Two Front Teeth, Frilly Dresses, Days off Work and Birthday Money

Dallins two front teeth have popped up over the past week or so. I felt for the poor boy since its bad enough coping with getting one let alone two. Atleast noone can say I havnt suffered along with him since sometimes he thinks its a good idea to have a good hard bite while Im breastfeeding him. Ouchies for sure! I used to moan when his gums would get a good grip, now add two little rough edged teeth to it and you've got one screaming mum and a cheeky smiley faced monkey, hahaha. Im sure he knows that biting me hurts because as soon as I dig my finger in there to break free, he's got a huge smile on his face, nnnnnaughty boy! And ontop of his teeth he's got the flu, double boo. The upside is that he doesnt grizzle his way through the whole thing, that would be stinkies.

As for miss Ash bash, she's another one with the flu. She doesnt like wearing layers of clothes as it is so its been a struggle trying to keep her warm. Yes our Ash likes summer dresses she can twirl around in, a real girly girl. Of course I'm the one who gets into trouble whenever my own mother comes around and catches her parading around in a frilly dress like a fairy princess, as if I havnt tried all morning to keep her snuggled up in winter woolies. Kids will be kids, they dont feel the cold and just want to play and have fun.

Of course my dear husband didnt want to miss out on the indoor fun so he went ahead and got himself the flu so he could spend some time at home. I appreciate that our sniffles and sneezes have given us the chance be at home together to hug the fire and sit around like old people in a retirement home (minus the tapioca pud and bingo hahaha).

All this being stuck at home has given me time to think of what I might spend my bday riches on. Clothes? Perhaps. A new and decent haircut? Its about time for another one, but we'll see how I feel. At the risk of sounding desperately housewife-ish, something new for the kitchen???? Dont need to (thanks bro for the slow cooker). I know, something edible for the kids in my Sunday school class? Nah. Its funny coz I know I've spent time thinking of what I would buy if I had money to spare, and now I havnt a clue. I'll probably spend it on the kids. I always feel better when I've added to their wardrobes things they can grow in to. Yes. Thats what it will go towards, if we ever make it outta here alive!!! Da-dummmmmmmmm!

sicky 28th birthday

Today I turned 28. I have a sore throat and a bit of a headache, pretty stink. It was cooooldies all day and I was not feeling it at all. But I couldnt go to bed without bloggin a little sumthin about my "happy birthday" as Ash puts it. I suppose if I wasnt so sicky sick, I would have enjoyed the gifts I was given by my favorite people. Thankfully, I didnt have to get outta my jim jams til I was ready to go out and run errands as my wonderful friend came and dropped off a gift for me and offered to take my girl to kindy, allowing my son and I to go back to bed and keep warm for an extra hour. Bliss!

Took my gran out so she could get stuff done and came back to my mums to sprawl out infront of the awesome fireplace. Right when I was about to doze off, I had to go back out into the cold to go get my husband from the train station, brrrrrr! We go get dinner for the whanau, then I find my spot again by the fire. Yuss! Since our whole little family is coughy and headachy, we decided to camp at mums since it was already warm. SO here I am. In bed, next to the fire, my son and I. Waaaaarmies!

And now Im tired. Sleep time for me.
