Life between coffees.
I think Rae was muttering something along the lines of “I didn’t sign up to be the wife a plane spotter” as she left for work this morning. I have to admit when I heard myself saying “Ooooh, MU-565, a China East, haven’t got one of them before” I became a little alarmed myself.
Have to run – I think hear CA177 coming in…
How cool, Flickr have just announced you can now upload video clips of up to 90 seconds to your Flickr Pro account.
As soon as I read that I had to try it so I grabbed the camera, found Bert and two minutes later….
Kids, they cost the earth. Another night in emergency last night, another large bill and he’s spent the whole day hiding behind the mirror in our bedroom, curled up on a towel refusing to come out.
Yes, Thomas got himself in to a fight so it was a quick trip off to Lort Smith Animal Hospital to have the abscess looked at and treated. Poor boy is feeling sick and sorry today and hasn’t even bothered complaining about not being let out. We’ll keep him in for a couple of days until he’s feeling better before he’s allowed out during the day again.
Bloody kids, who’d ‘ave ’em.
I have a huge window next to my desk and today, when ignoring grumbling and/or sulky kids, it’s fantastic for plane spotting.
We occasionally get a plane flying over but today there’s a steady stream of them. I wonder if it has anything to do with changed approaches because of the 100kph+ winds we are experiencing. In the past few minutes I’ve watched CX105, QF437 and what could be QF2054 fly past on their way to MEL (and there goes JQ437).
It’s going to be a wild weather day.
I know it’s spelt bite, my only excuse is that I’m so bloody tired, or is that tyred, or….
I’ve been a bit busy the past couple of days so this is a bit late but happy 70th birthday mum.
We took the tribe up to Shepp for her birthday party on Sunday and had a great time. My sister Helen has just bought a new house and hosted the day. That girl sure knows how to host a party, well done Helly, it was a fantastic day with loads of family, I think mum will be smiling for days yet.
Of course there had to be a little drama. We spent an hour or so in the emergency department of the Goulburn Valley Base Hospital with Henry after he had a rather severe reaction to what we think was a bite bight. He’s perfectly fine now and we made it back for cake, which is the important thing.
I’d forgotten, I really had, just how hard this looking after kids thing is. From a job where I sit in a chair and type/click all day and the most arduous exercise I undertake is walking down to the corner to grab my morning latte I’m now in constant motion picking up after and following the trail of devastation left by three kids under three.
I do remember how tough these first few days are but I’m looking forward to next week already. Phee will be back at school and I should be in something of a rhythm and hopefully have things under control. I’m also learning from last time with Bert and this time I’m not going to hide at home until the last few weeks. Weather permitting we will be out and about, reminds me I have to look up story time at the local library. It’s the one thing I regret about the time I spent with Bert – I was too scared for too long to go out in public. It’s funny, I’m probably going to stand out more this time but I’m determined not to be a stay-in-the-home stay-at-home dad.
