New Header and Poo

by Veronica on March 24, 2008

in Life

I know some people noticed my new header (if you can’t see it clear your cookies and refresh the page or click over from your reader) and I just want to give a big thankyou to Angie from Rio Oso Designs for it.

Sorry that it took me so long to get it up, but now it is here it looks amazing. Thankyou SO MUCH!

I actually won the header design in a competition. First thing I have won, EVER!

Now I need to modify the colour scheme a little to suit it, but that is work for tomorrow. Or whenever I get a chance to actually get near my computer to do more than check emails and write blogs.

———-

Easter was good fun. Unfortunately we sort of forgot that chocolate contains milk.

And Amy’s tummy doesn’t handle dairy products.

After Amy pooed 2 times (and I still hadn’t clicked that it was chocolate induced) I let her run around with no nappy on.

I know, I am STUPID.

Oh yes, she did poo on the floor. She even had the decency to TELL me she pooed on the floor, just not exactly where she pooed.

So there I was trying to herd a toddler and a puppy away from poo and I didn’t know where it was. Somehow they both found it while I didn’t.

And they walked in it.

All through the loungeroom.

And yes, I was a bad bad blogger (but a good mother/housekeeper heh) and didn’t take photos because I was much too busy trying to stop Seven simutaneously eating and walking poo through the house.

Fun times.

Do you know how hard it is to put a puppy outside, while wiping a toddlers feet (so that she didn’t make any more mess) and cleaning up millions (yes, there were millions. No, I have no idea how they managed to take so many steps in so little time) of poopy footprints?

Then I accidentally locked myself outside.

Next Easter if we still have dairy issues Amy is getting dark chocolate.

And no nappy free time.

The header is amazing. Sorry about the poo. I can live without photographic evidence of it, can’t speak for your other fans.

The new header looks fantastic!

So far we have dodged the Toddler Poo on the Floor adventure and I just hope it stays that way. This is one instance where living vicariously through you is good enough for me.

The rule is the dirtier the feet the faster they walk/run/jump/climg. Ugh. It was funny from here!

I love the new header and am glad that I just didn’t miss seeing it for weeks…ha.

I love the header! And the poo story? Not so fun for you, but kind of funny for us. At least it was good blogging material.

Nice header, bad poo.

At least it wasn’t finger-painted onto the walls.

EW! That happened to me not that long ago, sans the puppy and locking myself out of the house. Cleaning poo footprints out of carpet is just horrific. You have my sympathy.

Header looks fantastic, btw, love it!

Hee hee, poopy footprints. Shame about the milk thing. Maybe next year she will know that too much chocolate makes her sick and you can dole it out in small doses. My grand-daughter was voluntarily refusing many foods by the age of two and a half because “dat make me sick” they learn pretty quickly what gives them violent abdominal pain and vomiting.Not to mention the diarrhoea. Anyway by next Easter amy may well be potty trained.

Well, I have 3 kids. 8yrs, 3yrs and 2 yrs…..only 13 months between nb 2 and 3. And I hate to be a bearer of bad news…but I STILL get up EVERYNIGHT to BOTH of them. And I am fucking exhuasted all the time. And grumpy. But, I love them anyway….which is good, cos they are feral.

I am in awe of that fabulous header – a well deserved win.
