Hello,
Well the exciting news is that we have finally moved into our new home. I now also refuse to move again unless one or both of the following happen- I get a once in a life time job offer; or Mike gets me pregnant. I can safely say the second option will only happen if I bribe and drug Mike… Which I won’t obviously because one child is currently more than enough. Saying that, would people mind not having gorgeous baby girls all around me? It’s utter torture. Or at least have the decency to swap them for Jake.
Ah Jake. This morning, after discovering that I was only going to be working three times a week and all would be evening shifts, I quickly rang the nursery informing them that they won’t need to charge me for this week as Jake would not be attending. I though to myself you lucky, old bag, it would be like practising for the long 6 week summer holidays. Within roughly… Five seconds I regretted my decision to keep him with me. What a bitch hey? The thing is that you can’t see inside my house. And currently, it looks like the 17 year old former self collected all the former ‘crap’ she use to horde and casually dumped it. Everywhere. Along with all the crap that comes with having a two year old, rather hyper active boy.
But I thought to myself, no you cannot moan. You’re the lucky one, being free to enjoy this weather (sorry I’ve potentially just jinxed it) you have your son, so do what you can in the morning and then go out into the beautiful sunshine. Bollocks is what came to mind. You can’t sort out a house when your delightful baby wants to watch every DVD you own. You certainly can’t take items upstairs when that said child wants to go run around the very small, not properly enclosed, shared patio area outside, because lets face it, that’s just stupid.
I calmly made lasagne for Mike ready for when he came home, (I say home but I mean my home because you know… That step hasn’t taken place yet…) but Jake had other ideas. He wanted to watch postman Pat, who by the way now delivers your mail in a variety of different vehicles and also owns an iPhone.
I feel old today. I need ideas for activities to do with a two year old that will not break the bank, and are more exciting than going to the park. Please advise accordingly.
I’m going to sleep. Hope you have managed to enjoy some of this wonderful sunshine.
