As Usual - long time no post

Things have been hectic in the household here of late. Many of you know of the issues that have been going on. Those who do I thank you for your support and those that don't know - trust me, you probably don't really want to know.

My lovely friend Bec, is moving away and she has gone crook on me, as has Lesley to update my blog a bit more. I will try. I WILL (sneaks away maybe)

But anyways an update on the little monsters - Henry is going to be starting Kindy in 2010 at Turvey Park Primary. He is super excited. I just have to make his shorts for school as currently he looks like one of those malnourished ethopian children with a podgey belly and bones sticking out everywhere. I promise I have been feeding him. Actually we can't keep up with the food to either of them. Henry has off course grown about 3 inches in the past three months accounting for most of the food energy expenditure.

Bodhi has started talking since he had his tonsils out in October. The surgeon commented on how large and scarred they were for a 3 year old (and he was only just 3). It wasn't an issue to have them taken out at all - but it only happened after I said enough is enough. He is always talking and unlike Henry, he has been singing. Galump went the little green frog took some interpreting but its super cute when he does sing.

Me, I'm struggling. I mean really struggling. Each day is dealt with as a day no looking forward. Some days I deal hour by hour. Like today. I would love for the ground to swallow me. Other days I am my normal self. Other days I barely recognise me, let alone my poor husband.

I have won one battle though, I have a diagnosis and the insurance has accepted liablility. One monkey off my back. But I must admit at the time it seemed like it was a big monkey but I think it wasn't really. I feel no better for the monkey being gone. Some days I am probably feeling worse.

Thanks for reading and thanks for those who have been an ear and a shoulder of recent times. I have no doubt at some point in the future you will be a great source of comfort to me again.

Happy Bday B!!!

Yep my Boy is 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I stopped and thought the other day. If I'd continue producing offspring at the rate the first two were born, I would now have 4 children. Hats off to those with lots of little kids, but my babes do my head in on days.

But on other days, they are lovely. Just like they were yesterday. This is B after opening a gift from his aunty and started to colour in. He was mightly pleased with himself

Long time no blog

I just don't come here much anymore.

I've been studying, working, running a business, two little monsters and knitting. Bugger that sounds tiring let alone living it.

I hope to blog more cause Lesley is always at me :( *Waves*

And just for Lesley - a piccie of my almost finished kitchen now. All that needs to be done now is the splash back and the floor covering. I had just scrubbed all the cupboard fronts. Kitchen not entirely clean, but it gives you an idea of the size of it - I'm pretty impressed with the kitchen that would normally cost over $40K and we did it for about $10K so far

I have here.....

Two lovely Cherubs Kiss XMAS fleece nappy covers size M. I should have done something with them before hand, but simply haven't.

Lesley told me to sell them, but I just can't do it, it's not in my morals.

SO for the first two people who post a comment (and I must admit it's likely to take a while hey - I really should update more often) will receive one of the covers each. I ask only that you pay the postage on them.

They are MM cream/brown fleece on the outside, and cream microfleece inner. Both have a reindeer embroidery on the bum. One has embroidered tabs, the other XMAS print.
I'd post piccies, but for some reason, my camera and my pooter aren't talking. Must be male and female (chuckle)


A little late for XMAS but then again, there's always next year hey.........

Special Collaborations

There is always something satisfying in helping others - in this case, the very very good friend of a special lady known to me.

I could not but say I'll help.

So you have the opportunity to get something that's a bit different and a BumNRound handknit as well as other special WAHM products and help a friend who is having rough trot right now
