Posted by Happy leap day!
Ok, yes, I disappeared. Just when you thought you could count on me to stick around I vanished without a say. Long story short… I’ve had a few work issues that I had to sort out so I’ve been rather distracted. When I say “sort out”, there was little I could sort out, but it formed a huge distraction nonetheless. It’ll probably make for an intriguing read, so maybe I’ll write a post on it one day in a few months. Until then I’m just going to keep quiet. Who knew that was possible, eh?
So, what else has been happening? The OddDaughter is doing much better with sleeping through the night. I bribe her with a pound coin for every night she sleeps through without waking up asking me to sing her a song, or walking into our room. Problem is, I don’t have many pound coins. In fact, I don’t have much cash on me at all. I’m pretty much cashless these days. I don’t even carry a card. I pay for everything using my Apple Watch. Yes, I’m ‘that’ guy. And I’ve had enough stick about looking like a knob when paying for things – but it’s convenient for me, so shut it.
But yeah, OddDaughter sleeping better. But the biggest issue I’m having with her at the moment is her lack of listening to me. It drives me crazy and I have to admit I can no longer keep my patience. I ask her to eat her dinner, and she decides to go play with her toys, I ask her to go brush her teeth, and she makes her way downstairs to help herself to some snacks. The worst thing though? Mrs OddFather will ask her to do something, and she’ll listen! Arghhhhhh. It’s not that she doesn’t follow orders… even if I speak to her or ask her a question about her day she just carries on doing whatever she is as if I’m invisible. It seems to be a running theme in my life.
Anyway – that’s my insecurities and I’ll deal with them. One day. Along with the constant stress I’m feeling. Good job we don’t have anything else going on in our lives. I dunno, something like having another baby!
Yep – Mrs OddFather is still pregnant. In fact she can be due any day/hour/minute now. She’s well though, aside from feeling uncomfortable. I think we’re ready. Bags all set, cot and nursing chair ready… mentally unstable… yep, all set! I kid, all is well, and I’m looking forward to something good to happen this year after a lot of shit stuff. At least baby didn’t come on leap day. Mrs OddFather was keen for it, but I wasn’t. I mean we’d end up celebrating the birthday on 1st March, despite the baby being a February baby. Oh yeah, that’s because yesterday was Mrs OddFather’s birthday. We planned to go out for a meal, but in the end she much preferred to get a take out and have a relaxing evening. Can’t argue with that.
Don’t think these posts will be daily, I’ll just do them as and when. Though whenever I say that I end up posting daily anyway. I guess I’ll catch you all tomorrow then.
