My poor Little Man is a little upset with me at the moment. He doesn't understand why I am brushing his teeth now twice and sometimes three times a day and he is no longer allowed to fall asleep on my boob.
Instead we have boobie earlier in the evening and a cuddle and a book to fall asleep by with a tooth brushing in between.
I am determined to give his baby teeth the best go of it I can give them and up until now we had not had the best brushing and now we are paying the price for it. He has a hole in his tooth which needs fixing and the beginning of decay around the other top teeth. I so totally don't blame breastfeeding for this but I can understand how it may now be keeping me back. If only I had been more vigilant with the brushing.
Fingers crossed we can make a huge dent in the tartar that has built up and not have to do drastic repair and reinforcements cause I don't think that will be fun. We still have to do the repair but if my brushing technique gets better then we won't have to come at the problem with guns firing.
I would still breastfeed to sleep again if that is what it takes to make them happy to sleep but I would be more on the brushing than I have been. Having adult teeth and brushing once a night is enough for me but not so for Little Man.
Fingers crossed. |

My boy has a hole in his tooth which needs attention which he will need a general anasthetic for. The dentist seems to think that it was too much juice. I think it was crap pop top bottles and juice and me as a crap parent.
I can't stop fighting with My Man and Little Man sees this too much. Any of it that he sees is too much. And these fights are stupid and OTT.
I just wanted to talk about my day and I ended up having a fight right before his bed time.
Nobody.....
Not feeling to crash hot atm.....

And my son hath no verbal cut off switch.
This is fantastic, my Little Man has really started into tones of words and knowing the meaning and using them correctly too. Just in the last month it is like while he was sick with the many colds he seemed to have caught (thankyou idiots at playgroup bringing sick kids) he thought why not work on my vocabulary????
Some mornings he would wake up and start spouting fresh words that the day before he couldn't or wouldn't say. Like they just sorted themselves out while he was a sleepin. He is at over 60 words he can say and lots more he can understand. I hope soon we can have a lovely chat about stuff he likes and wants to talk about. I only have another 10 years before he is a teenager and won't talk to me.
Yeahanyway about the fury bit.....
I gots myself a killer headache atm and tones of stuff I need to do and not enough time to do it in.
Whatever, Mah boiy is ah tawkin at me! Yay yay yay yay yay!!!!! |

We have our first Master Chef,
Julie! Yay, I was hoping that she would win.
Earlier in the season she had made a lemon cup cake called Lemon Diva and I had been hankering to make it since I first saw it.
Last night (knowing that I really should make something to bring to playgroup) I decided to make Lemon Diva for myself. Wow what a beautiful cake. I now know why the judges were so impressed with the flavour (she put the zest of 3 lemons in) she nearly knocked the judges socks off with it.
Anyway didn't end up going to playgroup cause Little Man has a temperature so we are enjoying the cake to ourselves.
Yay Julie |

But..... I'm gunna say it anyway.
(yes I know full well that peoples kids are usually just cute to the parents of them)
I have to share this with people who I think will at the very least see the funny side of the situations.
Little Man was doing something in the lounge and accidentally banged his hand on something.
Little Man: "Ow!"
My Man: "Did you hurt yourself? Do you want me to kiss it better?"
LM: "No Dad."
Then LM proceeds to kiss his own hand better.
Awww!
And the other night whilst I was watching Master Chef Australia LM was playing with his pots and pans set and his play dough. I was rolling tones of green balls so he could use them as peas in his pot. When it came time on the telly for the 30 second count down.....
Telly: "Alright contestants you have 30 seconds to go!"
LM: "Oh no!"
Then he puts on the speed and starts shuffling the pots around and stirring them like mad.
Later during the same show I was in our kitchen starting dinner and he rushes in holding his biggest pot with his oven mitt.
LM: "It's hot, it's hot!"
He insisted that I put on an oven mitt and put it in the oven. So I did and just for effect I flipped the oven light on (we put it on so that he knows not to touch the oven when we are using it).
About five minutes later I was in the bedroom turning off some random alarm that was going off, (I recon LM had fiddled with the clock) and he runs in and tries to pull me toward the kitchen.
Me: "Is it time to get it out of the oven?"
LM: "Mmm Hmm"
Again he insists on the oven mitts. I just couldn't believe all the funnyness of the situation and the earnest looks he was giving me. It was so a "You had to be there situation" to get the full effect.
It still brings a smile to my face thinking about it.
His peas, toy plane, toy car(red of course), play dough cup cake and pancake were all cooked to perfection. |

