Life as we know it

Sometimes melancholy takes over. A feeling that hey, ive done all this, now im here, all is good...bought my fridge, my microwave, an apartment, got married, had a kid, what else is there. Alternatively, sometimes when all is good, there is an impending fear that disaster is around the corner. Well the best advice i would give myself is live for today, and that is exactly what i have been doing...updating myself on other blogs on the net.

Over the weekend me and hubs were discussing what we can do as a family. We have been bumming around the house since i gave birth, cause its just so hard to plan an outing, to do anything that we used to do before the baby. No more having coffee with friends, no more dinner in swanky restaurants (its chillies or fridays for us..and in fact the mcD's at Midvalley was like a romantic dinner last friday)..that whole era of our lives is over. It takes about 2.5 hours for our family to get out of the house, by the time we are at our destination, we are shattered, nicholas is hungry, cranky, tired, and hot...and we are ready to go home. Life as parents is something else.

The conversation never found its conclusion, we were too tired to even think of activities. And so the weekends have been. and so the weekends will be..

.......at the end of the long day, with our eyes half open, as we were about to put our heads down, came the angelic sound of whats keeping us alive, and so so so happy..."Ah gurrrr...said nicholas with his famous gerber smile" and we survived another weekend smiling.
