I forgot how!

I think I must have forgotten how to blog!! I don't know why, but the days, and weeks passed and I just never quite got around to adding a new post. Oh well, never mind!

 Last week we had a little holiday. We took a drive up to the Port Stephens area and stayed in a unit right on the beach at Shoal Bay. It was just so nice to get away, to smell the beach air, to walk in the sand, to feel the sunshine on my face. It was just a shame that I had a terrible head cold and a dreadful cough that kept me up at night. Not only did I sound like a barking seal, but Dylan was sick too and made numerous night time wake ups. So the lack of sleep didn't do either of us much good. I took some lovely photos of our days away, but of course they are all still on the camera. One of the few shots I have is an awful selfie I took when Dylan decided to be particularly affectionate and give me big slobbery kisses. You can see just how much I enjoyed it!!

There's a lot of other stuff been going on, but I think if I tried to mention it all this post would be pages and pages long and it would become so tedious and boring to read that you'd just want to yawn!

 We did celebrate another special occasion this week. Sunday was the 20th of the month and marked 10 months since my wee boy was born. How did that go so quick? I did a special 'birthday' Mohawk for the occasion.  At least it wasn't a mullet! No bogan babies here.

      You'll need a raincoat and some gumboots I suspect!

    You've gotta love those big fat slobbery open mouth kisses.
    Never mind ... soon he'll be a teenager and you'll have to force him to give you the slightest peck ;0)

      I don't believe it!! I'm sure he'll want to give his mummy a kiss for a long long time to come :-)

Week 34 Unfortunately things fell apart during the week.  I was hoping that we were all on the mend but it quickly became apparent that we weren't, and we went downhill quickly.  There's been more whinging and moaning and sleepless nights and day naps and the tissues... boxes and boxes of tissues.  It's just no fun.  When the sleepless nights turn into cranky days, you just lose your shit sometimes. You yell. You yell at anyone who's there. You say things I'm sure you wouldn't normally say if you were well.  And decisions, oh my god, why is it so friggin hard to make a decision??? Like what should we have for dinner? Or should I put that other load of washing on or will it piss down with rain?? This week I've really felt quite isolated.  On my own little sick island where nobody wants to go.  Some days you just wish you had that magic fairy that would come and get your shit done for you.  I've been so lethargic this week that makes it seem everything

Week 44 As Dylan's transition from babbling to talking gets better, I guess I also see the downside.  The demanding toddler can now tell me what he wants and I can't just pretend I don't know or can't give it to him.  Today's lunch didn't go down so well.  Not usually a fan of ham, and a lover of avocado, Dylan picked out the ham strips and gobbled them up only to leave the avo untouched.  Then came the "more ham" request, and the "more narny" (banana), and the "more cheese"!  I guess there are worse things he could be eating.  When he did finally go back to eating more of the sandwich there was facial expressions galore!!

Overall not a bad week here. We've had a few outings, been on some walks and a 4th birthday party.  Its been a mostly wet weekend, and the perfect opportunity for cuddles on the lounge with my boys, and a little me time.  I've got the best excuse for some quiet days at home.  Hubby bought me (or was instructed to buy me) the box set of the Offspring TV show on DVD.  I love it! I've gone back to the beginning to watch the early years and see the episodes I missed out on, and to refresh my memory on the ones I saw.  So looking forward to the new season starting in a few weeks! Tristan has been pretty good this past week.  Napping has been reasonable and night times are ok.  He had a few feeding strikes, but I knew he wouldn't starve himself, so I haven't been too worried.  This past week he hit 12 weeks old and I'm noticing his size 000 clothes getting a bit tighter.  I'm sure by this age Dylan was barely into 000!  Tristan has been smiling so much, and I
