Life and Laundry

Lazy as can be. I loved this day. Besides missing my dear husband - why does he have to go to work? - today was quite alright. We managed to squeeze in some family time in the morning which also included a mid lunch walk through those beautiful autumn leaves. We walked Robdawg to work but turned around halfway as I'm not one to break a sweat. Breastfeeding is all the exercise I need for now thank you. As baby boy and I said goodbye to daddy I felt my whole body smile. I think I have a massive crush on my husband. Baby boy kept on turning back to wave to daddy, for fear of him falling out of the stroller, I parked by the shade and we watched him disappear with the sun. I love seeing the glow in baby's face when he looks at his daddy. There I go again, getting all mushy and sentimental. It must be those autumn leaves. Ps: baby's got an ear infection (wham! How's that for a change of topic!?). It sucks I'm sure but he's handling it pretty well. I sometimes see him jamming his index finger in his ear, he does it with such purpose I'm afraid he might burst his eardrums! In fact he does most things with a sense of purpose. There's no mucking around here, baby is serious about life, whether it's play, laughing, dancing or eating, he goes in full force. I love him. And by the way, we got nothing done today. Sometimes you've got to choose between life and the laundry.

  1. Should have told us about this blog a lot sooner. Just spent most of my morning reading all of them...yes ALL of them. Anyway, have you ever considered becoming a writer. I'm asking because you really can write.
    Glad you guys are enjoying life over there. Unathi sends her regards. She wishes she could have been around when you were here. I think it's because she wanted to throw a braai for you guys. She loves her meat. I suspect it's because she is not the one who gets to season and braai the meat.

  2. Don't worry that you couldn't do much. I have so much respect for mothers who stay at home to raise their children. Raising two kids, sometimes I think my wife is only a coin toss away from insanity. Our house is always messy because kids are being raised in there. Strangely, I missed the mess when they were away and believe me, Robdawg appreciates it as well.
