Monday

Imaginative title huh?!

Robbie decided it might be nice to wake up at 430 this morning.. yawn.

He's much better now.. been on anti-biotics for a few days. Go back Wednesday to get the result of the urine test. I'm pretty sure he didn't/doesn't have a UTI. He just didn't seem to be in that kind of pain. He's got the crawling thing well and truly conquered now.. oh dear!

I lost again this week. That takes my total to 7.1kg. Very happy. Just need to lose that amount again and I'm at my goal weight!

Ok.. real world calls... these Mondays come around way too quick for my liking!

How do they do it??

Okay, so this might come off as really self-indulgent.. but if I can't be self-indulgent on my own blog where can I be?

Robbie is still sick. And I'm not coping well. At all. Jason took him to the doc yesterday and he suggested it could be a urinary tract infection so sent him home with a bag to collect some urine. Of course, the first attempt was a dismal failure so he had to choof off yesterday arvy to get some more bags. I had success this morning and took it to the pathologist. They tell me its going to take 3 days to get the results. FUCK! So of course I ring Jason in tears (as any pms'y woman would). He rationally explains that they may need to grow cultures or something as equally gross in it. I've booked him back into the doctor tomorrow morning just out of caution - he's started to cough now too. Maybe there is some generic type of anti-biotic they can start him on pending the results of the wee test. Maybe there's not. Maybe i'm just being dumb for even thinking that way.

So - how do parents with critically ill kids cope? I'm a mess and he probably only has a viral infection. I feel as if nothing is worth doing.. why bother? I feel so selfish and hate that I seem to think so irrationally. Why can't I just take a step back and see things in a more rational way. Its not the end of the world.. he's just sick. He will get over it.

Another loss!

Woohoo.. I'm loving my scales at the moment. Another 600g lost this week. Takes my total to 6.5kg. If I can keep going like this I should almost be at my goal weight by Christmas. Then the real challenge starts in keeping it off for good!

At home today with a sick bubba. He's got a head cold. Lots of that revolting snot happening and temps every now and again and some vomits thrown in for good measure! I'm at home today and Jason will have tomorrow off. Hopefully he'll be all well again to go back to daycare on Thursday. I hate that I feel guilty for having to take time off work. He's way more important than work - but meh. Its another reason I withdrew from the other job so I shouldn't feel guilty!

Managed some scrapping on the weekend. This was the October online challenge at http://www.thescrapbookinghut.ning.com/ . It scanned crooked and I couldn't be bothered re-scanning.

Best Laid Plans and all that...

So Saturday I announced on Facebook that I was going to have a scrappy kinda day. I shouldn't have announced it to the world because of course Robbie decided that wasn't going to be the case. So here is the layout I started on Saturday and finished a few minutes ago!

These photos of Robbie with his great grandparents are so important to me. He is named after his great grandfather so I love seeing them together! Hopefully we'll squeeze another trip to Ballina to see them before Christmas!

Comparisons

Was checking the big boy's head for nits tonight (yes its a fortnightly ritual we undertake as more of a preventative measure) and I was saying it would be much easier if he would let me cut it. "Mum, that would be like making me start at the beginning of a really cool game". I love the little pearlers he comes out with.

Another milestone for Robbie tonight. He was sooking in his cot so I went in to check on him. There he was... sitting up! It's the first time (that I'm aware of) that he's put himself into the sitting position from lying down. Think it might be time to lower the base of the cot!

My day off work tomorrow! Yay! I'm loving this only working two days in a row business.

Buggered...

Sigh.. what a big day! Managed to do a huge cook up for Robbie (and some soup for me!) to last a few weeks.. went for my walk... did the groceries... washing... heaps of cuddles with my bubba... baked some banana bread.. missed my big boy while he's at his dad's... snuck in a nanna nap... caught up on Facebook.. all lunches ready for tomorrow... dinner in the oven... washed my hair (yes.. this is an effort lol).. Now that I'm back at work I really need to get everything organised on the weekend.. mission accomplished this weekend.

Robbie had a really shit night last night. He must have had a pain in the tummy. He finally crashed about 11pm. Needless to say he crashed really early tonight. Fingers crossed he goes right through until 5.30 or so tomorrow morning. He's got three teeth through on top now. They all came out at the same time. He manages teething really well. Heaps of dribbling over the last few days so not sure if there's more on the way. He's starting to try and pull himself into the crawl position from sitting. Heaps of face plants at the moment. Hopefully he gets it soon. As soon as he gets in his bath he's trying to pull himself up.. they grow so quickly :(

Big boy should be home from his dad's soon. Miss him when he goes away. His latest is that he wants to grow his hair. His favourite cousin has long hair and fancies himself as a bit of a rock star. Sigh..

Ok.. need to go.. dinner is smelling delish! Weigh in tomorrow - hopefully its a loss to make up for the disaster last week!
