Going out for a quiet, romantic dinner or evening out to watch a movie, or catch up with friends. <br /><br />Now, everything has to be a lot more organised (especially holidays or trips away) and going out for dinner or a movie is very rare.<br /><br />As much as I miss it all, I wouldn't change being a Mummy for the world, I love being a Mummy, yes it's hardwork, but the cuddles and smiles are worth it. ;-)Julie @ Off to the Parkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044812604091459779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012078150698865015.post-68460826750738459972011-04-02T06:46:40.881+10:002011-04-02T06:46:40.881+10:00Thanks for your comments ladies.
Tiffa, quiet mov...Thanks for your comments ladies. <br />Tiffa, quiet movie nights are something Corey really misses. Youight be lucky and get a bub who goes to sleep at 6 and sleeps through to 6, then your nights are free. It hasn't worked that way for us but it does for some. Weekends away. Well we have decided to drive to kempsey twice and gladstone once all with one day notice. It's do-able, but the car is packed to overflowing and a 6 hour trip takes 10 hours. Lol. <br />Kristy, I hear you sweety. Week 3 was hell for me too. * hugs*. You will get through it though. Gimme a bell if you want us to come take Mackenna to the park or something.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16880248015836420161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012078150698865015.post-9492555380943759602011-04-01T22:35:47.023+10:002011-04-01T22:35:47.023+10:00Once again Karlee.... I could have written this b...Once again Karlee.... I could have written this blog post myself... especially after the day I've had. Piper is going through the 3wk, learning how to deal with life outside the womb stage, and surviving on 3 hrs sleep a night just isn't doing it for me at the moment!! I've been on the verge of tears all day and just had a meltdown to my husband, who can do nothing but hug me and let me cry. (It's just sleep deprivation and hormones and I know that when Mackenna does something cute tomorrow it will all be good again, but I can see how many women end up with PND, especially if they don't have supportive husbands.)<br /><br />Anyway... now that I've had a rant... I really miss - my sleep in's (Todd and I used to sleep until 11am on the weekends!), money to 'treat' myself things, rather than having to spend what we do have on my babies (I am happy that I am able to give them everything they need/want though.... just wish there was a bit more to spend some on myself once in a while), my job (I know... but I do... I was good at it and have lots of good friends at work!), intelligent conversation (Todd has stopped listening to me, cause all I talk about is what time Mackenna pooed or how many times she touched the water cooler when I told her no etc. etc.) <br /><br />There are a lot of things I miss actually! I'd keep writing, but this is long enough already (Just like you though, I wouldn't give my kids up for the world ...even when they are awake for 5hrs and counting and not looking like sleeping any time soon and frustrating the begibbers out of me!! :( )Kristynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012078150698865015.post-60393891724103343092011-04-01T17:02:39.866+10:002011-04-01T17:02:39.866+10:00I think I would miss having the ability to decide ...I think I would miss having the ability to decide to have a weekend away somewhere on the spur of the moment.

Mostly for me it's when Rachy's throwing tantrums because she's not getting her own way. If there's something actually wrong, I find it easier because I get grumpy and difficult when something's wrong too. <br />Things I miss from pre-squiddlies: energy, the ability to stay up until ungodly hours hanging out with hubby or friends, the ability to be spontaneous. Wouldn't trade her for the world though :-)Catherinenoreply@blogger.com
