ouch
Ok so we are all meant to be out camping and generally being all down with earth and all that.
Which i might add is frucking wicked except i made one helluva mummy mistake today and because of said mistake there is no way in hell im gonna be sleeping on some uncomfy bed, even if the trailer has a shower and flushing toilet, did i mention the AIRCON?
Oh yeah that too cause i have to look purdy when i gets down with nature.
Major mummy mistake?
Seems when i was putting sunblock on the children i forgot to do myself.
Yeah im a fucking beetroot.
Dumb ass.
Moral of the story, sunblock is applied to them THEN TO YOU.
Photos to follow tomorrow....
Or maybe not, meh

God's trying to kill me
So late last night i get up from lazing on the internet avoiding housework folding washing and making my house pruddy when i turn of the jug and i swear that fucker upstairs is trying to give me a heart attack!
This little fucker goes running across my line of vision as i daydream (at night?) out the window waiting for the kettle to boil.
WTF!

Sickness
Little Philip is sick.
Little Philip doesn't *do* sick, for him the whole world stops, pain is something he has only known so its relative.
He complained that his throat was sore, what sucks however is he isn't vocal.
This means he can say a strange version of Hello and thats about it, everything else is just grunts and high pitched noises.
He doesn't have the verbal skills to be able to tell me what hurts, he doesn't have the sign skills to be able to tell me what hurts. Hes stuck in his own little hell.
I do however have a secret weapon,
Ooh she has a secret weapon you say?
Yep, my secret weapon is.........
Little Miss.
Little Philip and Little miss are tight, those two live for each other while they are in each others company.
Recently Little miss got pneumonia and she went from laying on a bed feeling sorry for herself, not having the energy to even cry to smiling, giggling and jumping around the second she saw him.
Guess what, it had the same effect on him.
Fingers crossed he improves soon, cause you know its not fun watching kids suffer.

My christmas dilemma.
Christmas is approaching and I'm not totally sure how I am going to work around the whole Santa thing just yet.
I'm not sure about my feelings about the whole Santa thing,
Confused yet?
A lot of people don't do Santa because they don't feel its right to lie to their children, to create a myth, a fairytale that will one day be ripped open when the children work out or are told that there is no Jolly Fat Man who comes down the chimney and leaves them presents.
personally I think thats taking it a bit too far, i don't remember exactly when i found out that Santa wasn't real but i know i never held a grudge against my parents for trying to create a bit of magic for me.
So heres my dilemma.
I want to create the feeling of joy/giving/happiness that Christmas brings without my children falling into the commercial side of Christmas where they feel they are being rewarded with gifts for being good throughout the year.
I don't want them to expect presents just because its Christmas.
But I want them to feel the joy of waking up Christmas morning running into the living room and opening presents, i want them to feel what it is to do something for someone else just cause thats the right thing to do, i want them to learn about giving.
Hmm.
More thinking on this one needed.
