Friday night funny. Not.

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Want to hear the one about the defiant threenager who, upon being told  that the coins she has been saving for a trip into the city to visit Daddy at work have been put away in a safe place because:
a) she had been putting them in her mouth because it’s so funny to see your […]

The sound of one bottom trumpeting

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Lucky me, I contracted a mild gastro bug from young E. By mild I mean I didn’t vomit, but let’s just say that I had a hard time explaining to a newly minted “I can use all the toilets of the world now!” A why Mummy has had to stay close to home and our […]

The wisdom of the not quite parent

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Gather round friends inside the computer, so I can annoy you lot rather than clean the bathroom because E has another explosive poo bug from dog only knows where.
Ahem.
Our holiday to Tassie did not just involve the immediate hissychicks, rather we were accompanied by mr hissychick’s parents and mr hissychick’s brother and pregnant partner. The […]

“Daddy why are you shorter than Mummy? I know…it’s because you have to go to work isn’t it?”

Thank you and goodnight.

Not sulking, sleeping.

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

I have some sleep to catch up on and iron levels to boost before I regale you all with holiday tales (and yes on the whole it was lovely thankyou, despite anything mr hissychick might say on the matter).  Apparently an average four hours sleep a night and forgetting to take iron supplements for two […]

We’re baaackkk!

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

And to celebrate I am going to have a little hissyfit because word farking press just trashed my post.
I’ll be back once I’ve finished sulking (and catching up on your various blogs of course).

Holiday! Celebrate!

Hello people inside the computer. How are you? I’m bursting with fruit flavours.
As you can probably tell from all the nervous giggly energy not only was E’s tummy bug short lived, it was not transferred to anyone else either. Did someone say j to the inx?
The hissychicks are off to Melbourne tomorrow and from there […]

Having a barf

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

Today us hillfolk ventured down to Lollipops Playland with a group of friends and had a great time.  Our mother’s group Mums and Dads got a chance to catch up while our threenagers raced around together, gleefully burning up energy and practically fizzing with sugar enhanced excitement. I also spent a lot of time fielding […]

Bad karma part 2

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

It is only amusing in hindsight, when, mid heated slanging match spirited discussion with your threenager you look up to see your fifteen month old standing at the top of her sister’s 1.5 metre high slippery dip.
You will only laugh afterwards that said toddler actually managed to sit down and safely whizz down said slide […]

Bad karma

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

This morning, for the thousandth time, I offered A the option of doing what I asked or going to the thinking/whinging/please just get the hell away from me chair.
You know what she said?
“That’s not my choice Mummy, they’re YOUR choices. I want MY choice…where’s MY choice… (I started to do the 123 count)…stop counting Mummy…arrrrrggghhh […]
