Technically...

this was for yesterday. I got busy, and although I had mentally composed a post, I was already in bed so I decided to do it this morning. You get a two-fer today! So here's today's random funny: What is up with children and toilets?? Everywhere we go, Charlie has to check out the toilet. She tells me she needs to do wee or poop, even when she really only wants to check out the toilet. Do kids have a rating system? Does a wall flusher rate higher than a regular tank flusher? Does pink soap rate higher than foamy soap? I do know she's freaked out by the air hand dryers - refuses to use them. So really, what are your thoughts on this? I remember my family referring to my sister as "the bathroom inspector", so I'm pretty sure it's a common thing. But it's funny to watch, that's for sure. She has to ask all manner of questions, and inspect everything before we can go. Which is okay, unless it's a smelly toilet. Who wants to loiter in there?? It'...

Blessed- an accidental lesson from a 4yo aspiring tattooist

 Things have been challenging lately, and I am burned out. I spend a lot of time spaced out, but functional. My reasoning (and I'm not even suggesting that it's healthy, or even logical, but it's real for me) is that it's not happy, but happy can be taken away - and not sad is better than sad, so I maintain a neutral state for most of the day. It's a lot less effort I suppose - and when I'm already more tired than a toddler after a day at Disney, I'm looking for low effort.  But back to the 4yo tattooist... Sunday I was feeling pretty flat. It was a challenging week, with a lot of appointments, responsibilities, and hard emotional coregulation. So I was on the fence about going to church, until it was looking like there wouldn't be a lot of people to help with cleaning up and serving snacks after the service. Now I wasn't feeling guilty, or obligated. It was more like I could feel someone standing next to me, saying "SEE?? You are a valuable mem...

Best Laid Plans

So I set up those tabs, one for a page about my family, one about my cooking adventures, and one about my faith - not realising that they aren't regular pages which can be added to. So it looks like unless I'm an HTML genius, which I am NOT, I'll just have to make those pages an ongoing list of links to the main page, where you'll find posts on said topics. Confused? Good. Moving on then. The visit with our family was fab, naturally - it became an inpromptu Grand Final footy party, with all the requisite finger foods, noise, laughter, and chaos. Our girls aren't used to staying up so late, and it was indeed a very late night for them, from which they are still recovering (read: tired and cranky). I think we've cracked the mystery of why they won't go to bed at night. Truth be told, it wasn't that hard to figure out. They're ready to drop their daytime naps. C is a bit tougher to crack, as even when she's exhausted (like last night for example), s...
