Change is in the wind

Today is a big day, but it's not my biggest day yet to come. It is nonetheless an important day.

Today is the day that the house I have lived in for 20 years, goes on the market. I've probably wanted to move for 15 of those years, but due to life, circumstances and shit happening it never happened.

The house looks clean, fresh and spacious. Bright and airy. I am knackered!

I'm sitting here starving but can't make much needed breakfast for fear of making a mess. The estate agent is due in 10 minutes and I just need to make it until after they have left and I make a feast.

I do however need to build the new habits of cleaning up immediately after myself so that there isn't much to do whenever I have a viewing.

What will the future hold for me and my boy? So exciting!

Mothering Sunday (the reality)

Here in the UK, yesterday was Mother's Day. Despite being in a lockdown and the usual meals out and walks to meet people being cancelled, you couldn't fail to notice. People were posting all over social media wishing their mums the best day, expressing caring sentiments for those who have lost their mums or their children. Sharing photos of their "Super Mums" and in some cases the amazing gifts they received. Even as a single mum, I have a good enough relationship with my ex that he took our son out and supported him in choosing some gifts for me. In the most caring of ways, Little Legs woke me at before 6am and proceeded to pester me until I agreed to get up. My biggest laugh of the day was when he gave me the present he was most proud of, the one he was sure said, "Super Mum"..... I don't have the heart to tell him the truth! 💙 Before the day could really kick off we did a reproduction of a Mother's Day video from a few years ago. His silliness is...

Grounding time

I'll be honest I've been struggling a bit these last 2 or 3 months. As much as things all seem pretty good on paper I haven't been able to feel quite.... "right". I've spent a lovely time this summer with my son, with my family, old friends coming to visit, taking trips out to the beach, camping, time off work, but something seems off kilter. I haven't been able to put my finger on it and it's had me feeling restless, uneasy and unsettled. Anyone else get like this? I actually quite like this time of year, the end of summer. As I get into September I do get quite reflective. I ponder how things have been going, what have I been doing, what do I have to look forward to, what do I need to focus on? I grabbed my journal and started writing tonight. I just let the pen drift and the thoughts tumble out, joining the dots and putting the pieces together. It was just what I needed Next came the bullet journal. I felt the urge to draw something that is impor...

Countdown to D Day

Today is the day before my due date. As I've progressed through this pregnancy I've had the pleasure of getting to know other mums-to-be, some of who I just know will be part of my life for many years to come. It seems as each day passes and I get closer and closer to meeting Wrigglebum, those friends I've made are all having their babies. Of course I'm so pleased for them, but I'm starting to get impatient now. I always said that I expected to be overdue, and unless something happens quickly today/tomorrow I'm thinking I'm right! Midwife appointment today confirmed my suspicion of a growth spurt, and baby has grown 4 cms in the last fortnight! That seems massive to me. We were talking at my appointment about what weight baby might be, and of course length is not an indicator of weight, but my lovely midwife reckoned it might be at the top end of 7 pounds. My initial guess on the board at work was 7lb 8oz I think with a due date of 27 March.... ...
