Now it is my turn!

Bah Humbug! Now I am sick!

Tara is SLOWLY on the mend. She's got a flu virus of some sort that has manifested in a very nasty way resulting in a measles-like rash all over her body. She's eaten a bit today and is drinking again, but she's sleeping it all off (with the help of some medication). She's been in agony (screaming owie over and over for 4 days) so we've helped her calm down a bit.

The corners of her mouth have split and are infected, but getting better. It's halted any persistent booby that she may have wanted 'cause she can't open her mouth to feed effectively. Poor poppet.

But she did sleep all night (great for her), but as I came down with tonsilitis, I never managed to sleep through. I repeat, bah-humbug.


In other circles, I am sending love and light to my sister.

So over it.

Miserable children that is.

More specifically - my miserable child. I want my smiling little beast back, but instead I have a child who is obviously not getting enough food into her system to last the day, and so meltdown begins around 12-2 pm and continues. she's been screaming at me for about an hour or so now and nothing works.

I am struggling with it to be honest.



A couple more RSVPs. a number of "With Regrets" but we have a couple of comings. I think I have 8 or 9 RSVPs out of the 27 now. There are basically 8 people who I don't know about yet - 6 being family.


Alice! Remember how I was telling you about mineral makeup. www.everydayminerals.com I have heard they are brilliant. Feel free to splurge on brushes and some foundations for me :) haha! I REALLY want the Kabuki brushes, the foundation brush and the Angled brush... I've heard their prices and products are better than any others on the market. Don't forget the trial packs and the promotional codes :)

I really need to do stuff for the wedding. really really. I really need a healthy child and some extra time to do it too... but that's not happening. argh.

I think I am cooking chicken for dinner. Though I doubt the girl will eat.

Ally not home until later.

I want to sleep. Crawl into a hole. All of the above.

Tomorrow is APEC day. We might go fishing!

A Post for Alice

Hello Alice!

here is the earrings that I was looking at for you - but the bottom crystal (the big one) would be a pearl... (http://www.rushcreations.com.au/c/25006/1/swarovski-colour-chart.html bottom picture, the blue pearl Night Blue)

And then a necklace on tigertail with the same drops as the earrings.

Crystals would be Light blues....

What are your thoughts?
