A bad case of the CBFs
The dreaded lurgy has arrived in our house so both the girls and we have bummed around the house pretty much most of the day. Miss A slept for four and a half hours during the day which is not normal for her at all so I knew she wasn't 100%. Miss B was just …
Tonight I feel tired
So much I want to write but certainly no space in my brain to give it space to grow tonight. I'm knackered! A huge week of thinking and presentations and trying to keep the hamster running on the little wheel - both at work and at home. I'm getting there, but geez I'm tired today! …
I don’t do cold
I'm just putting it out there, you know, on public record, right here, right now to let you know that I don't do cold! So if you hear about how cold it is where I live for pretty much all of winter this year... well, don't say you weren't forewarned! I was born and bred in …
The little things
Half the weekend is over. Already! Today was another busy day combining work with the downtime. And so this we took a little time to chill out this afternoon to spend some time together as a family, even if it was just doing some mundane chores. Are you taking time to enjoy the little things this weekend? How …
TGIF!! Oh no, wait…

Not a wink
I did not sleep a wink last night... well, not until the wee early hours of this morning when my hubby came home. I've mentioned a number of times that my husband is a long distance truck driver who is usually away from home for a week at a time. This arrangement has afforded me the …
Cheese toasties
Yup, it's been one of those nights. Late afternoon meeting resulting in late childcare pickup causing the evening routine to explode into hyperdrive. Thank goodness my childcare centre serves up copious amounts of fruit and a good balanced lunch everyday. Makes it a little easier to forgive myself when the best I can muster up …
Silverstreak
I mentioned a few months ago about the significant increase of silverstreak that had infiltrated my very dark locks here.The plan? To lighten my hair to a point that the regrowth blended more naturally than the white on black that was currently occurring. Today, was the third 'instalment' of this process and we lightened the dark …
Groundhog day
Yup, kinda sums up my day today! Did we not do all of this yesterday???? Sick kids, swamped in work, trying to get on top of it all!!! Arggghhh!!! Had grand plans for the blog this week! Turns out that idea was a case of go to jail, do not pass go, do not collect …
