Sunday, January 27th, 2008..just relaxing with the family over the Australia Day long weekend. If by relaxing you mean fretting about how to ensure that A’s upcoming birthday party is a sugar fuelled frenzy that all the cool preschoolers will still be talking about in high school. Kidding. Sort of. Anyway, just wanted to record for posterity how [...]
Housework avoidance syndrome
Friday, January 25th, 2008I am irritated. And I am really irritated that I am irritated. For some reason today I feel premenstrual, although I don’t think I should be. Not that I’d know given that my cycles are still out of whack, presumably thanks to a booby monster named E. Anyway. I’m edgy, sick of my own company [...]
I am who I am not. Um yeah.
Thursday, January 24th, 2008I need distracting from my impending tanty at the way my breastfeeding beyond six months post is shaping up and- LOOK AWAY mr hissychick, i’m about to talk about feelings!*…. So here’s a bit of fluff n stuff: I am: Thirty one years old (eek), but am certain my real age lies somewhere between fourteen [...]
Tattletales and a booby monster meets meat
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008Tonight I gave E a chip sized piece of boiled chicken with her usual pureed dinner vegie combo (yes! she has suddenly started eating from a spoon! and someone in this house likes my cooking!). You could hear the choir of angels singing the nanosecond flesh met tastebuds. And yea verily, all was good. Finger [...]
Conversations with A
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008Almost three year olds are endlessly fascinating, combining a heady mix of vastly improved vocabulary with a uniquely endearing take on the world. Some snippets of conversations with A today: On her upcoming birthday:“It’s my birthday soon. When I was a baby, I turned one. Then I got bigger and turned two. But I’m older [...]
Let’s change topics shall we?
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
