Jallora's Pensées (original) (raw)

Hey, it's been six months already since I posted here, but what can I say ? It's been six busy-as-hell months :P

As far as babies go, A. isn't among the easiest. He's damn cute, he's lovely, but he knows what he wants and what he wants not, this one and has no trouble sharing his opinions. So there's been a couple of rough moments in the first weeks, when our schedules clearly weren't the same (Example : Me : I want to sleep. Him : I don't want to).
I breastfed him until two weeks ago and he's been enjoying it a lot, maybe even a little too much, for the weaning was somewhat difficult.

B. is a great big brother, he's grown a lot since his brother's birth, even if he will try to attract my attention every time I'm a little too busy with A.

My maternity leave ended months ago but I managed to use all the rest days the hospital owed me to remain home with my kids a little longer. I went back to work for a fortnight in late July, then was back on vacations and will be going back for good mid-September.

B. may or may not start pre-school next week. He's 2 and a half, and the teacher would have him, only he's still not potty trained so I don't think that will be possible. I'll phone her in a couple of days to discuss that point with her.

As for me, well... I turned 35 two days ago (had a great day, by the way :) and it seems I've turned out to be one of those people. You know the kind : mid-thirties, a house, two kids, complaining of their job and how stressful their life is and speaking of little else except their kid's prowess or latest deeds... Sounds awfully boring but I must admit that's the truth. Well, I was always in danger to become a boring person, so I can't say I'm suprised, and boring can be nice sometimes. That's a happy sort of boring. When I was younger I used to wish there was more to me than just this, but now I'm reconciled with the idea. As long as I don't turn narrow-minded, I'll be fine =)

Right now the kids are asleep and I will join them soon because 1/ I'm sure to get up at least once or twice in the night, thanks to respiratory tract infection and/or nightmares and 2/ I'll be up anyway at 6.30 am, because that's when A. decided a day should start. But tomorrow they'll both be at their nanny's, and I'll have the day to myself. Oh the treat ! A whole day to do with as I judge good (which I believe will be new haircut and new glasses, or maybe just rest and a good book).
Next week, I'll start doing useful things around the house, I swear, but for now I believe I deserve some "ME" time :)

So, hop, to bed with me !
