You never know what is round the corner....

Life has a strange habit of unravelling in front of me on a regular basis. I tend to get to a stage where I think this is it I have made it! ... and then out of the blue, with no warning and certainly with no preparation I find myself picking myself up, dusting myself down and confusingly asking myself "what the hell happened there?".

You see the funny thing about life (and I use the word funny very loosely) is that there is very little in life that you can actually count on. I mean who ever thought we would not be able to fly due to volcanic ash? Or that Princess Diana and Prince Charles would divorce? Or that the Cosby show would ever end? Or that I would be turning 33 and find myself single, living on my own in Jersey with two new kittens who my counsellor even described rather worryingly as "my family!". Don't get me wrong I love the new additions to my flat but to be honest even in my most deluded moments of speaking to them lovingly or cradling them like a baby when one fell down the toilet I never really believe them to be my children. I am not having to worry about leaving them on their own for fear the social services will find out nor am I planning on sending them to university... although mensa is a possibility for both of them!

And so life has thrown me another unexpected twist and I don't like it but somehow i'm living it. It's not what i planned nor is it what I expected but as the kittens fight with each other and my pyjama bottoms I can only think to myself maybe it's ok for now or at least until the next twist...
