Heyyy yooooo!
Day 2 and Baby Bel woke me at 6:40am. I really don’t do mornings very well at all! She originally woke up at 4:15am but I just brought her into bed with me and we enjoyed snuggles and a couple more hours snoozing. I am blessed really… that is early but at least its fairly reasonable still… we’ll see what tomorrow brings.
Today’s Top 4 To Do’s…
- Sort out the back log of rubbish and recycling… I’m sure there are people living here that I haven’t met yet with the amount of rubbish and washing there is constantly!
- Tidy up my own room (my plan was to do this when Miss Bel was having a nap but that was not to be so I ended up doing just a quick clean after she went to bed)
- This one it was a tie between the washing and cleaning the fridge out… The fridge was the most desperate so that gone and quite a bit of the washing got done too… thanks to a nose bleed from Little Miss that forced the bedding to have to be stripped down and washed.
- Blog 2….
I promised myself a couple of things for while Mat was away… 1) To do what I can and not beat myself up for what doesn’t get done, 2) Enjoy as much as I can. So far I have kept that up and although my pain levels have crept up to an 8 this evening, my satisfaction level is at a 12 so its all good!
Mat usually does most of the cooking so today was the first day in quite a while that I did all 3 meals of the day. I was nervous because I didn’t want to make awful food but I didn’t do to bad. I genuinely forget that I did everything on my own for 8 years… I am actually quite capable! Surprise! I made just a simple creamy pasta with garlic, mushrooms, onions and spring onions and garlic bread on the side. It could have done with some colour though.
Isobel enjoyed playing with this block that has coloured pegs that she matches to the right colours and reading her books and of course going up and down the stairs and watching Hey Duggee. I will be taking her out of the house tomorrow hopefully.
I’m off to read for a bit before I sleep. I finished a book yesterday and I think I am going to read a book I have read a few times before… The Keep by F. Paul Wilson or maybe Friend Request by Laura Marshall.
Goodnight & God Bless xx
