I Want A Pay Rise

This Mummy lark is tough.

I have just had a VERY bad week.

The Princess has been very ill and it has in turns been exhausting, scary and plain messy.

I really didn't realise just how ill something simple like an ear infection can make some children.

Some kids sail through these illnesses with maybe a disturbed night and a minor temperature - they get a dose of calpol and continue causing chaos.

The Princess is not like that. When she is ill - SHE IS ILL!!! It's just they way some kids are.

I need to get used to it I suppose - we are going to have more weeks like this *buries head in hands and gently weeps*

I think we are on the road to recovery - although we are having a bit of a sleep issue now ie she won't go to sleep unless I am holding her hand. Oh well in the grand scheme of things it's just a minor problem and I am sure when she is back to fighting strength she will return to her normal ways (I hope!!!!!!!!!)

I Worry Too Much

I have spent the past couple of days reading up on 'toddlers and their feeding problems' as the Princess has been refusing pretty much all foods. I have been playing tough Mummy and not letting her snack between meals and only allowing unsweetened food (as I was worried a sweet tooth was developing) but last night we found out why she hadn't been eating.....

She has some kind of tummy bug and I spent most of last night cleaning up vomit. This morning the bottom end is going crazy and so hopefully whatever has been bothering her will soon pass.

I have learnt yet another lesson. Stop worrying about food issues. We have a little chick who loves veggies, adores fruit and always drinks her milk - so I need to chill out and realise that when she refuses food - it's for a blinking good reason!

Competitive Tiredness

I am sick (and tired) of everybody I meet telling me just how tired they are. It has become a modern day sport - I'm more tired than you - I have a much harder life than you.

BORING!!!!!

I have been guilty of having a moan but I chose this situation, I chose to have a baby and now tiredness is a fact of life. I have decided to shut up on the subject and I wish others would too.

No Surprises There!

You're a girl power mommy! You love to be girly,
but you're no pushover. Your kids are learning
that gender differences don't have to mean
gender inequality. You've taken back pink, and
you don't care who knows it!


What kind of a freaky mother are you?

Party On

Tomorrow I am going to a Christmas Party with all my Yummy Mummy pals.  There will be much wine, laughing, talking and dancing going on and I will be feeling very glam in a dress *YES -  A DRESS*.  I feel very strange as I am a trouser girl usually but this dress is so beautiful I had to have it!!  AND for once in my life I reckon I look a million times better in it than the model in this picture.

Not only am I wearing a dress but also jewellry (that's spelt wrong!) and sparkly shoes.  So there'll be no dancing on tables for me tomorrow - unless...........

Actually, it's been about 4 years since I danced on a table/podium or even a chair - it could be time!!!!!!

I Know That I am Never Going To Change The World

and my blogging reflects this.

I just want to make you smile.

Try this - I love it. Type in whatever you want to say and it will sing the words back at you.

Good Stuff

I could get down in the dumps with hubby working so much and the Princess being sick but I am very happy. Life is good. Christmas is coming and everything else in our lives is fab.

We had some great friends back in the pre-princess days whom we had a bit of a falling out with (long boring story). They were really close buddies and we shared some fab times (and drunken ones!). They now have two children and we are back in contact. Looks like time has healed the rift and we are hoping to get together in the new year to laugh at how our lives have changed. This couple were party animals and we four were always the last to leave any party. Our friendship will never be the same but I am so hoping that we can rekindle that bond that we had only this time maybe not quite much red wine, g strings (there is a story there)and dancing will be involved.

Today we put up a couple of Christmas lights and I feel so warm and cosy with my hubby and princess.

Also - who wants to be my partner? I so want to do latin dancing. Strictly Come Dancing has finally grabbed me and I feel the urge to dance with a slightly effeminate man wearing far too many sequins!!!!!!! I am off to a christmas party on Thursday - look out dance floor I'm about to hit ya!

Do You Know Soren Lorensen?

We do!

It's The Final Countdown

This time of year is so busy. There are presents to buy, meals to plan, parties, meals, trips to pubs. That's without Sinterklaas, writing cards, seeing friends, wrapping presents, dealing with sickness, coughs and colds,getting hair, nails and legs sorted out. There are vistors to plan for, packing to go away on a break with friends to sort out and the small matter of eating and drinking to fit in.

With all this it's great to take a moment each evening to light our Advent candle, to take time out to reflect and to think about the season and what it means to us other than all of the above. For those few minutes every day - I am thankful.

Wet and Wild Weekend

The Princess has a cold and is currently coughing gently in her sleep. I am so hoping she won't wake up tonight but by the coughs I can hear, that's pretty unlikely. Oh well, as I have said so many times before 'sleep is for the weak'.

Despite feeling a bit under the weather the Princess is coming on in leaps and bounds. Her language is developing daily and she is a real mimic now. She copies everything she hears and loves to sing along to songs.

She is so clever and is doing things that we didn't think would be possible until she was three or so.

She makes my heart swell.

She is also now awake and crying - it's 21.45 - it's going to be a long night!

My Blog Has Gone All Weird

It's all in the wrong place. It's too late for my brain to sort it out - tomorrow!

QUESTION

Is it right to feel excited by THIS?.

ANSWER: Probably not!

But my real thought is will Howard wear THOSE chaps again? I do hope so!

What Is Happening To Me??????

I'm becoming a sensible Mother and Housewife - NEVER *I hear you cry* but it's true.

I am finding myself making soup, planning meals and organising cupboards - and loving it!

I have a freezer inventory pinned up (why had I never thought of that before?) and am setting up so many routines that I scare myself.

Obviously, having the princess does mean that life is very ad-lib most of the time but these routines are helping me from drowning in a sea of chores (is that possible?)

The past couple of days our newspaper has been printing extracts from a, soon to be republished, 1949 housework book - I have found this disturbingly exciting and have even been looking at tips from the National Trust Manual of Housekeeping (at £49 a bit steep for use in our modern 3 bed house!!!)

Anyway, must dash off and prepare a cosy sitting room and delicious (and nutritious)meal for my hard working husband.

You're All Dark Sided

This woman is Maragaret Perrin.  She recently appeared on the American TV version of Wife Swap. 

It appears that during the show she spent her time with a family who were not Christians, and judging by her reaction on arrival home, she wan't too happy about that!

If you want to see the woman that all America is talking about in action, follow this link.
