man and wife

read the sequel, not as good as the original, but what's new. One quote stuck me, it's about single mums ;)

" i'd rather be on my own than with some useless bastard of a man" ... "like his fat arsed father. No arguements, No bitching about who does what. Just me and my boy. The single parent answers to no one. Tell you what i like about it: it's uncomplicated"

Or floating around in shackled dreams

It's not about where you're going

But where you feel you already should have been

man and boy

"my generation were luckier than we knew. We did not have a war waiting for us when we grew up. ... Our wives, that's who we fought with, this generation of men blessed with peace. And the divorce courts, that's where we fought our grubby little wars."... "Which was better? War and perfect love? Or peace and love which came in instalments of five, six, seven years? Who was the real lucky man??"

modern world - anouk

Crazy way to get your kicks
Shoot the silicon in your lips
If your figure makes you sad
They suck the fat right off your back
Make up your mind about your tits girls
They can puff 'm up so no bra will fit girls
There's only one thing they can't fix
No I won't let you be misled
And that's the hole in your head
Can't do nothing 'bout that

Hail hail modern world
Hail to all you boys and girls
Hail hail the colour green
Hail hail to what I've seen
Hail hail hail this modern world

You tell her that she's beautiful
And put her on a pedestal
But as you google triple x
Imagination kicks in
The more you think about sex boys
With someone else the better it gets boys
Do you have a purpose in your life
Besides cheating on you wife
For fuck sake show some sense

These days adoption is a hot thing
You can get a child for nearly nothing
You take them home to a nanny
Buy off your guilt with toys and candy
But all the money that you work for girls
You can't compare it to love boys

There's only one thing they can't fix
No I won't led you be misled
And that's the hole in your head
Can't do nothing about that
Hail hail modern world
Hail to all you boys and girls
Hail hail the colour green
Hail hail to what I've seen
Hail hail hail this modern world

Yeah yeah yeah....

Anouk

9 months

waw, time flies when you're having fun!!!

He spent as much time inside my belly as he spent outside it (nah, actually , that's not completely true but hey, figure of speech and all that jazz...) and he's more and more fantastic every single day. He's up basically all day now, taking a power nap now and again, and then he's loaded with energy and following me around the house or playing godzilla or being naughty and trying to get his hands on the kitty food, or worse the kitty litter or then again, taking the small table for a walk through the living room. In the evening, he is, of course, knackered.

so at his ninth monthday, i took a picture of him enjoying his evening ritual, and his pike (who he loves - thank you sweet George for introducing him to the seaworld, hope you're enjoying NY ;))

hope you're enjoying watching the pictures of my wee boy, cause i love to watch him every second of the day!

josie catching pixies

found this in the park

i knew it was meant for you

thinking about you today

caring about you always

loving you loads

your pixie

plopsaland

yay!

we went to plopsaland and had the bestest of times ever ;) I felt like a kid again, and ilia stayed awake almost all afternoon just so he could enjoy the rides!!!

mummy's day

today was my first mummy's day. I got presents from friends, texts from the boy i love but most importantly: a gift from my son (where, according to the nurses in daycare, he has worked very hard on) and a card as well (his bibi gave him a hand, he's not so good at writting yet... ) ;)

crawling is for woesies!

since i can crawl, i lost my interest. Ok, admit it, it's easy when you want to get somewhere or upset mum by eating catfood... but STANDING is much more fun. I do it everywhere and it's brilliant!!! next step is walking, still need to train that trick.

lama! lama! hooray for lama!!!

lama once went flying, she went to a place where people think they're the best and most brilliant, but they mess up the world. She brought me and (at that time a very huge belly) back a pj's with ELMO. Since, in that country, all the babies are huge, my dearest monster, who's tiny, could actually wear his newborn pj's today, for the very first time. boy, did he love them!

Love my lama, hope to see you next week(end)!

my cousin and me

Amber loved my hair.
I loved her shoes.
it was love at first sight
too bad she's related ;)

busy week

this week has been very busy, with may day and all. On wednesday we went with Elke and her daughter Cindy to Brugge, and had a wonderful time. On thursday we went to Koen and his almost four year old son Arne, and we went to a playground and had fun. In the late afternoon, we went to Hans's house- warming-tea-and-cake-late-afternoon party where we met loads of people and even more little kiddies. On friday we met Goedele and Wim and Ilia's best friend-of-his-age Guust and we had a long walk through Gent, had a delicious pancake and bought nice jewelry ;)

But on saturday, that is today, i went with mum and bibi to the park and relaxed all afternoon! I tried to eat the grass and flowers, and they were delicious!!!

Tomorrow i'll see my second cousin Amber again. Am curious if she has changed any since the last time we met...

guust and me

guust is my friend. he's 3 months younger than me so he's bound to look up to all the tricks i can do... we are about the same height tho... it's good to have a boy my age as a friend!

I (heart) bibi!

yay!

i love my bibi!

ans she loves me

kittyfood! mmmm!!!!

Yep, as ilia turned 8 months on wednesday, and he crawls through the house, he decided that it was time for a different diet... kitty food.

In de end, decided that it wasn't as good as he hoped it would be... the cats, yep, both of them, were very relieved ;))

to Andy

crawling!

friday, ilia crawled to me, probably because he was so happy with his new room that he wanted to hug me. He hasn't quite crawled forward today, he did crawl in every possible direction, just not forward. ;)

bath time

we did some springcleaning this weekend and ilia was so dirty from eating cookies and moving around in the dust, that he went in his bath. he loves bathing and playing in the water ;)

my battle with the teamug

I was washing the dishes earlier tonight, after having had a wonderful homecooked dinner. As i opened the kitchencloset, a purple milka cowish teamug fell out. Of course my hands were slippery and wet and i tried to catch it, but i failed miserably... Eventually, after what seemed to last an hour, but must have taken a couple of seconds, the teacup broke on my forehead. I can tell you: it hurt like hell! I was getting dizzy and felt something sticky and warm running down my eyebrow and cheek (no, there was no actual tea involved)... Yep, blood was gushing out (a little exaggeration, but that's me eh!) and i almost fainted (no exaggeration here tho). So i went to sit on the floor, took a towel on my way, and tried to stop the wound from bleeding. It wasn't as bad as it seemed, and it's mainly on my eyebrow, so it won't leave a scar (damn!) but it's bruised and will probably be black and blue and a little bloody tomorrow. Oh, and i have a major headache... But most of all, when i was sitting on the floor, realising what had just happened, i just laughed my socks off...

meeting friends

yesterday; i met my friend Elke and Ilia met his friend Cindy. We had fun, like we always have ;) and took some adorable pictures. Ilia even had a bit of my cottage pie! I drank the guinness myself ;)

bathtime at omie's!

ilia has his bath in the bathroom sink today... it's small but it fits ;)
