Merry Christmas everyone 😀
we had a great day yesterday – Jasper’s first christmas and Mischa’s 3rd birthday all rolled into one! we put more effort into it this year, my family were so excited to give J some cool toys – my sister was on the brink of hysterics when we all started to open up gifts (usually we’re very low key and don’t have many gifts).
of course, i dressed up J as a mini-santa, how could i resist? he looked so cute in it, there were plenty of photos taken! it’s such a weird feeling to think that this time last year he was just a dream, and next year he’ll be up and walking 🙂
yesterday Regan and I took Jasper into the city for the first time, to meet Regan’s work friends. i hadn’t been into the city since we moved out 4 or so months ago, so it was really cool to ‘go back’ and see things again. we didn’t stay long (it was hot hot hot yesterday!) but since i have more time off now, i’ll definately go back in for a longer visit.
last night, i managed to drag my butt out for a few hours for the first time all year it seems (since i’d been pregnant february-november). an old friend of mine is visiting from the uk and a couple of my friends were meeting at a local hot-spot pub/bar/club thing that i’d never been too, so i made the extra effort to get out. i don’t know, seeing my friends was awesome of course, but the whole scene was just really .. not me. i don’t think it was ever me, i don’t like the sleazy men making sleazy comments, i don’t drink, i don’t smoke, it smelt like body odour wherever i turned. the girls where all young and workin’ it in their gorgeous (and not so gorgeous) teeny tiny dresses, i just wanted to sit and talk to my friends and not have to scream over the music. i felt about 6 years too old to be there.
i got home and held onto Regan like the stink on those sweaty boys skin.
i’m so so glad to be so so boring.. and old… and happy.
I’ve been dreading – and i mean DREADING – going back to work and leaving Jasper so early – but I talked to my boss today, preparing myself to start back on Monday first thing, and we’re all taking a 2 week break! I don’t start back until the 7th now, which gives me more time to adjust to the thought of full time work.
Ahh, relief.
