People search for some strange stuff to find me here. Along with these searches, I also get the regular ones, like – sleepless nights, sleepless toddler, sleepless nights toddler/baby, how to make your toddler fall asleep etc. Anyway these ones here are some of the different searches I have had in the last week.

extra long ladies dressing gown – So that you can keep your ankles toasty and warm I guess?

the sound of you eating annoys me – The sound of anyone eating with their mouth open annoys me, but hey, HOW are they eating exactly?

tickling with feather stories – Well, there was this one time…

japan sucks balls – Ooooookay. If you say so. Not having balls myself, I wouldn’t know.

am I ovulating my opk says no – Honey, if your predictor kit says that you aren’t ovulating, then you probably aren’t ovulating. Either that or you are doing the test wrong.

toddler falling asleep with milk in her mouth – That’s okay, it will either dribble out and you will end up with a crusty faced toddler, or she will swallow it. It shouldn’t hurt her.

toddler sucking nipple – I don’t want to even think about who you are and what you were doing on my blog.

good luck of 2 birds in my house – It is good luck? Well, sheesh! Why didn’t anyone tell me that? I might have spent less time squealing and more time thanking my lucky stars last time I had birds in the house.

what are the things which annoy children – All kinds of thing. Sometimes even someone breathing near them will cause a tantrum. Why do you want to annoy children may I ask?

Progesterone test shows I ovulate – Hey me too! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I’m still not pregnant though.

no egg-white mucus this month – Were you checking regularly? Could you have missed some? No? Then you probably didn’t ovulate.

19 year old grey hair – Yeah yeah, I know. Don’t remind me. I need to buy some dye already.

can you have a fireplace in the kitchen? – Ummm DUH! Of course you can! Why, you can even cook on it! Who knew?

‘tickle her feet’ feather – There is a special feather for that kind of thing???

lady where to get dressy shorts – In the dressy short section. Wait! I didn’t know you could get dressy shorts. Do they look different to regular shorts? Maybe they have sequins…

stuffing trackies into boots – If you are wearing boots, then you shouldn’t be wearing trackies (sweatpants). Unless of course you meant gumboots (wellingtons)? And then I would say, yes, stuff away. How else are you going to keep your trackies out of the mud?

toddler boys grabbing breasts – Yeah, I am just going to walk away backwards from this one. You are creepy m’dear.

People are weird y’know?

You know what? I didn’t even realise yesterday was delurk day until I was over at Ree’s place and saw this post.

Well, blow me down, how did I miss that?

So I pinched the pretty little graphic off her page and slightly modified it (What? I’m allowed! And as it is still the 10th in a good portion of the world, I will defend my right to do so).

So hello! And big waves to my lurkers. Who are you? How did you find me? If you leave me your blog addy, I promise to try and get back to comment on your post. Even better, leave me your favourite email address and I will personally email you back.

Anything you want to know about yours truly? I will make it open season. Ask me a question and I PROMISE to answer you back. How’s that for love?

Don’t you hate it, when there is something at the forefront of your mind and YOU CAN’T BLOG ABOUT IT??? Arghhh!

So anyway, I hope that I can tell you guys about it next week sometime. I can tell you that is awesomely good and it makes me want to jump up and down and yell ‘SQUEEEEEEEEEEE’ (and I don’t normally shout squeeee!), but no, I’m not pregnant. Have I gotten your interest sufficiently piqued yet?

I suppose this is where I should tell you to Subscribe! so that you don’t miss my reveal all post, but honestly, if you don’t think I am awesome and wonderful and want to heap bloggy love on me then meh, don’t subscribe.

See? How easy was that?

Now onto today’s regular blog.

Who on earth convinced me to subscribe to blog365? Oh wait, I know. It was Sarah, she tipped me over the edge and made me say ‘Dammit! All the cool kids are doing it, I want to be involved already!’ So I joined. And now I wish I hadn’t as I am blogging about random drivel.

Oh wait! Look, something SHINY!

Are you distracted yet?

Sooooooooo, today was hot. Meltingly hot. Have I mentioned that I live in TASMANIA? That is very close to ANTARCTICA. It shouldn’t be this hot here *sigh*.

See? See? Do you SEE???

I am hot.

I used to be able to write while I listened to music. Not anymore apparently because I just had to turn my music off so I could write a coherent sentence.

Unfortunately, the ability to write a coherent sentence does NOT actually give me anything good to write about. So damn.

My daughter is playing by my side, absolutely covered in pen. She seems to have discovered that drawing on paper is not half as much fun as drawing all over her legs. Oh wait! Now she is climbing up onto my lap. Joys! After holding her by her feet and swinging her from side to side, much like a pendulum, I have managed to extricate myself from her grasp for long enough to write this sentence.

She is chewing on my knee now.

Oh wait! Now climbing me sounds good again.

Okay. I am back. She has been placated with a cup of peas. Peas you ask? Yes peas. My daughters love of peas is amazing. She would happily eat peas (slightly minted thankyou!) for every meal.

So now, what was I blogging about? You don’t know? Shit. I didn’t tell you yet, did I.

In amongst all the pea getting, hot water and toddler dodging, spoon manhandling and leg climbing, I completely forgot what I was going to talk about.

Maybe about the complete lack of Tasmania bloggers about the place. (Do you know any? Do ya? Huh? Tell meeeeeeeeeeeee!)

Or about how I feel so far different to the other kids in my age group. (Yes, kids. Do you know, they are going out and partying? How. Much. Fun. Or not.)

Maybe about how Amy drew on the wall in pen and I had to scrub it off. (I haven’t told Nathan this one yet. Ooops)

Or how she has tattooed her dolls heads. (She wants them to be like her Poppy apparently)

We discovered today that milk + frozen berries + the blender = Amy’s favourite beverage. (and healthy too!)

We also discovered that tomato stains the carpet (and Ajax is fantastic for getting it out)

Also that the Toddler likes copying what Mummy is doing (by spreading food into the carpet as I am Ajaxing food stains out. She used the exact same hand movements I was)

I have noticed that she does a very distinct set of movements when she needs to wee, probably about 30 seconds before she actually does. (yes Amy, we are going to buy you this fun thing called a potty!)

So anyway, does anyone know of a meal you can make entirely out of condiments? Maybe with a few peas thrown in? I seem to have a cupboard full of sauces and not much else. *sigh*

That’s okay though, we will survive. You know why? Because I still have peas. Yay!
