Malachi can wobble his tooth with his tongue, and it was really sore there for a couple of days and he wasn't eating much, but it seems to have fixed itself up, and he's back to normal again. I swear, there is no spare change about that kid! He is wirey, muscled, and not a sceric of fat anywhere!!
Hadassah has been acting up because I am not quite right yet, and she threw a chair at 'Dog House' (also known as ABC child care, but don't be fooled! This is a term of affection!) and had a row with the carer over I don't know what, but it was sorted out and there were no more upsets after that.
Phebe has gone off every drink except water and milk, and we had to buy her a special bottle (an excersize bottle with a straw built in and a way to seal it shut) to drink it out of because she coveted her brothers, and he didn't want to share! She is now learning to drink it without tipping it up.
Mortgage has gone up again, ARGH!! We are now paying nearly $800 a month, which has made money really tight, as we still have nothing but Centerlink to support us. Methinks we shall have to cut out swimming lessons, though it cuts me to the quick to do it, as they all love it so much, and we are also cutting out dancing for this year, as Hadassah is not dancing, she seems to curling up into a ball and not doing anything, so since she's not enjoying it its a waste of money.
We are looking into Basket Ball lessons for Malachi, but the chap who organises to under 10's is on holidays, so we have to wait for news on that front.
Michael is organising with our old neighbour, Cliff, to replace to barrier fence on that side,as we have specifilally saved some tax money for it. Michael got really anxious (to the point of tantrums, believe it or not), because Cliff wanted to do it with him,and have it done with in a certain time, and Michael felt pushed and intimidated (all in his head, especially as Cliff is about 90!), but they had a talk about it the other day, and Michael explained about his anxiety and depression, and it was all sorted out, though Michael is now very tired, and because of this, some what irritable.
The church is having its yearly garage sale today, and I kicked Michael out of the house to go and see if he could help, as we were getting on each others nerves and it was upsetting the children, and I haven't heard from him or seen him, so he must be fine. I won't go, because they are having a sausage sizzle, and I just can't cope with the smell of cooking sausages yet!!! I did go last night though, to see what was to be had and was given a pair of wooley slipper boots, some books, a clock, and some toys, so I can't complain about that!
Had to get my pregnant clothes out the other day, because very little of what I have was fitting!! I measure nearly 100 cm around the bo*bs and the belly, and all I can say is its highly inconvenient! AND I'm still moving slowly, because I've been too sick to do much, and put on 10 kilo's in the mean time, my muscles haven't had time to adapt yet. On the plus side, me arms and legs haven't gotten much bigger yet :)
We still don't know what we're doing to do about the car, yet, either. When this little one comes we won't fit in this one any more, and since the mortgage has gone up things have been . . . difficult . . . but I'm sure something'll turn up.
I can't seem to drink anything but water from the fridge with a squeeze of lime or lemon in it. Don't laugh! Its not funny! My taste buds have no business being so fussy!!
We want to go down to Golden Beach and visit my parents for a couple of nights in the tent these holidays (to avoid the neighbours) but this won't happen if it decides to rain! I reckon I can handle the trip there so long as I can have a rest before making the trip back again, and the beds in the tent are the blow up kind, and really comfortable. Fingers crossed we can work something out!
Finally got the lawns mowed too! Yipee! They were left too long, and are a we bit mucky still, but it'll grow back soon enough, and look like its old self. I like a nice looking lawn.
Hope every one is well and in high spirits and I hope you are comfortable and preferably drinking something hot while you read this!
I feel myself a wee bit more weepy this time round than I did with the others, but I simply put it down to the fact that I've been sick for longer than usual!
I feel guilty whenever I take it, because Michael is working so hard that I feel I really should get out there and throw my weight around if I possibly can.
I need to learn to respond to Michael, not react, but naturally this is a work in progress 
.
We are attempting to replace what we may have to take away, but nothing is certain yet!
I talked to Mum, and she said it'd be too windy for a tent, but they have some extra beds in the house, so we can still go. Right now we are looking at Tuesday arvo, but not sure yet . . .
