Single mother

With my sister in laws gone, my husband working over time and my mother in law doing extra shifts and going to lebanon in a few days I will be experiencing looking after my baby Dante on my own whilst running the household and family life on my own. I suppose this will give me some kind of clue to how it may feel when my husband and I move out into our own place.
I don't think it will be extremely difficult because Dante has already begun settling nicely into his bedtime routine. A feed , a bath, another feed and then he sleeps until about 12midnight.
If worse comes to worse I can always just go to my dads house..which reminds me...today I went over with Dante and somehow my dad got him to sleep. Noone except me was able to do that. Grandads are amazing :)
So starting from tommorrow I will be blogging about life as a single mother and a busy wife :)

Arts and Crafts

Well, today is the day in which my sister in laws go to Lebanon..it is going to be really quiet around the house! My husband already works 7 days a week and my mother in law works night shifts so its going to be just me and baby!

I have decided to try and do some different art and crafty stuff with my little one. I brought a box when I was pregnant with him in which I put all different little momentos of him such as his name tag from the hospital and scan photos but I have not had any time in designing the actual box! Any ideas would be welcomed :)

I hope to post up a few pictures so do let me know what you think!

Are there messages behind every story?

Every author must have a point or a reason to each of the stories that they make. However maybe I am looking too much into it. When reading I feel as if I missed the point entirely when I reach the end and only write a review consisting of a few words and dots in-between. That's not a review! There isn't any depth to it and it shows as if I just read the book without any thought whatsoever!

Reading? Will I have the time?

I am starting to read a lot more. When Dante goes to sleep I don't actually feel like watching T.V anymore, it is getting tiresome and repetitive. I would rather stick my head in a good book. But it can be hard to take the time to read when you only have a few hours sleep, entertaining Dante and then trying to settle him back to sleep again. Having a little baby takes it out of, physically, emotionally and mentally so sometimes the last thing on my mind is to be picking up a book and reading. I could stop moaning and just take a nap but as everyone around me knows, I hate napping. I don't like to wake up and find that, first of all I'm groggy and second I've missed half the day. It doesn't seem right, so that just leaves me with one option...to stay awake! Cup of teas do help in this equation though.

So back to the point of reading. I used to read a lot in primary and secondary school and then I just couldn't find the time to read any more. There were too many things happening so when i found out i was pregnant with Dante I started to read again.

I found out I was pregnant with Dante after i stopped university and I knew noone would want me in a job so staying at home and exercising my imagination seemed the perfect activity for me (although i was still job hunting). So here I am, reading book after book whilst Dante is sleeping. Talking of which, I better go and see if he is still sleeping, I bid you adieu!
