Hi everyone, so I havent posted since wednesday, sorry about that. It was my brother's birthday yesterday and we had a little party for him on wednesday for which I made the banner and cake. Plus Tobias has been in a really bad mood lately, I'm not sure what is wrong with him. We did have a really good routine established but for the last week he has just been all over the place and being really LOUD! :S
This morning when he woke up I realised he had undone his nappy so he had peed all over himself and his bedding so that was pretty gross. So I quickly chucked his bedding and clothes in the wash and we had a bath straight away. For the record, I usually use huggies nappies but this week I got my nappies from the chemist near our house and they only had snugglers. They are really not as good in my opinion.
Right now he is in his bouncer while I'm on here and dispite being fed, nappy changed, and having a variety of toys at his disposal he chooses to squeal and carry on in this really annoying high pitched whine. Ugh its so annoying. I'm pretty sure he's just doing it for attention because there is nothing else it could be. Anyways I'd better go and sort him out. xoxo

Monday part 2 :)
Hello again fellow bloggers :) Its 12:03pm and Tobias is laying next to me on the couch testing his voice box. He loooves the sound of his own voice. Which usually gives me a headache. I've propped him up against me now and he is intently watching me type. We went for a 50 minute walk this morning and as soon as we got back I jumped on the cross trainer (for the first time in months) for ten whole minutes which for me is pretty darn amazing. Then I just about calapsed off the cross trainer, put Tobias in the lounge room, had a shower, glanced in the mirror and just about died! My face was red raw and thats when it clicked, I'd forgotton to put sunscreen on.... :S Whoops!! I just covered it up with foundation so I dont look like a beetroot if anyone visits.
As for Tobias's sleeping, it has gone back to being very broken during the night. For example, last night he went to bed at 9:45ish, then woke at 11pm, 1am, 3am, 4:30am and then 7:30. It kinda sucked not being able to get a decent chunk of sleep because thats basically what he has been doing for about 2 weeks now I think.. (something like that anyway). Its more disappointing because he had started sleeping through the night from 10pm until about 7 or 8am. It was great! Oh well, we cant have everything i guess. :P Anyhoo... Tobias is due for a feed now so I'd best get on top of that..
Catch ya later xoxo

New Beginnings
Good morning all. Its Monday the 7/2/2011 9:08am (according to my computers clock).
How was everyone's weekends? Mine was pretty boring, although I do have some news.
I am starting a lifestyle change as of yesterday. Yesterday morning Tobias and I went out for a walk to the chemist (its about 25 minutes each way) to pick up some nappies and formula. Well, after picking up those two items I wandered over to the weight loss section and ended up stocking up on 2 weeks worth of dietry shakes! I am currently a size 16 and the last time I weighed myself I was about 90kgs so I have finally worked up enough will and courage to start to lose weight. So yesterday was day one and this is how it (and all others from now on) will go...
Wake up, clean up dishes and such from last night, have a dietry shake for breakfast, go for a walk, have a shower, do any washing that needs doing, have lunch, do any housework that needs doing, maybe go for another walk, then have a healthy (but hearty) meal for dinner.
It is going to be so hard because I absolutely love my food, but I would really like to trim down in time for my best friends wedding in april. Well, I'm hoping to be at least half way to my goal by then. I would like to lose a total of 20kgs, maybe 25kgs, so that I am the right weight for my health.
Anyways Tobias just woke up, so I'd better go get him before he cracks a major. I'll be back later on though to update you on his situation with his sleeping and such. It hasn't been the best lately.. :S Anyways catch ya later xoxo

