My thoughts are not straying far from those of my fellow queenslanders who are being affected by the floods. 75% of the state has been declared a disaster zone, that is huge.

I had the most crazy shopping experience yesterday, when I went to do my weekly shop, I found that almost all the trolleys were being used, there was no bread, no eggs, no water, no baked beans or spaghetti (which is ok as I don't like bb or spag) and have of the suburb was actually in the shops!! It took 45 minutes to get through the checkout. It was more crazy then christmas. My plan is too lay low for the next little while, which is what the powers that be have asked us to do. It amazes me that people are allowed to live where flood levels have risen to previously and then say that they are shocked that the river is in their houses. My hearts are still breaking for them as they are set to lose everything, which is beyond my comprehension.

Miss El is still coughing, although nowhere near as often as 10 days ago. She has her annual review next month which I'm starting to get anxious about. I hate CF.

J went to the dentist on Saturday, and has no fillings!! But he needs to stop sucking his thumb! I have only seen him once since then, so hopefully it won't be too hard a habit to break! We had lots of plans for the holidays but much has been put on hold for the weather. Rain rain go away. At least it is sunny this morning, I even have washing on the line (SHHH!).

Miss Em has her annual appointment with her orthadontist next week. So I am furiously flossing and brushing her teeth, which I do fairly regularly most of the time, but get alittle panicked about this close to her appointment. She is quite looking forward to it, because last year she received a new sparkly pink toothbrush. Please let it be the same this year!!!

Prayers for all the flood victims!

Miss El's cough has become worse so we have started anti biotics. More antibiotics! Hopefully this will clear it up.

We are having a great time with Mr A on holidays this week. The house is an absolute pigsty but we have decided to ignore it until tomorrow! Then we will probably ignore it til the next day!!

I really need to decide what to do for school registration this year. It is only a few weeks until we are meant to start, and I have nothing planned, no books, nothing to start with. I sometimes wish I could let someone else decide! But then I could just send them to school really couldn't I?

cough, cough, cough. The sound constantly in our house at the moment. Interrupting sleep. Never before have I felt that there should be something more that we can do to help. Physio twice a day against this dreadful disease seems woeful. It makes you feel powerless to watch as cough after cough after vomit after cough attacks the tiny body of your child. What more can we do?
