bathroom musings

Hey, I dunno what I’m feeling

I’ll burst into tears over nothing

I’ll snap at you for no reason

And then wonder why you’re not cuddling

I’m gonna miss being the oven

But you can’t wait til I get shovin

Oh baby I know it’s not been easy

But every girl goes a little crazy

Could be any day now

The tension builds and then fades away now

I know you do the best you can

To be a good and patient man

You know I don’t mind if we live in a box right on the border

I don’t mind having old things if we can’t afford it

All I care about is you and me,

Raising a loving family

Spread the love to several corners of the globe

Trust in life and know that we will cope

To cope is to be alive

Alive means that we can thrive if we choose to.

And when they fly the nest, or when we’ve kicked them out

We’ll still have eachother

We’ll travel to Calcutta

In a caravan

I’ve begun the 37th week of my pregnancy and definitely on the homestretch now, although it doesn’t feel like it. 

Me and baby have grown fairly comfortable with one another. Sure, sometimes I feel the discomforts of pregnancy, and there’s the difficulty sleeping and weird increase in pins and needles in the arms, and cramps in the legs, but.. I can’t and don’t really complain. I honestly think this is the most amazing thing in my life and it’s just… a miracle to be happening all within my body on such a physical as well as spiritual level.

Emotions have been up and down and they take their toll on my relationship with baby’s daddy… but I know I’m so lucky. I knew from quite early on that I wanted to give this man a child. He’s the most caring and sweet man..who quite simply, just thinks people should nice. You know how you just think, this person is meant to care for someone? I mean, I could lap it up all myself and just let him care for me, but.. I felt he really needed a child in his world, and, I’d finally found someone I wanted to have one with. A gentle giant.. :)

It’s so strange how that can happen.. If you’d asked me not too long before I met him, I might have told you, “I don’t know if I want to have kids. It’s not a definite in my life, although I know it’d be an amazing, life changing experience”. Well, I certainly didn’t anticipate trying for a baby until later in life.. but it just goes to show, you don’t know ANYTHING about where life can take you! Somehow I just knew I was ready when we started trying, and it was time.

I have stopped working and spend a lot of time at home, resting with baby, reading up recipes and learning how to be a better cook and healthier person. Trying to be a better person and partner. Also doing research on the practicalities of motherhood. Seems like there’s SO much information, but deep down, I know that I know the essentials already. It feels so innate, so natural, and people must learn to trust their instincts.

Since investing a new oven, I’ve gone a lil crazy and obsessed with learning how to bake! You can follow my other blog I’ve just started up http://www.tbgcooks.tumblr.com which will be dedicated to my culinary adventures. 

Thanks for checking in on me, and stick around if you wanna keep me company on wherever the journey takes me !

So if you’re in Thailand and would like to volunteer, this is an excellent idea and doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg. Volunteering here (and anywhere) is one of the best ways to get that special experience you’re searching for on your travels, as well as building a hopefully good relationship and impression with the local people.

There are SO many volunteer opportunities in Thailand.. SO MANY it’s actually mind boggling once you tap into the network. I’ve volunteered in Chiang Mai, Mae Tawo, Mae Hong Son, and Mae Sot so I speak from that experience. (Click here to watch a video montage of my volunteering clips)

deanwinchesterlikesporn asked: Hi Cherry!! I was just wondering, where could I buy your music? I really love your old songs such as Restless and Leaves in the Wind and I would like to opportunity to download them.

hey there! thanks for your msg.

To download “Restless” you can visit http://www.restlessbeings.org and follow the link on the side. All proceeds go towards the charity’s project so that would be great!

Otherwise, you can also find my stuff on iTunes if you search me up as “TheBathroomGirl” . I have an EP called “Following My Feet” with tracks that you can sample :)
