One Sick Kidlet

There is nothing that makes a mother feel more helpless than when her child/ren are sick. Its such a horrible feeling. You want to be able to "fix" them, but there is nothing that you can really do to help apart from giving them plenty of love and cuddles. 

In my  house at the moment it is master almost 2 (little G) that is the sick one. I have no idea what is wrong with him, but he has a temp thats above 39 degrees and with panadol it eases to 37. He doesn't want to eat (which is amazing as he normally eats everything that is not bolted down) and he is refusing milk as well.

My Weekends

Its the weekend. Those wonderful two days when you get to relax, and have some fun spending quality time with the family.This romantic idea was obviously thought up by a family with less than 3 children. Every weekend i get some fantastic idea about the fun family things we are going to do this weekend. I can see it in my head, The children are happily running around in the park/ at the beach/ at a friends BBQ/ in the back yard etc and the adults are having a nice relaxing chat.

This however is NOT how it turns out.

A little bit christmas

I was wandering down "Christmas isle" today at Coles which is one of my favorite things to do. I love looking at all the new decorations available and mentally planning how I could use them to decorate my house. I am such a big kid when it comes to Christmas. While I was daydreaming I stumbled across these super cute Santa letters and thought they were too good not to share, and for $2 they are a complete bargain. I'm planning to fill them out with the kids this weekend, so then I can start to use the good old "Santa's watching" line to get my angels to behave.

Organising progress

I am finally starting to make some progress in master almost 2's room. It is easier said than done in my crazy household. I thought that i would get in quick with photo's of my progress just incase it does not stay organised and neat for very long. The room is not quite finished yet but i am pleased with the progress i have made so far. Its quite hard to organise a small room that needs to hold the clothes and toys of two little people.

Surrounded by mess

Do you ever have times when it feels like the house is against you? When no matter what you do you just cant get the house clean? It seems that every time i finish cleaning one room and move on to the next the previous rooms becomes a mess again, and not just a little mess either. It looks like a bomb went off in there. That is exactly what is happening at my at the moment and its driving me a little crazy.

Losing my baby weight

After i gave birth to my first baby, i pretty much just bounced back to my usual weight. I guess because it was my 1st baby and because 1 was still young (25) it was easy for my body to return to normal. Fast forward 5 years and i'm still looking like my usual self and wondering what everyone is talking about when they say they are struggling to get their pre-baby body back. Surely they were just being lazy?

Bells Palsy

This post is not an easy one to write. But i know that when i was 1st going through this i felt alone and i searched for other people who were going through it. So i'm writing this post in the hope that will help somebody feel brave, and let them know they are not alone. So here goes... About 18 months ago I was sitting in an exam room doing a history exam. As i was writing i noticed that my lip was starting to feel funny. After a few minutes my eye started to feel like it was stuck and the inside of my mouth felt strange.  

Some Pic's

I always love looking at other peoples pictures and seeing what they look like. Putting faces to the names makes reading someone's blog more personal. Its easier for me to identify with a face. I have no idea why i didn't think about putting pictures in own blog so that you can put a picture to my name. I can only do what i seem to be doing too much lately, and blame it on a lack of sleep.

A clean spot

Have you ever discovered a hidden mess and wished that you could just cover it back up or close the door again and walk away? Well thats what i felt like this morning. While i was doing the washing up this morning i dropped the lid to a bottle and it rolled across the kitchen and came to a stop behind the curtains. This particular curtain never gets opened as there is a table in front of it. I bent over to pick it up, moved the curtain to the side, and there it was. A big dusty, mouldy mess. I wanted to move the curtain back over it and walk away but i knew i couldn't.
