2/52

After days and days of horrible dreary rain this week we were so glad to get out into the garden.  Dylan had been having a little playdate with his friend in next door's backyard but came home on the offer of some lunch.  He was all ready to eat until he heard the banging and drilling coming from somewhere around the house.  Hubby was under the house adding a new cable in as we are going to get some new air con units installed.  Dylan liked the sound of going under the house, so we went to investigate.  We found the opening to going under the house, but we decided there might be spiders or something horrible under there so we held back.  Suddenly I noticed some movement right near us which gained our attention.  I went and grabbed my camera and captured the worried looks of my little man.

No amount of coaxing would get him near our new garden "friend".  He asked me about a billion times if it would bite him, what does he eat, and when will it go away???

This was the cause of all the concern... a blue tongue lizard!

    I met a baby blue tongue at our front steps the other day - it was the smallest one I have ever seen, barely 10cm long. There seems to be lots of them out and about at the moment.

    I get a worried look on my face too when they surprise me in the garden.

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
