I can not believe how quickly time is going at the moment and it has been super busy in my house that's for sure!
My partner's younger brother is with us at the moment which is fun. Its been good getting to know him.
I have been trying to go to the gym a lot more lately which has been happening because someone else is here to watch Little Miss Samantha : ) so I must admit I have been enjoying that but I am exhausted it is a bit of work having an extra person to take care of that's for sure.
We have had alot of fun though, going to aquarium and shopping and down the coast it's been lots of fun.
Today is Good Friday already so I have my fish already for me to cook tonight, so I am looking forward to that YUMMY!

It's been a while
I haven't written anything for a while, mainly because I have been unsure what to write about. Lots has been happening though.
My friends and I went to the Usher concert it was amazing!!! We had wonderful seats and it was just a really good night out.
The biggest news I have at the moment is that Tinashe's youngest brother is coming to visit us for 2 1/2 weeks which is very exciting. I have never meet him and he has not meet Samantha yet, I am a little nervous though which I guess is to be expected when you want to make a good impression but still be yourself and not put on some fake personality. I am sure it will be great.
These two wonderful things have kept me going the last few weeks. I have a little bit of an emotional roller coaster and it's something I have not appreciated to say the least. I guess sometimes the stress of having a toddler and keeping a house(which I must say is NOT my forte) and trying to balance relationships and finance's has just all built up and i have dropped the balls so to say. I have a break down moment where I just wanted to cry but I thought of the great and exciting things that are happening and that helped me a lot. I am still a little stressed out but as much as before I have just thought about things in a new way and I am feeling a little better.
My friends are all planning 21st at the moment and of course mine is coming up very soon, in fact my friends whose birthday's are after mine are all ready organised and have sent out invites and all that jazz where as I am still in deciding mode of what I am going to do... Obviously nothing to crazy (can NOT afford it, that's for sure) but maybe just something at our house and possibly go out with my friends after that... Just an option.
Well I am sure I will work something out.

Sink or swim
My bf and I have been taking our daughter to swimming lessons every week for quite a few months now and Samantha just does NOT enjoy it!
See spends half the time upset and the other half holding onto me like a Koala! Poor Baby, I feel bad that she doesn't like it but she will get used to it right?!
She does like the social interaction that she gets, I think being an only child can be lonely sometimes I mean how long till playing with mummy is just not as exciting anymore ha ha
It's good for her, I just don't like it when she is upset. No Mummy wants to see there baby upset :(
We will persist, it is a very important skill for her to learn and in the long run it is better for her : ) so I am sure she will learn to LOVE IT!

For the love of books
So I have recently decided that I desperately need to start reading again, I used to do this all time before having my daughter but lately I have found myself to busy to try and find a good book, I am sure you know the type that one book you just couldn't possibly put down until you have read one more page and before long you have finished the whole thing and you are thirsty for more... Well thet's what I want
Well I will start searching and see what I come up with. The search is on!
To be continued...

What's mine is now yours
I became a mummy 18 months ago and discovered I was going to become a mummy 27 months ago or almost 2 1/2 years ago if you want to look at it that way, anyway going off track... So you would think that by now I would be very much used to the idea of being Number 2 and that everything I do now is not really decided by me, it is now all revolved around my beautiful little girl Samantha.
So I am sure that I am at the point where I don't even need to think about it I just do whatever is needed to make sure she is happy, healthy and all the rest but is it such a bad thing for me to want someone to look after me just a little bit? HA HA
So I am thinking about this seriously (I can do that sometimes) whilst I am typing and maybe it is?! Who would really say such a thing, how terrible of me to even think it let alone write it down for the world to see... Right?!
Well honestly I think wrong! I mean I am by no means any kind of expert but I have a feeling that at one point or another all mother's may have even a tiny, minuscule similar feeling to this.
I must say though having my partner be there to guide and help me and give me some much needed adult communication and a bit of attention is certainly a must have! I love it when it is just us for some one on one time, by one on one time I mean when we actually get our princess to sleep in her cot and we both crash in bed from exhaustion, its just the two of us then... In dreamland ha ha!
Being a Mum has been and is the most amazing and enriching time of my life, even if it is a bit Manic from time to time.
So I hope you will enjoy the ride with me
