Things have ramped up in the business and now The King has to travel a bit. That’s fine. I’m used to it, He used to travel all the time. I have been spoilt over the last few years though as he hasn’t been away for a while. Wednesday he had to fly out to LA for a week. He had …
And So We Spent the Afternoon in the ER
*WARNING: If you get queasy or squeamish at the site of injuries, don’t look. There are pictures of the wound* My little Miss Gremlin is a mover, she can’t sit still, she’s a wriggler and a wiggler and a leg shaker. She gets this from her father. Sitting on the couch with her drives me nuts. I can’t deal with …
Our Weekend Projects are not Like Your Weekend Projects…Hump Day Humour #30

Here’s where I admit my Child looks like a Homeless Person
I’m going to admit right here, that right now, I’m failing as a parent. I didn’t realise this until the the other day when Miss Gremlin walked through the door from school.

When ‘She’ll Be Right’ Becomes a Life Skill Attitude
I come from a long line of ‘She’ll be right’. Hey, I’m an Aussie, we practically come out of the lady flower screeching it. Over many generations, because of our heritage and hardship, we’ve learned to pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off regardless of adversity and say ‘She’ll be right’.
10 Television Shows We loved that our Kids will Never Understand
If you’re old like me, then you’ll remember when tv only had 4 channels and they turned on the test pattern at 11pm. Life was different then, not necessarily better but simpler. We didn’t have on demand tv, internet or even video players.
School is back, Who’s ready?
Here, today, in this house the scramble for back to school was not so much a scramble as a drag my arse across the floor and cry like a baby. It was dark , it was cold and it sucked. Two young people are at the bench, trying desperately to get more sleep and not go back to school.
Going Back to the Farm
Since the kids were born we’ve taken them back to see the farm and my parents. Since we moved to America it has been less, obviously. It’s a long way and it’s a lot of money. I try to take the kids every other summer so they get to see family but don’t miss out on summers either. Every time …
