what am I doing here?

Good morning, 

Hope you are all ready to start the day just think we are so close to the weekend.

I thought I better get this idea out there just to see if I am properly crazy or if it makes just a wee bit of sense.

I have wanted to write a book for a while, not an adult friendly book but a brilliant children's book.  Kids know what happens in the world, they even try to make this world seem like fun, and if it’s not to make it that way!  How blooming brilliant, why can’t we all stay kids?

Anyway I digress, I get easily distracted.  I had this idea when I got some new shoes.  Delighted you might think lovely lady getting some cool new shoes, but after a day walking around in my new shoes getting home all tired and taking them off to put on my super cozy slippers.  What do I see?  Not just one but two wee holes in my socks where my toes are trying to escape!  You see I didn't really take the time you should to make sure they were the right fit for me and I put them on so quick I didn't give them time to "break in" as my mum would say. This was the genius idea of a children's story came from, my own silly shoes.

I remembered having a certain pair of burgundy red shoes as a child that I loved and wore everywhere.  I wore them so much they started to get a bit tired and beginning to fall apart.  I was also growing and they may have gotten tighter as my feet grew but they were the best and I certainly didn't want to get rid of them.  That was until I had to get some new shoes for school!

I didn't want to go to school.  Why would anyone want to go to school?  I wanted to play all day, well maybe not on rainy days unless I was allowed to build a fort in my bedroom or in the living room (with parents permission) but why would shoes matter?  I was trying to play and discover things my way, no need for school or new shoes. 

Anyway back to the point I had an idea to write a book and see if anyone else had experienced these issues.  I thought it might be pretty interesting to see if they did or if they had found any better ways to solve such a pressing dilemma.
