Hi all,
Am just sitting down to a sensible lunch (salami cheese tomato sandwich, yoghurt, apple) and MN with DS tucked up in bed - feel v smug [frantic knocking on wood emoticon]. Morning has gone like textbook, even managed to get some housework done. I realise this means it will all fall to pieces this afternoon, but I don't care because it's sunny and if I need to, I will put DS in his pram in the shed and potter about the vege patch decimating the carrot seedlings until it gets better.
I need to eat more fruit. I buy it, but don't eat it. Which is Stupid and Wasteful and I really need to get into a habit of picking it up instead of relying on toast/bread which is what I do at the moment. I just get so hungry, it feels like nothing will fill me enough unless it involves a couple of slices of bread. Any suggestions for sneaking it into my diet (by which i mean normal eating - not slimming attempt). Do solero's count?
Denny your meal out sounds bliss, congratulations. I really need to start thinking about finding a babysitter (how?)
TMP - rolling sounds like fun. DS makes 'I want to crawl' actions when he's on his playmat on his tum..it's really funny he tries so hard and sometimes gets enough traction with his feet to shove his back half forward a bit, but can't move the front so ends up more and more firmly faceplanted into the mat. He makes very determined noises and rests then has another go. I try not to rescue him too much but eventually it all gets too much for him & he gives a shout to be turned over again.
Meet up was great - Scampmum obviosly has heroes-cheerleader like regenerative powers because she looked fresher than most of us and had both DCs with her. All the babies were excellently behaved and so were we - no stabbing each other with our cake forks or flinging of eggs benedict ;)
BTW we have some money left over to go into the kitty for the next one. Picnic/park sounds like a good idea - off the top of my head, could use the green space next to the London Eye, just down from London Aquarium & on the river. That's probably still pretty easy to get to and has potential for more Day Out activities before or after for those travelling from further way.
Niceychops. You are Bonkers with a capital B. Good luck though. I am jealous. Plus you might actually have sex, of which I am also jealous but not enough to make any advances to OH who seems to think that morning sex is still on the menu..yes that exactly what I want after being up changing nappies, then breastfeeding, then expressing all before 6:30.
nope that rant isn't over...why does it not occur to him that just possibly if he came to bed a bit earlier, i.e. when I went to bed after settling DS, then we might get some sack action.. But no, he always stayed up watching crap or playing games on the PC and god forbid HIS daily schedule should shift slightly. I expect he thinks he's being sensitive waiting for me to make a move on him but he'll be waiting forever if he keeps staying up so late that I'm in the land of zz by the time he makes it up the stairs.
ok. I think I'm done now.
