My Boyfriend Is A Twat » birthday http://www.myboyfriendisatwat.com Thu, 05 May 2011 20:08:36 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 1989 http://www.myboyfriendisatwat.com/2010/06/1989/ http://www.myboyfriendisatwat.com/2010/06/1989/#comments Thu, 24 Jun 2010 11:13:56 +0000 Zoe http://www.myboyfriendisatwat.com/?p=2814 That was definitely a year to remember. I waddled around like a beached up whale, ate extremely healthy, exercised a lot and generally felt good about myself as I was due to give birth on 24 June. All I knew was that I wasn’t expecting just the one baby, but two, but had no idea whether I was to give birth to a boy and girl, two boys or two girls. Simply because I didn’t want to.

And so my partner and I had four names ready and after a lot of huffing and puffing and three hard pushes, I gave birth to a girl who was called Coralie. I loved holding my newborn child so much that my gynaecologist had to remind me that I still had another baby inside me so could I hand Coralie over to her father and get pushing again?

With one single push I gave birth to another girl – Tatiana. Both of my babies were covered in mucus and looked pretty revolting in all honesty, but they were mine, had been a part of me for nine months so naturally I thought they were beautiful.

And all this happened 21 years ago.

Happy birthday, Coralie and Tatiana!

Monday – I looked for jobs and watched TV.

Tuesday – I looked for jobs and went on my shopping date.  I also cleaned the kitchen, watched TV and was told by the Ex to clean my gutters.

Wednesday – I looked for jobs, prepared supper early and watched TV.

Thursday – I’ll look for jobs, clean the kitchen, have lunch with Tatiana and watch TV.

So the highlight of today is having lunch with Tatiana and having received LOST 5 from the Twat before he dashed out of the front door to a conference.  I obviously do other things such as check the letter box, send emails, talk to myself but the reality is that this is a really bad time to be out of a job for many reasons such as this darn weather and I may well lose the house next year.  Once this mood sets in it takes a lot to get out of it.

On the other hand, had I not been at home I’d not have seen the parakeets so close to my window, nor the green woodpecker, and I’m really grateful for that.  Nor would I have become more adventurous with my cooking and cleaning so all in all it’s not bad.  I miss going out, that’s true, but I can’t wait for the warmer weather so that I can go cycling around this village, collect my free dustbin bags, send off about 6 packages and lose weight.

I’m going to have a fun day, starting in the kitchen.  Snow is forecast for tomorrow if the forecast can be relied upon, but my snowdrops look lovely.  All the other flowers seem to be having trouble appearing although I think my wild daffodils are faintly protruding through the sodden earth.

Numbers can be so deceiving.
