just stuff…

I am not very coherent tonight so this will just be a list of ’stuff’ that I want to get down…

1. We made a very cool birthday present for my Mum… The girls hand painted her a teapot since she is a bit tea drinker. They chose red and yellow and it does look a little like someone has hemorrhaged all over it but it certainly is unique!

2. I keep hitting this major brick wall when it comes to decisions for a project I am working on… Why do I have to be so indecisive and when I have finally made a decision why do I then doubt it and wonder if I should scrap it all? What is with that? Surely other people make a decision and at least feel confident about it for the next ten minutes! Now is so not the time for me to be falling in a hole on this…

3. When the girls were little they kept me up at night quiet often with needing to be cuddled, fed, changed etc… now they are bigger they still keep me up at night but the demands have changed somewhat. Three times in the middle of the night last night I was woken by Zoe calling for me and each time I went in to see what was wrong she presented me with an outstretched finger and said ‘booger mamma… booger’.

4. Some tantrums never end… they just get put off while you do something more interesting. I swear Zoe was carrying over her earlier tantrum in her sleep last night as apart from the ‘booger calls’ when I finally dumped her in bed with me she was fast asleep but still crying and carrying on that she could “do it myself”…. even this afternoon when she would suddenly revert back to lying on the floor crying and complaining about not being allowed to walk down the stairs at my parents place without holding someone’s hand.

5. I shouldn’t watch TV… I got caught watching the ‘medical miracles’ show about the little girl with the conjoined twin who had only developed as far as a head. I got so caught up in this and cringed everytime they called it a ‘parasitic head’ … I know that it technically that is what it was but if that egg had split a few days earlier it would have been a ’she’… an identical twin to the sister she was joined to and the three of them would have been triplets. It gives me shudders just thinking about it. It is thought that TTTS may possibly be caused by late splitting of the egg (causing the blood vessels in the placenta to intertwine and join up) in cases like ours… meaning my girls could have been a day or two away from being conjoined twins….. it is all such small degrees that make such big differences.

Sounds like you need a day or two break from it?? It won’t work while you are stressing over it..just take a few hours off, it will all come to you when you are feeling refreshed.
Gotta love your gals though :)

Love the ongoing tantrum thing - we’ve had a few experiences of that, sudden crying over an injustice that occured 5 or 6 hours ago :) As if they don’t have enough to be upset about!

I can’t watch shows like that - i heard the promo for that one, “the girl with two heads” and the “man with no arms or legs” and it totally reminded me of a circus freak show the way they were advertising it!

Kate take a break…please and don’t worry about it I can be the same I make a decision and then change my mind but find that I usually always come back to the first decision as that was the best.

As for the girls….does it get any easier as kids get older ….nope as you said the demands change even for teens!!!