You will be sorely missed. I never thought that you would die much less the way you did. I am saddened by your absence. The fact that there will be no more art from you. I feel cheated by the fact that there is now absolutely no chance of meeting you. I have dreamed that we were good friends and hung out together before your performances, you were a gentle soul in my dreams and I don't doubt that you were in real life. I hope that you are in a good place or at least coming back to us again in one form or another.
I was a little saddened also at the news of Farrah Fawcett's tragic passing. It was almost a side note that she had lost her fight with cancer. Yeah I know that I am writing about her second here too but I don't hold her in as high an influence in my life as the entertainment world did. I just would have thought that it should have been announced in order of passing not so called rank of importance or so it seemed.
RIP Farrah Fawcett

I have been hankering to see Iron Man for a good while now and just hired it out from the video store. (he he funny I didn't see any "videos")
Yeahsoanyway.....
I saw it about 2 months ago at a friends house and we had Little Man with us so watching was very disjointed for me as I noticed when he needed something a lot quicker that My Man did (he got way to into it)
But what I saw was absolutely brilliant! I need that film for my very own. Robert Downy Junior is so absolutely beautiful in it. I don't think that guy has looked more..... What is the word I am looking for? Drool comes to mind but that isn't what he looked like perhaps droolworthy or swoon worthy something like that.
I can't help but think that he reminds me of My Man and how absolutely handsome he is. I married a Tony Stark lookalike and I am on cloud nine.
Ye he he he he......
Yeah I know so totally shallow I went for looks first and then found out more about the guy. But you know what? I think I hit the jackpot with him cause he is intelligent and interesting and deeper than just looks. Yeah he can be a total clod sometimes but show me a human being that has never put a foot wrong ever and I will be totally amazed or find out that you either made them lie or that they are a liar.
enough of that now. |

OMG there was a guy tapping on the window of our house at 1.05am.
I looked out of the window expecting that the tapping was just the cat's tail hitting the window cause he saw something he really wanted to pounce but there was a guy there!!!
I did the short sharp intake of breath thing and clapped my hand over my mouth just incase I did make a scream like noise. He saw how freaked I was and was bowing and appologising profusely. I think he just wanted to chat to the cat. It looked like he was just out for a late night walk, saw our cat and thought how about a chat! ODD?????
I am very wary of noises at our front door so late in the night since Christmas 2007. Little Man's first Christmas and we had a lot of stuff stolen from our front doorstep. Our clothes dryer is in the carport and Little Man's brand new, hand made by his Grandmama's blanket was stolen from the dryer along with some of his beautiful baby clothes.
A week later at about the same time I heard a sound out there but thought nothing of it. Again more stuff was stolen from the carport including my car's Christmas present of new wheel covers. I know it was dumb to leave them out there.
On the same time a week later still I heard a noise and decided to investigate.
There sitting on my front porch was a lady of what I am guessing was Mouri decent or possibly Abouriginal not too sure. She was unfurling a plastic bag and had her shoes off and wasn't too hurried or worried looking. Our front door was open to let the breaze through and it is a one way screen unless you have the light on behind you.
My heart stopped. I can only imagine that if I ever were to see a ghost or something else that shouldn't exist or rightly be there this is how I would feel. I started yelling at her to get off my porch and what was she doing there and how dare she even be there. The voice that I heard coming from my mouth was not my own it sounded more like a banshee I guess and it wasn't spoken it was barked out quite forcefully.
I woke my poor brother up he thought that something was seriously wrong with Little Man for me to be yelling like that. I guess the words were of second concern at that stage. The woman leapt up as she hadn't seen me and was quite ruffled but still a little too calm for me, like she had a story already for such an occasion. She said that she was sorry for freaking me out and she was just trying to escape an abusive male friend of hers. Yeah right by hiding on a porch with the light on. Nah not buying that.
I was rather shaken by the whole thing and yet my Little Man slept through the whole thing (yes I have had his hearing checked). I had to wake My Man up and have him give me a cuddle. There is no way in hell that the two weeks leading up to that that she had nothing to do with it. The bag was to stow more stuff and the shoes off was so not to make any noise. We didn't have anything else go after that night strangely enough.
I am still stung bad bout Little Man's things being taken. It was a lovely patchwork quilt with his name and his first Christmas written on it. All that hard work and love stolen to go to some shit's house and be abused. I told the cops and they informed me of a person of interest who lives or lived 3 houses up from me. I have seen them going to and from their house and a woman who looks rather like her does live there.
Shits me to tears. |

