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 [...]

Partying like it’s 2008

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

Here I am already in my PjJs, considering a cup of chamomile tea rather than a glass of wine and wondering if I will actually be awake at midnight. The hissychicks have partied hard tonight, having an early dinner at a bowling club where the majority of our dinner companions were octogenarians and unsurprisingly we [...]

Tomorrow I will be braving the supermarket and spending way too much cashola on sugar and preservative laden non food and plasticky crap for A’s birthday party. And let’s not forget the cake, the butterfly cake, the BUTTERFLY cake that miss A has been telling all and sundry about, the one she keeps gazing at [...]
