So it is Sydney’s third consecutive rainy weekend. Will it ever be sunny or a sun-day again??? Time to take action. We killed 93 minutes (and probably as many dollars) seeing Shrek 3. Then it was home time and a long afternoon of fighting over toys and what dvd to watch next. And then I had an idea… Uncooked Playdough Ingredients […]
So what do we have this week? Jack - home sick all week with tonsillitis. Wheezing from his winter onset asthma (every winter we dig out the spacer) Aimee - Hyperactive after a school disco, and wanting to set up a tent in the rumpus to watch High School Musical ALL NIGHT… Sophie - has been offered the […]
I have been getting increasingly envious about those fortunate enough to be under thirty. Seeing people in shopping centres who are obviously just starting out makes me jealous. And I remember having a flat tummy, and cash to spare, ideas of how life would pan out, and all of the assumptions I had. Lucky for me, […]
This week kind of flew by. One minute my garage was flooding, and the next… well… it was still flooding. Only this time it took most of the house with it. Meh! Whatever. Felt like a prisoner in my own home over the last few days of torrential bucketing. Speaking of prisoners. Can anyone please update […]
If you live in Sydney, chances are that you were a prisoner in your home over the past few days. The torrent of rain was so severe that at one stage my daughter asked me if we should build an ark just in case! The first casualty was our garage. It became a public pool with […]
More of the same today. I had three hospital visits to Mums who felt… abandoned by the busy/run off their feet midwives. I love my visits to the maternity ward, and getting the Mums some much needed help when they need it most. However today it rained. And I was wearing canvas shoes. Hmmm. The whole […]
Every morning that I wake up without having thephone ring through the night, is a blessing! Last night all of my clients and their babies behaved themselves and my 42 hour sleep strike finally ended. Today I am going to a "meeting" with a client at the local play centre. Cannot wait to get out of here […]
My special ticking timebomb, sleep threatening client called me at 9pm, as it was definitely TIME! Despite the horrendous pain, and unknown, we actually had a pretty nice time. Some laughs and cries between the pains. And it’s always lovely when that very special client says she could not have done it without me. But I […]
List of issues causing me stress today: A very special client’s waters broke this morning, was sent home from hospital, and now is a ticking timebomb threatening tonights sleep Still waiting on my 1300 number. Called again today, and told that the order hasn’t even been put through. Grrrrrrrrrr My teenage daughter is currently on her bedroom floor […]
Lucky me!!!!!!!! I got through a night without anyone going into labour. However my phone has been ringing off the hook with parents needing Sleep Guidance for cranky babies. And they need help today. Thanksfully my prayers were answered when two Parentcraft Nurses phoned out of the blue asking if I need help. So i’ll […]
