Today I was a bit pissed off because I was bored. I walked up Shooters Hill to Welling, saw a rat and did a bit of food shopping. I was meant to go out this evening with my friend Toby but he was waiting for a mate of his to arrive from Spain. So nothing happened and I was tired and cold and feeling a bit sorry for myself. As I'm trying to rock Fran to sleep, I've just seen an advert featuring Lady Gaga. It occurred to me that as much as I crave adventure and excitement, Lady Gaga must have days where she's utterly bored of having to wear some costume and be witty or creative. I bet she has days where all she wants to do is sit down in front of the TV watching an old Derren Brown show, eating pickled onions while her child tries to chew on her extensions.
I bet Beyonce has those days too.
And I bet Robbie Williams is looking forward to it.
I am truly blessed to be a mother and every day is a miraculous discovery. But even the best of us have an 'off' day. Mine now continues with a child who has grown tired of my hair (and sleep, it seems) and is now having a good old moan while her father tries to appease her.
