Losing the Pregnancy
Notice that the word is "pregnancy" rather than "baby". On my first pre-natal visit to the doctor he asked me what was new. I said "The baby" and he came back with "And is the pregnancy going well?". I felt slightly chastised but had no real thought of this being anything but our baby ( Read more... ) -
So difficult
too difficult tonight. Bleargh. I NEVER expected parenting to be this hard and my lack of any interpersonal skills is constantly showed up.
Oh crapulous day. And this is nothing extraordinary -
FortySomething, something, something, something....
From here I start rolling down the other side of the hill. Apparently ( Read more... ) -
RIP Grandad
God speed you on your way, Granddad. Thank you for being my father from another continent, loving your two sons and your grandchildren and welcoming me into your family.
I am thankful that you got to see Znerkie learning to enjoy the water and Anerklette the wonders of fishing.
We will miss you very much xxxx -
Status Quo
That is the situation of Marathon Man's father, Znerkie & Anerklette's Granddad. In ICU after a cardiac arrest and oxygen-deprived induced brain damage since Saturday morning. He is still with us but we have no idea in what capacity so everything is status quo. There is no moving forward and, thankfully, no moving backwards. We pray and we hope ( Read more... ) -
Funkadelika

Life goes on and around and up and down. Sometimes very, very down. Apparently last week Vancouver Island was rocked by an earthquake. It was up ( Read more... ) -
Not so little Whee
Today is the first day that I leave little Anerklette at a class by herself. It is with the wonderful Miss D (and Miss A subbing today) whom little Whee adores.
As expected, our girl looked forward to the class, asked me as soon as she woke she up when we could leave and kept talking about what she would do there. That is: dance, play, wiggle her ( Read more... ) -
Welcome new ?-Cuz
CONGRATULATIONS to my cuzes on the birth of their 3rd baby!!! Born on May the Fourth this boy is yet to be named. Surely Luke is top of the babyname list :D
Hanging out to see new photos and maybe meet the little guy over Skype one day soon. -
Wiggly brainstorming
So I reckon the wiggles need another female character and I've come up with Captain Flowerpatch. She is the sister of Captain Feathersword and her eyepatch is in the shape of a flower. She could wear royal purple waistcoat and hot pink pirate pants. She captains the SS Bluebell and her crew wear Jeff Wiggle purple like her coat.
It is hailing ( Read more... ) -
Au Revoir my parentals
Mum & dad are currently somewhere over Hawaii now back to the Great Southern Land. I definitely would not have coped this winter without their assistance. After tearing my meniscus in January I was housebound for aaaages and would not have healed at all if they had not been around to do the running around necessary with 2 kids under 6.
They've ( Read more... )
