2011 August « I Deserve a Break

Today is the first day of Ramadhan and coincidently it’s also a public holiday here in Ireland. The other half unfortunately is oncall and busy saving lives

I last blogged over 3 weeks ago. Work has kept me busy and every day the both of us would rush home to pick up Aidan from creche. The usual routine coming home would be me in the kitchen making dinner and the daddy entertaining Aidan and getting him ready for bed.

Aidan loves his routine so we make sure we stick by it. He’s usually in bed by 8pm and the best thing about him is that he doesn’t need any help falling asleep. Just put him in the cot, give him his favourite bunny, switch off the lights and walaaa! He will sleep right up to 6 or 7 am the next morning giving us plenty of ‘we’ time. Another thing about this boy is he’s not fussy when it comes to food. He eats anything and everything that I have to keep a very close eye on his weight. It really does worry me sometimes that he’s constantly hungry. But other than that, I really hope the next baby is as easy as him when it comes to sleep and meals.

Nowadays I am so tired at the end of the day that I just want to do nothing and that is why I hardly blog. Work is one thing, keeping up with an active toddler and at the same time making sure we eat home cook meals daily leaves me no time for anything else. Some days I wish I have extra help in running the household but to be honest, it really is manageable if you organise wisely.

Anyway, last week we had a break from the daily grind and had a great time entertaining my aunt and family. I owe you those photos too.

Till then, Selamat Menyambut Bulan Ramadhan! It’s 18 hours of fasting for us living in the Northern Hemisphere. Lucky you people living near the equator
