One Single Duck!

So I am still single and have been for a good while now. Why? I am not too sure, just haven't found the right guy yet i guess. My dad and a lot of my friends tell me I need to go out more and put myself out there. They are probably right but I think I am living in dream land sometimes. I still like to think that the right man will fall onto my lap but the chances are I will probably be the one to do all the falling, literally!

I know I have not been actively trying to find Mr Right but does Mr Right really exist? I believe it's probably, no actually I believe it's definitely a lot harder for someone with a disability to find love. I would like to think that, that's not true but in most cases I believe that it is.

Watch this video below, it is funny but it is so true because most guys want to find Mrs Perfect!

I saw this clip on the TV about a year or two ago and it was like watching myself in a mirror, kinda!! I laugh at this video, I really do because it is funny and because that guy will never live this down but it also hits home with me. It makes me wonder, is this why I am still single??
I know my walk is not that bad but still, does this happen to me when I am out and about?? I mean to look at me sitting down I am fairly normal and pretty good looking (I like to think so anyway) but when I stand up to walk I am lets say....unusual! I think it safe to say that when I walk, I walk a bit like a duck! I have even been told that I do, by more than one moron of a person! Am I ashamed about the way I walk? NO! How can I be? I can walk and that should be all that matters.
However the question lingers, do I scare men off in this way? By the way that I walk? Because I have a disability? I like to hope not but maybe this video is proof that I do. Perhaps this is exactly what happens to me when I am out and about. Would I have more of a chance at finding love if I was sitting in a wheel chair? Some of my close male friends have told me that my disability doesn't make any difference and what scares most guys off more is that I have a child. Do I believe this, kinda but kinda not!

I know I will find the right person for me one day (sooner rather then later though, please). I will make an effort to put myself out there more. My little man is even helping me. He is on Husband watch at the moment! He has been checking out the men down the street, "Mum is that him there? Is that your Husband? Hmmm, No I would prefer someone without grey hair but keep looking"!
I tell you what though, when Mr Right does come along he will be one very special person especially to take on a sexy duck waddling chick!!!!! HA HA
I'll shall keep you all posted for when Mr Right knocks on my door but until then I shall enjoy being single!!!!

What gets you up in the morning??

I could easily not get up in the morning and hide away from the world! I could very easily give up and become extremely depressed if I wanted to. Let everything get to me! I have some way better reasons then others out there I think. But you know what, I choose not to. I choose not to let things get on top of me. Yes I have my days but so does everyone, rarely though will you hear me complain about the pain I might be in, or the frustration that I go through. Why you might ask? Because I have way too much to look forward to and I have amazing people in my life that help me everyday. It could be the smallest thing they do, or something they say to me but every little bit helps.

My lil man is just the most amazing thing that ever happened to me and I have to be one of the luckiest Mums in the world. He tells me almost everyday that I am amazing and special! And every night I let him know that he is my hero! How can one little person bring you so much happiness? I am so very lucky to have him in my life.
He cares for me and loves me so much that he worries about me. Like this morning, he woke up crying his little eyes out. When I asked what was wrong he said "Mum I had a bad dream. What was it about? It was about you Mum, We were trying to get the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and you fell over. You fell  over and got hurt but I picked you up and carried you away. So you saved me then? Yes Mum I did but I was so worried about you, I am always worried about you Mum because I love you!!!" (I believe the reason behind this dream was due to me falling yesterday, I fell and hurt my wrist but not badly).  But honestly how can you become depressed or sad when you have someone who care for you and loves you so much. I don't think you can!

My lil man is not the only person that helps me get up in the morning and keeps me going. My Parents are amazing too. We do have our moments like all children do with their parents but I am so extremely grateful to have the parents that I do. They help me out so much with things, not only around the house but life in general. I can talk to them about almost anything and can ask them for help when I need it, yes sometimes they do not understand my frustrations and in turn get just as frustrated with me. I know they can get very frustrated when they can see that I need help with something but I don't ask for the help (I can be pretty stubborn with things like that because it's hard to admit that you need help but I am learning). When I do ask though, they will do all that they can to help me. But it's not just the help and advise they give me but it's the small things too. For instance we were at my cousins wedding recently when my Mum told me she wanted to request a song for me "girl your amazing" by Bruno Mars. At the time I didn't really get why but I now listen to that song and feel pretty special and pretty good about myself, but I just need to learn not to cry when I am listening to it!! Why do I cry? Because if you listen to the words and know that someone thinks about you that way, yes some of the words are for a boy to a girl but you can't help but feel terrific and amazing!

So why do I get up every morning? Why don't I give up? Because who wouldn't when they have the most amazing family and friends!! When even on your down days they are there for you no matter what to give you encouragement and help with all that they can. Me, I love getting up in the morning!!  

Love you all. xoxoxoxo
