Where have I been?

No one really cared enough to ask (except one) so I'm not telling!!! See now I'm all shitty and sulky. I have been damn busy is all. Busy busy busy. Doing doin doing lots of stuff...So there PHAAAAAAAT!!!!

Mr Almost 3 is three next week so we had to go shopping for a birthday present, and found a few items to ask Father Christmas for for the others. Nice that the shops have all the Christmas stuff out NOW....TWO WHOLE MONTHS BEFORE YULETIDE!!!!!! Miss 8 has asked if Santa will still come if we are getting the puppy early...Santa told me it was ok because the puppy needs to know he has a family BEFORE Christmas comes. This is very important to Santa as he needs to know that the puppy will be happy,loved and looked after before he delivers presents.

2IC has been ill (STILL) and amidst losing his voice and coughing fits and lack of sleep, I convinced him that he needed to attend the doctor again, which ended in 3 days away from work, a blood test, chest x ray, 3rd lot of antibiotics and a dose of steroids. I say three days away from work as that's all it was as he worked from home on the laptop and mobile.
I have been gyming it big time at least two nights per week and walking whenever possible, doing the garden, planting some seeds, this and that.

Mr 5 is doing ok but getting very angry and frustrated as he is being pushed to his upper limits at the moment by kinder and EIP in order to "condition" him for school a bit. Most days he doesn't want to attend kinder, hates it and tells me all the kids are "rats" (brats)...But so am I a brat when he is angry with me.

I have been on a cooking binge trying new recipes and "fibbing" about the content to the kids ..."Yes, that is chicken...Its just cut different" "no, no , it's not stir fry..Its pasta and vegies"

Oh well got to go, got washing to fold, you know the drill, don't forget to feed the fish....................
