Time out

Friday, June 27th, 2008

All the usual signs are there: The bogan non parenting The lack of interest in anything. The irritation at the monotony of it all. The lack of motivation to start, let alone finish any of the number of little projects that I could work on. I’ve been given my warnings, I’ve counted to three. It’s [...]

In trouble. Again.

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Mr hissychick is currently a bit pouty. The reason? My mosaic, wherein I revealed my latest celebrity crush to be Jemaine and Bret from Flight of the Conchords. The fact that I have a crush on two rather funny blokes should come as no surprise to all of you inside the computer. It’s fairly obvious [...]

Dismissed

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Me: So what did you do at preschool today? A (ignoring me):…………… Me (a few moments later): A, did you have fun today? What sorts of things did you do? A (ignoring me again):…… Me (persisting after a short pause): Painting? Dress ups? Play…. A (sighing and cutting me off): Mummy, I don’t know. I’ll [...]

Mosaic

Rather than regale you with scary tales from the toilet bowl, where I just discovered for myself exactly what happens when you eat cake with black icing (ahem), I thought I’d do a Friday fluff post. The idea is not mine, and has been doing the rounds of some favourite blogs of mine, although I [...]

A series of firsts

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

First birthday girl smiles after the first full night of sleep in ages*:   First birthday present: (OK, I cheated, that was an early birthday present and photo taken last week.) First birthday present received today: First birthday cake (and here I break my own rules so you can see said cake in full colour): [...]

Thanks

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

Thank you everyone, for your lovely comments/emails.  You provided some much needed support and encouragement just when I needed it most. I am happy to report that last night E did a whole lot better than usual, only waking at 9:30, followed by 1:30, resettling herself at 5 ish before waking at 6 for a [...]

And the prosecution rests its case

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Internets, I would dearly love to be writing you a somewhat witty and uplifting post about the fact that E and I will be celebrating a twelve month breastfeeding relationship on her birthday this Wednesday.  Or details of the latest clever, insightful and hilarious conversation I have had with A.  But now is not the [...]

It was one small step for E…

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Between three and sixteen actually. Yes, our littlest miss has officially taken her first steps.  Of course her very first three were witnessed by mr hissychick because, naturally, they happened behind my back as I was tucking A into bed.  The next three were the classic walk to Mum with an excited grin on your [...]

“Mummy, you should go to work. Daddy needs to stay at home ‘cos it would be better that way. He’s fun.”

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Precisely the boost to the self esteem that I needed today.  And it was professed without prompting, so I can’t even blame mr hissychick. Then again, just how seriously should I take something uttered by a little person who keeps trying to climb into the television to join Iggle Piggle, Upsy Daisy, Gavin*, and Bobo [...]

Of comfort toys and the comedic stylings of the threenager

Friday, June 6th, 2008

E has given her beloved Snugzee a new name, and that is “Dee dee”. It’s so cute to see her cruise/crawl to her cot when she’s tired, exclaim “Dee!Dee!” as she drags said comfort toy through the bars of her cot and gives him a big cuddle. He’s not just a sleeptime friend anymore either. [...]
