The final chapter…….
Well it was a one hundredth entry that took me waaayyyyy over the 100 mark……
In the end working in a sex shop became too much. I have this belief that I shouldn’t hide anything from my son, including my line of work. Kids have this inbuilt desire to brag about their mummy and/or daddy working. I didn’t think this would happen for a few years….
Master three and a halfs carer pulled me aside one day when I went to pick him up. It seemed he had been telling all his little friends how his mummy sold penises as her job. It was a harmless comment made by him and I am sure his friends thought nothing of it. But I had visions of it being repeated at home to other parents and it all snowballing.
That was one reason why I left. The other was because they wouldn’t give me a permenant shop to manage cause I was a “single mother” and deemed unreliable. So with both of these thoughts in mind I applied to the company I am working for now. They liked my history and had no problem with the fact that I am a single mother and the rest, as they say, is history.
I loved my time working at the sex shops for the most part and sitting here now I can think of 100 more stories, each as funny as the last and others even more scary, like the serial robber that hit each of our stores….maybe oneday I might tell some more. In the meantime over the last few days while I have been writing these, I have missed writing for me. I have missed my little bitch sessions that I have in here and have missed talking about master three and a half and about my temple and I guess…just about life.
Those stories are a part of my life and made me who I am….and one day I cant wait to get the grand kids around me and tell them all about it and maybe more…or I might just tell them to go look at my OD. It seems everyday more and more little pieces of me are coming out…..maybe oneday you might see a whole.
Just another little piece of me……
P.S and as a post 100 entry thing I would just like to say thank you to Perfect_Circle, Blue_Adept, Skyflower, Neo(who has been absent of late with his new love, his new computer), Rimbaud (my fav poet*waves*, Earthsong(a new reader of mine and another amazing person)and just everyone that reads, leaves notes and keeps me coming back…you all make the net and OD even more worthwile than what it already is….*hugs* guys!!

I just want to say thank you for the last 15 minutes. I’ve been reading the last five entries and have to say you definitely have a way of retelling stories. I had such a laugh! I’m adding you to my favourites! 🙂

Yes, it would have been just slightly difficult explaining to the teacher who pulled you aside after class……”Well, in a way, I do sell penises.”
