Lucky eight. Weeks that is.

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

By some wierd and random act of your choice of deity I find myself with a baby who is asleep and two kidlets at the pool with mr hissychick. In other words I actually have a chance to blog. There is so much to catch upon, so much to tell you but as I am [...]

ZOMG

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

I have a five year old who starts school tomorrow even though I am positive I only brought her home from hospital last week. A two and a half year old who has completely toilet trained herself and starts Physie classes next week. A five week old who already rolls from her back to her [...]

A long overdue update

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

Is there anything more lovely than having your two year old boldly announce to the midwife that we are here to see the baby in Mummy’s tummy before up your top and giving your scarily protuberant 28.5 week belly a kiss? Or seeing your own look of proud joy reflected in the face of your [...]

Where we are at

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

First offer on house today!  Baby kicks now felt externally! I took two children to the movies and not only survived but enjoyed the experience (Ponyo is well worth it, a refreshing change from the usual American schmaltz and a great introduction to Anime for the kidlets)! E is using words such as ridiculous and [...]

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, 2009

I 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 [...]

“Hey my Mummy’s a scientist. Listen.To.Her!”

Friday, April 17th, 2009

As said by A to her auntie during lunch in the city today. This followed an earlier lightbulb moment for my oldest girl following an impromptu visit to my workplace on Wednesday (“Mummy, you’re a scientist AND a Mummy. How clever!“). I’m with you sweetie.  On the listening bit that is. Ahem. Promise to be [...]

“Is the Easter Bunny real or pretend real?”

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

I’ve worked very hard today on perpetuating the myth, through the sly technique of answering all questions with questions.  Apparently a large fluffy white rabbit bearing chocolatey treats will be visiting our house tonight. I don’t care about the whole tradition of giving the kids some magic through a long standing custom of make believe, [...]

Noodles

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

Today I took a rather excited A to have her four year old vaccinations, having received a somewhat mean letter from the Government which in essence stated that if I didn’t stab my child yesterday my childcare benefit payments would cease*. And wasn’t she just beside herself with excitement over finally getting her big girl [...]

Men of the world take note

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

This morning, upon investigating as to why A was taking an inordinately long time in the toilet I caught her in the act.  She was doing something that all women wish their menfolk would do, but never seem to be capable of achieving. That’s right, my four year old was changing over the empty toilet [...]