Saturday... wow its the weekend already!
Hi all, sorry I skipped two days. I've been a bit slack (and busy) lol. Well, lets catch you up.
Thursday began like any other boring day. Feeding Tobias, playing with Tobias, cleaning up etc etc etc. Then my sister walked into the lounge room at about midday and said that she had agreed to do something with a friend that she actually didn't want to do. Belly Dancing! Then she suggested instead of completely cancelling, that I should take her place and she would babysit for me. Well, yes! of course I'll do it!! So now every Thursday night at 7pm I join my friend Katherine for an hour of hip-swinging belly dancing! Its just a beginners introduction course but wow! it is so much harder than it looks! And its actually quite a good work out! :)
I wear a blue shirt, grey tights, long blue skirt and a blue hip scarf. Its a proper belly dancing hip scarf with those little coins that chink-shink-chink when you swish your hips around.
And yesterday (friday) was my sister's 24th birthday. Tobias and I got up early and headed to the shops before it got too hot and picked up a few supplies to make and decorate the cake. (Ok, so I didnt actually make the actual sponge cake, I just bought the woolworths double unfilled sponge cake bases.) Then I put Strawberry jam and whipped cream in the middle and decorated the top with pink icing and little icing flowers, those little edible silver balls, and writing icing that said "Happy 24th Birthday Christine". It turned out pretty good. Even if it did look a bit girly-girlish. :) We ended up staying home and ordering chinese for dinner from our favourite Chinese take away call "The Lucky Garden". I swear their chicken is always cooked PERFECTLY!
And Tobias enjoyed seeing his uncles and Nandy. (Nandy is a mix of "Nanna" and mum's name "Sandy"). He is asleep at the moment. I doubt he will be for much longer. Last night he went to bed at about 8pm, then woke up at 4am, went back to sleep at about 5am then woke up at 7am and went back to bed at about 10am. and its now 11:15am. I really enjoy the time when he is asleep because when he is awake he really loves the sound of his own voice. He just talks and talks (in his little baby language of course) and squeals and carries on. It gets annoying very fast.
Anyway, as it is Saturday, that getts me thinking about what other people my age would be doing today/tonight. Hanging out with friends, shopping, going out dancing tonight etc etc etc... I would love to have that freedom of just going out whenever and wherever I want :( But you know what I am actually doing today and tonight? Sitting at home, cleaning, looking after Tobias, bored out of my brain!! :( Thats one thing that really gets me down alot. I try to invite friends over but they are already busy or got a better offer. And if they do come over its usually later at night and all we can do is watch movies or play a board game. The same things over and over and over again!! I really miss variety... :(
How do you feel about those sorts of things? Is it just me being selfish or do other young mums feel the same??

Skipped a day but I'm back
Hi all, sorry I didnt post yesterday. I ran out of internet credit. (We have prepaid mobile broadband). Yesterday Tobias and I went out to the shops to get out of the house because I felt like I was going insane! It was good to do some retail therapy but I ended up spending a bit more than I should have, buying the original Monopoly game and a DVD of the Beatrix Potter collection. (Peter Rabbit and such). Oh, and a bunch of chocolate that I really should have left at the shops.. lol :P
Then I came home and it was back to boring.
So today I went out again (I was supposed to meet up with Tobias's dad but that didn't end up happenning) so I just shopped around again. didn't buy anything though except KFC for lunch. I have been craving it the last few days. It was sooo gooooood :) I really should not eat as much junk food as I do. I always pay for it when I look in the mirror :/
I was also supposed to have lunch with a guy I met on Oasis Active today but he bailed just as I arrived at Marion saying he had to leave for a doctors appointment... Well... I have my doubts. I was quite pissed off (excuse the language) because it was all-systems-go until he realised Tobias was coming. (I did say to him last night he would be coming but he obviously wasnt paying attention) so when he suddenly couldnt hang around I immediately deleted him from my list of possible friends. That was so rude and anyone who isnt cool with Tobias, isnt cool with me. Stupid men. Ugh. Dont get me wrong, the good ones are out there (or so I've been told) but where on earth are they??? Lol! Oh well, Mr Right is out there somewhere. Perhaps we will meet at the Ballroom Dancing classes I am going to enrol in soon. They start in March and I am SUPER excited! I've always wanted to learn how to dance properly and this is my chance to do something awesome for myself.
Anyhoo, hope your all well, whoever you are :) See ya tomorrow :)
