WashingPackingShoppingCleaningRestingBut just thought I better get in one last little post before we head off. Yesterday was such a disappointment but I have woken this morning ready to start the next phase of my life and I have plenty to distract me from the nerves and fear that will kick in big … [Read more...]

At my last day of work. In the office. Alone. Talk about depressing!I have been looking forward to this day as it marks a full stop. The end of an era. Doors closing, chapters doing something else and all that. I have also been dreading this day. After this there will be no more regular pay placed … [Read more...]

In amongst all of the excitement of the big trip I guess I may or may not have been NOT thinking about the whole transit thing of actually getting there. The whole 24+ (yes you read that right) plane trip from Australia via Hong Kong to Paris thing. Yep. Denial.Most people have been telling me how … [Read more...]

We are heading off! To Paris! NEXT week! NEXT! As in just the one after this one! You could say that I am starting to get just a little bit excited. I feel like we have turned a corner and are in the home stretch now...and there is SO much to do.Packing for a start. Actually no, not yet. Prep for … [Read more...]

We are back to reality with a thump after 4 days of pure heaven at Rob's Dad's farm EIEIO. It felt like we were well and truly in summer holiday mode...and then we had to turn around a come home...sigh...Daise and I left early Thursday morning and managed to get up there about 2.30pm. It was a 6 … [Read more...]

My head seems to have been so lodged up my own a*** of late that I totally forgot to mention how smart my husband is!My husband is SO smart! No really! A few weeks ago we found out that a documentary film he has been working on has been nominated for an award at the International Sport Film Festival … [Read more...]

It is SOOOOOOOOO good to see you! I can now officially say that summer is here. That THIS month we are going to Paris for Christmas. All wonderful things! But in the same breath I can also say that in 3 weeks time I will no longer have a job. And that scares the breath right out of me. It's the … [Read more...]

I am happy to report that Daise is on the mend. At last! Thank God! About time! And all that. Thursday we were back at the doctor as she hadn't really changed (still temps and miserable) and later in the day I had a follow up call from the doctors that looked after her in ER and they said that if … [Read more...]

I thought 24 hours ago that I was tired. HA! I didn't even know exhaustion and stress. Last night was a shocker. I went to to check on Daise around 10pm last night when I was heading off to bed and she had a fever. A stinking hot, searing, burning fever. She was sleeping (badly) but woke as soon as … [Read more...]

Too many points to cover off, not enough energy and sleep to be coherent so bare with me and my bullet points...Daisy has been going well in her new bed. In fact she loves it. There have been requests to be put into the bed just to hang out and play, and read. She has still been waking in the night … [Read more...]

I am feeling a little highly strung, wound up, cranky - like a I have a coil of stress wound up inside me that the smallest thing has me *BOING* out of control like a mad woman! This morning alone I think I lost my cool about 5 times with Daisy and maybe 3 or 4 times with Rob all before … [Read more...]

I'm not sure if you have ever seen a cartoon by Leunig - an Australian cartoonist - called the 3am whale? Probably not...here it is if you can read it...It's about waking in the middle of the night and worrying. I think that everything seems worse at 3am. It's quiet and still, and dark, and you know … [Read more...]

Rob was in charge of dressing Daise Sunday morning. I am no control freak in the dressing up of my kid - I am happy for him to do it whenever and whatever she has in her drawers, I just seem to be the one that usually does it. Plus it always seems that he manages to find the one piece of ugly, too … [Read more...]

These 6 books are on HIGH rotation at our place at the moment (in fact they have been for months now). They feature things that we have done lately (trips on planes and to the beach) as well as some old favourites. 4 of them were mine when I was little...I loved being able to get them out and share … [Read more...]

We were off (again!) on Friday for another weekend away. We have been so lucky the past few months to have as many little trips away as we have. In fact all year it seems every few weeks we have managed to get out of town for a weekend or longer. I love being able to stay with friends and family and … [Read more...]

Yesterday we went and saw our latest friend into the world Angus who is the 2nd child to close friends of ours. I was excited to meet the little (actually big 9 pounds 5 ounces) boy and Daise was pretty impressed to be heading to the hospital.I was overwhelmed when we got there. It was the same … [Read more...]

It seems I have passed a magical milestone this week. I didn't know that when your first born was 20 months, 3 weeks that you better start thinking about no 2! This week I think I have probably had at least 8 (!) different people ask me "you better get cracking on no. 2"! I mean today I was seeing … [Read more...]
