Hello fiend part 2

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

The 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, 2007

She’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, 2007

Yes, 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 day”.
Yes, we […]

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 seems happier […]

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 […]

Sleep! 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 at 8pm.
Big […]

All i want for Christmas is….

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

…my two front teeth, according to the pixie monster.
Yep, not even six months old and she has her first two teeth*, and it looks like one of the top two is on the way too.
All I want is to not get bitten between now and next Tuesday, when we will reach […]

Make it stop…

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

…time that is, or at the very least the hectic pace.
Life has been v v busy of late. We’re currently all sick bar mr hissychick and after several months of a catnapping bub, an almost three year olds deciding to abandon a decent night’s sleep just after i’d made my peace with the […]

I may not have that much time to blog anymore…

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

..but i have all the time in the world for:
* cheeky monkey girl’s spontaneous cuddles and exhortations of “i love you sooo much”
* the pixie monster’s goofy chuckles when i blurt raspberries on her neck
* CMG’s exuberant rain dances complete with dora umbrella
*the pixie’s contented sighs and gentle pats and strokes of my boob as […]

Where is the love?

Monday, October 15th, 2007

Tell me: how do other parents find the time to, ahem, share the love? There is no time or space in this household for romance, what with the almost 7kg booby monster catnapping and wanting her mummy dummy and the nap refusing not sleeping until 10 pm cheeky monkey girl demanding cuddles because “I love […]
