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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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!
Hello fiend part 2
Sunday, December 30th, 2007The girls must be psychic, because they let me have almost seven hours sleep in a row last night (yeah I know! And the pixie monster was unwrapped and in a sleeping bag.). Combine that with toilet training progress for the cheeky monkey girl and the end of my period…my not so fairweather friend is [...]
Hello fiend
Friday, December 28th, 2007She’s supposed to be your friend, yet she undermines your confidence and saps you of energy whenever she walks into the room. She’s nice to your face yet belittles you behind your back. She’s a toxic friend, and I am fairly certain that most of you out there have had an unfortunate experience with at [...]
A wee triumph
Thursday, December 27th, 2007Yes, Christmas was a delight for the girls and therefore us parents*. Festivities aside, I want to beat my chest and proudly proclaim that cheeky monkey girl has finally, finally used the potty for wees. Yes, we had to set a deadline, ie “the day after Santa comes there’ll be no more nappies in the [...]
Breastatarianism and (almost) threenage rage
Monday, December 24th, 2007’twas the night before Christmas And all through the houseCould be heard Mummy’s voice shoutingFor the love of God GO TO SLEEEEP! ********* It’s almost a wrap for wrapping the Pixie Monster. We’ve managed to get to the stage of wrapping with both hands out without losing much more sleep than usual. Little miss does [...]
Six months
Friday, December 21st, 2007[This was meant to be posted on Dec 18. But you know how it is with two littlies, especially when one is not sleeping well *ahem littlest miss*. In fact, this is only being written up because I am having a slack tart mummy day and abandoning Cheeky Monkey Girl in front of the TV [...]
FFS
Monday, December 17th, 2007Sleep! The pair of you! Before 10 pm at night! Cease and desist with the multiple night wakings. Please can we get past both of you insisting on mummy and only mummy being there as you go to sleep. Especially if it’s the usual 7:30 pm false alarm and both of you are back up [...]
