Sick

Damn this cold. Can't even go to mothers' group today cos it wouldn't be fair to the other babies (and mothers). That's something I look forward to on Tuesdays. Also, library session for little ones is on today and won't go to that either.

Feel so tired but it makes no difference to the baby. Maybe I should have a little nap now. Don't really want to sleep though.

My Weakness

Nice smelling body washes. Makes me feel like I've been dipped into a lusciously fresh smoothie.

Dreaming of Talent

How nice would it be to be talented and not just a dreamer...

Good Night, Sleep Tight

I'm sick. J's sick. Sophie still seems ok. Fingers crossed she stays that way.

Just want to cuddle up in bed with J.

I haven't been sleeping well. Don't know what to do about J's snoring. I seriously considered having separate bedrooms when we get a bigger place. It's so depressing. Don't want to be one of those couples who sleep separately.

The worst thing is that I can't sleep without him either.

What can I do? I'm desperate for some deep sleep. Sophie hasn't even been waking me up the whole of last month.

I took some Cold and Flu night tablet last night and even though J's snoring woke me up once, the rest of the night I slept quite well. I always have a pillow over my head which helps to drown out the noise a bit but gives me a headache in the morning.

We even went to the doctor about this problem but he just suggested to lose some weight. J has been good about it but I'm not getting my hopes up. I don't think it's a weight problem.

I think good sleep is the only thing I miss about being single.

The Bachelor Party Effect

Who would've thought that bachelor parties would make a guy more caring to his wife?

I was shocked when the day after J attended one such party, he said to me, "Maya, talking to some of the guys made me realise how I don't do enough for you". Imagine my jaw dropping and everything stopping for a moment. Did I hear him correctly?

"One guy had a game planned but he remembered that he promised his wife he would go shopping with her so he canceled." Oh my god!

"I wouldn't expect you to cancel something like that just to go shopping with me," I said honestly.

"I know but is there anything I can do for you?"

After I asked him several times if he was serious and whether he meant what he was saying, I let him know that it would be nice if he didn't get annoyed at me when I got headaches (which has been happening every weekend) because it's not something I could control.

"I'm sorry. I was wrong. I know it's not your fault. I'll be more caring."

It's not often I get to hear that. How I bathed in the sunshine of those words.
