In The Wake Of A Fire 2007-10-24 03:24:00 This is a photo of my brothers high school as it burnt down last night. I feel a certain sense of ownership as it is also my old high school.
It was arson.
You can read about it here if you like.
What kind of lowlife person burns down a school? Especially a school in an area like Bridgewater. For those of you who don't know (most of you probably) Bridgewater is predominantely a welfare suburb,
The Adventure 2007-10-24 02:38:00 We went adventuring!
Amy had a ball at the show, she got to see all the animals and she was generally quite well behaved. It was quite a hot day and I was pleased to see Amy keep her hat on her head (well mostly).
Her favourite thing seemed to be the pigs and the pen that had peacocks, ducks (she adores ducks), a few chooks and a peahen.
It was very cute watching her point and try to repeat Read more:Adventure
100 Things About Me. 2007-10-31 20:53:00 It's my 100th post! This may take a little while, so go and grab a cup of whatever you drink, go to the loo, whatever you need to do to get comfy.
Okay ready?
1. I HATE the colour pink.
2. My blog was only pink in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
3. As much as I hate pink, Amy has more pink clothes than any other colour.
4. And I make her wear them.
5. I feel the cold something
To A Friend On Her Wedding Day 2007-10-31 03:56:00 My friend got married today and I wasn't able to make her ceremony. So this is for her.
You came to the school when I was in grade 2. Chloe seemed to think that she had dibs on being your friend, because you had moved into the house behind hers.
The teachers however, asked me to show you around. I don't think Chloe liked me after that.
You went to my Nan's house every day after school for
She Is Back On 2007-10-31 03:42:00 Babies, I have an apology to make. I was weak for 2 nights last week. I slept a little better for Mummy and I was happy.
But now? The situation has been rectified. Last night, I heard Mummy come to bed. I waited 15mins until I heard her start to breathe deeply and I woke up squealing. I refused sleep for another 2 hours.
When sleep finally claimed me, I fought back with a vengance. I made Mummy
This Made Me Laugh 2007-10-30 04:40:00 I googled chinese horoscopes earlier, looking to find out what 2008 is the year of (it's the rat) and I found this here:
Dragon : 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000
Dragon is very happy to see the pig. After a year of challenges by the yipping dog, the dragon is ready to sit at the banquet table and rest. The tired dragon must remember
My Brother 2007-10-30 02:09:00 I had my 13 year old brother, Dave, come around yesterday and stay the night. I love him dearly, but my word he can be annoying.
He was in the kitchen, about to do my dishes (one of the reasons I let him come visit) when he found my deodorant.
Yes, I keep my deodorant in the kitchen. I kinda always forget to put deodorant on until we are just about to walk out the door and if I keep it in the Read more:Brother
Peace 2007-10-29 04:47:00 There is a silence in the house, broken only by the faint sounds of the TV. Amy is upstairs, sleeping soundly, as is Nathan.
I can hear the wind whistling down the chimney, it rushes and roars, but I don't hear it so much anymore. There are things I should be doing, I have a half read book that I want to finish, the dinner dishes sit in the sink and I have a load (or two) of washing that needs Read more:Peace
Chocolate, How I Love Thee 2007-10-28 20:46:00 I went to the doctor the other day, just to touch base (again) and to see if he had any new ideas for managing my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Uh yeah, I don't like his new idea.
Apparently I am to go a month without chocolate (chocolate people!!!) and see what happens.
See what happens? I may just kill my family due to stress. I told him that I would start the trial when the chocolate supplies Read more:Chocolate
Do Ducks Like Milk? 2007-10-28 04:57:00 Amy has a stuffed toy duck that she has recently taken to carrying around everywhere. She HAS to have it at bedtime, or else she spends all her time hunting for it and not sleeping.
Tonight, I was giving Amy her bedtime feed and she wasn't cuddling Ducky. Ducky was down near my knees instead, so I picked him up and tucked him under her arm before she started to miss him.
She pulled off the boob Read more:Ducks
