Tired
Posted Mar 23, 2007
I'm just tired most of the time. But it's finally nice and sunny outside, so I can't complain. I'm going to take my babies home soon, and when we're done with what we HAVE to do, I'll take them to play in the park. Hopefully this weather will hold for a while.

Spoon-Jar, Jar-Spoon
Posted Feb 28, 2007
I brought a spoon to work last week and it's already vanished. I wonder who took it and if I'll ever see it again. All I wanted was to eat soup. Grrrrrrr...
Not much news on my side. Still no new job, though I will have an interview next week, no work, either, as my manager is swamped and runs around like a headless chicken doing things.
No internet connection at home right now, either. So I'm out of touch with the world, and my family. My mum's been to South America and back and we haven't video-talked in over a month. She wants to see me and the kids and I keep having to tell her to be patient.
She's not.

Strange bug
Posted Jan 18, 2007
I haven't been on in a while...
I had one of those weird stomach bugs that last 24 hours, so from Tuesday evening until 7.30 this morning I could only cope with eating two pieces of chicken breat and a toffee. I do feel a bit slimmer, actually.
Just the thought of eating made me feel bad and my stomach and head took turns at hurting, and sometimes even synchronised with eachother. Last night I put Maya to bed and went to sleep at around 8-8.30pm and woke up this morning feeling much better, and hungry. I suppose that's a good sign. We all seem to have one bug or another this month- Ryan's eyes are infected, Maya fills nappies from hell, I had the stomach bug and a persistant cold, and Michael had his foot ran over last night (yes, by a car).

Christmas Part 2
Posted Dec 29, 2006
So... the kids got looooooads of presents, not from us but from their grandparents and uncle (more grandparents, less uncle) and looked totally bewildered as to what's happening. Maya's enjoyed wearing her festive dress, since it has so many layers on the skirt she could happily chew on (she now has 4 teeth! 
) and cried when I took it off her before she went to bed on Monday night, when we returned home with lots of stuff.
I could tell my MIL didn't buy my presents, as they were pretty much the same as last year's (bath things, body lotion... you know). Mike was playing Santa, handing everybody their presents as soon as we got to his parents' house. It was done to prevent him from imploding with expectation, seeing how, big boy that he is, he can't handle the extra stimulation and has to open the 
NOW!
The turkey was turkey-like (ie dry) but everything else was nice and tasty, even the chestnuts. Maya was fed by me and she was so happy with her Christmas dinner I had to wait until she's finished hers before I could eat mine. We went to see some more distant family after dinner and then went home. Thank god...
Boxing day was calmer, and Mike took Ryan out for a ride on his new trike (poor baby, he's too short to reach the pedals with his feet) and then we went to his parents' again. Mike's birthday was totally forgotten on Monday, so we sang Happy Birthday to him on Tuesday night, much to Ryan's delight, who then tried to blow out the candles that were re-lit for him and giggled a lot.
The day before Christmas I got a double whammy of joy, I went with Mike's mum to get a new top for Christmas, and ended up with 2 (she bought me one). To make things even better, when we got to their house from the shopping trip, the relatives that were there have already left. Woohoo! 
(sorry, I don't do relatives very well) Top 1 was worn on Christmas and top 2 would be worn on New Year's eve. They're both usually out of my budget, but as there was a sale on, the damage was a mere £25.99. 
And after 2 days off work, during which I spent time with my lovely husband, all by ourselves, and cleaned the kitchen after reading for 2 hours straight (which I haven't done in ages), I came back to work for a day to post on hootoo before I have to go home at 4pm (was originally meant to leave at 5pm) as the office is closing early.
Fa-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la!!!!
