What A Difference A Week Makes
A week ago today I was freaking out at the thought of Pete being away for a week. Eamonn wasn't sleeping (in fact was screaming for hours on end over night) and I was exhausted. I've never been without family for more than 24 hours since Eamonn was born. More to the point, when Eamonn and I went to the UK without Pete, Eamonn woke up every hour overnight for the two weeks until Pete arrived. To say I was a little apprehensive about his sleep patterns changing would be a bit of an understatement.
What a difference a week makes. We sorted the problem with the sleeping (too much cows milk) and I've had a nice relaxed week. The mornings are easier as I don't have to worry about whether or not to bring Eamonn into bed with us at 5:30 or whether to battle him to sleep in his cot. Getting out of the house on time is easier, as Pete is NOT a morning person!! I've taken time out and enjoyed the sunshine, and made sure that Eamonn didn't miss his Daddy too much.
Don't get me wrong, we've both missed Pete and it'll be great to have him back, but this week has made me realise that I can cope on my own, and it's not all going to overwhelm me. Which is good, because I'm sure there will be a next time!
I'll leave you with this poem, by the famous poet "anonymous". I've seen it a lot in the last year, but it has captured my two SAHM days this week perfectly.
I Took His Hand And Followed
My dishes went unwashed today
I didnt make my bed
I took his hand and followed
Where his eager footsteps led.
Oh yes, we went adventuring
My little child and I
Exploring all the great outdoors
Beneath the sun and sky.
We watched a robin feed her young
We climbed a sunlit hill
Saw cloud sheep scamper through the sky
We plucked a daffodil.
That my house was so neglected
That I didnt brush the stairs
In twenty years no one on earth
Will even know or care.
But that i've helped my little child
To noble adulthood grow
In twenty years the whole world
May look and see and know.

La persona que me lo envio, está todavia asombrada delo que ocurrio, ya que ella dice que lo hizo por hacerlo y que pidio algo que creia imposible de lograr. Probemos.
* Para ti mismo di el nombre de la única persona del sexo opuesto con quien quieras estar (tres veces...)...
* Piensa en algo que quieras lograr dentro de la próxima semana y repítelo para ti mismo(a) (seis veces)...
* Piensa en algo que quieras que pase entre tú y la persona especial (que dijiste en el no. 1) y dilo a ti mismo/a (doce veces)...
* Ahora haz un último y final deseo acerca del deseo que escogiste.
* Después de leer esto tienes 1 hora para mandarlo a 15 temas y lo que pediste se te hará realidad en 1 semana.
A la mayor cantidad de gente a quien lo mandes más fuerte se hará tu deseo.
Si tu escoges ignorar esta carta lo contrario del deseo te sucederá,
o esto no sucederá jamás...............

Very nice poem, Thank for posting. As for the cows milk some feel that to much dairy product of any kind may not be good.

"the famous poet anonymous"
I love that the way you worded that.
I try to explain to people who come to my house and see dishes or debris that my children are loved, fed, cuddled, etc. and that is the most important chore of all.
Keep blogging.

I like that poem too, since I also do not make my bed. Glad to know that it is not such a sinful thing.

I wonder if players who have access to any shoes they want have any attachments to certain models. Meaning, if they remembered history less in terms of “where were you when?” and more like “what kicks were you wearing when?” In the case of the brand-new lebron x low, the namesake himself debuted them yesterday in the gold-medal win over Spain at the London Olympics. A gold medal is not a bad way to raise the curtain on your newest model if you're lebron x low, even if it's his second Olympic title. Hit the jump to see more pictures of this serious piece of footwear. It seems hard to believe it's been a decade since James signed with Nike, but this is the culmination of that 10 years together. Over in England, where LBJ and Co. just were winning Olympic gold, it took 60 years on the throne for Queen Elizabeth II to earn her diamond jubilee celebration. It seems at lebron x low, which modeled the X on the theme of the unbreakable diamond, James just had to wait 10. On the technical side of the shoe, you'll find a good chunk of the Innovation Kitchen being used here: full-length Nike Zoom, Flywire technology, Hyperfuse construction and Nike+ Basketball technology.http://www.cheaplebronxi.com