Bah! Sleep! 2007-10-27 21:58:00 The revolution is back on track children. Last night I got up every 2hrs for Mum and fed for 20mins each time. She thinks I am sleeping at the moment BUT SHE IS WRONG!!! Sleep
is for the weak! I don't need sleep, who needs sleep? Not me!
My 2 nights in a row that had 6hr sleeps were just to lull Mummy into a false sense of security. To make getting up every 2hrs even harder when it happened. It
Sorry 2007-11-04 20:59:00 Sorry, no coherant thoughts from me today. Nathan and I have both come down with a stomach bug and we are sick as dogs.
Amy is not at all sick, actually she is a ball of bouncing energy. I have enlisted my mother to look after her while Nat and I go to the doctors. Thank goodness for grandparents!
Hope everyone else is well.
An Open Letter To Amy 2007-11-03 22:05:00 Oh, it's still day 4 of NaBloPoMoNoGo ahhh whatever.
Does anyone else get sick of trying to write the damn thing? No? It's just me? Okay, I will shutup.
Onto the proper blog.
Ahem. Cough cough.
Amy,
I know you are staging a revolution and while I respect your independence, I feel a certain need to stop this revolution before it gets out of hand.
I know that you have been talking to other Read more:Letter
Why It Is So Hard 2007-11-03 17:42:00 Day #4 of NaBloMoPo.
You see that little linky up there? Yes that one! If you click on it, it will take you to my NaBlo page and then! you can add me as a friend!
See how exciting it is?
Now I'm finding blogging a little hard today, not because there are no words, 'cos believe you me there are lots of words. No, it is hard because the short person (ah yeah that would be Amy) keeps trying to
Amy The Great 2007-11-02 17:57:00 Yesterday I fed the cat outside, as you do. Amy was outside playing and decided that playing in the cat food was a great idea.
Luckily the cat is pretty placid. For a time, the cat and Amy played side by side, Amy touching the cat food and squealing and the cat eating.
Amy decided that the cat was no longer allowed to eat the cat food. She pulled the bowl into her lap and smacked the cat on the Read more:Great
More About Chocolate 2007-11-01 20:11:00 Day 2 of NaBloPoMo.
Okay so the whole giving up chocolate thing? Not going so well. I figured that the because the doctor doesn't want to see me for another couple of months, I can pick and choose when I have to go chocolateless.
PLUS it is NaBloMoPo and how exactly am I supposed to blog without chocolate? AND it is my birthday soon and I can't go chocolateless for my birthday.
It. Is. Just. Read more:Chocolate
New Stuff! 2007-11-01 20:21:00 Oh oh oh!! *jumps up and down excitedly* I forgot to mention...
I set up a brand new blogroll and a page for my buttons.
Yes I shamelessly stole the idea from Lotus, but see, it isn't so bad, because I am giving her credit for my ideas.
I hope she doesn't hit me.
So if you would like to be included on my blogroll, or if I have accidentally forgotton to add you send me an email (
A Very Serious Business 2007-11-10 02:57:00 Here at my house we take our baby making duties seriously.
After some huge amounts of tummy bloating (I look pregnant) and some nausea, a crampy feel in my right side and a negative pregnancy test (again!) measures needed to be taken.
Egg white like cervical mucus was observed (TMI?) and the proposition was made (I propositioned, not him. He was just counting his blessings).
The Nookie ensued. Read more:Business
Age Is A Relative Term 2007-11-09 16:28:00 Today, I feel old.
You know how being a young mum is awesome because I have so much energy (supposedly)?
Yeah, today I feel old. And jaded.
I was out at the shopping centre yesterday and I was people watching. Like I do. Do you know how many teenagers** I felt like slapping?
HEAPS!!!
I felt like yelling at them to get over themselves! I feel so old in comparison.
Now don't get me wrong, I Read more:Relative
Morning Time With Toddler 2007-11-09 15:16:00 Morning time with Toddler is not my best time.
You know those gorgeous morning smiles that most children give? Not Toddler.
Breakfast? Breakfast is for babies. Not Toddler.
Clothes? When Toddler could run around naked?
Toys? Nope not Toddler.
Clinging to legs as Mummy tries to use the toilet? Yep all the way.
Nappy changes? WOE THE WORLD IS ENDING!!!!!
So you see, mornings are not the best Read more:Morning
Heavenly 2007-11-09 03:29:00 Oooooh yep, I'm in heaven right now.
Amy is asleep, Nathan is out having a few drinks at my parents and I, well I am relaxing in BED with my laptop and chocolate.
It so couldn't be any better.

