Introduction to Mums DomainWe all know what Mums are: otherwise none of us would be here to read this In some Countries they are spelt "Mums" and in other Countries they are spelt "Moms" but they all do exactly the same thing. That is, they bear children and then care about them for the rest of their lives. Even when they grow up and move away from home (or not) Mothers still care about their children. In some instances, the kids leave home and then return. I call these the "Boomerang" kids. They go and then come back ~ just like a boomerang. Which as you may know, is an Australian term and is what our Australian Aborigines used to use to kill their food or enemies. If it didn't hit anything, the boomerang was thrown in such a way that it returned to the sender. This, of course, used to save them a lot of walking. However, I digress. Domain is an interesting word. To me, it's always seemed like a castle or a Lions den. The place where I am Queen (as long as my now-grown up family will let me be) and 'reign' benignly for the well being of all my family~ both home and away. But I 'rule' with a silk glove filled with polyester fibre so I don't hurt anyone. But don't mistake any weakness here. Mother's are strong because they have to be to survive their children's adolscent years. The concise Oxford Dictionary defines domain as: "domain, n. Estate, lands,dominions;district under rule, realm, sphere of influence; scope, field, province, of thought or action; (international & US law) Eminent Domain, lordship or soverign power over all property in state, with right of expropriation" So now we know that "Mums Domain" is an eminent domain, a province and a sphere of influence. Our scope is wide and varied and it's our own province.
