1- Busy time of year. Busy.
2- We are putting in an offer to buy a house in CDA. Oooh. Scary, happy, eek! I hope its accepted. We also need an accountant or financial adviser that can do international taxes…heelllllp!
3- Im eating too many dates and chocolates again. So sweet. So very sweet. I don’t drink or smoke or eat wheat products….but its clear I have a sugar addiction. Probably to cope with my lack of sleep. We figured that I average 5 hours of sleep each night. One of my new goals is to sleep more (way more) and eat less (like, way less).
4- Jayde had diahorrea and felt ill tonight. Her throat is also sore. Why does this always happen the last day before school holidays start? I hope she feels better in the morning.
5- Earlier this week I had severe gluten poisoning. I ran out of the shops into the restrooms in a tremendous hurry. Through a crack in the stall, I saw a man come in and thought he was a pervert or a kidnapper and inwardly freaked out. Then I checked the door on the way out and realised that I had indecently breached the gender boundaries in society. *blush*
5- Did I mention there’s one day before school holidays? Our little girl is finished first grade! Time has flown… *sniff sniff*.
6- Over New Years we are going camping. Just a 4 day trip, only an hour and a halfs drive away. We are going with another family who are great friends of ours, its going to be so much fun. J
7- Levi has developed a serious stutter which makes it hard for him to put words together or say ‘I’, ‘you’, or ‘yes mum of course I will obey you without question’ etc. I thought I was imagining things or being overly critical, but then a friend of ours (early learning specialist) noticed it and approached me. Its getting pretty bad. I should probably take him to a speech pathologist? Arghghgh.
8- Levi also needs to go to the dentist. People are starting to call him Fang. (When I say ‘people’, I mean Jack). Fang decided to grow an extra tooth. There’s no symmetry anymore. And the worst part is, it looks like an adult tooth. Dentist, post haste, methinks.
8b- Levi got his hair cut today. He looks like a clown. His hair looks like its been constantly static electrified and theres nothing I can do about it. Poor Levi.
9- Extensions are underway on the deck. Its no longer a deck. It has frames, and siding and a roof and wires draped around. Cool.
10- Every single night at 1150pm our neighbours business alarm goes off. It GOES OFF for ages. Like 15 minutes or so. How does this happen? HOW CAN IT HAPPEN EVERY NIGHT AT THE SAME TIME?
10b- there is also a BIRD that starts squawking at 130am every morning. Like when its still dark. That bird is beyond confused. Am I on some reality show where frustrating environmental factors are introduced just to see if they annoy me? If so, its working.
11- 1215am- Jayde just vomited. Darnit. I didn’t mention it, because it may sound like bragging, but she was selected out of 126 kids to represent Year One in the school talent quest tomorrow. Looks like she will probably miss out, poor kid :(
1226am- I feel queasy. Is it the vomit smell or a stomach bug? Only time will tell....
