It's kinda silly and I'm not crying anymore but I was about 2hours ago I had a pretty good day today - My parents came over and we took Elana to the park and then we had fish & chips for lunch afterwards. Got home and Nick got home a bit later and about 5ish Andy called to ask if I wanted to go to the hospital to see Jess - which of course I did. But 20seconds after I got off the phone I remembered I had a blocked nose -- I have that winter nose - actually its a winter and a summer nose -...

It's 9:22am - I've been up since 6:30 and I'm having one of those who can be stuffed doing anything kind of days. The problem with the internet is you can't communicate HOW you're speaking so the person on the other end could take something you think you're saying calmly - as angrilly or incensed. To clarify - if anyone reads this -- I'm not taking sides - I understand it is anyone's perogitive to delete and blacklist whomever they want for whatever reason they wish. I did however agr...

It is 8:33am - Elana is sitting in a Breville Breadmaker box with some of her toys and I'm almost asleep. You see Elana refused to have a nap at anytime yesterday so she fell asleep on her bottle at 6pm last night - she drank half of it stopped drinking and rolled over (in her sleep) -- we put her to be about 6:45pm (her bedtime is 7pm) Last night I watched the Emmy Awards and the special on Channel 9 (I flicked) and was intending to watch some if not all of the Brownlow Medal awards. But...

Okay so I don't have much to say - i just didn't like all those poems so I needed a new topic. I was cringing reading all that rubbish again - how can a 16yo girl think she was so in love with a pointless crush - it was bad. That kid didn't know what love was. *sigh* anyway so this morning apparently ELana got Nick up at 4am and wouldn't let him leave the room - I wouldn't know I was asleep - although I do remember waking up and hearing the music from her fish and thought huh? then I ...

Thanks Brad and other admins who put the watch list feature on - All my articles are on watch list - which is how I know that I'm being spammed. I check my email notice that one of my old articles has been commented on and immediately I suspect spamming. And I'm right so I go straight to the article in question delete said spam and go about my day. Thanks Stardock!

After what seems like weeks of blockage and nothing to write about - Not even blogs about Elana - I seem to be on a role this morning and I can't seem to be able to stop saying every thought that comes into my head. And I still haven't written about my bad day. Or my irrational fears or the Chinese food I ate last night So bare with me as I continue to spill what seems to be verbal diarrhoea of my thoughts - My brain is spilling out but it's not articluating correctly the way I think ...

I went shopping with my best friend today which was great and we went to K-mart and Target and all over Indooroopilly ran into my in-laws and had a Boost and a kebab. I went with the sole purpose of trying to find an outfit for Christmas Day (boxing day actually) with the family and a pair of overalls for Elana to wear to her birthday party at the park. And do you think I could find anything? NO! I found some beautiful dresses and pants/top sets in Target, and a gorgeous overall dr...

It's already March and I haven't blogged since Elana's birthday. I haven't even written anything in Elana's baby book since long before her 3rd birthday - what a bad mummy I am. I got a hair cut a couple weeks ago. Elana started day care one day a week. Over the Christmas break everything shut down and she was so bored and lonely. Laila (next door neighbour) had gone overseas on holidays for a month just after Elana's birthday, Play Group broke up for the holidays and returne...

Today I put Elana in the bath with her track suit pants and knickers around her ankles. Elana was driving me crazy today she was just very very grizzly she really wanted Nick to be home from work and wasn't very easy to console. By the time bath time came around I was so over it she got Kraft Mac & Cheese for dinner. So I ran the bath while she was sitting in Nick's chair listening to her playlist on Nick's comp (Wish You Well - Bernard Fanning, Don't You Think It's Time - Bob Evans, Fix...

Your brother in law calls at 7am to tell your husband that blood elves are now to become paladins and that's like THE biggest news ever.

I've been on JU for over two years - I know this because I clearly remember writing my "i'm 21 on the other side of the world" blog the day after my birthday and it's 5days after my 23rd birthday so it's definitely two years. I'm 23. I feel so old. I had a really great day despite the Origin loss. Rin made me cupcakes and bought me a Jersey with my name on it (my senior jersey got lost 3years ago) it's a state of origin jersey but it's not really obvious and there's a "trina" embroi...

We're moving on Saturday. We signed the lease yesterday and were supposed to pick up the keys this morning but we didn't. The movers are coming between 10 and 12 on Saturday and I've hardly packed a thing. Because as I was looking around trying to decide where do I begin it occured to me half this stuff isn't suitable for boxes and hence the magic of woolworths/coles green bags they're sturdy, they're lighter then boxes and they have handles. But once the packing is over and you've unpack...

It's 5 past 9am. Elana is lying on her tummy watching Bambaloo (have I mentioned I hate bambaloo?) having been awake since 4 freaking AM. Yes apparently she woke up very upset but I only woke up when I rolled over and there she was sitting between me and Nick - at 4am. She lay/sat/stood between us until 20 past 5am when Nick turned the tv on to see the time and she and Nick got at at 6am. I managed to doze until 7am when I had to get up to give her weetbix and iron nick's clothes -- it was...

Even though nothing has really happened I feel like I've been really busy. I think I've just been really reluctant to blog for reasons I will not get into but they suck anyway. Elana is 18months old now. She's 81cm (2.6 foot) tall and roughly 12kg (26 pounds) she's a very confident walker and runner and is attempting to jump -- it's really funny to watch, and dance. She has 3 proper words duck - duct alex - asss jatz - datz as well as Da-Dah (dada) UT (up) soc (sock) soos (shoe...
