What’s in a name?

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

Seeing as toddlerdaddy was the first to slip up I may as well formally introduce you-by first names- to the hissychick clan.  So listen up peoples, as I may (or may not) only say this once: Me= Emily, mostly known as Em. Mr hissychick= James, the Jimbob and other assorted nicknames that I won’t print [...]

Frustrated Inc.

Friday, July 25th, 2008

Many of the world’s great writers have been inspired by the darker human emotions, and written pieces of breathtaking beauty and complexity when the black clouds of depression or the hot fires of anger have threatened to overwhelm them. I just become a rather shitty writer of trite nonsense, with far too much inane whining [...]

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 [...]

Meh

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

Was all set to give you all the full story behind mr hissychick’s somewhat oblique fish related comments…until E decided it was her turn to interrupt her parent’s meagre ration of child free evening time. Again. Between E’s recent refusals to bed down for the night, sometimes alone but mostly tag teaming with, A, both [...]

Can’t blog, must tidy

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Need some sense of space and order. Clean lines= calm mood = much better behaved Mummy…right? RIGHT? Sigh. Somebody around here has ordered a large serve of PMS with extra severe mood swings and I’m bloody well not happy about it. (I hope disposable nappy bags and breast pads aren’t too toxic because E has [...]

Just when you thought it was safe. And stuff.

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Yes dear internets, I am baaaaccckk. My mini blogging break* is over, and I am hoping that I am now sufficiently clear of mind to recommence blogging with gusto, eloquence, wit and vigour. I’ll stop laughing when you do. Anyway, a good fun and chocolately Easter was had by mr and mrs and the little [...]

Taking a mini break

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Dear internets, I am going to take a mini break from posting* but I’ll be back next week.  I need to ignore the fact that I am turning 32 on Saturday spend some quality time with my family over the Easter break stressing myself stupid over E’s refusal to breastfeed after her first morning feed [...]

(Non) domestic goddess

Monday, March 10th, 2008

The Anzac biscuits that A and I baked today may not actually have the look or even proper consistency of correctly prepared home baked goodies. But dammit, even doughy goo can be so moreish. You guessed it folks, I have nothing profound to say. So I won’t. I’m off to google “My almost nine month [...]

Next on my list is a Pulitzer

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Remember, dear people inside the computer, how I mentioned in passing that I am a published author? Today is as good a time to share with you the highlights from my career to date. My first published piece earned me $5, a princely sum when you are eleven years old. I earned this cash via [...]

Why I blog

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

As I said earlier, I’ve been tagged by the lovely and talented Averil and my task is to explain why I blog. Apparently I am to provide you with three reasons as to why I choose to inflict my often inane drivel on you people inside the computer. Hmm. Allow me to pause and gather [...]
