Insomnia
Insomnia is something that comes and goes in my life. Like some kind of errant teenage boyfriend, taunting me, occupying my thoughts, wearing me out. He, let's call him he, is visiting at present. His usual visiting hours begin at around one am. Having gone to sleep reasonably easily by eleven pm I am suddenly, inexplicably woken and there he is. We go over and over stuff. Work stuff, tax stuff, money stuff, love stuff, family stuff, stuff that happened at university, at school, the list is endless. Almost every situation that has occurred in my life that is, or has ever, made me uneasy ...
Playing it cool
Ok, so I wasn't going to ask. Really, I wasn't. But now that you've mentioned it, you did yes, well, yes, I have been nominated for a Mad Baby Blog award. *Whoops* jbmumofone.com has been nominated for the Best MAD Baby Blog Award. Sounds pretty cool huh. But I think I need more nominations to make the short-list, though am not really sure how it all works. So, if you wanted to, not that I'm asking you to or anything, you could click below and nominate me via the very simple form. You know, if you have time. Not that I'm asking. *Whistles* Oh, sod it, ...
Ten things I tell myself every day
I have been tagged in this lovely new meme by its creator, the wonderful Mum of Three Boys. She has shared with us the 10 things she tells herself on a daily basis and is asking us to do the same. Isn't talking to yourself the first sign of madness? Or is that asking yourself if it is the first sign? I forget. So my ten daily doses of wisdom, questions and angst... Five more minutes....*yawn* Tetley tea = breakfast. It has calcium and vitamins...right? The scales are clearly broken again. ANOTHER grey hair. Are you kidding me? Is it time for W's nap yet? Do ...

Sorry for the delay in this weeks game folks. Better late then never eh? So, this week we are playing... "I spy with my little eye something beginning with D."

Absent Parenting
Today I feel like a very much absent parent. I went to work today. Yep it is Saturday but needs must. The grandparents kindly stepped in to look after W. I came home. I was greeted by much excitement and a walking boy. I had missed his first steps. Because I was at work. I am heartbroken. And angry. Angry at myself for not being there. Angry at my husband...for things that are mostly beyond his control so that is not fair. Angry at the grandparents for not just lying to me, putting him to bed at his bedtime instead of waiting up to show me, and letting me think ...

Self-hosting…
We have done it folks! Well a very clever Wordpress bod has done it, and Mum of One is now self-hosted. *Unclenches jaw* Phew. Whoop! Hurrah! Kinda looks the same from here doesn't it? That is a good thing. Behind the scenes it is all looking a wee bit different though so my apologies if you notice the odd glitch in the next week or so. I also appear to maybe have lost a few e-mail subscribers in the transfer so if any of you are not getting my posts in your inbox, you should be able to re-subscribe top-right-ish. Over there look *points*. Right, am off ...
Overheard: In a bar
This happened. For real. In a rather lovely, bit swish, hotel bar. Early evening. Drunk Guy: You look a bit like that one from Blur Waiter: *Politely* Which one Sir? Drunk Guy: The one that looks like you. That's the easiest way to remember it. Waiter: The one who... Drunk Guy: *Interrupts* Like Peter Crouch. You look like Peter Crouch. Waiter: Oh. I'm a bit offended. Drunk Guy's Girlfriend: *Slurs* But you've got a really, really fit wife. Waiter: Except, I haven't. I am not Peter. I don't have a wife. I am eighteen. Drunk Guy: Yeah, you look like ...
