Here we go again!  I'm going to try and keep up with the posts this year.  I've managed it for the past 2 years, but with a new bub due in March I'm not confident I'll be able to keep it up during the newborn haze.  Only time will tell I suppose.

This week has been punctuated with broken sleep, not enough naps, and too many late nights watching rubbish movies on Netflix.  The Netflix part is totally my own fault, but it's nice to just sit down and relax with something mindless after the dinner/bath/bed routine with Dylan.  Tonight we allowed Dylan to watch part of a movie that was not too far off finishing.  Earlier today he came home from his grandparents a total cranky-pants, refusing lunch then slept for hours and hours.  So I'm not at all surprised he wasn't ready for bed tonight.  We chilled out on the lounge watching a movie I remember from my childhood.  Spaceships and aliens kept him completely fixated until an ad came on and I threatened to tickle him.  That cheeky grin and mischievous eyes gets me every time.

      Thanks Mandy! He's just turned 3 in the last month and he'll tell anyone who'll listen that he's a big boy now!

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

I took these shots a few weeks ago and have been meaning to post some but I just never seem to get around to it.  These were taken one evening straight after Dylan's bath when he clearly had had too much energy!  He ran off from his room before we could get a nappy on him, let alone some pyjamas.  He grabbed his bouncing bull "Brutus" and hopped away giggling and having a great time.  I just love his wet curly hair bouncing up and down!!

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
