August 11th, 2016.
I don't know if it's the aftermath of the weekend, the weather being generally rubbish or what, but I feel a bit meh at the moment.
DS is so lovely to be around; he's such a cheeky chappy and makes me smile. He is very good at walking with an aid, either me holding his hands or holding his walker, so I'm presuming it's only a matter of time before he takes his first steps unaided. How my boy is growing!
Had a bit of an admin day today, sorted about some things and did some behind-the-scenes-blogging stuff. We had homemade chili for tea with sweet potato wedges and I'm currently sipping on a mug of peppermint tea before I go to bed.
NSD too, to boot
Happy Thursday xBe who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

The weather hasn't been great here but it's been nice to have a break from the hot weather, IMO.
Your son will be walking unaided in no time. It's such a milestone but within a few weeks you'll likely be tearing your hair out, I remember when my son started walking he seemed to be everywhere we didn't want him to be. :rotfl: 2018 totals:
Savings £11,200
Mortgage Overpayments £5,5000 -
Admin and behind the scenes bloggiting and sorting and slightly iffy weather, they're all leading to "meh" if you ask me.
Hopefully it all looks better tomorrow 2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
I need to get back into setting smaller goals, daily lists and find some motivation from somewhere.
I feel a bit down today; I think it's because I'm aware that I only have two weeks left of holiday and then I'm back at work. I am absolutely loving being on holiday with DS, as it's like being back on maternity leave. I don't want to have to leave him again
even though he's fine with it!
So, my to do list for today:- Write a blog post
- Hoover living room
- Empty dishwasher and put cups in
- Tidy up kitchen
- NSD?
Right, plodding along as always!Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
