Lunchtime Conversations

By -
We had some interesting chats today after school. We like to talk about our *highs n lows* of the day - it often sparks some highly entertaining conversations or snippets.

Lulu was telling me stories about her classmates and then adds:

 "and J is also quite off the hook at school Mom!" 

Hooli was recollecting some stories and then I heard him referring to a "Pitsniffer"!
Well, we are highly anti-namecalling in this house but I almost collapsed with laughter. Seriously, that has to be one for the books!

Young Honey had a few *moments* today where she engaged in some less than stellar language.
 The first infraction "I dont give a damn" resulted in Tobasco which made not a shred of difference as she appears to be immune to its bite.

Later she referred to a sibling as a Smart Arse so I decided to revert to good old washing out the mouth with soap.

I wish I could say it was a success but it was more like a comedy side-show with my rubbing down her tongue with soap; Hooli and Lulu looking on in wonder and Honey herself in fits of giggles. I have to confess it was all too much for me and I relented and joined in laughing at the ridiculousness of it all! Some things are seriously not for this millenium.

What made you laugh today?

Don't you find these snippets and quips come at such a rate you forget so many of them? How did your week in the life go?

This is actually hysterical! We had bookclub last night and one of the members had her birthday - but as next Tuesday is a public holiday, she agreed to have it on her birthday. The lady that hosted actually threw her a kiddies party, complete with cupcakes and Sponge Bob party packs for use. I am still giggling about it all.

Of course you know that if you laugh with them you're dead in the water!?
Question is: what can you do thats scary enough for her to stop the stuff?

Hello April 2024

By -
We have settled into our new home.  It has taken many twists and turns along the way. In August 2022, Rach moved out and now she is returning home. Which means I am renovating the tiny house to make space for my firstborn.  I can safely say I am very excited to have everyone under the roof again - I was not ready for my eldest to leave so soon. It was never the plan. Life has a way of offering second chances and restoration in way we never can imagine. Although this comes with its own set of challenges - for her and for me - I see it as an absolute win. It may be a revolving door and various permutations in the years ahead but this is almost certainly the last year all 3 kids will be under my roof. This blog was born in 2007 - when Levi was under a year old. I spent the next 8 years sharing my life and theirs right here.  I have battled to figure out what this blog now needs to be ?  Am I going to continue to write for my kids? I am not even sure they need that anymo...

Silent Tears

As I was rushing around putting kids to bed my tween, Honey, beckoned to me. 'Come here Mom, I need to talk to you.' Something in her tone slowed me down and forced me to take a breath and follow her into her bedroom. As I looked at my beautiful daughter, growing up so fast I heard these words tumble out of her mouth: 'Mom, I hate my face. I am ugly'. I cannot tell you how unprepared I was for this statement. And yet, in an instant, I remembered this time in my life; when I looked in the mirror and didnt like what I saw. I listened quietly as she went through each of her stunning features and told me what she saw. I know there is little I can say with objectivity as her mother. She wont believe me just as I didnt believe my mother. I am happy to say when she woke up this morning she was her usual cheerful self. Full of beans, energy and confidence. Not a glimmer of the sad, insecure little person I saw the previous evening. I will have to start anticipatin...

April lockdown life

By -
The weekend went by in a blur.  A blur of eating, lounging, sleeping, netflixing, occasional exercise and general malaise. I did, finally, get around to setting my kids loose to find their Easter eggs...a week later but no one really knows what day of the week or month it is anyways. There was much hilarity as the boyf took his life in his hands and pushed the girlf into the pool to celebrate Easter victory. Usually this would have him sin-binned for hours but she took it unusually well.... I spent some time online searching for ways to pivot the business I work for...in an attempt to keep my income rolling in. Sadly my rental properties are not ticking over as my tenants cannot pay rent...this will be month 2 of zero rental income for me which is terrifying..but I cannot blame them. We are all suffering at the hands of this ridiculous outbreak and can only hope that some sort of revenue generating income finds its way into our economy soon. I have started watching Outlande...
