I drafted this post earlier, but am going to make some changes. It was very much a ‘woe is me’ one, as I had had another bad night*. Apart from being repetitive, I doubt it would’ve been very interesting. However, the question remains the same: well, I should amend it to say, “Why blog?” There…
Anyone out shopping for presents for girls lately would probably have noticed the addition to all the branded (Wiggles, Hi-5, Dora etc) toys and clothes. It’s the Disney Princesses, six of the major fairy tale heroines grouped together to sell anything from Manchester to undies. This is clever; they’re like the Spice Girls of animation….
We’re watching Play School. Keira keeps pointing to the screen and saying, “mummy, mummy!” Me: “Is that a mummy?” Justine is on the screen, good ole’ Justine. Keira: “Play school mummy?” “Her name’s Justine, Keira.” “No, my mummy” “Justine’s your mummy?” “Yeah” “No, I’m your mummy” “No, I want her!” Well, isn’t that just dandy?
So far this week, the weather has been wonderful here in Melbourne. Spending so much time of the year indoors has been the hardest thing to become accustomed to since we moved from NSW. But the warmth of this week has seen Keira outside frolicking on the deck It’s great. I have some new photos…
I’m sure I don’t need to remind you that it’s the five year anniversary of the attack on New York. I still feel as affected by it today as I was then. I remember the whole week with a clarity I wish I could remember other significant periods of my life as having. What made…
My little man is six months today, which is exciting in itself, but it also means he’s ‘officially’ allowed to graduate into some more ‘big things’. Notably, its solids time (although he’s been on them for five days now) and he can now have nurofen for pain relief (although I’ve already given it to him…
*sitting at PC in a partial-comatose state* *imagine getting prodded with a stick* Hmmm?! Oh, yes, that’s right I’m supposed to be awake. What a night we had. Between midnight and 5am I was up, let’s say four times, but it could’ve been more. I can’t remember. Keira was coughing ALL NIGHT and nothing we…
Yay! And Melbourne’s putting up a show today. Its supposed to be in the twenties degrees (celcius) which is ‘tropical’, Adam and I say to each other, laughing. Certainly different to the weather we grew up with. So we’ll take the sunshine and clear skies, anytime thanks. I’ll be AWOL over the weekend. We’re having…
Yesterday, my local Maternal Health Nurse called me up to see how I was doing and whether I needed to come in. She’d come across my file and was reminded about my last check up (with Riley). You see, last time, I did the Edinburgh Scale Test for new mums and my score wasn’t so…
