Anonymous Lawyer
As the children get older, my attention span gets longer again and I have more time to read. I picked up this book, Anonymous Lawyer, at the op-shop yesterday and read it in one afternoon, while watching the kids outside, while the kids watched Mr Bean, while I watched them in the bath and on [...]

Meat in my pocket.
It’s not very often I carry around meat in my pocket, but this morning before uni, I took our smaller dog Russ into Willow’s class. He is usually quite obedient and easy to control, but I thought some doggy treats would not hurt! They are doing an inquiry unit on animals, those that are pets [...]

Score!
Current Mood: Cool & CoolI went to an op-shop near my new office today, had to check it out. There were quite a few nice things there, some real brand name clothes. Pity they weren’t in my size… I took home a gauzy moss green Just Jeans cardigan, a NWT Katies dress (I loved it [...]

Perhaps not my best parenting idea?
Current Mood: AlarmedWillow loves to watch me cook. While I’m keen for her to learn how to cook, this is the child who does not stop talking. I regard cooking as relaxing, almost meditative or something that needs to be done quickly – so her constant chatter damages my calm and rhythm. She has her [...]

My head hurts!
Just a sooky whinge. My head hurts. I think it is the medication, my face is also flushed and my eyes are blood shot. It hurts less if it is resting on a pillow. I saw the doctor on Thursday morning and my blood tests came back fine, nothing out of range. So that is [...]

What not to eat.
Last night I had a case study analysis to write for uni, so I stopped at the supermarket before I picked up Dexie. It was one of those usual trips – I’ll just pick up something for dinner, but $100 later, I escaped. So, while writing this case study I consumed: about 75gm of blueberries [...]

Lowering my blood pressure.
So I’ve been looking at other ways to lower my blood pressure, as well as the medication. I wouldn’t say it’s working that well at the moment, I’m still getting readings of 130-150/91-105. Tonight while A was supervising the children in the bath, I reminisced about my blood pressure during Willow’s pregnancy. It was a [...]

Dreams of disability
Funny how our subconscious works, isn’t it? I had a dream the other night that I should record, before I forget it. I had a dream that I could have my Mum back, on the condition that I became a paraplegic, got around in a wheelchair and lived in a little unit near A and [...]

Numbers
I’m sure you will all be pleased to know that my blood pressure measured quite a bit lower today. I managed to sneak home for lunch and it was 146/88. Important point here is that there were no children around at this time! Tonight it was 144/91. Better, but still a bit too high. I’m [...]

Cake it away!
I baked today – boy did I bake! I made the big birthday cake for Dexter and the cheeseburger cupcakes. For Dexie’s cake I used the Magnolia cupcakes recipe because it makes a large quantity – it filled my lasagne pan easily. The butter and the sugar creamed together, with one egg. I made one [...]