Yeah anyway just thought that I would share that with the interwebs. |

I finished eating my dinner tonight (Yummy stuffed capsicums as made by sexyman) and just as I was swallowing the last bit I caught a taste of.....
1986
Yes that's right, the year 1986.
It is definitely not something I would have eaten back then. In fact the day in particular it reminded me of, I am almost 100% certain that I had a vegimite sandwich for lunch as it was the day that my school took me to Adventure World for the first time and I always had them for school lunch.
It didn't remind me of my lunch just the time and the place.
Weird how I have that association for that taste. I'll bet that if I eat my left overs for lunch tomorrow I will not have a repeat taste sensation. I can't even describe the flavour cause it is such a personal memory for me. It was almost like I had breathed in the air of that time and place again. Sorry that is the closest I can come to how it felt to remember in such a fashion. |

I would just like to say thanks and farewell Jack Ross.
Our last Aussie digger has past on at the amazing age of 110. Not to forget all the other brave men and women who put their lives on the line to protect their country but he is the last and so I comment.
Thank you all for your protection. I live what I think is a pretty good life and it is alot to do with these people. I am safe and free because of them, I am able to be whatever I want because of them. Australia is a great place to live because of them.
Thank you seems like it just really isn't enough but I have to say something.
Thank you all. |

I was at the Gwellup fun run this morning and I saw Bob and Tiffany from the biggest loser show being interviewed by the channel 10 crew. I hung around for a bit whilest they said their piece and then I walked over and introduced myself (very badly now that I come to think of it) and shook their hands and told them that they did a fantastic job and congratulations on winning the show.
I also asked them if it was in their contracts to say the word journey when referring to their biggest loser competition efforts. Not surprisingly they said yes they had to say it but now they have finished the show they are at a loss as to which word would best replace it so they seem to be stuck using it at the moment. Poor guys. They seem like lovely people and I wish them well with their efforts to stay healthy and happy. I know the money that they won has gone to a good home. I was really hoping that they would win.
I taped the interview on the telly when it came on and low and behold I am in the background with Little Man for a few seconds. My third time on telly and Little Man's first.
Well that's all for the moment now back to the journey of life..... |

So we were at Sizzlers tonight and a couple came in and sat down complaining about the service and how all the asians and wogs got served before them and how she is a true Australian.
This lady, and I use the term loosely, was of Aboriginal descent and her partner, who was white as far as I could tell, were hurling abuse at staff and patrons. She honed in on my father in law who is an Australian born Italian and told him to go back to where he came from. To which he said "Where would I go I was born here".
The amount of vulgarities coming from this womans mouth was impressive to say the least. The wonkey eyed ho (one eye was pointing a totally different way to the other) obviously had a chip on her shoulder. No table was safe from the onslaught of this abuse the C and F and some other choice words were thrown at us and others.
I must say that I told the silly woman to shut up and that she was a silly moron. And anyway, she isn't an original occupant either her lot just came here before everyone else.
They got chucked out for all their swearing and abuse. There were a lot of kids around and angry parents.
I thought after the fact that it I was to go back where I came from I don't think my mum would be very happy at all. I think it is a one way trip if you know what I mean. |

Yes girls just fess up and say it we all fart. Get the hell over it, it's not that bad, everyone does it, it is a natural process.
Tonight I had something horribly wrong happen. No not THAT bad just BAD is all.
I farted.....
It didn't go the usual way.....
It bubbled up through the front.....
And EXPLODED!!!!!

