Looong Weekends.

Was a long weekend. After a huge family brekky of .. mcd's .. we all helped my sister in law Sammies move on Saturday. Was .. tiring. heh. We were supposed to go out Saturday night. The Sammies and the Inksta had volunteered to look after the gurls, so the Lemming and I could go out to see a moofie, but I zonked. Was out for four hours give or take. We decided to do a raincheck heh.

So, yesterday I decided it was finally time to sit down and learn Tarot. I had printed out all the stuff the weekend before that I'd need. A tutorial, and some layouts n stuff. 100 or so pages. Saved me alot of money. It was fun. I ran through a few One Card Tarot readings as well as part of the tuturoial, and it was intrigueing to see some of the responses that came up were surprisingly accurate.

But, I decided last night, that I'd make a little bag out of some of the material I have here. So that I could store them. So I dug out the material, and the necessary items to make it. Only to realise that my sewing machine is actually kinda sorta buried under alot of junk atm.

Did this stop me from making my little bag? Nope. I just handsewed it. Yes. Hand sewed it. If the spelling is incorrect, deal with it. :)

After that, I also got some of my other fabric, a tartan fabric I'd bought, cause I Love tartan fabrics, and I'm gonna make me a skirt. My cards are now wrapped and deposited away inside their little bag. Complete with a draw string ribbon.

I will get a photo when I can borrow a camera to do so.

And then there's today. We decided a few weeks ago that we would reduce Jaelyn's days at daycare. It's just costing us too much otherwise. So we reduced them, as of this week, to Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays. So this of course meant that she was at home with me today. I expected her to throw a tanty when she saw her sister and her daddy leave this morning, but she was remarkably calm. Didn't even go near the front door.

Secretly, I'm still waiting for her to throw the tanty.

She's been pretty good. Of course, atm, she's refusing to have a nap, but this is the usual routine. I ask, she says no.

I finally did as I was nagged to do, and conned the Lemming into upgrading my MT. Hopefully this resolves some of my frustrations with losers who spam my comments.

I havn't yet gotten around to figuring out just what kind of new layout I want. I keep looking at it, and going no, that's too long a job, I'll do that another day. And another day arrives, and the cycle repeats. Funny how that happens.

And now, I'm off to try to get the rugrat to have a nap. I'm sure I will indeed fail. But it's worth a shot.

Laters.

Fun and exciting weekends !

Well .. it's been an .. Interesting weekend.

Friday night we had Inksta and Sammies over and we had some fish n chippies for dinner n stuff. Was good.

Saturday, after MUCH cleaning, we had some more visitors over. Pizza and games. That was fun too :) I like catching up with people.

Then Sunday rocked around. The day didn't start out good. Girls fighting. Jaelyn hurting her back on her cupboard. etc. About half way through the day we discovered that Jaelyn had gotten into some lollies. No, the entire BOWL of lollies is more accurate. Needless to say, she didn't keep those down long, and they made her quite ill.

Then I went with the Sammies to keep her company whilst she packed up her stuff to prepare to move next weekend.

On top of that, the poor tyke was having some drama's breathing etc. So we took her up to the ER, and 3 hours later, we got to bring her home, after some ventalin, and oxygen, and an xray. All of which she was fantastically good for.

The poor tyke has Bronchitis.

Much MUCH thanks go to Inksta and Sammies for looking after Piper, and getting us to the hospital.

But she's all good now. Still wheezy, but were keeping an eye on it.

I think that sums up the weekend pretty well.

This morning I had my Phone Interview for my Medical History with the hospital for my baby. Ignoring the fact that none of the details really changed at all since the LAST time I did it, when I was pregnant with Jaelyn.

But oh well. The lady was nice. So what if she doesn't know how to use a computer :)

And I've been very industrious. Sammies gave me a pack of Tarot cards. Something I've been wanting for a long long time now. So after she gave them to me, off I went, and looked online for as much information as I could. And printed it. And sorted it, and Foldered it. So that's what my task is for the next few days. Teach myself to read Tarot. Should be fun :)

And now, I'm going to finish my frozen coke, courtesy of my Funkay frozen Mug, Courtesy of the MIL, and then I'm gonna get dinner started.

Thank christ for already cooked, and frozen spaghetti sauce !

Scan complete !

So .. I had my scan yesterday. And you'll all be as happy as me to know that it is only one ! Thank goodness !

I have been told by the sonographer, that she can give me a 90% idea on the sex of the baby.

Am I going to tell you ? NO ;)

I'm going to keep it a surprise. Or atleast, attempt to :)

I just have to remember, when out shopping with family and friends, not to go towards any one color of any other. That might give it away a little.

So, now I'm going to go back to sitting at the door, waiting for my dinner to arrive, as I am absolutely ravenous.

Dreams & Appointments.

So, I had another weird dream last night. But never fear, I've got a notebook that I'm writing them all into.

People keep telling me that I should publish them in a book. Horror stories. Pah! :)

Who knows, maybe one day. :)

Well, tomorrow is the day I get to finally have my scan. It's felt like three weeks, not one since I booked the appointment. I'm not really scared it's going to be triplets like that dream I had. I'm fairly sure the doctor is going to tell me I have a healthy 18 week old baby growing, and that I'm just .. fat this time.

I do however, want to know the sex of the baby. Partially because it'd be a huge help for making sure I have clothing for the baby when it's born. But also partially because it's going to be fun withholding the sex of the baby from all of the family. Who knows, I could even be mean enough to withhold that information from the Lemming ? :)

Oh, who am I kidding? I'm going to be bursting to call him, as soon as I get out the door of the clinic! Or am I ? :)

What on earth will readers think ? Three entries in a week! Someone's going to keel over from shock, I just know it.

And on that note, I'm gonna go find something to do. I'm getting bored. And oddly enough, had enough of writing about myself.

Better not be true dream.

So I had this weird dream yesterday I thought I'd share.

Strangely enough this was just before my mother actually called me on the phone.

My mother travelled back through time to visit me, as I am now. Why you ask ? To tell me to get plenty of rest, and eat healthy.

Why ? Because apparently in the dreamworld, I went into labor early. It was touch and go for a while, but myself, and my triplets all survive in the end.

Yes, in the dream my mother travels back in time to tell me it's triplets. Did I wake up screaming and in a sweat? Almost. Does this mean I believe it's triplets? I bloody well hope not.

Am I even more anxious for my scan now ? You bet your arse I am.

Just thought I'd share.

18 weeks today !

As promised, an entry. It won't be as long an entry as I had originally intended, purely because I'm pretty tired and exhausted atm.

But an entry's, still en entry right? :)

So what's been happening ? Well, not a great deal of late. A few weeks ago we had a visit from Chantel for a few days, and that was fun!

I'm 18 weeks today. No, I don't yet know what sex the baby is, or even if it's more than one. Hopefully I find out all of that on Tuesday. Will I tell you all the sex of the baby? Probably not. :)

Piper's enjoying school, which is good. Here is a photo of her graduating Pre-School at her daycare last year.

And now, I'm off to find more sugary goodness to scoff. Later.
