NO NO NO NO NO! When you're two it's your favourite word!


She looks sweet, doesn't she?
Well, our sweet, sweet Eden has turned into a screaming, tantum throwing, bullying, screeching stubborn 2-and-a-bit year old.
While she's still utterly edible, the "NO's" are really getting to me.
On an hourly basis, Tara and her have ear-pitching screaming matches I'm sure everyone within a 5km radium can hear them.
I think I need to invest in some wax earplugs!

'Tis the season to be sniffly!

Having three little children to take care of (four including my husband) during this cough and cold period is, in a nutshell exhausting.

Runny noses, "mum, wipe my nose", fever "mum, i'm hot", runny noses "mum, i need a tissue NOW" is all I've been dealing with for the last week. The most disgusting thing is when they sneeze and two sausage shaped green slugs hang like algae, often past their rosy lips only to be licked up by greedy little tongues...mmm tasty.

The only saving grace has been a combination of Panadol, Nurofen and Dimmetapp (in my opinion, the best of the three as it knocks them out, only joking)
It's a good think doctor mum hasn't got the leurgy - hubby refuses to kiss me - or else I'd have to hire a nanny, or three.

Oh, I also had a nasty fall which resulted in a concussion and posible fracture of my (pride) elbow. And, for all those who know me, don't roll your eyes, I know I'm clumsy, but honest it wasn't my fault this time, the chair slipped. Another xray has been added to my mammoth pile.

On the book front, it's really steam-rolling ahead, a little scary yet exciting nevertheless.

That's about it, keep smiling and wear your face masks when you go out.
