I love that you call your mom every day…I hope I am as lucky with my 3 boys

Ok, about me:

1.) I was dropped face-first onto an open bar heater when I was 6mths old. My eyes fell between the bars saving my sight. I had a huge ‘H’ burn across my forehead and two long bar burns down each cheek, but nothing is really noticeable now (although the cheek ones were when I was in primary school).

2.) I have been protesting starting to do photography professionally but in reality, deep down, it would be wonderful. I just lack confidence in my ability and think it might be seen as ’slacking off’ after studying for so long to be a vet.

3.) I am quite superficial in my knowledge. I was brought up very conditionally and therefore only learnt whatever I had to in order to make As. I think I went to study vet science in order to prove to myself I could ‘do’ science after being so arts-focused my whole life.

4.) Never, ever in my life did I think I’d enjoy being a SAHM. But I love it! I just love watching Harry learn new things daily and couldn’t bring myself to let someone else have those memories by putting her in any sort of care. I am selfish about her!

5.) I am HUGELY judgmental. :o( It is definitely my biggest flaw that I try very, very hard to stay on top of. But when I see mothers feeding their 3 day old babies formula (which I did today) I just get so angry and even though she may have had a compeletely reasonable reason for it I cannot shake the idea that I want to slap it out of her hand and shove her breast in the baby’s mouth. As I said, I am working on it.

6.) One of my better qualities is that I am very easy to talk to and know that I have a gift to make other people feel at ease. Don’t know if it was being brought up in a very unorthodox household with many moves, 14 primary schools and 3 high schools but I generally have people gravitate to me in a group. And I am definitely energised by being with groups of people.

7.) I miss my pre-pregnancy breasts. :o(

8.) I don’t talk to my mother at all (in direct contrast to you Arun!). It’s a long story but I am sick of people I tell that to who say “What a shame”, when in fact it is a complete blessing and a breath of fresh air. :o)

Ok, now off to do one for Harry on the blog!

Cheers, Cass
ps - Arun yours were much more interesting. ;o)
