Moonlighting as a single mum…

No, I am not really a single mum all of a sudden, but I guess the next couple of days, I’ll feel what it could be like.
Hubby Dearest has started a new job today, and his first few days require him to be away from us overnight. He’s never done that before, his previous job didn’t require it.
But today, it’s just me and the munchkins! It’s kind of weird to be honest! Usually its me and the kids who might go away for a few days, to visit my parents, and Daddy is left at home, and this time it’s the opposite!
Need to eat, get the bins ready for disposal tomorrow morning, do everything I usually do, for tomorrow, but when its bed time, there isn’t one more person to call upstairs to wish the children goodnight.
Again, thank you Skype, we’ll be utilising you most definitely!
Then comes my bed time… I’ll need Sonu Singh next to me so I don’t feel lonely…not that he’ll stay there! It’ll be a different feeling, knowing he’s not by my side…
Roll on the next few days please, I need my man back!
Thank you Skype!

Well, I have now officially been an aunt for 6 days and I can honestly say I have not stopped smiling! I have cheek strain, in fact!!!
The only downer to my immense happiness… We won’t be able to get baby cuddles for a while yet… Because they are all the way in Finland, and we’re here in England. Â So, factoring in weather, cost of tickets and school holidays, it’s not an easy ask…
So, here’s where the post header comes in, thank goodness for Skype! So far we have had 3 wonderful face to face calls, and my nephew gives me smiles!!!!!! (Ok, I know, could be wind, but apparently it’s only me, and his mummy’s brother, his uncle from the Finnish contingent, that gets these ‘smiles’!) to hear those little whimpers and gurgles… Oh I just want to reach into my screen and pick him up!
The children are so happy to see him, so proud to be big brother and big sister to him, and even the kitten has been informed he is no longer the youngest in the family!!
And Hubby Dearest, well. He just melts… Who’s getting clucky now then, eh??!
But seriously, I’m so glad to have this chance to be a part of my nephew’s life, albeit by screen, from a young age. At least he’ll know us, and recognise our voices, so when we do descend en masse, he won’t be totally overwhelmed (a little bit, perhaps!) when we smother him with our hugs and kisses!
Today I was speaking with my brother and junior and he was unsettled… So I sang a silly song to him, and it calmed him down. See, from so far away, I can still do this!! I love it!!
So, thanks again Skype!!! Â You’re helping us create precious moments we wouldn’t be able to have without you!
But I Smile Anyway...
