When DH and I first became a couple, we made the decision that I would stay home with our children and he would be the bread winner. This worked well for us when we had just 2 children until he was retrenched and found it difficult to find another job. So, we had to reassess our situation and after doing some job searching myself, I worked for a few years ... Read More

Or should I say B'Day!! Tomorrow, my sister will be induced so she can give birth to her baby. Nice and early, she and her DH will be stopping by to pick me up (because I live on the way to the hospital) and we're going in to have a baby! Well, not me (this time! LOL).

I swear if I have to endure one more sleepless night listening to (not so D)H and the baby snoring like freight trains, I am going to go crazy! OK so the baby doesn't snore THAT loud but it is enough to be distracting especially because she co-sleeps with us most nights. But the snoring from that man I'm married to is enough for me to smother him with ... Read More

Everyone was occupied so I thought I'd quietly slip into the bathroom to have a shower when.......... "But I washed the dishes last night!" "The baby hit me!" "Do we have to go to school on the last day of term?" "I can't wait until Aunty Penny's birthday party!"
