Show down

We've had such a lazy weekend, it's been wonderful.

We did very little yesterday, apart from venture outside into the snow in the morning for about half an hour before we were all so damn cold that we had to head home. Jeans + snow = pins and needles in thighs - ouch!

We spend the afternoon braving the Bentall Centre for bargains for my son's first bed! We ordered it last weekend, but have now got the duvet, sheets etc. It's so exciting, but I also can't believe that my little man will be in a bed in a few weeks. Really, where does the time go.

I think he woke up with a nightmare last night at about midnight. We hadn't gone to bed yet (I'd somehow managed to convince Hubby to watch the Sex and The City movie and suddenly our son started screaming in a really terrified manner. It was horrible. Anyway, I ended up having to take him out of his room to calm him down and lay next to him on our bed, stroking his face as he fell asleep. I really welled up. One day, this little piece of perfection will no longer really be mine. He'll have left me and probably have his own wife and children. Will he remember these precious moments he spent with me? Probably not. It makes me more determined that ever to ensure that I make the most of every moment I do get to spend with him.

True to form, despite the lack of sleep last night he was still up at 7am wanting his Daddy. Luckily for me, Hubby obliged and kindly kept him entertained until 10am!! I love him! We've had such a chilled day, all just playing together and choosing photos for a photo thing I got for son's playroom from IKEA.

Hubby and I did have a little bit of a show down while son was having his nap though. You've probably gathered I'm quite a controlling person..... ;-) So, it's been hard, but I've left hubby to his own devices this week on the new job front. He's done nothing. There are lots of reasons and excuses, I know and I do understand them, but when it comes down to it, I'm just not happy. It terrifies me that if if he doesn't get a job, we'll be completely buggered. It's not like the job market is exactly booming either, so it will probably take him much longer than it would have 18 months ago. So, anyway, I told him how I was feeling. Not in an aggressive way, I just said it how it was. I think he got the message; he swiftly left the house for a run. That's a good thing by the way: he always uses running to think and clear his head and it's a good first step for the London Marathon training and weight loss.

So, quote of the day today.... this one's by Harry S Truman

"It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours."
