41 Sleeps 'til Christmas

Hi!!

In the 2 hours that I have been awake this morning I have vomited 3 times. Which is fun. 
Ugh. Seriously, when is someone going to throw me a fricken bone?

Meanwhile, at the other end of the house....


Someone would rather party hard in her cot than have her morning nap. Ironically, every other morning this week she has gone straight down for 3 hours, the only morning I actually need her to sleep she won't. 

I can actually hear her banging her head against the wall right now. I may join her shortly... 

On the 'glass is half full' flipside, today is shaping up to be yet another beauty. Forecasted for 33 degrees so if the child won't sleep now at least I know she'll crash & burn later this arv, which means sunbathing & finishing up my book for me! 


I cannot believe how sneaky Xmas has been this year- that sly dog (cat) just came out of nowhere! Suddenly, everywhere I go all is I see is fake pine and tinsel. It is glorious! I really, really love Christmas. It is definitely the best holiday of the year (even trumping Easter). I can't wait to start putting on the Christmas carols and watching home alone & love actually. Ive already bought Blake a giant reindeer that she can't stop snuggling;


Although this year will be a lot different to every other Christmas I've had- it'll be my first year without my family... Which is just strange. Luckily for them they'll all be in Europe so I daresay they won't even remember I exist anyway, but I will be missing them.. I guess it's all part of growing up, and now we have our own little family it's time to start making our own traditions which is a really cool aspect of it all. Seriously cannot wait until the kids are a bit older & Oli dresses up as Santa Claus, ohhhh I can just see the beard pulling now. So it is a fresh new start on Xmas in our new city with our new family, and it makes me deliriously happy to think about the years of christmas's we will all share together as a family. Until they reach their "tweens" that is & all they want for Christmas is an iPad 22 and a hover board (oh god).
 "Muuuuummmmmm turn off those songs they're SO annoying, and Home Alone is for baaaaaabies"- I can't wait!!


It is a classic.

**She has finally caved & fallen asleep-woohoo!**

When she wakes up we'll be off to grab some groceries, then I might sneak in some yoga & reading and then I'm going to attempt my first ever lasagne. This dish really intimidates me- I've never had the guts to try it so I'll be sure to let you know how I get on. 

Hope you're all having a good week!

Thought of the day "my Christmas wishlist is empty, I've got everything I want- that is so corny... I'm sure I can think of something to put on there"

P.s is anyone else missing Big Brother for one reason & one reason alone?



Self explanatory...

Ciao!
