I think Tara's allergic to our new place!
I am completely distraught.
Tara broke out in hives - very mildly on Saturday and then again on Monday. But yesterday, she had a pretty bad reaction - so bad that she could hardly open her eyes. The swelling has JUST gone down - 24hrs later - and it was extremely distressing. I'm quite certain it's not a food reaction because I haven't changed her diet. So, Im guessing it something from outside - the grass, pollen, a plant, insects - or maybe even the carpet.
I have been so stressed and terrified that she's going to continue to have break-out until I see the Allergy specialist and have her tested. I'm trying to psyche myself up for this - a scatch test where various allergens are pricked onto her forearm. I'm so worried.
My poor baby.

We've finally moved
Moving house is traumatic.
People warned me - they said it would be hard, exhausting and downright emotional. While, I imagined it to be all these things, I was still in for a big surprise.
Packing is exhausting (especially more so when you are six months pregnant!), but the hardest thing was leaving behind all the memories. I know I whinged a lot about the lack of space etc etc etc, but it was my first place out of home, the first place my hubby and I lived after we married and of course it was where the girls were both conceived and spent their earliest days.
But, having said all that, I am glad we moved and we have all settled in really well. Jeff has to travel a bit further for work, but we are all much more relaxed. And my darling sister and her family are literally around the corner. The girls love seeing their cousins nearly every day and my sis has already come to my rescue a dozen times these last two weeks.
I just hope our tennant is taking care of my purple place!

My first Grey hair
For all those who know me, I'm pretty vain about my hair
I whinge a lot about it the curls being a pain, but my crowning glory is probably my best feature (when the regrowth isn't showing, that is.)
Anyway, I've had hair dramas since giving birth to Tara. During the pregnancy it was full and long and just gorgeous.
My sister warned me not to get too attached to it.
Being a hair expert, she had seen a plethora of post-pregnancy women in hysterics as clumps of their locks had fallen out and they had to succomb to a crew cut.
Lo and behold, three months after Tara-girl was born, my hair starting falling out. Lucky for me, however I was soon pregos again with Edee and it was thick and lustrous again - and I tried a new colour.
However, the worst was yet to come.
Three months after Eden was born, my hair started falling out BIG TIME. Clumps would fall out in the shower and I would scream for my hubby to come in and check for bald spots. My hair line thinned out pretty quickly but I was loath to cut it, hanging on for sheer life to the ragged length of copper hair which now resembled an unbrushed horse mane.
I had always promised my hubby I wasn't going to be those women who, when they got married would chop off their femininity after becoming a Mrs and a Mum.
So, when I fell pregant this year, I waited the obligatory three months to colour it, and went for the chop - and changed colour yet again. I cried and yearned for the long locks. While my darling sister only cut the bare minimum, I felt naked without it. It wasn't that short - just below my shoulders - but to me it was akin to boy's hair.
I soon got over it. It its much healthier and growing (thanks to oestrogen) at a record pace.
Which leads me to the subject of this blog. It has grown so fast, I had to get it coloured again this week.
Usually a pain free exercise, this colour session was a nightmare.
My sister found a grey hair!
It was devastating, and I'm not exagerating. She yanked it out by the root and tossed it haphazardly at me. I was in tears. I have kept the hair, which is half snow white and half bright red. Gosh, I'm really feeling old.
My predictions are coming true, my husband is going to send me grey. Now for my next prediction to come true - the kids are going to send me to the loony bin.

A new TV show
I was watching racist people on TV last week - aka Survivor Cook Islands (if you are not familiar with this latest Survivor, the 'tribes' are split into ethnic groups - Asian, Black, Hispanic, White) and it got me thinking about developing my own reality show.
I had a few ideas swirling around in my brain, but the idea finally came together while I was watching fat people on TV last night - aka The Biggest Loser.
CANNIBAL ISLAND
30 fat people are stranded in Papua New Guinea. No food, no animals, a few cannibal natives and of course a TV crew who enjoy a buffet lunch every day. The fat people are split between obese and super obese and sleep standing up lest they stop breathing in their sleep.
As the days go by, their sole task is to stay fat as the person who loses the most weight is voted off. They spend most of their days lying around like beached whales.
But here's the twist.
After the torch extinguishing, the rest of the survivors gather round, lasso the banished one and cook him/her rotisserrie style while the natives give them cooking tips. Every morsel of human flesh is eaten. The contestants fight for the fatiest meat as they don't want to be cooked next.
This continues until only one person is left. He/She is then given the reward. Not a million dollars, but a lifetime membership into the PNGCS - better known as The Papua New Guinea Cannibal Society which promises a lifetime of human meat for free!
I'm sure the networks will jump at the opportunity to broadcast such groundbreaking TV. Can you imagine the spin-offs? Cannibal Island - The Wedding where the guests are eaten, Cannibal Island - The Bachelor where the unsuccessful/ugly contestants are roasted? I can see loads of potential, can't you?

