Reporting back

Last night was good. Small group of friends, dinner, drinks and singing.

There were no shenanigans other than a veil with devil horns....thanks guys.

(Oh and a hens night is a bachelorette party.....female bucks night....I don't know, the last party before you get married with a group of female friends)

Hens Night

I've got my Hens night tonight.....there better be no shenanigans.

Im looking forward to some drinks and singstar action (have I mentioned I kick butt at this thing?) followed by a night of sleep without kids.

How wild of me. I will report back tomorrow.

What?

This morning I took Mali to her favourite park. Everything was good, we went early so there wouldnt be heaps of people then the devil appeared. Mali wanted to go and play on the rope climbing thingy and I said no.

She SPAT at me!!

Where on earth did she learn this?? I don't spit, David doesn't spit. The only time we spit is if we tell her to spit out after brushing her teeth. And it wasn't like she spat at me without knowing it was bad. She pulled a horrible face and spat AT me. She doesn't go to daycare so I don't know where she got this from.

So being the mean mum that I can be, we left straight away. Maybe a warning was called for first, but her behavior has been, well that of a 2 year old lately and I'm trying to get her to realize that I mean business. So far I don't think its working. If I tell her that she needs to be a good girl I mostly just get screaming of 'I'm being a good girl' with tears and pushing and yelling.....

This too shall pass, right?

Photo time

But....

Not so thankful for banning gay marriages in some states. Not that my country is any better on this topic and I wish we had a chance to vote and even one state where it was legal.

At least I can hold on to the fact that I'm sure it will become legal within my lifetime. It annoys me to no end that at my wedding the celebrant will have to say the bit about marriage being between a man and woman.

Thankyou

Thank you America......That is all

Sugar coating it

Sitting at the dinner table and Mali as usual is kicking Daddy in the leg. I think she does it without even realizing.
Daddy: Mali, would you please stop kicking my leg?
Mali: Um...I'm just patting it with my foots, ok?
Daddy: No, you kicking me, please stop.
Mali: No, its nice, I'm just patting you with my foots.

Ready for this?

Its a big one!!



Alex slept through the night!! Last night she slept from 7:20pm til 6 amazing am.

Of course I didn't sleep and had to check her every 15 minutes, but this is a child who her longest sleep has been 5 hours (and that was only once). I know theres no guarantees for tonight or the night after, but its a start.

On a side note - Mali is watching cartoons and one just finished. She exclaimed 'It finished, Goodness me!'

Tires...I mean Tired......Ughh

Im so tired. Alex doesn't sleep unless she is attached to the boob and I cant sleep when she is there. Last night she woke at 1am and fed until 6:30am when she was wide awake, as was Mali who was kicking me in the back. Thanks Dad for bringing her to bed at 5am this morning!!

I've had enough. Starting tonight Alex will be forced to have bottles during the night and if she wont go back to sleep in the bassinet she can have a dummy or scream. I cant keep doing this.

I had a tooth pulled today and all I was hoping for was that the pain would be enough that I would HAVE to have someone else watch the girls so I could sleep alone for a few hours. Wasn't quite painful enough and I sucked it up and took the both home for a nap with one kicking me in the back and the other glued to my boob.
