Think a quick intro is in order.........
I am.....
an older mother of a teenager
a single mother
a sometimes tired mother
a sometimes reluctant mother
a proud mother
a happy mother
a 'different' mother ...............
Once you become a mother, you are known as 'X's mother'. It's not good, it's not bad, it just is ! So going with the flow I desribe myself in 'motherly' terms
The other day an ola driver called me 'maaji'. Now I've been called 'aunty' for a few years now, but this really stopped me in my tracks.
Many years ago I stopped dying my hair, it's just too much effort and life is too short, and having very 'snowy' jeans I am pretty grey. Also being 55 I am pretty wrinkly. If anyone has seen Ally Mcbeal, when I say I have a 'sexy wattle' (as far as Richard Fish is concerned) you will know what I mean. In addition to that I am voluptuous to say the least, and the less said about that the better.........but still 'Maaji' ??? Lordy lord, something had to be done.
So I whisked myself off the the hairdressers and asked to go purple ! Nope, they only had green and red, so I opted for red dodgy streaks and this is the result. It will only last a month I've been told sooooo either I'll go back 'au natural' or go for purple. Time will tell
Why blog ? why not ? I thought.
So here are the mutterings and musings of 'A maaji with attitude' with a big thank-you to the ola cabbie who got me blogging. We shall see how long it lasts (it is my second attempt !)
Enjoy ! (or not)
