The Big Clean
ok what we are going to get done today
Wednesday, June 28, 2006
So .. an update!
Well here it is.
FINALLY finished watching LOST, I am now all caught up with the US. End of season two .. all I will say is *BRAIN IMPLODES* .. just when you thought it couldn't f*&@ with your mind any further ... look what happpens!
Lauren is being Lauren. Mostly gorgeous, intelligent, funny, loving .. sometimes frustrating, annoying, tantrummy, but always my gorgeous girl.
Nappy changes are such a malarky that I have decided to start putting her in undies, and really encouraging potty/toilet use. I hadn't even said anything to her about it, but this morning after I took off her night nappy she asked for undies! Im trying to explain to her that if she wears undies she needs to try and use the potty/toilet for wees. We'll see how that goes.
What else ... I have done a couple of LO's, a couple here and here
Last week ( have been slack this week) I started doing a 30min yoga routine every day, was wonderful, have to not be slack and do it again today.
Have an appt with my ortho-bionomy/massage lady today, REALLY looking forward to it, ah 45min of bliss hehe
I *think* thats it. Oh have been Sim mad too, lots of drama happening in my sims lives ;)

Everybody Jumping!
So Lauren just did a proper jump for the first time!! :D
Both feet off the ground at once. SHe has been doing almost jumps for a while, but this was a proper one .. YAY LAUREN!! :D :D
Just had our last day of swimming for the term, she goes up to the next class next term. The one where I sit on the sidelines, bit nervous about it to be honest hehe, at least it may mean I can get some good photos :)
So Damien didnt come to bed till after 3am, and slept in till 10.30. He was playing WoW till 2ish, and then watched first half of soccer, so I am going to go out and get eyebrows waxed this afternoon, have a few hours to myself. Looking forward to it. :)
ETA: What do y'all think of the new layout? :)

Brrr
Its fricken cold today!
Luckily when one is cleaning up the house, one tends to keep warm. I keep telling this to lazy ass husband who is playing WoW and complaining of being cold! Hah! *grumble mumble bitch moan*
So we went out for breakfast this morning, our monthly treat. Was nice :) May have had somethign to do with the fact that because it was the end of pay month we had no food in the house .. just maybe ;)
Aiming to get house tidied up and looking nice today, and then also going grocery shopping, gah, at least it will be time to myself, last time I went I picked the longest queue and stood there reading a magazine hehe was bliss ;)
So I am putting on weight, I can see it, Damien can see it, even commented on it (not nastily) so I have downloaded some yoga dvd files stuff, and am planning on doing it daily, tried to do some last night HAH! impossible with the monkey, she isnt quite at the stage of sitting beside me and copying, more at the stage of climbing all over me. Maybe if it becomes part of my every day routine the novelty will wear off pretty quickly. Anyway enough dillydallying (dammit now have that theme song in my head "dont dillydally, somethign something, here comes sali mali and her little crow Jack Do!" btw found the website for this show (its on abckids, a pretty cool site for kid s actually click here)
Ok Im off like something that goes off.

Llllauren
Yay!
When asked what her name is, or who that girl in the photo is Lauren has for a long time said "raura" always referring to herself as that.
Now (just started today) with a little prompting she corrects herself and says Lllllauren :D She really stops and thinks and works hard on pronouncing it correctly :D I know she has been able to say it for a while, but not without me saying it first :)
Going to have a nice afternoon, read some stories, do some craft, tidy up some.

5am is too early to wake up
So Lauren has started waking at around 5am again *groan*
I think its the cooler weather because she was waking at 6/6.30 up until about a week ago.
She isnt going to bed till 7.30/8pm either, so its not cause she is going to bed early.
Her last couple of teeth are coming through, she has been super cranky/whingy girl. Hopefully she won't be like it all weekend or I may pack my bags and run away (not really, couldnt be away from her for that long ;))
Can't think of anything else to say, I'm sure I had more to say .. oh well.
Photos!

Could you would you in a boat?
The title has no relevance to anything really.
Lauren has a bit of a cold and is teething at the moment (only 2 more teeth to go) so she is a bit .. trying .. at the moment. She (& I) were awake from 3.30 for about an hour this morning, she boobied for a while, but then was tossing and turning, not upset just restless, eventually rolled away and went to sleep, but I felt like absolute crap this morning.
But today has been good, yesterday we were crap parents, spent nearly all day on computer, Lauren entertained herself for the most part and watched too much Shrek. But today was different, neither of us turned out pcs on till she had gone down for her nap, we played, we danced, went out for breakfast (which was a disaster cause she was super cranky) did heaps of housework, so yeah , good day :)
Shock of all shocks .. NO TV today!! Well she watched the AFL with Damien (Go the Lions) but NO Shrek, as Lauren would say .. wow amazing.
She is such an amazing girl, a real parrot :) Love her speech, love that she can communicate mostly clearly with us :)
Now for some photos :)

Makes me so cross!!
I would love to let Lauren run around the park with no shoes on.
I wish that I didnt have to make her wear shoes.
I have already found glass in the park directly opposite our place, today we went to the park on the other side, found 2 broken beer bottles right near the childrens play equipment!
Makes me so damn angry!!! I cleared up as much of it as I could, what if a child was running around with no shoes on!! GRRRR!!!
On a funnier note, Lauren 'helped' me make brownies this afternoon, she helped stir, and all the way through kept asking "eat it?" but I said not yet itll be yucky, but right when it was all mixed up and ready to go into the tin thingy, I relented.
Here is the outcome *lol*

Tired & Snappy

A New Leaf
I am turning over the proverbial leaf.
Usually this time sucker upper (aka PC) gets turned on as soon as I wake up, I am down here with my coffee catching up on stuff, and then the rest of the day I sit with my big fat bum wasting time.
No more!
This PC is not going to go on before Lauren goes down for her nap.
I am going to write up a list of things that need to be done each day & each week, and I am going to stick to it dammit. I am sick of living in a messy house with crap everywhere, I drags me down, and I believe my lack of willpower and this bloody time sucker are to blame.
So today it didnt go on till about 10.30 (mum was here and I needed to print something for her) Its only now that I have actually sat down properly to do something, but my house is tidy, I vacumned, did a general tidy up of every room and it feels damn good.
So now all I need to do is over the weekend do a big clean, and then maintain it.
Going to buy some storage containers and other things to organise .. stuff, I want this place semi-organised.
So a trip to Ikea is in store I think.
SO yay for me, lets hope I can keep it up!

Tired & Cranky
Gah! I have been so snappy at Lauren today.
*sigh*
Just feeling very short tempered.
Damien is getting her bath ready, but I still have to be paying attention because he isnt.
I need this time to myself so that I can be ok when its time to get her to sleep, the last two nights have been battles, and last night I fell asleep with her, I was so pissed off because that time took away from my 'me' time, and also meant that it took AGES for me to go to sleep last night.
*whinge whinge whinge complain complain*
Photo taken of Lauren today, I said to her "Can I take your photo 'cause you look really cute" she responded "NO Cute, NO photo" and thats what I captured hehe, photo fiddled with in photoshop :)
Layout I did today of my friends bubba when he was 3days old
