Because enquiring minds want to know

where I have been. I have been gping crazy lol that's where I have been. So I think I dropped off the map just a little before Christmas right? Well what happened was, DD started getting sick AGAIN (Damn you cold and Flu season) and she needed basically round the clock care plus two trips to the ER. Then there was Christmas with the inlaws (essentially awesome but a tad crazy making the height of the crazieness was when DD locked herself in her bedroom and I had to try and talk a 2 and a half year old through unlocking the door because it was going to take 7 hours for a locksmith to get there (it being Christmas morning and all) while simultaneously trying to convince my father in law that no it wasn't going to be as easy as it looks on tv to knock down the door, and even if it was it's a 13 foot tall steel reinforced solid wood door that would probably crush my 35lbs daughter.)

Then we came back from holidays, and my friend had her baby, the power went out for two days, came back on again only to go out again a couple of days later. The weather was so bad DH couldn't come home and spent 3 days in a hotel at his work, then we went back to visit the in-laws twice. Then we found out that DD will be having surgery around her 3rd birthday to get her tonsils out and I can't wait as the last time she was so sick that I basically was DS's mom only as long as it takes to feed him (he's a lightning nurser too. Both sides done in usually about 15 mins. The kid is 17lbs so I am guessing he's getting enough lol) which is around about when DS's started screaming whenever I left the room.

What else? Hmmm started weight watchers and lost 15lbs so far, only about a million more to go. And I am trying to get the house ready to sell but haven't actually been able to do much because of DS's inability to go two inches from mom without screaming. So my days are spent trying to do everything one handed and if by some miracle both kids happen to be sleeping at the same time I have been reading/cooking/taking a bath/participating in my new obsession, eating skinny cow icecream sandwiches while plaing tiger woods golf with DH on the x-box.

So that's where I have been.

Oh and I did get sucked in a time vortex of a book that is funny enough about time travel that made my family hate me and my house fall apart around my ears lol. If you get the chance read Stephen King's new book about the JFK assasination. Very good.
