Hubbie’s vacation from work is almost at an end. He goes back to work tomorrow. He’s enjoyed his time off. It’s like using spa filters on his brain. He’s needed to cleanse from the stressful things that have been going on. The job itself he enjoys but as with any job there’s always a lot [...]

Every once in a while I remember random events from the past. I’ve been reflecting a lot on school times with the munchkin getting ready to start school in August. I have to wonder what the munchkin will go through based on what I experienced. I also wonder what the differences will be. When I [...]

Today has had that “one of those days” aspects to it. I woke up later than I anticipated. It took me forever to get going. I couldn’t find my keys. I stubbed my toe on our office furniture. Then as I was making lunch I caught my nose piercing on my finger nail and ripped [...]

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 [...]

My Mum volunteered to look after the munchkin today while I went to the chiropractor. I called when we were on the way back, but she said she was going to take him out to lunch so she would be back later. About an hour ago she called to say that she’d promised him that [...]

A lesson learned the hard way yesterday. We had a friend over and the group of us were having a meal and putting things together. I had made sushi, Kore made peanut satay and the friend had brought barbecue ribs (an interesting combination for sure!) However while Kore and I had been finishing up our [...]

My son and I were just having a debate. Yes, my son is only three, but still debates are a not a rarity around this house. Him: Mummy, I want french fries. Me: How do you ask? Him: May I has french fries, please! Me: Okay. I — wait — you still have french fries [...]

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 [...]
