Miscellany Monday

Linking up again with some random ramblings....

Poop

Dida is poo-phobic. Yes that is poo all over him. Note to self: check a small persons nappy BEFORE whipping it off in a manly cowboy kind of way. Just saying.

Barometer

I know how hot and humid it is via my coconut oil. It's meant to be semi solid (ie scoopable) at room temperature. It's been liquid. Two words: stifling and stuffy.

Grace

 Blossom is teaching Rupi extreme patience by standing in his space constantly. The girl has no concept of personal space. Not sure where she gets that from.

Yes they both have pony tails. Yes Dida is still horrified.

Have a wonderful Monday!

Miscellany Monday (on my Tuesday!)

Linking up with Miscellany Monday (and it's Tuesday- does that give an indication of how my week is going???)

Mr Ordered

Rupi "parks" his trains when he's finished playing with them. All in a row against something. And heaven help you if you move them- they are PARKED and ORGANISED people!

Sickness

Can I say how sick to death I am of sickness? The highlight of my weekend was a call to Healthline as Blossom had not been taking much in the way of fluids for a day or so- to be told that unless I get 5ml into her every 5min she was off to hospital. Way to cause panic in this Mama's heart... And Blossom put on her "I am being murdered, call the police" act every single time I syringed the fluid into her. That would be every single 5 minutes. It was rather a long day.

Brekkie

I ♥ sharing food with Rupi. It makes us both very happy to eat out of one bowl or plate. He slinks up to me when I am eating breakfast and climbs up quietly and steals mouthfuls of my food. He shouldn't be sitting on the table at all, but somehow gets away with it in this case! Yes that IS a can of fly spray behind him. I can't believe that I have sunk this low- using yucky chemicals in the air. But I hate flies more than I hate chemicals and there are so MANY of the little devils.

Miscellany Monday

It's Monday and time for a bit of randomness once again. I don't have to think hard at all to have one or sixteen things spring to mind. Randomness rocks!

Sandpaper


Be sure, when washing exfoliating scrub off your face, to shut your eyes TIGHTLY. Scratching your eyeballs with scrub is oh so, NOT fantastic.


Blossomy delicious-ness

I secretly love that this little petal can only be put to sleep properly by me, will often only take her bottle from me and cries (loudly, of course) if I am in the room and someone else is holding her. Rod for my back? I don't think so.


Kefir goodness

As long as you don't think about these tooooo much you are ok. They are "grains" which is a little more palatable than the mushroom-like discs (which Soulemama has). BUT. They are LOADED with goodness and are make probiotic heavenly goodness (they flavour water, you don't eat them). Gifted to us by our friend Meg, they are living in the corner of the kitchen, busily doing stuff.

Croc-a-doc

Here is Rupi rocking his first ever pair of crocs. He would not take them off and looks super cute (in my humble opinion of course!)

UP... and away!

 "Up" is the most incredible movie. Rupi watches it so often and I love it. It's a really good one with healthy themes- marriage, good versus evil and friendship. Oh and some excellent humour that always makes me giggle. Rupi knows the characters by name and calls "Russell!!!" when Russel first enters the movie, like he's a long lost friend. Russsselllll!!!

That's all the random I got. For now. Be warned.

Miscellany Monday

Gonna join some linky things and where better to start than one that specialises in random-ness? I excell in random!

1. Howler monkey

.

My daughter can howl like a banshee. People don't believe us and then hear it for themselves. She sounds like she is being murdered, but is really just settling down for a nap. She's doing her howler monkey impersonation right now. I am trying to eat my lunch but it's stressful and I am eating faster than I should (sigh)

{image source} Blossom DOES NOT look like this. Just so you know...

2. Aslan

I watched Voyage of the Dawn Treader and cried everytime Aslan came on the screen. I miss Jesus. Can't explain it and not going to get all theological...but some part of my heart just plain misses the physical presence of Him. I would love to curl up next to Aslan and rest my head on his side and hear His breathing....

3. Use by date

I used basil pesto I made in April 2009 on a salad yesterday. It was frozen and defrosted ok, not sure if this was a gross thing to do or not? Maybe I don't want an answer to that.


4. Hello?

At my SIL's yesterday I saw a program on the cardashion (sp?) sisters. Soooo funny! But it made me realise that I put in NO effort to keep myself maintained compared to those girls. I came home and plucked my eyebrows, shaved my legs and painted my nails. Felt mucho better.

Well, I could go one for hours but this is enough random-ness for one day...FUN!


P.S. Blossom has dropped off to sleep. The neighbours can now relax. Until the next nap.

P.P.S. Question for the Kiwi's and Aussies... This linky thing is for Monday. But our Monday is before the U.S. Monday. Sometimes by a long time! Do you wait until it's late on OUR Monday or possibly even Tuesday before posting/ linking??? Not sure what to do so posting now and linking later.....
