the sleep trick

31 May 2012 Mummyhood

Since we’ve been here #5 refuses to fall asleep alone. The happenings of the weekend made that even worse. Not only am I dealing with him not going to sleep without someone in the room with him, or me next to him in my bed. We’ve also added nightmare’s into the equation. I’m blown away [...]

Things I Know – About Suburbia

20 May 2012 Tis a Meme

I’ve lived in suburbia for two weeks now. My own house for nearly five days. It’s a lot different than living out on the farm. And it’s certainly something that’s going to take a bit to get used to. Tonight is the very first night we are all here together. No babysitting, no beef week… [...]

The Nothingness of Nothing

19 May 2012 Suckage

It’s quiet here. Except for the sound of Jimmy Barnes playing on my computer. My big girl is out at my nieces house babysitting ToddlerZ, the littlies have gone to their dads for the night, and my big boys are playing xbox and playstation. There’s lots to do, I just don’t have the mental capacity [...]

Rain

19 May 2012 The Months

One of my favourite songs of all time… One of my oldest friends still knows me so well. She must have been listening to and thought about the old days… and the present… It’s on my playlist today. It makes me cry on the bad days… and it made me cry today.

Sitting, Waiting, Watching

14 May 2012 Suckage

Mothers Day yesterday probably wasn’t good timing. I have enough chocolate that would last any other person a year in the fridge. But alas I am sitting here half way through a block I cracked not long ago. The kids are at school, and I’m sitting here waiting for the text/phone call to say my [...]

Scratch

12 May 2012 Mummyhood

Diamonds are formed from ugly rocks under great pressure. The pressures of life can cause us to transform into something strong & beautiful. I dunno who came up with it, but @TheRealSupermum tweeted it, and I love it. All the things I forgot about starting out are coming to haunt me. I swear there wasn’t [...]

If you change your forms – send new ones out to the various departments and charities you work with. Precious hours, even days, are lost when clients have to resubmit the updated forms. If you are going to pick on my child – be prepared for me to get in your face. If you have [...]
