Hello Everyone! Never got a chance last night to update my blog, so much stuff needed done! For example, getting the young man to bed and collecting our new leather settee! Thanks to Alison (Andys Mum).
So yesterday was an ok day, Went to work and again was up at 5.30am, no cooked breakfasts! Woohoo!! lol Got bus into town, then bus to alisons house, then bus into town and then mooched around the shops til andy got out of work! so nothing interesting really happened!
However....today on the other foot is very interesting!
Tommy woke screaming the house down at 6.45 (im off work today!!) So brought him into bed to cuddle him better and he was really worked up! Couldnt understand what happened! So finally got him back to bed, for an extra half hour! Better than nothing eh?
When tommy finally got up about 8.15am he yet again screamed.....and didnt stop til 10.30am.....how he hasnt lost his voice i do not know!!! Nothing would settle him, food? no. Bottle? No. Toys? No.....ok cuddles?? NO!!!!!!! he just kept screaming! So enough of that I took him into the town (So if he didnt stop screaming he would sound quieter as the cars drown him out) and to maybe get the odd tut off old people or something. But!! He slept the whole time!!! So I went and got him some lovely clothes from Drop In Kids Resale Portadown. Their stuff is amazing!! So tommy got I dont know how many clothes, then off to High Street Mall where I took him to argos and got him a 2 new toys!! Hes already tested the strength in them by bashing them off the side of my face......there tough so there safe I guess??
Home Sweet Home!
Put my lunch on and gave tommy a spoon feed and bottle...and now? Well hes content!! I have no clue what to do with myself!!!
So off for now! to enjoy the peace that has finally arrived at our house!!
8 Days off the cigs!

23/04/2013 Work Day
Good evening! What a eventful day! I suggest you make a cuppa bring popcorn and then read this..
5.30am...alarm squealing in my ear while i moan in protest telling myself the world is wrong it is NOT 5.30am.....it couldnt be.....
5.35am....Andy's alarm felt lonely so it started squealing too....if I wanted the world to end this morning would have been it.
So stumbled to the bathroom and near died! Something was scary and looking back at me!! Black eyes, hair like snakes!!! Then I calmed down when i realized it was just me in the mirror, phew, close call.....
Andy still happily snoozing away when i stomped in and said "sorry need light on to see" BAM!!! the almighty light came on!! Made my day a little bit brighter!!
I was so nice (as awful as it sounds) to wake tommy up for a change instead of him waking me! if you look up the word "grumpy" "Displeased" in the dictionary Tommys picture would have been there, in the middle of getting tommy ready I completely forgot to pack my bag!!! "this is called baby brain at 5.45am*
Off to work! Go in, to find out iv 5 cooked breakfast's!!!! not 1 or 2 but 5!!!!!! Alot of panic (as it was my first time cooking that many on a time limit) My hands are red raw....I really should learn not to put my hands under the grill to fish the bean dish out....so I survived breakfast, off to clean rooms!! 2 rooms with a kingsize bed, en suite charming and a double bedroom with an en suite. Those bed side tables are out to get me....i know it...my elbows look like they have been through world war 2!
Finsih cleaning....phew.....time to go home......oh wait!! thats right I missed the bus...quick call to the better half to come to my rescue! My parts man in a shinny red rover 25!! He left me into town and I decided to walk to my mums with Tommy, To find out I picked her up wrong....I thought she was off but oh no she wasnt.....bugger....
Got taxi home...tommy was content to play in his playpen for averagely 0.3 seconds. Bless <3 So, intot the high chair, bannana all sliced up and put infront of him, most ended up on the floor, my god we need a dog!!
BATH TIMEE!!!
Dangerous work.....oh no! no no, not the child drowning or touching the hot tap, its the fact I could drown!!! He splashes, kicks, and occasionally the odd pee.....i need a scubba divers outfit to bath him! Nor does the rubber duck interest him, but the jug to wash his hair interests him!! Typical...out of the bath and into the biggest fluffiest towel I can find for him, wrap him up and have a big cuddle!! Sitting on the sofa having a cuddle ever so happy! Then the dreaded moment....his hands clench....his toes curl....the bright red face.......*PPPPPFFFFFTTTTT* If you thought you have seen white? No, you should have seen my face then you would have known the true colour of white! Thankfully false alarm so his father, my partner was called to the rescue to secure the nappy on. Talk about team work!!
Bed time for the young man!!!!
PARTYYYYYY!!! Well, if you call a party eating dinner in peace and going online! No vodka, no beer, no wine....just sweet sweet cans of *diet* boost......heavon...
So a long day but interesting! Off to watch some rubbish on tv and head to bed....work at 7.15am....please pray the clocks feel ever so kind to go back 5 hours during the night!!
Night everyone!!

