Well the long weekend has been and gone and I am not sure I am all the more relaxed from it or not. After the 5 days of working last week the extra day was essential and not really a luxury.We had pretty lousy weather, cool and rainy, which back in the day would have meant that we could have spent … [Read more...]

So, it's been a month since I was feeling a little poorly and feeling like I wanted to get my groove back and launched Project GBGB (getting Beth's groove back).

It's Rob's birthday today. Happy Birthday Rob! 32 numbers old. I was getting dressed for work this morning and he said to me that he was 27 when we met. Goodness me.

I like to think of myself as a fairly open minded person. I have always even prided myself on the fact that I am open to most things, accepting of most people and what they decide to do. I know people are different, that different things floats different peoples boats etc etc but I have to say in … [Read more...]

There I was going about my business on Wednesday when I found a lump in my breast. I didn't think much of it as they have always been a bit funny since breastfeeding and I never really know what is normal. Anyway, the lump was there and it was actually hurting a bit. It's funny as soon as you notice … [Read more...]

Something happens to me when Daisy isn't sleep in bed by 7pm. Something in me snaps when she cuts into the only "me" time I have in the day. There are of course exceptions, like when we are away, or at a friend's place etc, and the 7pm rule can be stretched to 7.30 - 8.00 (at the latest) but on a … [Read more...]

I think I am turning into one of the mothers that I didn't want to be. You know the "we can't go there because Daisy needs to sleep then" - timing everything around when the baby needs to sleep, or eat. I had illusions of being carefree, Daisy sleeping anywhere, anytime without a care or problem in … [Read more...]
