Another bloggy blah blah blah (Alternative title: The mother loses her mind).

Spoke too soon. 
Ivy is sick again.
blah blah blah.
Same old same old.
We called the doctor two days ago and, what a surprise, he never called back.
Blah blah blah.
Boogety “I’m too important” doctor’s receptionists who don’t listen and who won’t do anything you ask of them just because you are low life clientelle who want too much of […]

…and the mother said to the pharmacist…

…”I need something for a cough”.
Concerned Pharmacy Girl: “Is it for you?”
Panda - Eyed Mother: “No, it’s for the children”, watches CPG start to pull down an expectorant “and please don’t tell me they need an expectorant. That will make them cough more and I want them to cough less.”
CPG: “Oh, we don’t encourage suppressing […]

So not cool.

We had soccer today and like every weekend when we have a home game, Imogen and Madeline asked if they could take Ivy and Noah to the park.
Usually, I say ‘no’.
I can’t see the park from the field and besides that, I like everyone to stay together, to cheer the boy on, you know.
Today, I […]

Is it sad when…

You dream about the design of your blog page and then, when you wake up you can’t get it out of your head and then  you feel the need to scribble it down, just in case your husband ever learns how to use Dreamweaver?

Yep. Thought so.

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 […]

Yep, I could be in marketing…

Other names for a Picolax type product;
“Rectovac”.
“Doodoo Deluge”.
“Heavy Sh*t” (as opposed to Trish’s Go Lightly).
“Fire In The Hull”!
“Ring of Fire”.
“Alimentary, my dear doctor”!
“Colonic Draino”.
I know. I need to get a life.

‘Trying to make light of a stressful situation’ or ‘What’s worse than 1 toddler on prednisone’?

What’s worse than one toddler on prednisone?
Two toddlers on prednisone, of course!
That’s right. You know that little cold that Ivy aquired at the paddle pool? Well, Noah got it too and it became an asthma attack that needed prednisone. Yesterday was day three and the ‘roid rage was in full swing… or should I say […]

Better, and yet?

I don’t know where to start.
We went to the paed today.
There. That wasn’t so bad. A start.
The paed was lovely, kind, caring. I seriously couldn’t fault him today. He even charmed Maddy, who had come with me to help.
Noah is fantastic. Growing well. Chest is good, the Singulair is working. He is developing well. You […]

When you relax Murphy comes a knockin’

While Kelley is off having her girly sleepover Murphy has had nobody to pester, so this morning he came knocking on my door.
I hate Murphy.
For a start, I think Guera from Roaming Aussie Mum was right. I think the paed has been reading my blog and I don’t think he has enjoyed the context very […]

Mmmm… Patrick… I mean.. Enchanted, quite a good movie.

What do you do when life gets too much?
Why, you take your girls to the movies to see Enchanted, that’s what!
Mums, this is seriously one to leave your husbands at home, with the toddlers. Use the excuse that it is a chick flick/children’s movie and they will be begging off anyway.
While the children are caught up […]
