I have 2 weeks of yippeee we orriginally decided that we would go away but MIL is coming to visit at the end of the month for Lbil’s wedding so the boy mooved his hols to then so he could spend time with her
so this fortnight is going to be my 15 min fortnight following flylady’s principal of I can do anything for just 15 mins so I have my handy clip on timer which beeps at me every 15 mins so if i have become distracted I can either start again with what i was doing or start on another thing for 15 mins i think that the idea anyway

the 15 minute fortnight
this is love….. and its going straight to the hips
Ok so its a cheese Sausage /Kransky, apparently, according to the boy, in WA or at least in perth where he spent his teens they are avaliable in takeaway shops and delis, so far here we have found them at coles in the form of kransky with cheese added after the smoking in the deli which aren’t that good and in the form of you’ll love coles shrink wraped 2 packs but the best of all and first we found which got the boy acting like a 3yo is DON cheese kransky, the chese is added in the mix sometime before the asusage is smoked though I could be wrong about this but it tastes like it ….. they come in packs of 3 and today I am lucky enough to get one because he loves me hahahaha how soppy
now if you’ll excuse me as I munch on the last little bit I have to go lick the plate
decluttering again and shining the sink
here I am back to decluttering, I have so many thing I want to do but the table is always covered in stuff and there is never any room anywhere I;m on nightshif at the moment so I also have a lower than usual energy level
anyway no more complaining, the current lot of stuff on the table has been listed on ebay and now sits on the lounge of the sunroom waiting to sell the washing is folded I will shortly put it away on my way to get changed for work
I need to clean up affter miss’ dinner (spagetti and vegies all over the place) do the dishes and shine my sink oh and put away the clothes that I folded earlier gee i’d better get cracking
5 nights down 2 to go …. agruements 0 I must be dooing something right
Weaning
yet another hurdle to contend with …. I am so not doing this baby thing again we come from two very different worlds and our beliefs in child rearing differ greatly
the comment was made saturday morning “bout time we got her off the boob and start giving her bottles all the time” ,,,,YAH WHAT on what planet to they wean a 1+Y.O onto a bottle, most of the bottle fed kids miss’ age that I know are now pretty much completely off the bottle
apparently everyone hes known with kids has done that I do suspect these are the people who like his aunty beleive breastfeeding past 3/6months or in some cases 2weeks is disgusting and thats when and why they went to bottles not at 12 but at 6months and apprently give bottles of watered down juice, apparently I’m being high and mighty thinking a todler should only have juice in a cup of some description not a baby bottle and that bottles are only for milk (I have no problem with a toddler or young child having a bottle its no different to kids that are breastfed to 2 and beyond) and he wanted to give miss bottles of juice
I gently informed him I was hoping to phase out bottles altogether but at least get rid of this feeding to sleep with a bottle habbit especially since she no longer breastfeeds to sleep
apparently this mean no bottles or boobie cold turkey, I have no Idea how that came about but it is certainly not no boobie cold turkey but if they can get by without the bottle thats great by me
over the silly season
and I missed posting about miss’ birthday
but it is over at least for now no more you must do what we want you to do how selfish of you to want to do your own thing, it dosen’t matter that you have your own family you are turning your back on the rest of the family ….. just keep shovelling the guilt on people one day i’ll crack but its ok I’ll just keep towing your line
happy christmas gone big fancy birthday party gone and neither really happened I was hoping to hold a family event at a local park but the boy is not interested in helping me so it has gone by the wayside too late for it now and apparently I’m an ogre because I stopped his dad from seeing miss on her birthday and for christmas ….. tough FIL was at his GF’s house on christmas day he could have come visit in the morning but apparently his GFs dad was visiting there in the evening so he couldn’t go anywhere at all …… get real …….. miss’ birthday due to the lack of help from the boy was held ad a family friends house where it happened that they have a 3 day new years party I’m dissa pointed that he didn’t compromise with a party the following weekend but if I think about it too much I’ll just jump in the car and keep driving never to be seen again
he was whinging to his brother on the phone about how weak I am and my mum walks all over me and he has no say and I’m unreasonable ….. I sat on the floor and cried so much he tried to settle me but he just dosen’t get it I’ve had pressure from everyone to do everything other than what they want and on top of that I was on night shift for the week considering just not coming home as a solution to all of my problems even if miss hates me for the rest of her life
I did get a good view of the sydney fire works from the top of the water tower at work with 4 cleaners and a mate took me 3 attempts to get up there but I did eventually
