He had a fresh cup of tea, I stood in my PJs holding a steaming bowl of oatmeal. “Come and sit with me,” I said, as I walked to the dining table. And then turning back, I added, “I like your company.” Since I realised the change that’s come from M being home, I’ve been [...]

I’m So Glad I am a Stay-at-Home Mother

Three times in the last five weeks… Three times! And that’s a lot really — I’m exhausted. Am I talking about sex? No. Dates with my husband? No. Attempts to start weight lifting again? Nope. Trips to the Emergency Room, that’s what I’m talking about. And those were just the (dubious) highlights — in between [...]

Two “This house!” M muttered under his breath as he kicked a tangled pile of laundry out of his way. “This bloody house!” And then he turned and stormed back upstairs without even looking at me. I sighed. But I understand why he’s frustrated — this house, indeed. It’s always on the edge of mess, [...]
Busy Getting Nothin’ Done

There are days when I wonder how other people do it. Really. They keep blogs — multiple blogs sometimes — they do 365 photo things, they make, they sell on Etsy or their own shops, they design, they Twitter, they Facebook, they work out, they… they… they… I am so impressed by them, and jealous, [...]
Because I Know You’re Dying to Know
Posted in Uncategorized on March 10, 2009 | 2 Comments »
It’s my birthday next month and I was putting together my wishlist for my mum and sister (my sister, especially, always really wants us to do wishlists to for her). Since reading a blog is really all about voyeurism, I thought you might enjoy a look-see… In no particular order, except for the first one [...]
Unpacking the Unexpected

I have been really down lately — really really struggling with a dark funk that has me in tears most days and which I just cannot lift myself out of (hence, the lack of posting this past week) — and I decided that a little productivity might be just what I needed. So I told [...]
A Little Gift for You

I was surfing the internet today, looking a few things up, and using Hyperwords to no end when a horrifying thought suddenly occurred to me… some of you may not know about Hyperwords! And that would be such a crime that I decided I had to make sure that it wasn’t the case. Hyperwords is [...]
In the Shadows of the Christmas Lights
Posted in It happens to an Expat, Making our move, My mother, Observations of Life, Repatting, Uncategorized, Who am I?, tagged Christmas, Family, holidays, Home, homesick, homesickness, Life, mother, Personal, relationships on January 4, 2009 | 3 Comments »
“So, did you get through Christmas without much homesickness?” my mother asked cheerily as we drove back from the shops. I hate how her perpetual optimism causes her to phrase questions with an innate assumption, so that half the time I am forced to counter rather than just answer. It exhausts me, and it makes [...]
