Defcon 1! All systems go!

I adressed my issues with the paed.
I told him about trust and how important it was to me.
I told him how hard it was for me to trust.
Especially doctors.
I told him that for me to trust anyone with my children’s health was a big thing.
I think he got it.
I told him where I was coming from […]

Proceed to Defcon 2. This is not a drill.

We arrived at the paed’s rooms.
Actually, this story starts about fifteen minutes before when the receptionist called to let me know that there was a parking space available just for little old me. I wanted to ask, why are you being so nice to me but I just thanked her and proceeded to our destination.
So, […]

Ivy update; please proceed to Defcon 3

I’ve been trying to keep it a little lighter around these parts. 
You guys like that, right?
A bit of comic relief?
Behind the scenes things have been chaotic.
To say the least.
But you knew that.
On Tuesday morning we packed the… err… pack up to make the journey to Sydney. I was disorganised and stressed. When the children got […]

…and then there was Monday night.

They are restless again.
This can’t be good. It is cracking on to 9pm. Why are they still awake?
There has been no red cordial. There has been plenty of quiet time pre - bed. We have followed the bed time routine to the letter but for the second time they have not gone straight to sleep.
9:30pm.
C’mon, […]

Bedtime antics.

This is Sunday.
I put them to bed. I snuggle them down. Noah has Ted and Ivy’s arms cling tightly around BokBok, boa also in hand.
They are so not ready to settle but I sit with them anyhow, willing them to go to sleep.
As twins they have the right, it seems, to suddenly start a banter […]

Never ask a doctor for directions or Status Ugly: pending.

I’m posting this early because it is going to be a busy day, my friends.
I’m going to Sydney to take Ivy to an Immunologist.
It seems that when you stand up for yourself it earns you the right to be fast tracked.
I’m not quite sure how it happened. My head is still spinning.
David is skeptical. He thinks […]

Pay It Forward and forward again.

Ok.
So.
I ran the numbers through the randomiser and it sneered at me and said, No, Tiff you can’t do it for everyone. Just give it up to me and I will spit you out three numbers.
It gave me;
1 -  Veronica
6 -  Kim
and
12 -  Mr Lady.
But I couldn’t let it go and you all put such lovely […]

Balls and the weekend we grew some.

Overheard while preparing Italian Balls (spinach and fetta arancini) ;
‘These balls are sticky’. (snigger, snigger, snigger).
‘My, those are big balls. It says your balls should be no bigger than golf ball size’.
‘Those are my balls! Don’t touch my balls!’ (Big twins enter into a Beavis and Butthead type chuckle)…
Heh
Heh Heh
Heh he heh
You said balls!
BALLS!
Hehe heh […]

Twas not all bad.

It started off with the making of gluten free “Italian Balls”
You know, there are so many funny things you can say about […]