Good afternoon! What a weird day its windy and cold but too warm to wear a coat! Any way, decided i would take myself and Tommy out for a walk in the town, after battling with putting the car seat into my partners car i had Tommy ready to rock n roll! To then discover andy had not been to the dump so no room for the pram.....there was abit of frost in the air...lol
Finally got into the town, unloaded basically the whole house bar the kitchen sink...then again it is possible that it was hidden in my baby bag unknowingly. So off to the shops! Bought Andy a E-Cig as he is looking to quit aswell! (Im on day 6 and not feeling as bad as before) So after yet another battle of trying to fit this massive pram and the house into a small shop I finally get Andy one. To discover they where doing an offer which i obviously missed....bugger....
Went to taxi rank to get taxi home as translink dont believe in using pram friendly buses, to actually find out I still had something to do! By this stage Tommy decided it was a great time to want his lunch! So went for a coffee and to feed him, by the time Tommy had stopped spitting everything out and got whatever I could into him with dodging the flying bits of Grandma's Sunday Lucnh my Luxury hot chocolate went cold...I was ready to cry....£2.80 down the drain! Least Tommy got some entertainment out of it!
Back to taxi rank, battled with the pram, baby bag, shopping, (the contents of the house) and a car part.....(Andy thought it would be a good idea to give me it to bring home). Threw the door feeling like the man out of the yorkie bar ad. I really did! Only no yorkie bar nor any chocolate to be seen in this house!! And nor like the galaxy ad where your woman has one under her sofa...all il find is a fluff bunny!!! Something has to give here!
Tommy is expressing himself through the art of screaming, wow....where did andy put the paracetamol??? But on the bright side Tommy said "mama" for the first time while I was on the phone to my dad! So proud!!
Not long til the little muppet is tucked up in bed snoring his head off!! (The reason i have used the term "muppet" is due to the fact my step father would have called me and my sister this!) So the plan for tonight?

- No housework
- No cleaning
- No washing
- No changing bed
- No nothing
- No cooking
- Eating everything in sight that doesnt have to be cooked.
22/04/2013 Good Morning!
22/04/2013 09.05am
Good morning! Tommy says good morning too through the screams! I swear men love their own voice as when I look at him the biggest smile breaks out! Not much of a fight this morning with feeding as the better half done it, the hair chair was white but now its a wheatabix sort of colour, nice to have a change eh? 5th day with my e-cigarette. Not going to bad! only have had about 4 cigarettes sence iv had it. So i don't stink so much of the dirty cigs! bet Tommy is loving it!
So the young man is currently in his playpen surrounded by toys but the ones in the basket outside of the playpen look more fun in his eyes....typical....lol And why I am not loosing any weight after running around? I am clueless!!!! But he seems happy watching Get Squiggling! on Cbeebies....bliss....
Off for now to try and enjoy a cuppa!!

Life with the young man
So, I have my first baby called Tommy, he is such a wee monster! but the most precious thing in the world! I thought for my sanity as im giving up the cigarettes for my health and tommy's, I would write a blog on my experience of being a mum day by day. So should be some humor in here somewhere along the ups and downs!
So lets start by today!
So, the little man woke up at 9am! Lie in! woohoo! I think the only reason he woke up was due to being on his tummy and couldnt get back over, poor dote!
So the day started off with a fight trying to dress him! He believes he should be au natural and i believe he needs to cover himself! so after an hour or so of battling i managed to get him into a babygro to find out i buttoned it up wrong! before i had a chance to correct it tommy decided to roll away from me......
Lunch time!!! Tommy has learned his new trick!!! get a spoonful of food into his mouth, smile and spit it out!!!!!!! i ended up wearing most of it! im sure every other mother understands!
Finally.....little monster back to bed for the night....bliss......now time for a cuppa and a mooch online......
