Fathers Night Stand In

The big sqirrels travel schedule stuffed up so he can't be here this week like he had planned. Frankly everyone is upset about it, well maybe with one exception....My Dad! Poppy got the special honour of stand in Dad at the twins Fathers Night at kinder.

The lovely photos were taken at kinder and emailed. So thoughtful

Movie

Yep - we made it a whole week into the holidays before resorting to the movies.

Reading

Off to school in pj's - him not me!

The whole school reading to a special person.

I love that he loves to read

thirty eight

An early start to a busy day that also happens to be my birthday. The best thing about a birthday is those early morning cuddles. Thankfully today we didn't rush out for breakfast as we had a basketball match...but Dad needed a quick snooze, oh I mean he was looking after the boys while I relaxed. )or thats his story!

After basketball, off to Yum Cha for lunch which was fast but delish.

Then home for a quick cake

Alexander off to a gym bus party

Kinder fundraiser carnival - where i had to speak

and manage two boys who where a bit overwhelmed

but we got there in the end

Duty

I did kinder duty today and with that privilege comes another one - another visit from Edward bear. Spencer loved having his company - on what could be our busiest weekend of the year. Lets hope Edward can keep up.My big boy heading off to his school disco. An evening event where they get frocked up and dance like mad. Growing up so fast!!!

Wacky day

It was wacky hair day today. The shops are out of coloured hairspray only leaving us with white. His hair is actually cut like this and has been for a while, just its usually so flat that you can't tell. He was a bit happy with himself. At least one of us was.

I was so low today everything was a struggle. We managed the hair thing and had to get moving quickly because the cupboards are bare - no bread, no milk. Nothing. We were off to McDonalds for breakfast and lunch was a lunch order. The kids thought it was great but I felt like a failure. Luckily the other families in there having breakfast were all in the same boat so we weren't judging each other!! The big squirrel is home tomorrow so hopefully that will ease the burden and I am off to get some food!!!

Psyched

I've been psyched and I don't think I like it.

I started seeing a psychologist to get help with managing the boys. It is through our local council so when it was really bad in April, by August when I got my first appointment, it has kind of managed itself. Still she is really helpful and really nice. She is also really good.

It probably doesn't seem like it here, but I don't really like talking about myself. The first appointment was fine because we weren't talking about me, it was about the boys and I had done a lot, talked to people, researched, seen specialists, so that we were talking in a conversation rather than answering questions. However, this time it changed and she managed to get me to think and talk about things that I didn't really want to. Maybe not want to but didn't enjoy may be a better explanation.

So I went from looking forward to having a chat, to coming out feeling flat. It is not her fault just got me thinkin', and thats not always fun.
