Going bogue
« Previous EntriesPNFFS
Tuesday, May 18th, 2010It’s fair to say that I am suffering from PNFFS. PNFFS, in case both you and the mental health professionals didn’t know, stands for Post Natal For Fark’s Sake. And it as exactly as it sounds. I am tired. I am anxious. I can’t focus. I go from loving to monster mama in three nanoseconds [...]
The nerve
Friday, April 30th, 2010I have a great mother’s group. We have been meeting weekly since miss A was a teeny tacker- a record five years or so- and I mostly love my friends. There are exceptions to every rule. Today was at my place and I was happy to see everyone…bar one. Tell me, why would anyone bring [...]
Somnolence
Sunday, March 14th, 2010It’s hard to tell whether it’s merely sleep deprivation, or something else. Just know that the thought of attempting to blog induces a sense of anxiety in this hissychick right now, because I know I should be recording precious moments and yet I feel. so. damn. tired. And guilty. And detached. And that it’s not [...]
And so that was Christmas but we’ve only just begun..
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009Those of you that endure my status updates on Farcebook will already know that Christmas 2009 chez hissychick was not quite the festive and relaxed affair that I had hoped for. Instead, the husband decided to get out of Christmas lunch with the inlaws and opening/assembling any further craptastic plastic toys by developing pancreatitis and, [...]
No.
Sunday, December 13th, 2009I am slothing around here at home. Alone. Which for those of you who have done the whole almost full term gig before know is sheer bliss. Necessary space when you already have two other boisterous non day sleeping kidlets. While my two ratbags are enjoying Santa photos and treats with the grandparents and mr [...]
The prodigal blogger
Friday, November 20th, 2009Hi there, remember me? I know, I know, I have not been the bestest blogger of late. It’s just that I don’t do the third trimester well. More specifically, I don’t do the sleep deprivation from flailing around in bed like a beached whale coupled with mood swings from massive hormonal surges at all. I [...]
Sorry sweetheart, the space-time continuum is unfortunately out of Mummy’s reach
Saturday, August 8th, 2009“Why do the days keep going around and around Mummy? Make them stop, they’re too quick!” Good question darling A. Somehow I find myself eighteen and a half weeks pregnant, which should not be so surprising to me given the size of my belly and the random kicks from within. Our major scan where we [...]
Sleep (and lack thereof)
Thursday, July 9th, 2009I am beginning to understand why some parents give Phenergan to their kids.
I will blog again
Sunday, June 21st, 2009…so much to tell you but a little hard to type when you are spending most of your ‘free’ time trying to get your as of last Thursday two year old to go to bed (hers) and stay in bed (ends up mine), never mind actually sleep. Naps are passe, and the nights are not [...]
Not sure I’ll be shopping at our local Coles again anytime soon
Saturday, April 25th, 2009I had my first out of body experience in our local supermarket today, so acute was my embarrassment at what A said and did in front of an ill prepared mummy audience. (Pausing to take a gulp of wine) My four year old…she….oh…she…. (Another swig of sweet alcoholic relief) …ok let me brace myself and [...]
