Here's the latest!

I was feeling guilty about not posting anything during the week.  It was a busy one, and by the time the day is done, Dylan is down to sleep for the night, all I want to do is curl up in front of the tv or go to bed.  That does NOT make for an exciting post.  So I read on another blog a quick way of keeping up some form of post about what's happening.  So here it is!

Making : A mess usually...
Cooking : Mini cupcake sized quiches for Dylan and bigger, but individual ones for hubby and I.  Just need some variations on the filling!
Drinking : Cups of tea.... or a nice glass of lemonade and a slice of lime
Reading: My notes from work.  Gotta present some topics at our work conference in a week or so. Eeeek!
Wanting: Summer weather to come back!
Looking: For a pair of skinny jeans to wear with my boots.  I DO NOT usually do skinny jeans.
Playing: With Dylan's cars and trucks and blocks on the floor
Wasting: Zucchini's... They are always dead by the time I go to use them in some kind of toddler friendly dish.
Wishing: For more daylight hours in the day. Loved getting home to Dylan after work and still having some sunshine outside to play in.
Enjoying: Hot baths and pampering... Time to use up some of cupboard full of bath products I have somehow accumulated.  Do they breed?!?!
Waiting: For inspiration to get my wardrobe organised better... It just doesn't happen
Liking: Starting to feel a bit more confident about my work presentation... I've been shitting bricks for a few weeks now!
Wondering: When will Dylan start to say a few words other than Mumma and Dadda... Surely it should be soonish... I hope
Loving: Dylan napping without fighting it. Maybe it's something to do with the lovely new thick warm winter weight sleeping bag I bought recently.
Hoping:  I will really get good value out of the photography course I'm doing next month.  Sounds silly to keep shooting in Auto mode on my new-ish camera
Marvelling: At Dylan understanding more and more of what we say.  It's just amazing!
Needing: To put some socks on... right nooooooowwww!
Smelling: Hopefully not too bad!!
Wearing: Jeans and a teal blue jumper
Following: Just started reading the Organised Housewife blog.... I'm a failure!!
Noticing: The weather getting so chilly in the early mornings waiting for the train to work.
Knowing: That I only need to get through 2 days of work before 2 days of home time with Dylan
Thinking: Maybe I should learn to do something creative.. like knitting or crocheting or something... Then I realise I have no patience and give up!
Feeling: Good
Bookmarking: Pudding recipes.... and then diets!
Opening: Ebay wins posted to me. Yay!
Giggling: At Dylan making silly faces at me

    He'll be talking in no time … then getting him to be quiet will be the problem … and the questions will start … those never, ending questions ;0)

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

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

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!!
