Monday, January 21st, 2008I promise…no more posts about sleep and lack thereof. For now*.
Time to start tackling that BFing post and updating the look of my blog.
One question I’d love to seek your opinion on dear readers (all 3 of you):
Is a blog which contains more personal information, ie names and in particular photos, of greater interest to […]
Save that dance
Saturday, January 19th, 2008Why, oh why did I open my big fat mouth?
You guessed it folks. Last night was another shocker. Could not get A to sleep until 11, same time as E. Both A and E then tag teamed on the wake up calls.
Mr hissychick then had to deal with a tantruming, shouting wife this morning. And […]
Heart in mouth, or why we need an open plan house
Friday, January 18th, 2008I have always suspected that A was physically strong* and an incident earlier this evening confirmed that I may just have a future Olympic weight lifter on my hands.
I was in the kitchen preparing dinner while keeping an eye on the girls who were playing in the living room via the dodgy early 80’s […]
It happened AGAIN….
Friday, January 18th, 2008..yes, E slept through for the second night in a row. And went down for a morning nap without fuss.
Is it too early to do a little victory dance?
I’ve glimpsed heaven…
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008…and for a non believer it looks fantastic.
E slept for TWELVE HOURS last night, requiring only one resettle in the first hour and a dream feed. She has happily gone back to bed after being up for an hour.
A is still asleep after falling asleep at 11 last night- this was preceded by three hours […]
Ennui
Monday, January 14th, 2008You have to love the French, they always seem to have an suitable word for which there is no appropriate English substitute.
Anyway.
I’m in one of those moods today, you know, where you are suffering from a complete lack of interest in anyone or anything.
Is it because the pixie monster continues her nightly wakings? Probably.
Is it […]
Note to self: laugh, don’t cry
Friday, January 11th, 2008So I rang my potential saviours at Tresillian today.Yes, we sound like candidates for a stay with the next available time around mid Feb.No, monkey girl cannot come along because she turns three while we’re on the waiting list.
Sigh.
On a more positive note, my Mum, sister and niece came for a visit today and it […]
All that Yazz
Thursday, January 10th, 2008The only way is up, baby, for you and me now…Well I hope the lyrics of that dodgy 80’s song are true because I sure as hell need to know that this little phase will pass.
Example of a typical night in the hissychick household:
5:30 ish: Dinner for cheeky monkey girl and solids refusal for the […]
Work in progress
Friday, January 4th, 2008Am currently working on a more serious piece about breastfeeding beyond six months (with actual research! and editing!).
In the meantime, two proud mummy moments:
The look of sheer delight on the pixie monster’s face as she discovered the joy of sucking her own toes (my little fetishist…)
The way cheeky moneky girl, of her own volition, will […]
Profound…
Monday, December 31st, 2007…actually I lie.
Even though both today and tomorrow are just ordinary days ending in y I wanted to wish you all a happy new year.
We are off to a child friendly BBQ shortly. I won’t be drinking and am fairly certain we’ll be home before 10.
How times have changed!
