Even in the toughest times I want to blog at least once a month. The last month has been one of those. Well.. there are still a few days left before the end of the month but at least today is practically Dani's last day of work. Help is near!
I've been babysitting for the last 3 weeks, alone, at home with 13 months old Jonathan. Make no mistake, I love him to bits. Yet it is hard work. I thought studying for college finals was hard, no, med school was probably harder, but no, parenting, yes, parenting not babysitting as he is MY son, is the hardest.
My mum of course will say the hardest times are yet to come, wait till he goes to school, gets his car licence, relationship troubles.. you name it. My mum is of the view that you don't stop being a parent - till you die. She is forever proud that she "stayed at home" for 2 years when I was born, no outings, no movies, no dinners out, nothing. She is, that dedicated.
Of course there are other things to blog about; I finished my fellowship in Calgary this month, the movers came and packed everything a few days ago. We will sell our car next week, and we're leaving Calgary next Friday! Goodbye to this city which we have called home for the last 1.5 years.
Jonathan is having his nap at the moment, after the longest tantrums. I have kind of figured that when he throws a tantrum, it's either milk, food, play, sleep, or diaper, roughly in that order. Instead of cleaning up the house, checking emails, I thought, today, was the time to blog this month.
