Changes...

So, spring has sprung and my intentions to post pictures of my beautiful yellow roses have been ruined by miserable weather for the last few days. Plus I've been too busy. No more excuses, the sun's finally out today and I'll have some spring pictures up on Monday.

I don't have much to write about today (or this week in fact, sorry)... I've finally realised why I'm so exhausted; I'm finally sleeping. I don't know whether it's the weather or personal happiness, but seriously, I haven't slept this well since well before Jake was born. Usually, I climb into bed at whatever time and read my book for a little bit. I turn out the lights and lie there, waiting for sleep. Out of sheer frustration, I would end up turning the lights back on and reading some more... roll on midnight... By 2am, I'm normally frantic for sleep after having read for 3 or 4 hours, eaten everything in sight and had a cup of tea, but the more frustrated I would get, the less chance I had of falling asleep. My old trick was to try to stay awake. It's not that easy and eventually I would manage to pass out, only to be woken by either the dogs or the child a few moments later and I'd have to start all over again. Things have changed though - I sleep like a log!! If I get woken up by the dogs (they go out during the night at least once, a few weeks ago they were up 13 times though!), I can go back to sleep again without a problem. It's amazing and I can't help but wonder if everyone else sleeps like this all the time. Fingers crossed that it lasts :)

Anyway, hope you all have wonderful weekends planned. The weather here today is beautiful and has me longing for summer!! Jake has a function at school tonight and I'm going to a soup evening at Buitenverwachting with the book club girls. I don't have much else planned for the weekend. my cousin's wife is staying with me till next Friday, while she does a course on cochlear implants, so I'm sure we'll be busy with her.

Till next week!
