Our computer is back! Finally! Only took 5 weeks & countless phone calls, but it's back baby. First thing I did was make multiple copies of all my pics - Future Shop accidentally missed backing up 1023 photos & after Ian got on the line trying to figure out why they weren't there (with me sobbing in the background thinking all our precious memories of Liam were gone), they realized their mistake & made us an extra disk - IDIOTS. I will never buy from them again. Ever. Cheap prices & crappy service - welcome to big box store shopping. My next mission is to make albums which involves printing off about 500 photos & a whole lot of work but I don't care. Never trust anything that thinks for you.
I think my child is a bat - he has become totally nocturnal (has 1-2 hour naps during the day & goes to bed as late as 11:30pm some nights), loves to hang upside down & his three favourite foods include bananas, avocados & toast = B.A.T. Plus he's starting to gnaw on everything again so I'm suspecting a few more teeth are coming - the drool & lack of interest in food usually gives that one away.
Whatever I said I would never feed my child before I had a child has once again gone out the window (with everything else I said I wouldn't do as a parent). I feel giulty when he watches me eating like a puppy dog so I end up giving him samples of whatever it is I happen to be munching on. Life is just so much more pleasant when he's happy so who am I to argue? Ian's just as bad I might add - he's no getting off the hook on this one.
I have finally come to terms with the fact that I am not Martha Stewart, a Stepford Wife or Super Woman and that I cannot do everything while holding down a full time job and being a mom and running a household. Soooooo.......after a few (just a few) meltdowns I decided to cave in and get a housekeeper. Hallelujah! She starts next week and I'm getting excited at the prospect of my house getting a good deep clean. It has been almost a year since Liam was born. Yuck.
On Fri Ian set off for Ontario on business, so for 6 days I'm flying solo. Luckily the grandparents are around the corner and chipped in to help. Plus I took some time off work so it's not too bad (we'll see where I'm at by day 4 or 5). It's only day 3 but who's counting? I have deep admiration for single moms - it's hard enough when you have a partner! I know I'm a bit of a whiner but seriously, how do they do it?
Speaking of sharing the workload - I now have a countertop dishwasher & a housekeeper - my dream of becoming a country club is one step closer! Now if only I could work on that nanny.........
