Ooh Headfairy Lolly's been up to that one, chewing on the laptop wire. . . but usually when I leave the room and DH or someone else is in here (meant to be watching her ) despite not being able to crawl, or even move properly! We're now just making sure the wires are tucked out of the way.
Poor Luca, is it something in the air that these babes are aiming for getting bruises and such like?
MrsBB I'm proud of you for doing any amount of sewing! Most people would just have chucked the lion top out I think, especially if you're not continuously sewing like I am, that anything is an achievement. I only find it easy to do things like this because I spent 3 years teaching myself how to do it, most people can do it in 2!
Poor little guy, it breaks your heart when you realise you've had a go at them when they're in pain doesn't it? I've done it a few times to both my girls (although DD1 is old enough now to let me know right away what the problem is, but even then, doesn't go on and on about it).
Well, today was another driving lesson and, despite my high marks, I can't help feeling quite low about things, I just don't think I'm doing very well really, my instructor spent quite a lot of time today telling me what I'd done wrong and stopped the car a couple of times to correct me on things, or spent the drive home asking me where I was going/what I was looking at etc There is not enough chocolate in the house for the way I'm feeling now. . . ho-hum I can now concentrate on the excitement of the ball on Friday now! Only 2 days to go. . .
I'm sure the lead up is more exciting than the actual event in most cases but I'm really looking forward to meeting loads of people that I don't know! However I am not looking forward to the way I will inevitably feel the next day and will then have to go on the hen night that evening too Oh and did I mention my friend that I'm attending the ball with is wanting to go to Stonehenge for the Solstice after the ball too, so that's me up all night and the early hours of the morning, returning home, sleeping all day Saturday (yeah, right! How likely do we think that will be?!!) and then to spend the evening watching my friend and a load of her friends/fiancee's sister's (chavs!!) getting drunk and lairy and coming onto whoever is in the immediate vicinity (I shall be watching from a distance then!!)
Another little update on things my way. . . wait for it, you'll love this!. . . the girl's and I may be moving out.
(waits for gasps)
It's my idea entirely and DH hasn't yet agreed to it but we are definitely looking into it for the very near future. It would be more to ease the monetary situation (and our relationship) than anything else. Simple fact is we, as a family, would cope better if we, as a couple, were living separately! I've looked into it and we would be so much better off, we wouldn't have the worries that we are facing every month and DH's overdraft can't take much more dipping into (mine being completely spent now and not looking good for the future as I've not got any income to pay it back with!), so this could be the solution.
It's not just the money thing though, I've been finding it difficult coping with the house knowing full well that there's a grown man who could be helping out more but, also knowing, that he'd only spend the whole time huffing and puffing at me if I dared to ask him, and him (obviously) feeling that I'm at home all day so I should be able to cope with things etc etc the endless argument between the SAHM and the working father blah blah blah!
I must admit to not being the easiest person to live with but, let's face it, it's not like we jumped into moving in together and having kids or anything, we lived together with his parents, moved into our own home and then 2 years later got married, then had children. We knew each other pretty well when DD1 was born (bet even then I will argue til the day I die that I was living with someone totally different to the person he is now).
He finds the simplest of things difficult (like loading the dishwasher) despite us now having had the thing for well over a year!!
Ho-hum, things will work out when we know where we're going, it'll just take a bit of a cafuffle and then we can settle into a new routine instead.
If/when we do move out though you will probably be hearing a lot less of me on here as the laptop/router etc is his and it'll just be easier for it to stay here, although I will probably get withdrawal symptoms on the first night without it and get straight onto a broadband set up the very next day Ooh I loves me interweb!
