Another Year

      No Comments on Another Year

And today marks another year gone by in the life of my eldest. She has had an awesome day, with presents, cake, butts, and a playdate with her bestie. Top that off with spending the night at her grandparent’s, and well. I’m sure that she’ll still be buzzing when we go over for lunch tomorrow//to pick her up. I’m unbuzzing,… Read more »

Shiny Tat

      No Comments on Shiny Tat

I had a sudden hankering to dust and reorganise my tat shelf. I’ve tried to shift the things in the other room behind it to better support the overhanging bits (lunchbox and wool box), so we’ll see how it goes. For now, yay for having done a minor chore? I continue to slowly heal up from being sick. Today is… Read more »

Further Loots

      No Comments on Further Loots

It’s Christmas, and the girls have gone to bed mainly satisfied. Gifts have ranged from requested yo yos, to a karaoke machine, to new headboards (and lots of stuff in between). I got a stack of books, and Z got some Star Wars goodies. In short, everyone was well sorted. Of course, now I’m ultra exhausted. *chuckles* And I’m still… Read more »

Kid Approved

Today, Z and I finally were able to sit down and wrap the girls’ Christmas presents. He took them over to his parent’s house for a bit of a play, and we got stuck in. Smalls declared the amount to be satisfactory when she got back… the butt. *chuckles* I’m feeling a fair bit better today. I did end up… Read more »

Looty Loot Loot

It’s the last workday of the year, yay! And with that came a final divvy of presents from our various contractors. Since neither Z nor myself drink, we ended up with a choice selection of candy and biscuits (cookies for the non-Brits). I claimed the jellies for my own because I love jelly candy, while Z has made sure to… Read more »

Yay Soup

      No Comments on Yay Soup

Because obviously, in this era of the internet, one must post pictures of their food as often as possible. It’s not plated or posed or Photoshopped — it’s just soup that I made tossed in a bowl, ’cause eating it straight out of the slow cooker is probably not the best idea. I had two bowls for dinner last night,… Read more »

To Actual Scale

      No Comments on To Actual Scale

No, obviously my child isn’t the size in this picture, ha ha. But a parcel came in for Z that wasn’t due today, so I asked her to stand there for comparison. He figured out what it was and that it had actually come two days early, so at least that mystery was solved. And at least it was solved… Read more »

Lulz, Nope

      No Comments on Lulz, Nope

To cut a long story short, the girls didn’t go to school today. I’m not convinced that they were poorly enough to actually need to stay in, but they did. But I did manage to grudgingly manage to bathe, so that was the main thing. I can usually power through and make myself do it before I get too gross,… Read more »

The Last Day

      No Comments on The Last Day

Today is the last day of the kiddos being quarantined from school. Tomorrow… is the last day of school. I’m glad that they get to go in, and they’re glad too. And, thankfully, we all held it together today on the whole. I am feeling a bit cruddier, but like… at least tomorrow I just have me to take care… Read more »

Toast

      No Comments on Toast

Today was another day on the Toast Train. While everyone is feeling better, we’re all taking it carefully. Knock on wood, everyone seems to be just about out of the woods. Well. I’m starting to feel a bit dicier, but that might also be in my head. Ah well, at least I got us more bread. And yes, I was… Read more »
