A completely random blog by a mumtrepreneur who wants to inspire
It’s back to basics for me ….. why do I wake up in the morning? Why do I work so hard? Why do I do anything in my life?
Why …. this is my reason ….
I bought these 2 signs in New York from one of those stalls that line the sidewalk opposite the plaza, next to central park. As soon as I saw them I knew I needed to hang them in my office.
I have been a little lazy lately and rather than cooking fresh vegies to go with Cooper’s dinners I have been using the Steam Bagged ones. I have been thinking about making some myself for week as I found the steam bags in Woolworths.
Finally! I have bought some more SK-II! Before I got married back in 2007 I decided to try SK-II. I had seen the ad’s and I have always been envious of Cate Blanchet’s skin. She has the perfect porcelain complexion and even though I knew a lot was genetics I still wanted to try these “magic” products.
I was feeling pretty crappy yesterday so I went out for some retail therapy. Along with buying too many clothes I also picked up a book in the book store. Since buying my Kindle I haven’t bought a single book, which is pretty sad but I have no need to buy physical books anymore.
I must firstly admit that I actually like Tori Spelling. I was a huge Beverly Hills 90210 fan as a kid I had a massive crush on Dylan and wanted to be just like Kelly but I also really liked Donna. Now I really love watching Tori’s reality shows – Tori and Dean: Inn Love and Home Sweet Hollywood.
Every single time I buy a DVD from Target they forget to unlock it. Ok I hear you and yes I know, I should really check before I leave but it’s so hard juggling my purse, handbag, trying to give Cooper a sandwich and a drink while trying to remain calm and collected and lastly remember my pin!
So today I went to Target I decided to splash out and buy a DVD I have wanted for a little while. Now before I tell you the name you have to promise not to laugh and you have to hear the story first. So here goes ….
I have been thinking about the amazing skills I have learned as a Mum. These are skills I never knew existed and skills that come so naturally to me now.
1. Telepathy – I without fail every single day will wake up exactly 4 minutes before Cooper. I lay in bed and wait for him to cry. I have developed a 6th sense.
When to have another baby?
We started trying for Cooper with so much enthusiasm and we were so confident we were ready. Hindsight I was going in totally blind with no idea what I was getting myself into! If the pre-mummy me had a crystal ball I am sure I would have stayed childless!
Now I know that sounds awful. I love Cooper and would never ever change anything, but being is a Mum is so much harder than I ever thought it would be. I am a naturally selfish person and I struggle daily with the fact that my life is no longer my own.
