Linda’s SoCS prompt.
Your prompt for #JusJoJan the 14th and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “once upon a time.” Start your post with “Once upon a time,” then write whatever comes to you, whether it be fact or fiction. Have fun!
Once upon a time, there was a middle-aged woman who never had any time to herself.
What with work and life at home, answering to the whims of teenagers, and her third child, sorry, husband, as well as those of the wider family, and not forgetting the cat, she never had any time to herself.
The hours would slip away, and another day would pass when she hadn’t been able to engage in her own passions.
But on the days she could carve time out for herself, it was wonderful. She’d go to sleep tired but content.
I wish I could write that something magical happened and end with ‘she lived happily ever after‘, but it’s not quite a fairy tale as it’s my life, and probably that of many, many other women out there!
But not to say it’s a sad ending, because I am happy and I’m still here, so it’s not The End!
But I Smile Anyway...
