Girls Just Wanna Have Fun....

I am a mother...I adore being so, I am over 40, and that is pretty good at the moment but that is not the whole of me! I am also a woman. WHY???? Do my family think I should retire gracefully and never look at another man?

I had a 'Date' on Wednesday night with a gorgeous guy. I had met him for lunch a couple of weeks ago. Mr Hotelier was everything I wanted. Good looking, fun, a great conversationalist and a decent musician.

I arranged to meet him at his Hotel (right on the beach) and said I would find my own way as, unlike most women, I could map read. I had, had a bit of an early morning, having fun with The Princess Angelina and we enjoyed making cookies and home made chicken nuggets. I treated myself to a little siesta and prepared myself carefully for 'said date'.

I drove into Newquay and as time was short, had memorised the map, rather than printing it. I suppose I got within half a mile of his place and then became a victim of the Newquay one way system. I phoned him and he laughed at me, saying he would come and collect me. I was obviously a bit miffed at this and said I was not lost, just temporarily misplaced....fighting talk!

Whilst waiting for him my daughter rang me.

"Joshy wants to come home", she said.

My son had been staying with Ma and Pa over the school half term. Bloody typical, the one night that his mother wants to go out....etc...etc... Do children have a sixth sense about these things? As I was speaking to the daughter, Mr H arrives and opens my car door, asking if I am okay and what would I like to drink....perfect gentleman poise!

I, at this stage am thinking 'Dios Mios', do I actually have a private life?

My daughter then says (gleefully) "You are on a date aren't you Ma?" No point in denying it really! I drove behind Mr H for about three minutes and we arrived at his Hotel. He opens my car door, pulls my suitcase out and gives me a guided tour, showing me into a lovely room.

Mobile rings and it is The Mother Ship, it has taken the Daughter precisely three minutes to rat on me! I am so fed up!! Grrrr....

Right! She says...I am so not going to apologise for this! I had a wonderful evening......

NOTE ALL CHILDREN OF MINE AND OTHERS THAT ARE EASILY OFFENDED MAY LOOK AWAY NOW!

He was utterly beautiful and such a gentleman. We went out for a couple of drinks. talked and talked. Had lots of flirty fun together.

I enjoyed him, he enjoyed me and we did not sleep that night, just spending time giving pleasure to each other. We had a lot of hot fun and I will see him again. He is such a gorgeous man....and we were cool together the next morning.

By the way I did not abandon The Git, I managed to pick him up at the station (albeit with wobbly legs) and he had had a great time but missed his 'Ma'!

Perhaps I am not such a bad Mother.....

I do have a life beyond my children, I am a person as well as a parent.

Have fun out there.
