Calling ALL car fairies!!! my bus has broken AGAIN. If you would be so kind as to remove and replace it with a brand spanking new bus (silver or blue for preference but REALLY not fussy at this stage) I would be most appreciative. Thanking you in Advance.

I love my home, blood tests, growing up and Beanie Bears

There is nowhere else in the world that I can go to the toilet to discover an Action Man staring down at me from a toilet paper pyramid. My kids can really make my day. make me smile, forget my worries with something so simple. Oh to be a child again.
We have had such a […]


Positive affirmations work!!!

They really do.
Yesterday, there was a cancellation at our medical centre to see a new female doctor. She was competent, thorough and on my side! She called the ENT and we are back on treatment for Ivy’s ear. We are going to have tests done to see WHY a little baby girl keeps getting otitis […]


Another long one…I’m afraid

Let’s start this entry off on a happy note. One of my friends brought around an old, blue, plastic, ride in car. I think this car has gone through a few midwives’ children. It’s old and battered and has pieces missing. The steering wheel is wobbly and there is a piece of rope tied to […]


No bus and the week in review

Gee, it’s been a while and so much has happened. Where do I start?
Ivy is still unwell and pretty miserable on it today. I feel so sad for her that I can’t get proper care for her ear. David is trying to contact the paed again today, so we’ll see what happens there. Not that […]


Easter, bathtime madness, bad hair holidays and when is a hospital NOT a hospital…

UGH, chocolate overload, my friends is NOT a pretty sight in a thirty - something woman. OOOOHHHH, my belly. I know, I know, no sympathy for self inflicted wounds. It was […]


Angel day

Today it has been raining. Sometimes hard and sometimes just drizzling. It kind of compliments the day that it is. William’s angel day. The day, three years ago, that we let William go. There were so many highs and lows of the five days surrounding his birth and death. The lowest was having to turn […]


Godspeed…

 
To quote the Dixie Chicks;
Godspeed, little man,
Sweet dreams, little man.
Oh, my love will fly
To you each night
On angels wings.
Godspeed, Sweet Dreams.
 
Oh William. I miss you.


terrible nappy addiction, balloonmania and Easter comes early to Ellalong…

So it’s good Friday and we are not supposed to eat meat. That’s good because meat is overrated in my opinion, anyway. Give me chocolate!!!! No! Chocolate is naughty and addictive and fattening! Say no to chocolate (if you can)! What about chocolate in the shape of a fish? If you turn a chocolate rabbit […]
