I think I've been avoiding posting because my brain has been not a nice place to be lately. I'm not depressed or anything, just still really struggling with this whole mum thing - like we get through each day and we don't *do* anything or we don't *achieve* anything because I feel like it's just a constant wake up+breakfast+feed toby+get dressed+toby nap+run errand+lunch+do chore+liam nap+toby nap+do chore+make dinner+clean dinner+play with kids+run baths+bedtime routine+try get toby to sleep+pass out
Like, I don't even seem to have time to spend with Liam that much because I'm constantly trying to put Toby to sleep or feeding him, or have that much time to spend with Toby because Liam needs my attention. Liam spends so much time in front of the computer now he's worked out how to use a mouse, open the browser, open a new tab, navigate to youtube and type in 'Cars'. He's not even two and a half yet.
And I can't manage to either get out of the house or get Toby into a nap routine because they are both at cross purposes with one another.
Money is suddenly super tight because Adam's been doing out front yard finally, building a front deck, doing a drive way, building a side fence, and putting in grass and plants. (there was nothing but dirt there before) and it's costing more than I anticipated. Adam has also racked up $1000 in speeding fines this year, because he has to drive for work, and that's pretty much the cap because if he speeds anymore he'll lose his license/job. That's like, $1000 down the drain, for.. nothing.
My saviour of a sister in law, Chloe, has just been told by the health nurse to see a professional about being diagnosed for anxiety/depression, so I feel awful now calling upon her for help. My other sister in law Amy visited on Monday to try and make her feel better and was all, 'your life is fine! Everything is doable, easy even! Look at me, I can do everything, I've got so much more on my plate than you, if I can do it, you can too!!! Cheer up! Look, I'll help!' and Chloe understandably ended up in a crying mess of tears after she left. I think I'm Chloe's favourite sister in law at the moment lol.
I added all these wonderful new fandom people and I haven't been doing anything fannish at the moment at all, except read a million words of fanfic while breastfeeding.
I really enjoyed the ending of Spartacus, it was really kind of perfect. Have you watched it yet? Why not. I'm super excited for the finale of Elementary, and for Teen Wolf to start.
I've got everyone's April Swap parcels at my front door ready to be sent out tomorrow.
I'm a much happier (and a more entertaining) person on Facebook, Tumblr and Instagram, so hit me up :D
