Remember the spider that hid in a pair of trousers, bit me and then set up shop on the wall near the ceiling?  Myf named him Ringo (I love the influence I have on my kid) and loved saying hi to him and waitin for him to come out on his web.  Yesterday evening, we noticed he'd gone-and when I checked on the floor, I found his poor body, all curled ( Read more... )

And Myf has just come downstairs despite the fact that it's really late and the swimming should have knocked her out.

She asked me to 'check her nipples' as she thought she'd lost one.  I kid you not.

(She must have known I was feeling shit because who could not laugh at something like that?)

Claire came over yesterday-it was her 30th birthday!  We got her a cake and a little prezzie (one of which was a tiger eye crystal) but she accidentally left the silk bag holding the crystal here so today I used some copper wire to make a cage for it and made a necklace for her.  I'm going to cleanse it and charge it as well so when she comes up ( Read more... )

This past week I've been completely exhausted-even falling asleep on the sofa in the early ish evening!  I tire easily but this is ludicrous ( Read more... )

Dude, this chicken pox thing is like whoa!  Yesterday morning she only had a few on the chest and back-she now has them practically everywhere, back, chest, legs, feet, armpits, face, neck, ears, even her scalp has some!  And the first we noticed the other day have gotten some serious fluid in them-have told Myf they'll burst over the next week ( Read more... )

I'll say this for my kid, she doesn't do anything by halves!  First the wobbly tooth and now she has chicken pox....She's been out of sorts past few days, over sensitive, grumpy and tiring easily which I put down to her being back at school.  She showed me a few spots last night and I was like 'don't be silly, that's not chicken pox' but when I ( Read more... )

Got myself all worked the other day because I found a lump on my breast which turned out to be an infected cyst.  I made the stupid mistake of not getting it checked (which I smack people upside the head for) so all that fretting was for nothing ( Read more... )

 We've just been to the hospital for the long awaited appointment with the paediatrician for Myf.  It's been confirmed that yes, she definitely has the hyper flexibility thing that I do.  Her ankles are actually the one joint that aren't all that bad (but my idea of keeping her in decent boots is the best shoe for heer so yay me!) but she's way ( Read more... )

 HAHAHAHAHAHA OMG MY DAUGHTER'S AN ENORMOUS HIPPY ( Read more... )

Myf is back to school tomorrow-so yay for the early mornings ugh!  Her dad is being very reasonable atm, which of course makes me suspicious-the situation about Silver according to him is that he's not been able to see Nimue for a few weeks now and is seeking legal action.  I've told him that I'm concerned for Myf-she could lose her little sister ( Read more... )
