How Do You Do?

A questionnaire is about all I can muster up at the moment.  The child is refusing to have a day sleep, refusing to go to bed at night, wakes up during the night, then wants to start the day at 5:30am!  To say it's draining my enthusiasm for blogging would be an understatement.

1.  Were you named after anyone?
Yes, my great grandmother.

2.  When was the last time you cried?
Monday afternoon.  I was just so frustrated with Rory.

Yes.

9.  Would you bungee jump.
Umm let's see.  I hate heights, I hate falling, I hate being upside down.  That'd be a no.

Weetbix Wild Berry Bites.

My Nan.

Black shorts and brown ugg slippers.

Still Alive

I'm still here, I've just felt like a break from blogging.

I've been sick and couldn't attend a wedding we were invited to, which was very disappointing.   Thank goodness for my mum and Duncan holding the fort.  I'm feeling a bit better now though.

We chose to can our Perth holiday and go to Albany instead.  Partly because of the heat and I just couldn't handle rushing around visiting everyone.

Rory chose to wean himself off his dummy (we bought him a new one and he chucked a sad because he wanted the old one).  He only used it for sleeping, but this resulted in a lack of sleep for his mummy and daddy for a while.  He seems to have adjusted for now, praise the Lord.  I was afraid he was going to drop his day sleep and that would not be good.

Summer has just been so, so draining.

We are off to Esperance on Monday.  When we get back, blogging will resume with some regularity.
