Nanny asks, “Have you got Daddy`s hands Zethy?”

Zeth looks at Mum and says, “Nooo, I got Zethy`s hands, not Daddy`s hands…”

:) Children make light of any heavier moment. Thank-you my sweet, beautiful souls. XXX

Love and healing to my Dad who hasn`t been, and isn`t very well. We are all sending lots of love and thoughts to you and Mum. XX

Yes, as there has been much talk of poop, I thought I would share something with you.

Zeth had a rather full nappy this morning… I put it to the side and he looked at it and said, “Mummy, chocolate!”

No darling, that definitely is not chocolate!

My Daughter, Damaris, painted a beautiful picture today. She painted a love heart (which represented me with cheeks and a smile) and it was within a rainbow. Thank-you Damaris for bringing some love and beauty to me today. XXX

Bless you XX

Hiya Beautifuls,

It`s been a pretty cool week of rehearsals (including the wonderful banana cake that Kathy made on Tuesday night), and being alive.

Gary and I get a terrible lack of sleep each night due to our oldest daughter feeling scared, upset and anxious to go to bed, let alone staying asleep all through the night. She will wake anywhere from about 1:30-2:30am and cause a big rukus (often waking up Zeth… Zyah most nights will stay asleep as she is a bit of a `log` sleeper) before eventually going to sleep after 1-3 hours of shouting, screaming, crying and questions… It`s pretty tiring and upsetting for us.

For me… came home yesterday afternoon to feel slightly nauseas (possibly due to a very dry, horrible, dodgy tasting pecan pie at “Cookies and Donuts”… of which my Mum and I told them of our disgust and it seems that they were 2-4 days old) whilst eating dinner, went to do some singing practice in the computer room (whilst keeping in touch with the world…) and then it had to come to an abrupt stop. I felt pretty sick by this time so Gary ran for the bucket and I sat, wincing and looking a tad icky, scared of the prospect of vomiting (I have a big fear of vomiting).

Whilst I fed Zeth (who was almost asleep) I looked at Gary rather anxiously and said, “You`re going to have to take him, I`m going to be sick”. Just with moments to spare I had the first bought of sickness, ARGH!

I had another two more after this and the `number 2` syndrome too happening… Not cool!

So… still feeling `anyhow` (as my Nan used to say) and a little annoyed when I can`t get on and do things, simple things like ironing and looking after the children, as normal.

I haven`t eaten much at all, had a little to drink throughout the day. I had 4 hours of rested sleep this afternoon as Gary had bub and the girls were with their Uncle and Aunty. That was a nice help.

So know that I love you all… I always feel guilty when I don`t get to write too much, but just know that I am thinking of you.

To my beautiful Canadian friend, take care, stay gorgeous and love you. XXX

Be bad all and Love you! XX
