Guinness is good for you!

I had just put Dexter in the pram and was about to walk with Willow to our ABA meeting. I thought she might like to take some water, so I asked her to grab her water bottle from the fridge. She said that she’d grab one for me too, which I thought was […]

I’m a big boy Mummy!

Willow keeps telling me that she is a boy, or that she wants to be a boy when she grows up. Which is funny because I remember thinking the same thing when I was a bit older than she currently is.

This time three years ago.

A is putting together Willow’s new bike while we reminisce. This time three years ago I was in the early stages of labour. I’d woken up at 5:30am with contractions, but they were irregular to say the least. They remained irregular for the rest of the day. I had a student […]

Changes

You might notice a bit of a change with this site.  Each post still has it’s own page, but they are all shown in their entirety on the index page.  I was a bit worried that people wouldn’t click to read the post and I prefer being able to see the whole post…

Birthday preparations

It’s Willow’s birthday on Tuesday and her party next Sunday.
So today we are leaving Willow with a friend and her daughter who is the same age, and going out to buy a bike for her.
There has been a discussion on a forum I go to about leaving your children with friends and/or family. We […]

Job interview

I think I did ok. I know I could have done better, but I made the panel laugh and that is a good thing. I forgot a few basic things, but was able to make up for it.  I really do have the mindset of a long term case manager, but they only […]

op shopping

I went to the Salvos to look for a black skirt for my job interview tomorrow. No luck, but I did manage to leave $35.00 poorer for having bought 3 beaded singlets (2 nwt) 2 skirts and one bag. Quite happy with that haul.
It really is time for me to go back to […]

Wow.

So I finally finished the job application today. I had help from two very lovely ladies, they were quite generous with their time. I also did a cover letter which is required.
I printed it all out, the application guide required three copies of the application and my resume. Stuffed it in an […]

It’s hot today.

So Willow keeps saying. Supposed to get to 41degrees. If it was the weekend we’d take off down to Victor Harbour.
I found a cool blog yesterday - http://www.karencheng.com.au/ I think I want to be like her when I grow up.
We have been making invitations for Willow’s Birthday Party -that is to say, I […]

Why on earth?!

Why did I think that I’d be able to write a job application today? Granted, Willow is at child care today, but Dexter is being particularly velcro. He’s had a couple of short naps, one of which was taken up by A asking whether or not he should buy a universal remote. […]
