Wrigglebot had his weekly visit with his Yia Yia yesterday and I wasn’t called into work so I had a very relaxing day. I read a little then I had a nap- for two hours. Husband says that when a nap passes the one hour mark it is no longer a nap but a sleep. [...]
Yesterday I made dinner. It was edible, for everybody Wrigglebot included. Now I know to a lot of people this doesn’t seem like a big deal but I don’t cook. In fact this could quite possibly be the first dinner I have made all year. It was a Shepherd’s Pie except with veggies in it [...]
I find it really interesting to see at what stage people tell friends that they are pregnant. Some people tell before the urine is even dry on the test, others wait until there is no disguising their protruding belly. Me, myself, I think that I am somewhere in the middle. I can imagine it would [...]
Temperature is a constant struggle of mine. How do I know if Wrigglebot is warm, cold or just right? The nights have been getting cooler and I have been cold so I think that maybe Wrigglebot is cold. Husband, however, is always warm; so is Wrigglebot like me or like him? Language and communication can [...]
Wrigglebot had a swimming lesson on Saturday morning so Husband volunteered to take him seeing as he doesn’t usually get to go. I still had to go, it would be a bit much to expect Husband to coordinate changing Wrigglebot as well, so he did the swimming and I did the changing. I was astonished [...]
It is not often that I have a rant (at least not online anyway) so here is your warning, this is my rant for the month. I am sick of people complaining and always expecting more for themselves from the government. The budget recently came out and everybody pretty much got a slice of the [...]
Wrigglebot has just started swimming lessons. Now I think I have talked before about the very real possibility that I could become a stage mother so I am trying to keep my enthusiasm in check although Wrigglebot is terribly advanced. He loves it, he starts kicking his legs as soon as he sees his bathers [...]
Wrigglebot, my mother and I just went on a trip to visit my grandmother. Staying in a house with a grandmother and a great-grandmother I was struck at the lengths they would go to to amuse Wrigglebot. They truly have lost all dignity when it comes to what they would do to get a smile [...]
I don’t know how single mothers do it. Husband has been working late with an impending deadline leaving me to do all of the prebed routine, and everything else, with Wrigglebot. By about six when Wrigglebot begins getting ready for bed I am exhausted, he is exhausted and there are five things that need to [...]
Today is one of ‘those days.’ Those days when Wrigglebot is happy neither on the floor nor in my arms, neither in the car nor in his cot. When he cries if he loses sight of me and he cries if food is not ready quickly. One of those days when he is so tired [...]
