Sleep... What's That Again?!

It's currently 8:41pm and all I can hear is Darcie playing in her cot. 

We're finding night time very difficult at the moment and I'm very unsure what to do... she seemingly just wants me to cuddle her to sleep and to be honest as much as I love it I think its time for some tough love!

I'm going to try crying it out... 

I know, I know I said in a previous post its something I couldn't do BUT this just can't go on! She is getting bigger now she needs to learn to sleep on her own so here goes... Join me on tonight's experience....

8:45pm Darcie has started crying, I'm going to leave her 5 mins like suggested...

Two mins in and I want to kill myself!

Three mins she is hysterical... Can I do this?!

Ok so I managed to do the five mins... Its now 9:20pm and I have only just stopped her from crying and shaking!

Anyone that knows Darcie, knows she is very independent little lady and very rarely cries, so to see her like that is shocking! I praise anyone that has the strength to do crying it out, but I just can't, call me weak, I just can't do it!

Will have to try something else tomorrow....

Snow Day #4

Check out my pjs.... Tesco bargain!!!

Yes we had ANOTHER snow day!!

We had a huge amount of snow last night, making the roads a complete nightmare, hence another closure. On this snow day, we met up with Jason and Kristina again for coffee and a bite to eat, yummy. Then we came home and me and Darcie got our PJ's on for a lazy afternoon... resulting in a two hour nap! Bliss!

We are due more snow tonight, Jamie finishes work at 1am... fingers crossed he doesn't have another treacherous journey home.

Our Weekend

This weekend has been a lovely one, Jamie's brother, Jason, recently got engaged to a lovely girl called Kristina and this weekend we finally got to meet her!

A bit odd you may think but she is from California so logistics have stopped this from happening! So on Saturday we went to Norwich and showed her the sights and then had a nice meal at Bella Italia. This morning we ventured into our local town and had breakfast, lovely!

Its been nice to catch up with Jason too, as due to him being in the Army we rarely get to see him.

Didn't take many pictures this weekend, as I didn't want to shove a camera in her face on our first meeting!! hehe!

I wish them all the happiness in the world

Darcie Clapping At Seven Months

I can't believe I forgot to post this yesterday, so there will be two blog posts from me today... 

This is a little video of my munchkin clapping, now she has learnt to do it is all she seems to want to do!!! Too cute!!

Snow Day #3

Yup three days off work due to the snow, glorious! 

Today has been uneventful, after getting the email to say the school would be shut today. Jamie (as promised) let me have a lay in, lovely except I was already wide awake! However just being able to laze around in my nice and cosy bed was wonderful, something I never appreciated before Darcie!

So other than my lovely lazy morning today has been pretty boring. House tided, food shop done (Morrison's was hideously busy) ready for what should be a very nice and exciting weekend, if the weather doesn't ruin it!

Hope you all enjoy the snow, and doesn't prove too much of a nuisance.

Throw Back Thursday #1

Mine and Jamie's anniversary is just around the corner, so I have been reminiscing over old times...

Very poor picture quality but this was our first picture as a couple... we were 17 years old!!! That was almost 7 years ago...

Grab a cup of tea and nice book... What Are You Reading?

I love a good book, to get lost in a book beats any movie or t.v series (yes even The Vampire Diaries... now do I mean that? I am pretty much obsessed... ok everything other than TVD). To get lost in a book is my time to escape.

Currently I am reading Miranda Harts, It's Just Me.

Its brilliant! Written in true Miranda form, she discusses topics like Hobbies and Technology to her younger 18 year old self... trying to explain email and twitter... SUCH FUN!

A nice and easy read, that lifts my mood instantly. What are you reading at the moment?