So I'm having some popcorn chicken thingies and I got a very strong taste of pepper on my tongue and the scent up my nose. I start thinking
"Now hang on a tick, aren't there supposed to be something like 11 herbs and spices on this stuff?"
I thought about it a little longer and came to the conclusion that these extras are a myth, the the only thing I could detect was pepper and salt. Just those two regular ingredients now and every time I had enjoyed this chicken. I have tried to sence the other ones out but to no avail.
Has anyone else figured out any of the ingredients? Just curious cause I don't think they are on there.
I know that this time may have been hampered by the overpowering pepper but I have never been able to taste the others.
What's up with that crap???? |

"As always this is an emo free zone."
I was just listening to 92.1 and this presenter is just the best I think she said her name was Jenifer Ox? She was just so interesting even though she didn't say too much and even commented for people not to make too many requests as she left 90% of her collection on her doorstep. (Whoops) Anyone know where she lives this music was just mind blowing! She did however prommis that her 2 hour show would not be wanting and we would be as pleased as punch with her back up collection.
I gotta tell ya I was liking what I was hearing so far and we were only half an hour in. The guy before her didn't know when to shut up when telling us about the music he was playing the fuck head talked through the intro in such a stop start manner that you couldn't follow either him or enjoy the music. Bit of a dunce maybe he needed more sleep. Maybe it was an off night for him but I was just glad that he did eventually shut up cause the music he was playing was fucking brilliant too.
Two different shows and styles of music. *SIGH* I was having blissfull listening.
I love my new car sterio shame I wasn't in a club so I could dance but I don't dance too well but the next best thing in my car going for a nice calming drive.

Lets see, my little man has had a rather big weekend. He has had his birthday party on Saturday, which went rather well and he has had his cot modified so that it is more of a bed.
My little man is in a bbb (big boy bed) Weeeeeeeeeeeee!
My little man is toilet trained (for the most part) Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! or more to the point controlled weeing!
He used to wake up and stand at the edge of his cot and say "Up!" He now has the opportunity to get out of bed by himself but he is unsure of how to do it safely so he still wakes up and hangs over the guard rail and says "Up!" It will be a bit of a shock I think when he comes into our bed by himself but it will happen I am sure. And as My Man said the other night "You will get an even bigger shock when he decides to explore the house by himself instead of coming into our bed." Oh the stuff he can get into.
I think I should do some tidying soon.
Oh for anyone thinking of having kids and needing good furniture for the bedroom try Bunkers they have some really awsome furniture and that is where we got the cot. It actually is 3 in 1 but we turned it into a 4 in 1. Called a converta cot.
It goes from a cot with a change table with drawers, to a kids length bed with drawers for a bed head, to a full length single bed and bedside drawers. All we had to do was use one of the sides of the cot as a guard rail for this intermediary step. Bloody good buy want their converta robe.
Yeah anyway enough of a plug for them I recon, if I find something good I like to share the info if it can be helpful for anyone. |

My man has these funky cargo pants which are really quite dressy (for them anyway) and they zip off and turn into shorts.
You know you go out in the morning and it is pretty cool and then it heats up as the day goes on and most times you are stuck in your long pant but no not in this case you can zip the heat away and get comfy in your stylish shorts.
Now my question is.....
Where do you go to get good cargo pants especially the ones that zip off and turn into shorts and is there a time of year that they are more readily available?
I want a nice pair so I only have to have one garment in my omg what if pack in the car and some nice ones for bumming around in at home or at the shops. |

This is the message that Maroochydore High School Queensland , staff voted
unanimously to record on their school telephone answering machine . This is
the actual answering machine message for the school. Needless to say, some
parents were offended.
The outgoing message:
Hello! You have reached the automated answering service of your school. In
order to assist you in connecting to the right staff member, please listen
to all the options before making a selection:
To lie about why your child is absent - Press 1
To make excuses for why your child did not do his work - Press 2
To complain about what we do - Press 3
To swear at staff members - Press 4
To ask why you didn't get information that was already enclosed in your
newsletter and
several flyers mailed to you - Press 5
If you want us to raise your child - Press 6
If you want to reach out and touch, slap or hit someone - Press 7
To request another teacher, for the third time this year - Press 8
To complain about bus transportation - Press 9
To complain about school lunches - Press 0
If you realize this is the real world and your child must be Accountable and
responsible for his/her own behaviour, class work, homework and that it's
not the teachers' fault for your child's lack of effort: Hang up and have a
nice day!
If you want this in another language, move to a country that speaks it. |