Amy has learnt to jump on her bed. I will be downstairs, after swearing black and blue that she is asleep and then....

A Poem 2007-11-09 02:29:00 Death Shall Have No Dominion
And death shall have no dominion.
Dead men naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no
Idea's Appreciated 2007-11-08 02:23:00 Okay I was pissed off and upset, but I am no longer! (Nathan asked me to take the angry post down, so I did. Why? Because I wasn't angry anymore)
Needless to say, there was a quiz line (55c min), 58 phone calls and a drunken Nathan, then there was a phone bill. No big deal. Well at least not now.
It's my birthday on Monday (all gifts graciously accepted hint hint) and I am stuck for ideas. I
Mummy Thinks I Am Still Asleep... 2007-11-07 19:58:00 Last night I switched from perfect child mode back into The Revolutionary.
I went to bed at 6pm and by 10pm I had made Mummy
run up and down the stairs 25 times. I know this because Mummy told me.
'Amy for goodness sakes it is BEDTIME. You are TIRED. Go back to sleep and STAY that way. I have been up and down the stairs 25 TIMES ALREADY!!! SLEEP!!!'
Or something like that. I was too busy
A Bit Of An Update On The Baby Situation 2007-11-07 02:24:00 Okay, I figured you would all be dying to know whether I am up the duff or not yet. You aren't dying to know? Okay, I won't bother....
....Okay then, I will update. *pokes out tongue at the dissenters*
My period was due yesterday and SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE I didn't get it. However before you all get your hopes up, a pregnancy test this morning was flatly negative.

Here A Meme, There A Meme, Everywhere A Meme 2007-11-06 18:54:00 The wonderfull and ever so popular Lotus, (you know I'm envious right?) tagged me for a meme (she still loves me! Even if I do steal her ideas and let her find all the fun people before stealing them too).
So here it is.

For Your Viewing Pleasure 2007-11-05 16:20:00 I haven't been the worlds best blogger lately, what with all the illness and stuff. So here, for your viewing pleasure are some new photo's of Amy.
I have to keep her pram folded up, on it's back so that she can climb in and out of the hood. If I dare to leave the pram unfolded, well she pushes it over to the table and climbs up into it anyway. At least if it is folded she Read more:Viewing

Better, Sort Of 2007-11-05 16:12:00 Thanks guys for all your well wishes yesterday. Whatever I had it was horrid and I never want it back. Nathan had it too, but he came right about 5pm (bastard), it took til 2am for me to even feel like sleeping.
Nathan was amazing with Amy (kudos honey), getting her dressed, changing nappies, feeding her dinner. I think I am going to have to make him share the workload more often :).
But I am
We're Off To See The Wizard! 2007-11-14 19:35:00 (Not sure what the title has to do with anything. I had titlers block.)
I went Christmas shopping the other day -
(to all you people that have had your Xmas presents bought and wrapped since July, YOU ARE WEIRD!)
Nathan and I strolled though the toy section at Big W and then K-mart. After a few aisles, we discovered that all the plastic, brightly coloured toys are CRAP!
We looked for Read more:Wizard
