Wow, another month between posts!
I have really slacked off haven’t I! I am just trying to do too much lately. I just can’t fit everything I want to do in and it i so hard trying to find a balance. Lots has happened since my last post so I will try and see if I can remember it all…
I still have emails I need to respond to sitting in my inbox, I really must go back and find them and respond to them!
Kyan is such a sweet little boy, becoming quite helpful when he wants to be, although not at this very moment. At this very moment he is throwing a tantrum because he is ready to go out and it is not yet time to go. He has been bringing Dean some shoes so they can go. Oh yes, he has gotten quite good at the ole tanty throwing. He is also very good at yelling at the top of his lungs with his fists clenched when he doesn’t get his own way. His vocabulary is growing so quickly and he is learning new words every day. Words of the moment are loo loos (Blues Clues) and wi-als (Wiggles). It is a very good day when he only asks for Blues Clues 10 times. He LOVES that show and his constant asking to ‘watch loo loos’ is sending me batty! LOL Don ‘t get me wrong it is a great show, but of course I don’t want him watching it every day all day!
He has had a few illnesses this month, he was just over an ear infection and I got him checked out while I had Jasmine at the doctor and he now has tonsilitus. Jasmine has also had an ear infection, and she was just over it when a few nights ago she woke up with croup. It was the worst case she has ever had. She was weezing pretty badly. We gave her some Redipred and rang the hospital and they said we should probably take her in to get her checked out. Well Dean took her and they were there for 2hrs before he gave up and took her home. She had the steroids anyway so we just took her to the doc the next day who confirmed my diagnosis. LOL She has had her course of the Redipred and her breathing is good but her cough is getting worse so we are taking her to the doctors again this afternoon.
I wrote the above yesterday and have only just now had a chance to get back to it! Jasmine’s chest is clear so that is good. Apparently a lagging cough is common with croup so we have been advised to give her ventolin to help ease the coughing.
Jaz is a bit excited that we are going on the train on Friday. It is carnival of flowers week and every year they have a train trip to ’spring bluff’ and Jaz’s kindy is going on a trip. I am a bit excited because she has been dying to go on a train, so this should be a lot of fun since it is an old fashioned steam train. Will have to bring the camera me thinks! Luckily it is on Friday which is Kyan’s kindy day as you can’t bring siblings. Which reminds me, Kyan is currently attending Kindy once a week. We are trying to get him used to it in preparation for when I start working…
Yup, that’s right.. I am now looking at returning to work full time. I am going to miss the kids like crazy but the time has come. We just can’t afford for me to stay home any longer, as much as I desperately want to. So I have updated my resume (made it pretty!) and have started applying for jobs. This time round I am not going to take the first job that comes along as I have done in the past. I need to find a well paying job as it just isn’t worth it to have two kids in daycare otherwise. If I have to leave them in daycare, it has to be worth it…. Jaz will have to go to daycare with Kyan the days she isn’t at kindy. At least I have nearly 12 years experience in my field so in theory I should be able to get a decent paying job. I am kind of excited to be returning to the ‘real’ world but I have to admit, the prospect of being a full time working Mum is a little overwhelming. Not sure how I am going to fit it all in, but I will have to find a way to make it work. I keep seeing visions of myself leaving for work in a cereal stained suit…will be interesting!
