The Characters

Me

Me, a random 30 year old that has experienced more life than any human should probably experience, still overcoming a traumatic childhood and trying to make a real go of this lifetime that I have.  An instant mother figure to two incredible angels who is learning to cook real quick, clumsy as hell on toast and then some… who am I, only time will tell and perhaps we both will know when I hit the big nine oh!

Fairy Godmother aka FGM

A friend of centuries, wise, funny and know it of all.  She is the one I contact in pure panic when my food is yet again charcoaled not char-grilled, calms me when I want to commit murder or pulls me by the neck when I want to run the world marathon of “WTF”.   Just to warn you though, this one has the smelliest toes of all to the point that they’ve been named the Petunas but have no smelling reference to petunias honest, ask my nosebuds!  Scarily she wiggles them when she’s mad, not a pleasant experience can tell you! 

An unlikely duo to some but stuck like glue much like a piece of gum on your shoe with a depth of understanding and friendship that is both rare and a cherished gift.  We get through things together and more often than not she wants to slap me over the head but I’m too fast a runner for her to catch me…

Jude Law

Not kidding, this man of mine looks like a stunt double with glasses, the sexiest smile and one of the most contagious laugh’s you have ever heard.  Unexpected, undreamt of and totally out of the blue… Me a once very happily single girl suddenly meets man with brain and understanding of soul. Yip he even knows what star sign he is *grins* 

A single father who got custody of his two angels, learning to be nurturing and doing a better job than he thinks, loving, warm and open with a big touch of adrenalin junky.

Littlefoot

A little 7 year old who is about to turn 8, abandoned by his mother at the tender age of 2 and a half, he has had more life experience than a little tyke should.  The son of Jude who refuses to eat cooked veggies, farts loud in public and makes sure you know about it, insecure with a whole bag of emotional wounds, lovable and adorable, clever as a button and most of all a typical boy yet not. 

This will never be a football rugby cricket mad kind of man but one thing is for sure there’s trouble coming when once the girls find him out!  The poor kid though is still frustrated at my lack of Star Wars knowledge or excitement… am learning to fake real quick!

Belle

Well it all depends on the day, I have never met a human being let alone a 5 year old with as many dresses as this little one, the daughter of Jude, a little princess.  Growing up in a house with just her Papa and older brother has toughened her and she has no problems kicking off her heals, pulling up her princess dress and comparing farts, admiring lego or discussing star wars. 

A little girl with a big heart, lovable and adorable, this one is always happy laughing away at the world with the true air of a Sagittarian.  One thing can be said though, its easy to buy her birthday presents – plush toys or princess dresses, everything else is discarded!  Heaven help us when she’s in her teens!

Cruella

The kids mother and a real nut job of note and I don’t say that lightly.  A clean freak who counts a sanitized house filled with organic products more important than the emotional welfare of her two angels.   She has limited understanding of why Littlefoot is so angry with her or why he acts out, why no one just loves her or… about Jude and I…

She wants him back although married to another man, lives in a different country (thank gawd) and only visits for school holidays.  This one is the true Naomi Campbell, the newspapers have gotten them confused!!!
