Phew. So much to say, so hard not to bore anyone 🙂
Bad news first:
I didn’t make it through to the Final 2 of the Blog Awards.
The good news:
The amazing support I have had from people near and far (very far!) and the love that has poured into my mailbox. Thank you, thank you, thank you. That is better than any award. (ok, mostly) Thank you for stopping by and reading about our crazy little family!
I am now the (not so) proud owner of the lurgies the kids have, so I have cotton wool where my last brain cell was. I really should just be put out my misery.
My new friend, Insomnia, also visited last night, and just when I dozed off at about 02h00, Mignon came into the room: “piepie Mamma!” She was fast asleep, so I took off her night nappy, she did her thing, put another nappy on and off we went back to bed. Where I probably was awake for another hour. So today I was literally sick and tired, but am off to have an early night. I mean really, what is up with this Insomnia crap?? (It doesn’t help that I was up ’till all hours worrying about school fees, but that’s a whole other blog post)
I popped in at my Mom’s over the weekend and the 3 kids all ended up in her bed, watching Jungle Book (I left, M right):
And here are the girls, feeding each other cookies last night, terribly cute! (M left, I right)
May everyone have a fantastic short week!
we’re having a short week?
yippeee!!!
Sorry you did not make it, but I’m sure it feels awesome just having been up there!
sleep well tonight, OK.
xx
Sorry you didn’t make the top 2 but as I said to Tracy and Sanna, we know how fabulous you are and we still get to read all your great posts – that sounds like a win-win to me! How adorable are your children?! Gorgeous pics. Hope the lurgies leave you very soon and hope you’re having a good sleep while I’m keeping our friend insomnia occupied. BTW why don’t you use pull-ups for the night nappy that way you only have to use one per night per child.
Pity no one made top 2.
Pics of kiddies are adorable.
Have a lekka short week
Stress insomnia is often my companion. Not nice. Hope you feel better soon.
Hope you all get better soon! The pics are adorable 🙂
Shame man, I hope the lurgy goes away soon. And I think your insomnia could be stress related. Too much worrying! I’m a worrier too, so I spend endless hours lying awake worrying about cr@p.
As for not making it to the top 2 – the people that did make it must have gazillions of friends voting for them! I think the voting thing is a bit like Idols. Unfair. But at least we all still love you – no consolation, I know. 🙂
Love the pics of the kids – looking so adorable as always 🙂 We’re almost halfway through this week – YAY!
Hope you are feeling better soon. THere is nothing worse that trying to cope with the lurgies on little or no sleep. xx
Aw you poor thing! Stop the worrying and get some sleep. Hope you feel better soon. Loooove the pics of the kidlets!
It does feel awesome 🙂
Do you not sleep because it’s your body clock or plain insomnia or a litte of both?
Mwah, mwah, mwah 🙂
Much better today, thanks!
Much better, thanks Nusha 🙂
Thanks for loving me, mwha!
Thanks Shaz, much better today!
Thanks Shell!
I’m a worrywart so it’s plain old insomnia.
Dont worry bout the blog awards, am sure you’ll get it next time round for sure!! They seem to be getting round these darned lurgies, and are visiting at our place right now too….again…..ah what fun!
I also did not make it to the top 2, but there is another special gift I got…tell you tomorrow. Geez Tania, it was fun and great too, and as for me I was convinced that you would win!!
They LOVE their Gran’s bed. So do I, funny how you always feel safein your Mom’s bed, no matter how old you are!
Shame man, hope you at least manage to escape it!!
That’s so nice, thanks so much! Can’t wait to hear about your gift – hope it is what I think it is!
Do you take anything for it?
No, I can’t because I need to be able to wake if K needs me.
Ah, same here, I would have said I take homeopathic stuff to help, but clearly, I’m awake.
