Mum's Post Breast Cancer Op Results... not good...
Last week, on Tuesday, mum went in to have a lumpectomy, where they removed a lump from her breast, along with three lymph nodes for testing. The surgery was a success and the doctors anticipated that in 6 weeks she’d have a dose of radiotherapy, and we’d be done with it.
Not so.
Today the test results on the lymph nodes showed that of the three, two are cancerous. This means the...

Love you, Nan!
Mum is finally having surgery tomorrow, to remove a cancerous lump from her breast. I sent these pics to her phone in the hopes they’ll give her something to smile at tomorrow. Good luck, Mum/Nan! We love you!
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders...

Moomba
Took the kids to Moomba today, along with FIL, SIL, BIL, his partner and his two kids. It was a lot of fun but I think I must be getting grumpy in my old age. When we were watching the parade, loads of adults were standing in front of the barriers while small children strained to see. I don’t want to go getting all “back in my day,” but seriously, as kids, we were always herded...

My Tweeps!
Nobody asked, but here's 25 things about me...
1. I haven’t worked since 2001. 2. I want to be a librarian when I ‘grow up.’ 3. I think I’m more excited about my daughter starting school at the end of the month, than she is. 4. I’ve never had a manicure, pedicure, facial, massage, or any of those things. 5. I love dying my hair, but don’t get to do it often enough. I haven’t been happy with my weight...

NaBloPoMo- the finish.
I have to say, that one full month of daily posting has shown me… that in the end, I resorted to posting random rubbish. A few times, I managed to come in less than a minute before the midnight deadline. Funny pictures and bad haikus were my saviour. And I’m still no closer to figuring out my blogging niche. It’s given me a lot to ponder, but I’m glad the month is over :)...

Mad Scientist Time!
Have spent the evening formulating a lovely soap recipe, which I’ll be hopefully making tomorrow morning whilst I have the house to myself for a couple of hours. I am really looking forward to it :)
Oh, look, I know, I know, why not “Boom Shanka”? It means,...

Not much real 'content' lately...
I’m not sure if it’s because I’m being burned out by the whole NaBloPoMo thing, or if it’s because I’m so disappointed in myself that I just don’t feel like actually writing. Probably a combnation of the two.

Thoughts on blogging and my kids.
for my own blog. I was toying with the idea of starting a blog to do with two of my favourite things. Social Media, and kids. I think it’s an interesting mix. Abs has her own email account now, and she just loves chatting with family and receiving and sending emails. I wonder how many other tiny bloggers there are? What resources are available to them? What are the special hurdles and...

10 Things I am Thankful For
Having a crap day, so I thought a bit of happy listing might help.
My family. Without them, I’m nothing.
We found a great primary school for my daughter to start at next year.
My cats. They are lovemuffins. Even Smoggy, the Claytons Cat.
The longterm loan of this Eee PC- I love it.
My daughters’ beautiful drawings.
This nice house in a nice neighbourhood, that we rent.

Reason #645 I am a dodgy mum.
My three year old has the annoying habit of sneaking out of bed, in the afternoons when he should be napping and in eenings when he should be sleeping. I had joked with Dave that we should put a bell on him so that we could hear him making trouble.
Anyway, I was at the Reject shop last week with the kiddos, and we found these cute little ‘guardian angel’ bracelets. Basically lengths...
