stuff and nonsense

Lots of different things:

1.So much going on! I can't believe that Rudd might not be prime minister in a couple of hours! I can't see how replacing him is going to make any difference?

2.I hate inspections! I realise that people need to check on the home we borrow (and make them rich in the process), but why every 12 weeks. It is good in a way because it means the house gets a really good clean every three months, but I hate it. I guess I could never be in the army with room inspections or whatever all the time!

3. Miss El's cough is much better (in fact almost non-existent!) So will continue with extra physio until the anti biotics are finished. Then go back to our more normal existence!

4. Cleft Pals AGM on Saturday! The girls and I will be going along! A will be taking J to work with him. I like to keep in touch with what is going on and the AGM is a good way to do this. Looking forward to going along.

Those are my ramblings for the day!

Well miss El's cough has not cleared up so she is on anti biotics, again. Hopefully this will do the trick.

I think as a home schooling Mum you have to make a conscious effort to make your kids not become too dependent on you. I find my kids expect me to do everything for them and they find it quite challenging to do things for themselves. Yes, I know they are young, but an almost five year old can wipe their own bottom, and an almost seven year old can make a sandwich!

I went skating on the weekend, on my own, and had the most fabulous time, but I did feel slightly guilty that I didn't take the bigger kids with me. Next time I will take them (maybe)!

We have a nice quiet day today, which is good, I really enjoy my quiet days at home.

Clinic

clinic today, so I am a little stressball. That's why I'm up before everyone else. That and El's coughing has kept me up during the night. Her cough has been much worse since Saturday night. Hopefully all will go well.
