M.N.O. and P……abc theme.

Well, this is the 2nd attempt to do the next 4 letters in my alphabet. I had the beginning of M written last night and lost it. Could not find it in drafts so expect it is floating around the ether looking for somewhere to land.

So here goes……

M

Mums/Mams/Mammys/Mother/Ma…

I am sure there are other names. We all have one and I am sure the majority think that your mum is the best. All mums are the best or they should be.

Now I must try to remember what I wrote last night and lost. I first became a  mum way back in the summer of 1976 that very hot summer….while pregnant I had visions of a baby lying in his pram on the patio with a cool breeze…….the reality it was so hot he was laid naked on a nappy in a darkened room….just to keep him comfortable. Another time had given him stewed prunes for dessert and for tea stewed apples and panic phone calls to the health visitor when nasty nappies started to appear. By the time my other two children were born, I hopefully did not make as many mistakes……but son no1 remembers be giving son no 3 a haircut and snipping his ear!!!.

I am proud to be the mum of 3 adult children…..loved unconditionally and equal.

N

This is hard as even as I type I am trying to think of something……so what can I put…..
I love NUTS…

Brazil, peanuts, almonds…….. won’t like peanut   butter…but I will eat a Reese chocolate

O

Oranges

These were for two of my pregnancies …cut in half, sprinkled with sugar and slurped. For the first pregnancy……I wanted pomegranates but it was the wrong time of the year so I made do with grapes. Then when I was able to get a pomegranate…I made me sick with them.

O…..is also for “old people” and for 11 years I was a health care assistant at our local hospital . I am fastly approaching being an old person myself fand actually finding that very hard to accept. I have never forgotten a lot of my patients and never will. Can still remember some names of the first patients I nursed.

P.

Last in this blog. P stands for penpals which I have written in an earlier blog so to start with P….people watching…..a thing that we all do….you wonder what is going on in their lives….people who don’t “see” you and expect you to be the one to move. People who think they are better than you. They are not. You are as good as you can be and at the end of your life you are all the same
