the one where I bullet point my recent history

Posted on December 6, 2009

Hello I’m back. At least I think I’m back. I’m in the mid­dle of a cri­sis of con­fi­dence and I’m not really sure what to blog about. So I’m just going to bul­let point some of our activ­i­ties recently.  I’m hop­ing this will kick start me a bit.

  • Bal­let this morn­ing.  I didn’t know it was the last day of term and that they were hav­ing a lit­tle recital.  I didn’t have my cam­era with me.  I didn’t even have my phone on me.  NO PICTURES!!! Can you believe it??!!?  That’s what hap­pens when you’re away from real life for 2 weeks.  Squidge was adorable!
  • I worry about Squidge.  She’s the type of kid that hugs.  She’s con­stantly going up to other chil­dren and giv­ing them hugs.  Some­times this is appre­ci­ated.  A lot of times it is not.  It breaks my heart.
  • I went to NYC. I had a blast.  FAO Schwartz was fab!

  • Remem­ber when I sprained my pinky a few months ago?  Well I now have a numb pinky and semi-numb ring fin­ger. Should I be con­cerned? It’s a PITA when I type but doesn’t really bother me any other time.
  • Squidge designed a Bar­bie doll while at FAO.  I’m not happy about this turn of events but didn’t do any­thing to stop it.  I think this was the moment I real­ized this kid is going to be spoiled rot­ten.  I didn’t want to ruin her FAO Schwartz expe­ri­ence by deny­ing her any­thing.  Real­ity check mama– the kid doesn’t have any expec­ta­tions of the place!
  • I need a job.  I think I am slowly going insane because I don’t have a pur­pose in life.  Ooh I know being a mother is a great and noble pur­pose but I don’t think it is enough for me.  I gives me too much time to stew and think about things.  To make mole hills into mountains.
  • Wal is off to South Africa  and I miss him.  He’s been a grumpy pain in the ass but he’s our grumpy pain in the ass and we miss him when he’s gone.  He’ll be away until the 16th.
  • We’re not get­ting our tree until the week after he comes back.  I hope there are good trees left by that time.  I fear we might end up with a char­lie brown tree.

  • I enjoyed vis­it­ing my fam­ily and my friends but next time I will do it dur­ing the sum­mer.  Brrrrr!
  • Sit­ting around wait­ing while Squidge is in bal­let class sucks! I appears all the mums/dads know each other because their kids all go to the same nurs­ery.  It makes it dif­fi­cult to chat to any­one.  It is even more dif­fi­cult when they are pass­ing out party invi­ta­tions.  I don’t expect them to give Squidge/me one but it still kind of sucks.
  • I started back at BMF on Fri­day after being away for 2 weeks and it was tough.  I mean really tough.  I could barely keep up.  I got dizzy dur­ing the warm down.  I was soaked and muddy and it just sucked.  I’ll be back on Tues­day. Why? Because I’m a masochist.

What have you all been up to?

    Glad to be able to see you again now we are fixed lol!!
    The no party invite thing is very hard, it may just because she is still quite new.… Caitlin only got one party invite at nurs­ery last yr and I wor­ried she was too quiet to make friends but this yr she has too many invites lol! As for the hugs…their loss!!!

      I know I worry to much! I’m sure she’ll be fine. I can’t wait until she starts school so she can get a reg­u­lar set of friends. Being an only is a lit­tle lonely. I espe­cially notice it after we have vis­ited my fam­ily. I sup­pose she will adjust.

    Get the quack to look at your fin­gers — shouldn’t be like that. You could always try your local Walk-in cen­tre.
    Hugs are good. I love them.
    Good to see you’re back to BMF.
    I’m on a count­down to a week off work.
    Great to have you back x

    Glad to see you back..like teh bul­let point thing… got a lot said can you believe it?? ;) My DD doesn’t like ram­dom hugs and sometmes I cringe on THIs end but in teh end we have to respect them for who THEY are..not what we think they should be.. Just keep explain­ing I guess :( No Invites.. hurts but I get it..just like every kid shouldn’t get a tro­phy for show­ing up to play.. I just keep in mind they will have their real friends soon enough.. It’s life..reality..etc. Keep us posted on every­thing else. Glad you both enjoyed your time in the states..
