The following is a list of all entries from the ugh! category.

The good, the bad and the ugly part 2.

There is no good
or bad
just very very ugly.
More later when I have licked my wounds.


The good, the bad and the ugly.

The good;
My Parents in Law came up to visit yesterday and made me feel as though I was a partially competent parent.
My children were all ecstatic to be spending time with them.
We had a roast lamb ( with gluten free gravy).
Ivy had her first (almost) solid poo since…well, I don’t remember really… September 07, I […]


Here we go ’round the mulberry bush!

Ok, sorry anyone who is sick to death of my negativity and my ranting over Ivy’s health. If you don’t want to hear it don’t keep reading, in fact go here. Kelley has the most hilarious post up at the moment or go here and see photos of Jacqui having lost her first tooth but […]


Five things I have learnt today about toothpaste.

1. Toothpaste is very expensive if you have to buy it more than once a day  week.
2. You can scrub your bathroom until it’s sparkling but if there is toothpaste to be found, expect to be scrubbing it again half an hour later.
3. Toothpaste can cause hives on soft toddler boy skin, especially “Extreme Clean […]


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.


Picolax poo, ewwwww!!!

So, the day has arrived when Ivy is no longer allowed to eat food. She can only drink clear fluids and she must also have her two doses of  Picolax.
Ok, I can hear you all asking what Picolax is.
It is a mixture that one downs for… faecal evacuation, to cleanse the colon, to make sure […]


Tuesday tension.

Is it Tuesday already?
It can’t be.
I’m not ready for tomorrow or Thursday.
I don’t think Ivy will ever be ready…
The paperwork for the procedure came yesterday. No cover letter, nothing so friendly. Just three pieces of paper, the first being the doctors fee.
By the time I had finished reading just that alone, I felt like I […]


Roid Rage

Ivy has been on Prednisone for  eleven days now.
She has what the paed lovingly labelled ‘roid rage’. Do not come to our house if you want to survive to see another day. Yes, it’s that dangerous!
When you have roid rage you don’t need to sleep. Ever again. Don’t stop there though. It is not commonly […]


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 […]


addit:

No, I have another question.
Why do husbands try to get down with the latest hits when they are very much the 70’s child/80’s teen?
I mean to say, stick wit’ yo’ era, boyfriend -  stop trying to convert me to yo’ happenin’ oonts oonts music.
P.S  - A  lowered, lit up like a christmas tree, rice car will not […]