Pregnant Again!
OH MY GOD, has it been five months since I blogged last?
It feels like a lifetime ago.
So much has happened - the most exciting being the subject of this blog - and yet I feel as if it has only been five days.
Well, a quick recap would go along the lines of this;
Got a great job at Australian Associated Press (app 3-4 days a week)
Eden turned 1 (and only started walking three weeks ago - lazy bum)
I got knocked up again (vomiting, vomiting and more vomiting)
I turned 30 (yibkes! And couldn't do the three things I always wanted to do on my 30th - get drunk, get a tattoo, smoke a pack of cigarettes)
Tara turned 2-and-a-half is a the cheekiest, most adorable little angel/devil who refuses to be toilet trained.
And,
STILL haven't moved house. This will have to happen very, very soon as I'm sure I will go completely bananas (ok, already am) if I have to live there much longer.
I hope I haven't lost all of my readers, but I suppose this is the quickest way to let all the people I know that I'm up the duff. While, I'm totally ecstatic about having another baby, you wouldn't believe the reactions I've got from 99% of people I have told. I can honestly say only a handful have said ''congratulations'' when they first found out, the majority getting a look of horror on their faces and exclaiming quite loudly ''OH, MY GOD''. This, to say the very least is EXTREMELY disheartening. All one is supposed to say is, God Bless or Congrats. A running commentary about how CRAZY I must be, or that I'm going to be busy (duh Fred) is completely unwanted and unwarranted. It's not like I'm having my 25th child! And even if I was, it's really no-ones business, so there!
And anyway, aren't I doing just what our esteemed Treasurer has asked of us? ``One for mum, one for dad and one for your country''. I is a true blue Aussie I is.
Now, I've got that little tirade out of my system, I'd better get back to work.
I promise not to leave it five months before I blog again.
Love and Kisses,
H

A diamond jewellrey package and a wink from Larry
What a WHEELY good time I had tonight!
So, I have fulfilled one of my life long ambitions, to go on Wheel of Fortune! I didn't however make it to the final round (the champ was too good and I spun up a Lose a Turn) but, I solved one puzzle and got a diamond package! Woo hoo. It was really fun, and I'd recommend everyone to have a shot (c'mon it's not brain surgery). Even Darp came along to cheer me one!
And my little girls got to be on TV! Too cute! All the camera men/crew thought tara and Eden were delicious, even Deeks-ie tried to feed Eden her din dins. Ohhh, Bless
Will keep you posted as to when the episode will be on air so you can check out how HOT I look.

My Ultimate fantasy
Now, before your little lascivious minds start thinking that I'm some sort of sexual freak writing about my ultimate fantasy, anyone that knows me knows exactly what my dream is.
To meet PRINCE
I fantasize about what I'd say to him, what I would do, how I would react. I think about it while I'm washing the dishes, shaving my legs and even when I'm eating. I concoct little scenarios in my head, even sometimes act them out out loud in front of the mirror. (No, I'm NOT schizophrenic)
Now, everyone knows, that Prince has offered some lucky buggers a chance to meet him and attend a private concert in his home. I literally swooned when I heard this.
For those who don't know, Prince hid some purple tickets in his new album 3121 (a la Charlie and the chocolate Factory). I didn't get one.
But, last night on Rove live, a competition was announced where you had to say why you are the biggest Prince fan and what you would do to meet him.
Naturally, I entered. And a bloody good entry it was.I have never won anything in my life (except for Bingo on the odd occasion). But I'm a nice eperson, so I'm hoping Karma will smile on me and give this chance of a lifetime,
Oh Prince, I love you so!

