There is a whole community out there…
Filed in blogging, August 20, 2007, 8:04 pmdedicated to people who love to blog! I have been scrolling through different sites this morning, instead of doing the washing and instead of making lycra boots (I know Mum, I’ve left it to the last minute again!). There are awards and things called widgets, that I don’t understand and there are tags and contacts. […]
Update on the gastro house, “Eye -ses” and it’s “rainging” (raining) again.
Filed in Health, illness, babies, children, , 2:09 amWhat is the Noah - ism for glasses? :Eye - ses, of course!
He is becoming so aware of his surroundings now, noticing things and naming them. It is really interesting to watch. Maybe it’s because I am older and have a better understanding of the different developmental milestones or maybe it’s just because Ivy […]
The two Grandmas and your baby is not sick enough.
Filed in Daily life, Health, illness, babies, doctor related posts, August 17, 2007, 5:08 amWhen gastro has seeped into the very pores of the house and you fear that there is no light at the end of that proverbial tunnel, who do you call for help? You call the two grandmas, of course.
On Thursday, when I was fearful for my son’s life, my mum, "Gran" (or Gan, if you are […]
There is a disease…
Filed in Male slandering, August 13, 2007, 4:25 pm…in this world that is worse than gastro. It is called PMD or Pathetic Male Disease. It only afflicts the men (boys) of the household. What it means is that when they do catch a cold (or in this case gastro) they catch it FAR worse than any woman (girl) ever could (in their humble opinion). […]

Filed in Daily life, Health, illness, doctor related posts, August 12, 2007, 5:14 pmToday, with the thought of having to transport vomiting children anywhere, I am thankful that I have a bus with vinyl flooring.

*** WARNING, DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE SICK OF HEARING ABOUT THE SICK*** (hey, I just realised I can use colour on this blog!)
It’s very early on Monday morning and I know now that Lily’s vomiting was not just a random act of kindness, in wanting to paint my bathroom. In hindsight, it was […]
34 days to go…
Filed in Daily life, Health, illness, babies, children, family, , 2:34 am…until our holiday but who’s counting and wasn’t the weather beautiful today?
Today I was supposed to move all my scrapbooking stuff into Ivy’s old room, wash mountains of sheets, make some lycra boots, clean up my room and rearrange the loungeroom. I was supposed to go food shopping, weed the garden and wash down the […]

Tap twins to the rescue, shaved dogs and I really need that holiday!
Filed in Daily life, August 9, 2007, 9:36 pmImmy and Maddy did their first ever tap exam today. I don’t know who was more nervous, them or me. They have practiced hard though and Kelly believes they will do well. I know they will. They try so hard at everything they put their hand to. Knowing that didn’t stop the nerves though and […]
Goodbye Hungry Caterpillar

The cover has been ripped off several times, pages scrunched, bent, folded in half, partially torn, fully torn from the book. Pages lost and found again were lovingly repaired so that all could enjoy the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Lately, Ivy and […]
