A Knucklehead Update!!!
2008-06-24 11:03:00
Well, my darling Damien is currently on the South African three week long, winter school holiday. Oh joy (Damien's current favourite saying)... A bored Damien is never a good thing- he has not yet found a job, his friends are not within walking distance, and I have not yet replaced/ refilled my fire extinguishers (yes I know- I'm a bad mommy), I just haven't got around to it! He's just finished

Concerta turned out to be a kind of a blessing and a curse all mixed together in a white tablet to be taken once a day, with breakfast :) it's about two weeks now that Kay's on the medication and although I'm trying soooooo hard to be negative about this... so i can just tell his doc..... sorry this drug is just not for my kid ok!? sigh it's kind of working... wonders who knew? the new focused


The Kid Update
2008-06-22 09:39:00
My absence has been inexcusable. Let me fill you in on what's happening with The Kid: He has one tooth. One at the bottom. It's partner is taking so long to come through. He was completely miserable throughout. He now bites me. Often. Little snot. He has discovered how to leopard crawl. You know, dragging himself along the floor by his arms. He's exploring everything, pulling the curtains, the

When did you first realise that you were somebody's mother? both my kids were planned, i loved being pregnant, i love everything about motherhood, i truly do... what i didn't realise was that i was due to raise these two beasts alone, that was kind of a deal

Feeling Bad
2008-07-04 02:36:00
Okay, I know every mother goes through this, and I know it's not the end of the world, but I am feeling a little [okay, a LOT] guilty. Today is The Kid's first time at day care. It feels like I'm admitting that I'm not capable of looking after my own child by myself. Not capable of being a mother, because I have commitments other than my child. The first draft of my thesis is due on the 18th of

Jackson James. He was only three months old in this photo, but, to this day, it is still one of my most favourite pictures of him. 2. Tell us all 3 things we wouldn't know about you. 1.

If you've all been wondering where MamaMeeA is... well, she's been hatching herself a new baby boy. Due in October. She's taken a bit of a break from blogging to deal with all the overwhelmingness of it all, and hopes to return soon. In the mean time I thought everyone would like to know, so they can wish her well!

It's All Been One Expensive Mistake
2008-07-01 01:15:00
I have this theory, and it seems to pan out mostly. Unplanned pregnancies have an effect on the way you feel toward your child. Women who plan their pregnancies are grateful for them, switch automatically into mothering mode, and seem to relish their new role. I also think that the kind of birth you have, affects your relationship with your child. Now my pregnancy was definitely unplanned and I

Does It Ever Really Sink In?
2008-06-30 00:16:00
I have a friend who is a very new mother. Her baby boy was born last Tuesday. She has been battling like I never imagined possible. Seemingly no natural maternal instincts, no idea of what can harm her baby. It may seem judgmental to say that. And you might think that it's the pot calling the kettle black, and I wish I could help her, but her and her boyfriend seem to be refusing help. Which is


3 things that could be frowned upon
2008-07-24 14:43:00
The question for the week: What 3 things do you do, as a mother, that goes against all the books? Here are mine: 1. Kids get chips, or whatever is readily available, to eat to tide them over until dinner is ready. My mom would NEVER have done that! The problem is that I can never get home early enough to have supper ready in time, and I'd rather they not scream the place down while I'm

It's late, sorry... but since I have been wracking my brain about what to put on this here list of 7-mommy-related-simply-can't-do-things, I am going to post it no matter what! Naturally as Damien gets older, it gets easier and easier to do things I couldn’t do before… So I’m going to go back in time, and jump around a little, to things I couldn’t do before but can do now and vice-versa.

I know I'm a bit late, but here's my homework for last week! I'll post this week's homework tomorrow night. Ummm, this ended up being more difficult than I thought it would be. 1. Go to the loo without having an audience! Just when the oldest one stopped being fascinated by me on the loo, I went and had another child! 2. Do crafts.

Dear Cameron, As you grow (and my word, you are growing so fast and so awesomely), you have one element of life as a girl of which I am so proud and yet, it is so very tiring. You, my girl, from your earliest days, have been and always will be, a shoe fetishist. The good kind though, you do not demand the purchase of a million pairs of shoes all at once. The good kind is the type where you LIKE a

Seven things i cannot do since i became a mommy
2008-07-17 10:01:00
It is in my opinion that although we feel we are super moms sometimes there are a few things i can no longer do or perhapes CHOOSE no longer to do. 1. Sleep with my door locked. Now although this is done when mom and dad have some fun, it is unlocked at all other times. I want to get to them quickly and need to know they can get to me if need be. 2.

1. Not be a kidlet person. I was the worst type of kidlet person. I could never understand why or how ANYONE would want to have a snot-nosed brat. Never mind two. Or god and heavens above, three, four or any number of them. Nowadays, you can't pass me in the street without me wanting to peer into your bundled package of cuteness. 2. Cook and eat a three-course meal. Nobody gets the chance to do

The resemblance of said snotty child's face to a glazed donut is disgustingly alike. 2. ...pretending not to notice how, when other mommies walking their babies in prams past me, stare into my pram and have a look at my kid.

For example: "No, Jackson, cat kibble does not belong up your nose." 3. Hear any sad child-related news story without sobbing big sobby tears. 4.

Discipline

Discipline. It’s that quintessential life principle that gets drummed into us from day bloody one. I need you to know this before I continue, I hate rules. I loathe being told “no, you can’t do that”. So, when it comes to discipline, I battle. But, as life has grown me up and made me think about things over and over again, I’ve developed and stick to my own set of rules. For that, I blam

To Pet or not to Pet . . .
2008-08-05 06:34:00
I honestly don't think a pet gives children any sense of responsibility at all. Unless you insist they feed said pet, and then said pet would die because said child would not feed said pet. Then said child would cry and said parent could say "Well you obviously aren't responsible for a pet yet, are you?". Said parent would be a bit of an ass though, wouldn't they? I got Ciara a cat w

So Yndic asked about pets - what you think about them, and the role your child must play in the new family members' life. The Kid has a puppy. The Kid is 8 months old. And yes, he has a pet. His name is Earl. The Kid loves this damn dog. Even though I'm battling to house-train this freaking furball. Even though he chews holes in The Boyfriends underpants. Even though he chews everything he