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY
Can you believe two years have gone by?
My beautiful Tara is 2 and still amazes me every day.
Her favourite word is NO (isn't every toddlers?) and she loves telling people she's TWO and holds up five fingers.
Every day is an adventure, every day she does or says something that makes me cry with laughter and want to scoop her up and smother her in kisses.
I am truly blessed.
My other gorgeous wonderful daughter is stunning, has four teeth now and commando crawling.
Am I the luckiest woman on earth? I think so

If you would like to laugh....
This might be the laziest post I have written, but I'm really busy today, but have been pestered by friends to blog more.
So, I'm going to point you in the direction of some funny things that have happened to me since becoming a mum. They weren't funny at the time, but now I find them quite hilarious

Still looking for a part-time job
How's this for a laugh
I applied for a journalist role at the....
wait for it.....
you're gonna piss yourself....
The Australian Jewish News!
I suppose this is my own little social experiment. I bet I get a standard, ''Thanks but not thanks'' rejection. I even stated my expertise in Palestinian - Israeli issues.
On a serious note however, how exciting would it be if I actually got a call back. That Editor would have to have balls. I think his name is Goldberg or Spielberg or, Katz or something like that.
Will let you know how I go. P.S I'm not anti-semitic.
On a completely different topic. The Bali 9. If the Australian government - and specifically John bloody Howard - don't do something (and when I mean something I mean STOP the executions) this travesty of justice, this barbarous event will be one the darkest, bloodiest blotches in Australian history.
John Howard - pull your finger out. Telling ``young Australians'' not to import drugs is NOT enough.
Now on another completely different topic.
The Biggest Loser T.V show.
I have been watching this all week and really have found myself scratching my head - especially tonight as I sat stuffing my face with Dominos Pizza and Coke Zero. It was something my husband said. Did these fatty boombaladas just wake up one morning at 30000 kgs and say, ''ohh I'm fat. How did I get to this size.''
Seriously FOUR words
LESS FOOD MORE EXERCISE
That's my two cents tonight, I hope you enjoyed reading.
And from one cheesy person to another (Go on, you all love Johnny Young)
``Close your eyes and I'll kiss you..
Goodnight Australia.

Friday 17 February 2006
Okay, so I promised last post I would catch all my readers up to speed - but I lied. Well, I had ever intention, but life has a way of getting the better of you. In a nutshell this is what's been going on the last 2 and a half months:
Three trips to the Emergency Room - Tara falling down the stairs resulting in a pulled elbow. She also gave herself a paper cut to the eye (don't ask) and one trip for me. I broke my pinky toe. Now before you laugh, it freakin hurt like billy-o and it's now a demented shape. My 12th broken bone. You should have seen the radiologist's eyes pop out of his head when he was handed my file. I told him I was accident prone - they think my husband bashes me.
Christmas and New Year - need I say more? Thank God for Ebay where I did all my Christmas Shopping.
A bout of icky toddler diahhreah, one high fever (Eden's first) and a friend's 30th Birthday party. My gorgeous angel Eden is still not crawling, but does this stomach-shimmy and roll to get about. She's so chubby cute, I just want to eat her thighs.
Ohh and let's not forget no sleep. I've had that many hairy nights e.g both Tara and Eden waking at 1am and falling asleep at 5.30am I'm ready to run straight into a brick wall and knock myself out.
I do have one major thing I'm looking forward to.
TARA'S 2ND BIRTHDAY
Can you believe it? I'm super excited as we are taking her and her cousins to an indoor playcentre to just run amock. She can now put five word sentences together (a little genius like her mum) and has been practicing all week how she's going to blow out her candles at her ``PAR-TEEE''
And I'm also super excited about another big event coming up. A really dear, sweet friend of mine who relocated to the States a few years ago is coming home to get married. I CAN'T WAIT to see you Aff-faces (she knows who she is).
Okay, I'll go check the buggers are still in bed and then I'll post again. I have so much I want to write. Eden has rolled off my bed twice in two weeks. Lucky she's chubby. She just bounced back up.

And I'm also super excited about another big event coming up. A really dear, sweet friend of mine who relocated to the States a few years ago is coming home to get married. I CAN'T WAIT to see you Aff-faces (she knows who she is).
Okay, I'll go check the buggers are still in bed and then I'll post again. I have so much I want to write. Eden has rolled off my bed twice in two weeks. Lucky she's chubby. She just bounced back up.

Hamas won the election?
OK, I'm back
Full rewind later.
But, I really don't have time to blog right now, but I just couldn't help jotting down a few words on the Palestinian elections.
HAMAS won?
Surprised? No, not really. Well a little. I need to contemplate this major change before I can write anything that makes sense.
I suppose people have been growing more and more disenfranchised with FATAH.
Anyway have to run, I promise to update. In the meantime, please feel free to leave a comment.
