No seriously, I’m back
As the title states, yes I really am back. It’s been too long, I know and what can I say a LOT has happened in my almost year hiatus. I managed to let my domain lapse, but was lucky enough to get it back. I will be making some changes (I think) to the site little by little, but for now I just wanted to get back and blog my little heart out.
Okay, so last you heard I was pregnant. As you might imagine after nearly a year I’ve had the baby. It was a boy. He is now 4 and a half months old and the best thing that EVER happened to me. I never knew it could be this amazing! I really loved my job and found it so fulfilling, but nothing even remotely close to spending everyday with my son. I can’t even imagine going back now. I’m so lucky to have a year off with him and thank God every day for my special little guy. At some point I’m going to have to face reality and figure out what to do with him. Do I go back to work? Can I afford to stay home? If I go back, do I want daycare, homecare, Opa-care (granddaddy)? If the world were perfect, I would be able to stay home fulltime and raise my son the way I feel is right. If the world were nearly perfect, then I would have to go back to work, but my husband (yeah I’ll get to that in a bit) would get a shift job to cover the time when I’m at work so that between the 2 of us he’d be looked after. I must admit though that I’m not very realistic. I haven’t even investigated daycares and I know people who have put their names on waiting lists from the time they conceived! I’m in trouble!
So I said I’d get back to the husband bit. Yes, I also managed to get myself hitched. The guy? My son’s daddy and my long time boyfriend of 11 years. Can’t really say that we move very quick huh? My Mum threw the wedding together and was probably the smallest (next to civil services) wedding you’ve ever heard of at a grand total of 16 people including bride and groom. I think that hubby and I probably would’ve been happy enough to continue the unmarried scenario forever, but since we were pregnant (totally planned by-the-way) it was “frowned upon” to not be married, so we obliged.
And in final news, we, with GREAT thanks to my Dad, have just bought a house. Can you believe wedding, baby and new house all in one year?! Yeah, me neither. But it’s true. The house closes at the end of October, so I seriously need to start packing. I can’t believe that 2, okay 3 now, people can possibly amass so much crap. Yes, crap. Mostly my hubby’s. Though he thinks all his stuff is so important, he’s about to get a rude awakening. mwahaha
So there’s a little bit of background to get the ball rolling. Over the next little while (I hope) I’m expecting to spiff up the joint a bit and fix all the old links and well, whatever else needs doing. Oh yeah, like updating my version of WP. Since I’m home fulltime and have the blogging bug again, I’m expecting to update dailyish (what a nifty new word that is). Stay tuned.
