'Long time coming'?????

The title of my post this morning, 'Long time coming', relates to a topic I didn't end up mentioning so I thought I had best pop back on!

So what am I talking about?? (a) A haircut, (b) a nail appointment, (c) shopping for clothes, (d) all of the above. The answer is (d) thanks to my sweet husband! All this is happening on Friday and, while I don't think we can at all afford it, he is insisting that I go ahead with the appointments he made (how much sweeter is it that he made them?!) because "we can't afford not to". I think he meant that I have been a bit depressed about my appearance lately so if we don't do something about it the mood around the house won't be the best! Having my nails attended to is such a luxury (even if I do get them done every 2-4 weeks anyway), shopping for clothes is so much fun, despite being a little scary (after having a baby and still being insecure about all the 'excess' things going on), but getting a haircut...my goodness, this is a long time coming for sure! I haven't had anything done to my hair since I was 6 weeks pregnant with Gabriel! I used to get a cut every 6-8 weeks and a colour every second appointment made. The last appointment I had saw my hair take on an orange tinge (which required 3 fix-up appointments!) and my hairdresser and I were in aggreement that I should not colour while pregnant...nothing was said about getting it cut (obviously!) but I've just been trying to avoid spending the money when the colour growing out wouldn't be making me feel like a classy lady anyway. ha ha. I will have to pop on with an 'after' shot over the weekend!

Long time coming

I've been avoiding posting in here lately because Remmy and I have been meaning to buy me some web space to have a professional Stampin' Up! site/personal blog and I'm not sure if all my posts here can be transferred to a new site (yes, I'm not very internet savvy!).

Not much is new here. Gabriel is doing so well now off the medicine he was on for reflux and colic! He's been sleeping through the night for a while now too. The issue at hand for him is the transition from bassinet to cot. We were going to do it this weekend but I am stalling. If we choose to have no more children it's so sad to be done with this beautiful bassinet (the epitomy of 'baby'). ha ha. Remmy is thinking one or two more bubs are definitely on the cards but I'm not so sure...maybe though!

As for our big boy Jasper, the issue at hand is defintiely starting time-out for screaming. He's responding so well to getting a warning and then time out (we're following the supernanny techniques) only I'm wondering what happens now it seems as though he knows he can scream once and get the warning (with the desired attention). We're trying so hard to get him to call out for either Mum or Dad instead of just screaming but he seems to speak in such a little mouse voice we don't hear until he screams!

Here are some recent photos, I have to run, Gabriel's just woken for a feed.

Nothing to say...nobody to say it to

I haven't written in here for a while because I've been so negative lately. I don't quite know what's wrong but I have a good day then 3 awful ones, then 2 good ones, one bad one...etc.

The good days are fantastic! It's usually the boys and I getting along with things happily. We might get out of the house and go for a nice walk or just stay home and still have fun. The bad days, like today, are so depressing! I wrote a list earlier of all the things I feel are going wrong but I won't bore you with the details. Suffice to say that I'm not in a comfortable place and it seems I have little support from friends and family at the moment (which I've no right to complain about as I hardly have time for them myself). Dark times for sure!

No doubt I will pull myself out of this funk but oh how lonely life is when you have abundant needs and nothing to give in return.
