One of my virtual sewing bee buddies Lucinda does this most weeks over at her blog. I always enjoy reading it, so I thought I might give it a go myself. Thanks Lucinda for the inspiration!! – It really has helped cleanse my brain.

So this is what is going on with me at the moment…

**  Neil has resumed working away

**  He flew away last Friday.

**  It has been well over a year since he worked away last time.

**  He is on a 4 week away, 1 week at home roster.

**  It’s pretty sucky.

**  I miss him, and do not like single parently 2 babies…

**  Kudos to my single mummy friends – you guys are awesome – single parenting is hard!!

**  Hannah is a big help.

**  She cheers me up even in my darkest moments

**  She talks to me CONSTANTLY – so it is not possible that I would ever feel alone…

**  It is mostly nonsense talk – but talk none the less… I get to use up ALL my words…

**   …  “look Mummy there’s the moon. It is a fat moon today. Watch, watch mummy – see it’s a fat moon?…  I don’t want a fat moon Mummy!  Mummy can you make the skinny moon come back?…”

**  “I’m sorry Hannah, I can’t make the skinny moon come back – it will come back soon…”

**  “Ok. Maybe on Friday then – after my sleep. Do you think it will come back by then Mummy…”

**  “Ummmmmmmmmmmm….. “!!!!!?????!!!! …. “Look Hannah – can you see that big truck?”

**  I recently got a speeding ticket.

**  As a result of this said speeding ticket I have made myself proficient in using my cruise control

**  That last post was specifically for my husband – see what I do for you – I learnt a gadget!!
      * Insert big cheesy I love you grin

**  Abbie’s teeth are getting close

**  This makes her grumpy

**  This makes ME grumpy

**  Hannah keeps waking up sometime in the 5ams

**  This wakes me and Abbie up

**  This does not help the grumpiness!!

**  I have not had more than 6 hours sleep for nearly a month.

**  In fact the last 2 weeks 4-5 hours of sleep is as good as it gets

**  That is not enough if you ask me!!

**  That’s the biggest thing I miss about before having kids… mmmm…. sleep…..

**  I really appreciate my mothers group friends who wrote nice things about me over the last couple of days

**  Thank you nice mothers group friends.

**  It helped me to know that you are there for me.

**  Sometimes I do not like being a girl 😉

**  I am wondering if whether it is just me – or whether PMT really does multiply with each baby you have?!

**  Maybe the exhaustion just takes away the coping mechanisms!?

**  Boys are lucky

**  One of Hannah and my favourite things to do is to watch the kite surfers and the wind surfers at the beach

**  I’d love to fly like they do over the water.

**  But I will never try it – it looks far too much like hard work.

**  Yesterday we watched the kites for 15 mins on the way home from Hannah’s daycare

**  It made us both very happy – there were a lot of kites out. This is half of them…

**  Despite all the lack of sleep and other muck, I am very thankful for my life.

**  It is a really good one…

**  I have a great family

**  … I am happy.

**  Enjoy the rest of your week…
