  • File This Under TMI

    I got my period on time, even though we know we nailed the timing. However, my period only lasted 3 days (normally 7) before fading off into some on again/off again spotting before finishing.

    I also normally have terrible period pain and this time I didn’t have a single cramp or ache.

    Then on Sunday I had a little more spotting (4 days after my period finished), very unusual for me because I never spot mid cycle. Ever. Once my period has stopped, that it is.

    So after a little spotting Monday (not even enough to warrant a panty liner) a bit yesterday and a bit this morning, I am now feeling crampy and yucky and the spotting is getting a touch heavier and is more pinky that brown.

    Nathan is going to buy me a preg test tonight before he goes to work, but I won’t be able to do it until the morning (it is late Wednesday night at the moment).

    So my internets what do you think?

    Is a pregnancy possible or not?

    Ah also, we haven’t been having sex (too many other things going on since my period finished) so I can’t even blame it on sex.

    Ideas?

  • WTH?

    How the hell did it get this late without me actually getting hardly anything done? Dude, I need an extra few hours in my day. You know, those ones that don’t actually count towards anything.

    Now I could have a whine about my dialup and how it keeps dropping out on me. With no warning, just BOOM! Please reconnect!

    And then? Once I have redialled to connect? My ISP’s computer thingy won’t connect to me.

    Dodgy bloody thing. Ah well, what can I expect for nothing.

    We got the very final bits of paperwork for the house in today.

    10 days people, 10 days!

    Then! We can move!

    And we can get a puppy!

    And put in a vegie garden!

    Anyway, would you like to see what I have been doing all evening?

    Food!

  • No No NO!

    There are some things I swear I will never do again if I can help it. Most of these are work related but some aren’t.

    I will never crumb scallops. Time in the kitchen crumbing 8kg scallops 2 times a week has ruined scallops for me.

    I don’t want to work with fillo pastry. I will however, eat it and complement whoever made it, because damn that stuff is fiddly.

    I HATE mopping. With a vengance. Nathan mops our house, unless Amy spills something really sticky and it can’t be fixed with a cloth. Yes, that does mean I would rather get down on my hands and knees and scrub the floor with a cloth rather than mop it. I’m difficult like that.

    I will never sleep with someone twice my age. EVER. AGAIN.

    I will never spend time in a walk in freezer without wearing a jacket. Brrrrr. Also? I hate packing away groceries.

    I will never run, slip in oil and land under the dishwasher. Not if I can help it baby, that one hurt!

    I will never work until 1am alone. Motherhood is different.

    I will never jullienne enough vegetables to fill a 20 litre bucket. Nope, no way, no how.

    I will never make mayonaise from scratch by hand. My arm ached for days!

    I will never share house.

    I will never let anyone smoke cones in my (and my boyfriends) bedroom at 1am. NEVER. EVER. AGAIN.

    I will not tolerate kitty litter. Especially uncleaned litter boxes. *shudder* That one is so bad, I don’t want to think about it.

    I don’t want to ever have to lock a dog inside for any amount of time. Again? So bad I don’t want to think about it.

    I won’t eat mussels cooked in a restaurant.

    I won’t drink Woodstock Bourbon and Coke. Even the smell makes me sick now. Or vodka and coke. *shudder*

    What things won’t you do ever again?

    PS. Any of these things is subject to change as my circumstances do.

  • Questions and Small Annoyances

    Hello! Glad that you could make it. Now, I would like to burden you bother you ask you some questions and fill your brain with mindlessness.

    I just tweaked my template. Does it suck? Is anything broken?

    Big shout out to Kelley who is using the same template and let me shamelessly copy her modified CSS, so that I could change the colour. Thankyou!

    Which is worse for you, brie cheese or chocolate? And is mixing them doubly unhealthy?

    I have to pee lots lately. My period just finished so I can’t be pregnant.

    My recliner won’t move back to a sitting position. It makes it hard to move so I can go pee. However, I think that peeing myself is not something I am comfortable doing, no matter how hard it is to get unstuck from the chair. (You know, except when I was in labour and I swear it was better than pooping on the table, plus getting up was kind of hard because I had a baby crowning. Anyways, moving on).

    Nathan bought me two (2!) blocks of chocolate yesterday. I wonder where they went, because they seem to have disappeared very fast. Maybe Amy learned to climb the cupboards while I was sleeping?

    Speaking of sleeping there hasn’t been very much of it happening here lately. As I write this she has just woken up and is needing to be resettled. It is 11pm. No, wait! Now she is out of bed. Be right back!

    Ah yep, there is that recliner problem I mentioned. I may have possibly gotten a tad stuck as I was trying to bound to my daughters aid.

    But I am back now and my injury will heal.

    The sleep I have lost though? I will never regain.

    She had a 30 min nap today, only because I let her fall asleep in my arms. To top that off she is waking up and getting out of bed 4-5 times a night. I get to wake up to the pitter patter of tiny toddler feet and the very loud, ‘MUM-EEE’ that she announces her arrival with.

    Good times my friends, good times.

    Now, I am off to find the last few pieces of chocolate and eat them along with a wedge of brie. Then? I am going to try and get some sleep.

    Tomorrow I will tackle the recliner problem.
