Gunshot Weddings

My best mate is soon to become one of my official MummyMates because she’s Preggers!!!!!  Yes Pregnant, Up the spout and I’m sooo excited.

Anyway, the problem is that she’s getting married in August.  She sent out invitations in March and is now incredibly worried that everyone is going to think that it was a Gunshot Wedding.

Would you be bothered?

Getting Your Groove Back Tip:

Personally, I think Gunshot Weddings are lovely.  The fact that the two people are doing what they deem as ‘the right thing’ for themselves and the baby, shows commitment through the rocky road ahead.  I have two friends who had gunshot weddings. She was a proper, ballooning, eight months preggers bride and looked absolutely lovely.

Moreover, nothing has meaning except for the meaning you give it.  It is what it is and if what people said about you could kill you, you’d be dead already.

Leaving a Toxic Relationship

Are you a teenager struggling to leave a toxic relationship?

Getting Your Groove Back Tip:

Get to know the initial trigger/s that makes you keep going back and hallucinating about how things, could be.

Is it when you see him or is it when you hear his voice?  Or is it the moments when he touches you a particular way?

One of my Mates who’s stuck in a ‘married man’ situation said,

‘It’s when he kisses me on my forehead.  The blooming kiss my forehead and it’s all over.”

So, if it’s when you see him, avoid visual contact until your in a better place.

If it’s when when you hear his voice, at that very same moment that his name pops up on your phone, think back to a time when you felt in control. Anytime.  Doesn’t have to be specific to him. Then when the phone rings and his name pops up, relive the memory of when you felt in control and automatically the new feelings of control will kick in, superseding your weak moment. This will miraculously give you the power to ignore the phone call.

Remember, your thoughts affect your feelings and how you feel affects your actions.

And most importantly, STOP BLOOMING HULLUCINATING. If he’s failed to treat you right over the last how many months, he’s hardly gonna start treating you right now.

Feeling Guilty

Because I didn’t have a clean PAIR of socks for Max.  Got a big box of odds and sods ones, but not a matching pair in sight.  So he had to wear the grubby pair he had on yesterday.  They were black, so the dirt wouldn’t show.  My usual act of putting on two similar looking ones wasn’t going to crack it today  because he was going to a party in a soft ball cage where they have to take their shoes off.

Bad Mummy.  Bad grubby Mummy.

Getting your Groove Back Tip:

Forget about it.  No kids ever died from wearing dirty socks before.

Lonely Waiting for Mr Right?

Are you waiting for Mr Right to come knocking your door?

 Getting Your Groove Back Tip:

Get a blooming Life! Putting your happiness on hold or thinking that your happiness can and will only come through a man is pretty sad.

Think of the kind of hobby you would imagine the man of your dreams would be doing. Then, if for example, that is Golf, subconsciously, it’s something you would like to do.  So got get some golf lessons.  Get a book or DVD on golf.  Look up golfing on the Internet or go absorb that big massive brain of yours with redecorating of volunteering for a couple of hours a week for a charity.  

They come when your not looking.

Like they say, its when your not looking that the man of your dreams comes along. Moreover, the more options/opportunities you have to meeting someone new, the more you increase the likelihood of meeting someone.

Not only could you very well meet the said man of your dreams at your golf sessions, at least when you do meet someone and they ask you what you do in your spare time, you’ll be a whole lot more interesting to talk to!
