Sick,but still mommy duties

I have the flu.
Today it was hubby’s turn to get dd1 ready and bring her to school, which means sleeping in for me. And since I was really feeling not well, this was very welcome.
Somehow hubby had trouble with dd1, so I ended up getting her ready again.
She didn’t want to go at first, which made me wonder if she was feeling sick as well.
First she said that she was sick but later after talking to her and asking her if she really didn’t want to go, she decided that she would go after all.
So despite not feeling well and quite wobbly, I got her ready as fast as I could and hubby drove her to school. I also asked him to get me some medicine.


I stayed in bed for the most of the morning. Hubby brought me paracetamol with a cup of water and I got breakfast and tea in bed. Wow ! But later I went down to do some stuff on the pc like check the balance of my bank account.
Hubby got a phone call from a job agency about a vacancy.
They wanted to meet him today and hubby wanted to get a hair cut, so I needed to check if we can afford that. He ended up buying a new suit at Lidl as well. He wanted to make a good impression. Lol

Anyway, because of hubby’s plans I needed to adjust my plans to go back to bed.
Because he’s going to his course after the interview, I needed to iron his newly bought suit and make a bun for dd1.
And I have to cook dinner even though I’m sick. Just so dd1 has something to eat.

And I actually have been spoilt by hubby when it comes to cooking. Since he didn’t have a job and I was working fulltime, he was the one cooking dinner every day.
When I went on maternity leave I left it all like it was.
I really had become a bit lazy. I kept planning to cook a few days a week.
But it’s so easy when someone else does it. lol

But so today I have to cook.
I decided for something easy and that would mean lentil soup.
It’s one of those meals of which we know that dd1 likes it and that she’s going to eat it.


9.17 pm We were wrong. We didn't have chopped tomatoes and despite of me being so 'creative' and putting ketchup instead dd says the meal is not the same because it is yellow. I'm sure that it really tastes (almost) the same.
I can't wait for hubby to return home so I can sleep.

I must say that we all went to my room and I dozed off a couple of times while dd was watching a video.
Well, I probably really slept because I hadn't noticed that dd had gone downstairs to get bread and salami and had made herself some sandwiches to eat instead of dinner.
When I told her that she was not listening to me and had been naughty (I had told her she would not get bread but she needed to eat her dinner instead) and noticed that I really wasn't happy with her behaviour, she said a couple of times with a little voice: 'Sorry mommy' and came up to me to give me a hug and a kiss.
Well what can you say against that ? (Sigh)

She just came down the stairs with her baby sister, telling me she had changed her nappy. Remember, she's four years old.....Oh my word..
I really don't know what to say. I'm just happy she didn't fall of the stairs with the baby. Ofcourse she means well.(sigh)

Hope hubby is back soon. But it's also about sleepy time for dd1.
So, off to bed...
Have a good night....

Mummy, I need your 'pookie'

It’s World Breastfeeding Week from August 1st to August 7th 2013 and this year’s theme is Breastfeeding Support: Close to Mothers. You can read more about it on http://worldbreastfeedingweek.org . The focus is on community support, particularly in the form of peer-to-peer support. To show support for World Breastfeeding Week, the Irish Parenting Bloggers group is holding a blog march about varied breastfeeding experiences, including experiences with breastfeeding support in Ireland. This inspired me to write a post about breastfeeding as well. My breast feeding journey When I was pregnant with my first child, I decided that it would be a great idea to combine breast- and bottle feeding. But in the hospital they convinced me how healthy and important it was to breastfeed exclusively and then I decided to go that road. I got a breast pump to express milk so my baby could get a bottle with breast milk when I was out and about or for the scarce times that I would leave her...

An interview with ' moi'. Ask Away Friday with Meg from The Patchwork Paisley.

One of my favourite bloggers and my new blog friend Meg, asked me to participate in this new link up called Asked Away Friday hosted by Penny from The Real Housewife of Caroline County . Ask Away Friday is a swap of questions between two bloggers with the purpose to feature another blogger on your blog and to get to know each other better by asking and answering questions. I’m thrilled to be doing this with Meg. Meg is a mom of two, an art teacher, and she has an amazing blog which I know you will love as well. She is very talented and creative and loves DIY which you will notice if you visit her blog. To see the questions that I asked her and her answers, go to her blog The Patchwork Paisley . Below are the answers to the questions that she sent me.  1. What are 3 adjectives you would use to describe yourself?   This is hard. Friendly, honest, caring. 2. If you could travel back in time and live in a different era, where would you go? ...

Leopard print, hot pink and sparkles. Mini Lipsy giveaway. (closed)

As you perhaps could tell from my last post, I love animal print but mostly leopard print. I'm always excited when I find something in leopard print. I also love hot pink and sparkles. So I love finding items with one of these three things on them. I was thrilled to find the top that I was wearing today on a carboot sale for 1 euro. It has all three things in it, even though the sparkles are hard to see on these pictures. I'm wearing it with a denim skirt and black shiny (leather look) leggings That's also why I'm still in love with the Lipsy bag I bought last year, which has all three combined in one bag.  I actually exchanged my bag with a new one that I bought as a spare because I loved the bag so much. The old one still needs to go in the washing machine but for now I 'm enjoying the new one. It a comes with a purse which is also in leopard print and pink but it misses the sparkles. I have a new purse as well to replace my purse but...
