I am Imperfectly Perfect

October 10, 2011

My fingernails are never clean. My boobs are too big. I am boringly practical and I worry too much. I tuck the flap of my belly into my jeans and try to ignore it. I have no waist, no bum and shoulders broader than most men. Sometimes I can only see my flaws. I only [...]

Lovely Links – Things I Want to Buy

October 1, 2011

I have this list, in the back of my head, of things I want to buy. Not important things, not things I really need, just things I’d like to buy, for me. Mostly these are ‘when we are rich’ things. Some of them you can’t even buy here, or at least I don’t know where [...]

Stuff I Know.

September 16, 2011

I know that my pelvic floor is not what it used to be. I know that feeling when you can’t stop laughing over something ridiculously silly is one of the best feelings ever I know about printable boob hats. I know that I have a strange craving for brownies. I know that having a friend [...]

R U Ok?

Today is RUOK? Day. “A national day of action that aims to prevent suicide by encouraging Australians to connect with someone they care about and help stop little problems turning into big ones.” The goal is to remind us all to take a moment to ask those around us if they ‘are ok’, to reach [...]

Things I Wish

September 9, 2011

I wish I could play on the computer all day and night… I wish I could leave the baby strapped in his high chair for an hour or two… I wish I could drive the Big White Bus at 160 down the freeway… I wish I could eat a whole, fresh, pineapple all on my [...]

Sometimes

September 8, 2011

Sometimes I wonder what on earth I was thinking… Let’s get married, move to the country and have four kids. Why don’t I stop working, stay at home with the kids, and do all the house work while you work ridiculous shifts. Why don’t we get a nice mortgage, an old house and just enough [...]

I know stuff…

September 2, 2011

I’m know stuff. I’m sure I know stuff. All kinds of stuff. Interesting stuff, boring stuff, funny stuff, crazy stuff, happy stuff, important stuff, disappointing stuff, stuff that I can tell and stuff that I can’t. Lots of stuff. It’s just that the stuff I know is trapped in my brain. Sometimes it rushes around [...]

Things I Really Know – Show and Tell Sucks!

August 26, 2011

I hate show and tell. I hate it with a passion. Sure, as a teacher, I know it is important for children to practice standing up in front of a group and speaking clearly and intelligently about a subject. I know that it is important for children to practice listening to their peers. I know [...]

Lots of rain + some sunshine = bucket loads of strawberries! Over the past few weeks we have had strawberries coming out of our ears. We have made muffins, and smoothies and cupcakes, and pie and we’ve eaten so many fresh strawberries I am actually kinda over them (I never thought that would happen), but [...]
