after spending 7 years in canada, i'm still not sure who half the people are on english tv. obviously, i'm not going to force myself to watch crap just to fit in but it would be nice to meet people more like me (or would it??!). G is developing like crazy at the moment. i'm pretty sure another tooth is going to show up any day, she's crawling (but only backwards) and she seems very keen to start walking (it's hard to make her sit down any more - she just plants her feet and looks very pleased with herself for staying vertical). i love spending time with her and, although it's going to be strange when all my mummy friends go back to work and i begin my life as a SAHM (another thing that sets me apart from my friends), i'm glad that our time together isn't going to diminish, at least for a while. PS did i mention that i drove the car...i drove the car!!!! | << >> |
