Busy Day

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Yesterday was pretty busy though I didn’t think it would be at the outset. My intention was to go to Walmart and come back, help Mum with some school work and generally veg given I still have the dregs of this cold that’s hanging on. Except fate didn’t let things go that way. First my [...]

Disability Frustrations

Friday, November 20th, 2009

I finally got a letter from disability yesterday, as soon as Kore picked it up at the mailbox I knew that it was bad news. There didn’t seem to be enough in there for there to be anything different, and I was right. They’ve denied my claim. I shouldn’t be surprised by this because I [...]

However while Kore and I had been finishing up our various dishes, [...]

Him: Mummy, I want french fries.

Him: May I has french fries, please!
Me: Okay. I — wait — you still have french fries that I gave you [...]

Monday, May 11th, 2009

I used to think people were making up the fact that once you become a Mum you can handle pretty much anything; but I’m coming to realize that’s exactly true.
Vomit used to make me hurl. I couldn’t be near it, if someone around me threw up I ran the other way. Since having my son [...]
