Mid Life Crisis!

Ok, so I have turned 40, and have had some major changes happen in the space of a short time, even hair growing in wrong places, and like I said before, my body is betraying me....like all things, wearing out, slowing down etc.


So with the "number 40" has brought some issues to deal through.


Kids going back to school, finding time for myself, recovering from surgery and preparing for 2 more surgeries this year.


And decisions to be made daily....like


Should I wear my shirt open with a medallion hanging down so my hairy chest can be seen by all, that way people can identify that I am going through my midlife issues?


NO?


Hmmmmm, ok, so hairy chest should not be shown.....


How about finding my identity in a new car?


Bless my DH (dear husband) he is allowing me to indulge a little knowing that I am taking time to nurture myself after years of service to my family.....time that I have spent nurturing others and rarely myself...


So when I came home and said "our kids are older" and "we no longer need a large family car" he said "go for it" :)  (thanks love)


Oh Yes!  That sounds much better.


So armed with my paperwork I swapped my 7 seater family mover, to a zippy "stella mobile" and of course its red!


I am red, red is me!  Stella is me, stella is red!  Enough said!


So now instead I now have a car that I picked, the colour I want and its my very own, I am no longer identified as the mum with the people mover, but Kelly in the Stella mobile!

It's a nice feeling gaining your identity back after years of losing yourself in your responsibilities.....


Responsibilities are still there, but mindsets are changed now that life is getting somewhat easier!


So this little indulgence will be my rebellion of mid life!  I am Kelly hear me ROAR!  No need to find a new man (love you honey)....no need to get a face lift....no need to buy jewellery or tweak my hairy body!  No, I will hold my head up proudly as I am driving in my stella mobile, with all my buttons done up!
