Sorry kids

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Gazing into my smudgy with fingerprints crystal ball I foresee some difficult questions being asked of me by misses E and I in the not too distant future (of course it’s a given with miss A but that’s another story). I am not talking about the usual sex/death/meaning of life suspects. Although of course I [...]

Bear with me folks

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

…there will be photos and updates once I iron out the post lightning strike computer and internerd connection hiccups. (Oh yeah, and drag myself away from cuddling my wee gorgeous bub and her two delightful big sisters. Bless hormones-for now-and school).

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 [...]

The birth of Imogen Emily

Friday, January 15th, 2010

It’s hard to believe miss Immyjim* has been with us for sixteen days already and I haven’t yet had the chance to record the story of her birth. (Oh that’s right, husband having gallbladder surgery and older children not sleeping in addition to meeting newborn 24 hour needs.  Pathetic really). Sometime after midnight on December [...]

A belated 2nd birthday post

Monday, June 29th, 2009

What kind of slack tart mother leaves it until almost two weeks after your birthday to write a far too brief milestone post? The one who is currently enjoying your 6am starts to the day, nap fighting and insistence that I lie next to your de-sided cot big girl bed while you fall asleep, never [...]

Mother’s Day 2009

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

There is nothing more delicious that the excitement of your children as they hand over their lovingly handmade mother’s day gifts-a beaded bookmark and tea cup coaster from A and a painted fan from little miss E- and gathering them up for cuddles, still in awe that you are lucky enough to be their Mum. [...]

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 [...]

22 months

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

“Thankyou Mummy” you whispered to me tonight as I tucked you into your cot , freed at last from the sleeping bag you have grown to so intensely dislike. Thank you my darling girl. For the giggles and milky snuggles that we enjoy first thing in the morning and last thing at night, inching ever [...]

A belated birthday post

Friday, February 6th, 2009

My beloved miss A, Today you are four years and one week old, testament to the fact that time flies so quickly.  Somehow I blinked, and you went from this: To this: What a beautiful, thoughtful and intelligent wonder you’ve become. A magic switch was flicked last Friday (“Mummy, I was lying in my bed [...]

Santa’s cutest elves

Go on, admit it. They totally are.
