School Holidays are over.
School Holidays are tough most of the time in this household because husband is either working or sleeping depending on the shift he has, but these holidays just passed were doubly bad due to the fact that I was sick. I could barely stay awake and was really really sick. But husband had to work and I had to care for the kids. I couldn't take them anywhere because I didn't want to infect other people.
It was a LONG drawn out two weeks the kids had cabin fever I just had a fever and husband was working. I had all sort of plans for these holidays but they just never came to pass because I was to sick. But now that school is back and the last few days was nothing but FIGHTS. I am sort of like this
PARTY I get a break and can relax for a while.
Next Holidays we are heading south to visit family and friends.

The Difficult boy
I love child 2 with all my heart but he is by most my most difficult child. From the time he was born he has been a handful a chucky baby at best(he had pyloric stenosis http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001965/ ), That fixed but he was still chucky and when he was 8 months old we found out he was actually allergic to milk proteins and I was actually making him sick by breast feeding him. Specialist formula and no more chucking he was walking at 9 and a half months and running soon after and has never seemed to stop. He was a major runner(he would run everywhere) and could get naked, climb a fence(3 feet) and be running down the street in seconds flat from about 18 months old. It wasn't unusual for it to be seen me running after him and him streaking down the street.
His other favourite pass time was pulling things apart to see how the worked, we lost Radio's, DVD players, alarm clocks and the list goes on and on and on. Or he was climbing things he should be and breaking a TV which almost crushed him. He is a boy of many trials but some many more great delights. He is so loving and snuggle with his mum, He loves his friends fiercely and is so loyal. He will be nasty to his sisters but won't allow others to do so.
But there is this total other side to him which is the violent child. We had him assessed and he isn't on the spectrum he is just a high spirited child. The child he was becoming wasn't the child I wanted to raise he was out of control but we got help and finally things are starting to settle down. We did get him and us professional help and they were great and we have now also gotten him into Martial Arts which is helping his self esteem and his self control, there are still many moments where he can get out of control but they are shorter and not as explosive as they use to be but the more calm and rational child is more there as well.
While he is my most difficult child he is also the most loving, sweet and giving boy as well. And I love him with all my heart.

Damn Flu
First day of school holidays and I have come down with the flu. I have never felt this sick my bones get cold, I am snuffed up and I am hacking up stuff I can't describe. I alternate between hot and cold and sweaty and I am either so tired I can barely stay awake or wide awake and my head hurts like hell.
I am hoping the kids don't get it because that is the last thing I need a house full of very sick kids and no anti biotics will help. Plus husband is working as he doesn't have any leave left due to taking it off when he was sick. I hope I get better soon I can't stand being sick and in charge of 3 kids who's idea of fun is to fight 24/7.

Spelling
What the hell has happened to spelling?
It has gone to crap and apparently not that much of a skill any more. I will admit I am not a fantastic speller but I get by, my grammar sucks but I do ok with spelling.
For the past few months I have had to stop myself from correcting people's spelling mistakes on facebook, it's hard because sometimes the posts are extremely hard to read. I have done it before and been thanked, I have done it to friends and family. But the thing that is really pissing me off these days is TEXT TALK.
Is it really that hard to spell the damn words that you have to add numbers to make up for the shortfall?
Is before really that hard that it needs b4?
How about later? l8er
Way to go? w2g
Come on people we speak English not bingo. And we wonder why spelling is going to hell it's because no one cares any more, Books with spelling mistakes BOOKS that are edited and re edited, newspapers, billboards. Really people it's not that hard and if you aren't sure ASK SOME ONE.
