I'm thinking about changing my surname back to my original one...
Earlier this year would have been my 15th Wedding Anniversary (Crystal for anyone wondering!), had I stayed married. I was of course a child bride :D
I haven't been married for 12 years! (Silk, coulda bought myself some silky lingerie had it been a celebration!)
However I kept the surname. I felt it would make things easier as my daughter went to School etc, having the same surname. Which to be fair it did. However her dad got re-married a while ago and it started to feel weird having the same name....although not weird enough to do anything about it.
Today at the School of my youngest two I got called 'Mrs Oates', which kinda creeped me out a bit. a) that's not my name (cue the Ting Tings) and b) I'm no longer with their Father so never will be 'Mrs Oates'! It made me think it would be nice to have my maiden name back....Maiden! Ha! quickly heading for Crone more like :D
More awkwardly the Daughter of said ex-husband is in the same class as my Son...We get along fine, so no issues there, just if i'm signing stuff will they get the right Mum??
But then I guess i'll always be 'Mrs Oates' to the School....because thats the kids' name.
Plus I still have 4 years on my passport and i'm too stingy to go changing that! :D
And 4 years down the line I might even be married to someone else and have a completely different name!
Sod it....I'll stick with it a while longer :D
Love,
Paula xx
