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??
