It's raining. In summer. Wonders will never cease. People who are
still stubbornly insisting that they can live wasteful lifestyles
because it would happen anyway, well no help for them coz they're
delusional and are psychologically incapable of seeing any reality other
than the one they desperately cling to.
Anyway.
Today
marks my first day joining the ranks of stay at home mums with work out
of home partners. Josh got a job last week and is starting his first
day today. He was up at 6am getting ready as it started at 8:30am. I
was up at 7:30am thinking I'd get all my boards etc out of the way
before the kids woke up, but of course they woke up because I wasn't in
bed with them. No dramas, a couple of nappy changes later and Tao even
had some breakfast (about half an egg worth).
Tao is speaking
proper sentences now, even if most of the words are severely
mispronounced as happens with toddlers. Today he brought me Josh's cane
announcing "Looka I pound!" He cuts between using "I" and "Tao", coz
other times he's saying "Tao's turn" and alternately "I got it" or
"Tao's got it".
Ruan's commando crawling with alarming speed, not
sure how coz I would have thought her head would act as a brake. Well i
guess it's not as big as Tao's was at her age. She moves pretty quick
considering she doesn't actually lift her head until she's stopped.
Floor for her these days.
So far so good managing by myself and
it's nearly halfway through the day already. Tao's only cried once
today because I turfed him out of the laundry after he ignored me
telling him not to open the laundry cupboard which has stuff in there
little boys really should not be playing with.
Ru is currently
asleep in the room, Tao is watching The Wiggles Sailing Around the World
and remembering he was bugging me for boob.
The storm just got
worse which is to say the thunder and lightning are now directly over my
house and the rain is heavier. Hurray for rain! Hopefully it will fill
the dams up a little bit. I really need a rainwater tank, someone
(possibly firvulag)
told me you can get skinny rainwater tanks so tacking one of them to
the side of the house or next to the shed maybe would be awesome.
We
got a twin pram recently which is great as it makes it easier for me to
take the kids out by myself. Not today obviously, any thoughts I
entertained of going out today just got washed out. Which is fine,
there's a lot of house stuff to take care of and a lot of animation and
game work too so not like I'll be bored.
Damn that rain smells
good. Might have to open the houes up and let the smell in, I closed it
so things wouldn't get wet if the wind changed while feeding Tao.
There
goes the power. And it's back on again. And off again. Hopefully
fuse hasn't blown. Good thing I have a client coz my CRT monitor just
shut itself off. Ahh well. I'll wait for it to come back on and post.
I was pretty much done anyway.
I know I've been doing a pretty
poor job keeping up with everyone else, I don't pay a lot of attention
to livejournal coz I have about a million other things to do. So sorry
:)
ps- just got back from taking the kids out by myself. It went
well. We just went to get a mattress protector and salt and pepper and
some licorice for Josh (though Tao stole a piece). They both fell
asleep on the way back. Yay for twin prams!
Hehe I'm so not AP enough and I think only the people from the baby board are going to get that joke.
