Filling in some blanks

BEFORE

AFTER

Many thanks to http://shemeanswellbut.blogspot.com/2011/03/filling-in-some-blanks.html for tagging me in a blog post. This is a Fill in the Blanks Meme so here we go.....

I am....
me, a stroppy individual at times who takes great offence when midwives are insulted. I was recently described as being very 'forthright' in expressing my opinion and as my husband says I never seem to take a step backwards. If I am your friend I am fiercely loyal and will do anything for you.

The bravest thing I've ever done...
Well it is a very long and tortuous story but it was giving up on a custody battle with my son 11yrs ago because at the age of 5 he didn't want to be with me. He only wanted to be with his dad and my ex in laws. I was in too much of a mess and far too hurt to go through what would have become a very ugly battle. In some ways it was easier to walk away and in others it was the hardest thing I ever did. Not a day goes by when I don't wonder.

I feel prettiest when.....
Oh God I just don't know that the word pretty and I go together in the same sentence!

My favourite meal is......
Actually now it is anything that I can get down comfortably without feeling nauseous and which doesn't get stuck. My life used to revolve around food but now I could go a day without eating and often after I have eaten something I wish I hadn't.

The way to my heart is...
Make me laugh be a good person, stand up for what you believe in and be there when needed. Oh and be trustworthy.

I would like to be.....
At peace with myself, be a better mum, be a better wife, be a better researcher and maybe one day be a midwifery lecturer!
