Not doing sick very well

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Tell me people, whatever happened to the good old fashioned 24 hour stomach bug?   E is still sick. She has lost so much weight and has so little energy from this stupid illness and the lack of sleep that has accompanied it (daytime sleep even though I am waking one to two hourly in the […]

Crotch vomit

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Mr hissychick has a new and charming nickname for me, and it is the title of this post.  Add this new moniker to the facial hair that he is sporting in support of Movember and he has just guaranteed that he will not get any action for quite some time yet.
I’ve worn several episodes of […]

The sound of one bottom trumpeting

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Lucky me, I contracted a mild gastro bug from young E. By mild I mean I didn’t vomit, but let’s just say that I had a hard time explaining to a newly minted “I can use all the toilets of the world now!” A why Mummy has had to stay close to home and our […]

Having a barf

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

Today us hillfolk ventured down to Lollipops Playland with a group of friends and had a great time.  Our mother’s group Mums and Dads got a chance to catch up while our threenagers raced around together, gleefully burning up energy and practically fizzing with sugar enhanced excitement. I also spent a lot of time fielding […]

Pop quiz

You are awaiting your latest fix of she who is hissychick. Pick your preferred post topic and style from the following:
A: A short snappy post about something ludicrously funny from the world of parenting a threenager and a toddler, that may or may not include quotes from eldest daughter and/or photos of both girls  which […]

What goes down must come back up.

Last night it was my turn for a spew.
Pity it happened to be when the water was off while mr hissychick was installing a new bathroom tap. I just made it to the backyard and left a voluminous deposit that our local wildlife left untouched and said husband had to cover with sand this morning.  […]

Hooray for boobies

Friday, August 15th, 2008

Another day, another night of chew (on boob) and spew (on everyone and everything every hour or so)….
However we have hopefully, hopefully turned the corner. I took little miss E to the doctor this morning, and although concerned that this bug has gone on and on and that the spewing had returned,  seemed to think […]

From spew to poo (UPDATE)

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Our hardy little E had valiantly battled through and recovered from the spew bug she had caught from A*, provided you turn a blind eye to the ongoing the hourly wakings at night and next to no sleep during the day. Or so I had so stupidly thought.
We are now in phase two of her […]

Spew central

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

I’d like to be able to do my usual Tuesday-A-is-at-daycare/preschool-so-I-have-time-and-space-to-post post but not today. E has a charming spew bug that has kept us up most of the night, along with her entire stomach contents. Poor little thing.
“Dear dear” she keeps telling me.
Right you are my darling.
So I will be lazy and point you to […]
