Sunday? What happened to all those other days?

...aaah, they were overrated, or underrated, I dunno, but chose to skip them, well, lets say I was busy. And I never promised to be here every day you know :)

Currently there is a line full of wet washing hanging on the line, it's 9pm so I'm not liking the chances of it drying very much!

Middle is in the bath and Youngest is in the shower, yelling and banging on the wall...be right back!

OK, now they are both in the bath, Youngest is still yelling and banging - as to the time of night that they are in the bath, it's school holidays, I was watching Master Chef with them, Hubby and eldest are out fishing - hmmm, any other slack ass reasons I can come up with? :)
Youngest thinks she likes a shower, what she really likes to do is draw on the lovely steamed up glass, who doesn't? I like checking out the interesting patterns that wet hair and shampoo leave behind :)

Back to Youngest, she doesn't like the water on her head, she'll bend over and back her behind under the water, she'll sit on the floor with her feet under the water and rub soap thru her hair - then she will scream blue murder while I try and rinse the soap out of her hair! I swear the neighbours think I am torturing the child! Sometimes I might like to, but no, generally speaking I am not inflicting hideous pain on my baby. Just trying to apply some soap and water.

Middle freely admits her hatred of the shower and will only have a bath, she must have a towel handy so that when I wash her hair she can wipe any stray drop of water from her face immediately! Not allowing her to instantaneously wipe hideous moisture from her face will ensure that the neighbours again think I am torturing another of my children!

Achievements this weekend, yes I am encompassing the whole weekend so that it seems like I did more stuff!

Wednesday comes after Tuesday...

...and so we go on :) I did get to Zumba class last night, it was great, I managed to not cough up a lung on the floor so that's good!
Doc appt showed Middle has an ear infection - antibiotics will help clear that up and her cough also, Youngest has a crackly chest - so yeah, antibiotics will help clear that up, and I have a chest infection - who woulda thunk it - so, you guessed it, antibiotics all round.
The Zumba seemed to move a lot of 'stuff' around so lots of coughing was had all night long, go antibiotics go, do your thing! Looking forward to Middle and Youngest feeling better also, what is up with the Tag Team action they have going on - has been starting around 1.30am, last night was every hour or so from 11.30pm - 'Hey, I'll have a coughing fit at 11.35pm, then you cry out for apparently no reason at 12.45am, then I'll need to go to the loo with assistance at 2.20am, then you can stumble into their room at about 3.30am, I'll throw another coughing fit at 4.13am and require my puffer - but not without chucking a screamfest first :)', yawn, what's that you say - Yes, I probably would feel better with a good nights sleep, thanks.

Achievements for yesterday ...some stuff got cleared off my desk
...made it to Zumba and enjoyed it
...got some dinner on for the family before I left

hmmmm, that's a very short list, on to it now - loads of paperwork to be done, loads of laundry to be done, loads of housework to be attended to....here I go :)

So, it's Tuesday...

...which means the beginning of the week as yesterday was Queens Birthday Holiday (Yay for holidays!).
I am not going to procrastinate today - which is why I choose to Blog first and work later? - well, after this is done I am not going to procrastinate!
Doc's appt this afternoon for Middle, Youngest and myself, the constant coughing, not to mention the constant whinging from Middle, has gone too far...medical attention please! I am supposed to be attending my first Zumba class tonight with friends. They look at me dubiously and ask if I am really up to it, dunno about up to it but I am so up for it :) Excercise is way way way overdue around these here body parts. I love to dance, grew up doing Jazz, Tap, Ballet and Highland so am looking forward to attempting some Zumba action!

Achievements yesterday... made a spicy Chorizo and Bean soup for lunch
... uncovered the floor in Middle and Youngest's room
... two loads of laundry done
...made 3 batches of scones, used 2 different recipes, I suck at scones
so was fairly pleasantly surprised with my efforts
...added a few more inches to Middle's scarf
...did the dishes -well, then I cooked and baked so it's a bit
of a mess again
...chicken schnitzels and salad for dinner

I'm here to focus on the postives so will not dwell on all the things I would have liked to do/didn't get done - those achievements are for today!

Fingers crossed - have a great day :)

The First Post...

...is the hardest, I guess! I use way too many exclamation points and smiley faces, let's get that out of the way first :)
So what do I hope to achieve/gain from this Blog, it's my first time you know, so be gentle with me. Clear the dirty laundry from going round and round in my head, share some photos I like, share some recipes I like, maybe some books and goings on. I enjoy craft, hanging with my family...most of the time (they've been sick, along with myself, for about 100 years now it seems!).
We love camping, fishing, going out in the boat (s) - it's an addiction of the Hubby's, gotta have a boat for every purpose!
I love hanging out with the girlfriends when I can, chatting, crafting, eating - you know, girlie stuff that we like to do without our angels hanging off our legs, and our hubbies putting their 2 cents worth in :)
I love my kids, it took us way too long to have our kids, not for lack of trying...polycystic ovaries - blech. I love taking photos of the kidlings, love watching them when they don't know that I am :) The ways they interact sometimes is so amazing!
Is that enough to start with? It'll have to be, Middle is demanding my attention, and hopefully you'll get to know us well enough to know that when Middle is demanding - she means NOW!
