Tons of decorating lately and not a lot of play time with the kids, though I have institued short walks, with kids on bikes sometimes,at least 1/week when G comes home and Bike/skate rides on the harbour etc...
Anyways I had loads of extra paint from my mood painting in my Art and Relaxation classso I brought it home to use with the kids and having covered the floor with spare sheets thought this was the ideal time. I have already shortening this video once but let me now if you have any probs and I can break it into .
We had great fun with this though it wiped me out completely. I was thinking of making up a competion wish a signed "Ruth" or "David" piece as a prize, but I don't now if anyone would be interested so please let me know.

A tired day today. Yesterday was hard work with DS,2, plus went shopping for more plaster and things. Had 2 tantrums in 2 shops, both resulting in having to take DS,2, out to the car so I could pay up. Second time he was asleep in seconds bless him. Then met a friend at Jungle Jacks with her 2 and another for an hour of play, enjoyed by all. Followed this with the shop that I couldn't do early due to tantrums and home to a cooked dinner and Tai Chi. Keeled over again, sadly. I know I'm over doing it, but there is so much to be done, the pressure of it worse than the effort to do it right now.
Sore and tired this morning, but dragged myself into a shower (8:30) then tidied my room and forced myself to do some tai chi streching after 5 min relaxing on bed and praying. Very hard to force myself to lie there instead of jump into more work. Then it turns out that H didn't bring the new bags of plaster in from the car, as asked so instead I did some quiet painting today, varnishing the kids toy shelves and our old DVD/ hanging bookcase which is being moved to the kitchen. A good choice given how I feel. I played around with the time lapse video some more.
The state of these rooms down here was really gettin on my nerves over the last few days so again I tried to organize and tidy it, but this time got lucky and now its a nearly finished room and a nearly empty room that is being decorated. Sarah came over for dinner and company and bravely volunteered to hoover, though the place was bad wnough that I was having to sweep up first. Happy she also like Boggle so we very much enjoyed several games, included a memorable episode of the top coming off while I was shaking shooting dice everywhere. We got them together, I tried again and then took the top off only to find one missing. We spent ages looking for it, checking everyone twice at least before giving up to roll for the extra letter. Then I found the rascal hiding uner the instructions about 10 inches from the game. She's taking a part time career break so I'm eagerly awaiting more games.
Living room needs touch up and 3 patches filled and smoothed, but I have to wait for H to pull out the wires first. Dining room needs a load of filling and plastering as soon as I can face it and I bought the stuff to hae a go at skimming a cranny wall just to see if I can do it. Should be interesting and I'll try to do another video either way.

A rough weekend
Its 8:45 am, the kids and hubby are out to Grannys, school and work. I had breakfast, miso soup with brown rice noodles, and helped DD (dear daughter, my new safe code) get dressed, hair done, and be brave to ask H (Hubby) for toast, she was afraid to ask in case he said no (this is a new issue that I hope was just due to her being tired and hence a bit silly) And I very happy cuddled both of a dear children. I love cuddles.
My weekend? Sat. was very wierd, I was up at least have of the night do to the large, noisy and uncomfortable bubbles rolling every direction in my guts followed by some very unpleasant toilet time. I will spare you the details except to ask how is it possible to have constipation and diahoerra at the same time. I thought this was a new albeit wierd expression of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) All of the happening with DS climbing over me and both of them playing in the Bathroom so the H could sleep. We then tidied rooms, then did a Yoga DVD for 30 min with DS crawling all over and around us and DD trying her best to do it. She was great! then we got H up, did a Bible study together (except me in toilet saga again) then dressed and fed.
Next was painting Living room with ben and a rush to get dressed in party clothes (which i clevier set out earlier) when we discovered that the party was at 12 not half past.
Came back with very tired kids for went straight to quiet time for 2 hours while I rejoining the painters who had increased by another friend. I didnt paint but instead spent the entire time patching and smoothing walls, while forcing down a few crackers with pate. The kids woke up and got a movie and eventually the main painting was finished and work was wrapped up and friends went home. I wanted to continue plastering, but made a gentle meal of pumpkkin barley risotto using the pressure cooker and then folded completely and had to be put to bed.
This led to another uncomfortable un restful night, a dreadful morning and I stayed in bed all day ecept for sagas to the bathroom, with the addition of always fighting being sick to my stomach as well. I never actually hurled, but I think I wouldve felt better if I could have just gotten it out of my system. Amazingly I actually slept through the whole night and feel rested now and just sore for worn out gut muscles.
Ive spent the rest of the morning checking out christian blogs and doing some praying and am now off to get dressed and try to go downstairs. Here is the link of the blog thats had a great influence on me lately.
http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/DandelionSeeds/437683/
Later I will try to properly put the link on my blog. I am alredy doing the devotionally and hope to start blogging it soon. My main goals for myself are to continue to reestablish my connection with God and to discover His purpose for my life. I hope to rework my attitude and actions in my marriage and household as well through this.
God Bless!

Hmmm...
well, for the last hour I have been burning time web searching nonsense, from an interest in some history about mimi driver in Phantom of the Opera the to Tom Felton, just because I saw a very hunky pic of him in a margin. Mostly brain dead point and click as I was wasted in bed but not tired when I thought I should be useful and blog.
The trouble is that this has been a hellalous week and I am not ready to discuss the issue yet.
So, since my last blog... David was acting funning on Monday and during creche, while I was in my Art and Relaxation Class, he refused toast and bananas, his 2 favorite foods. He was then very clingy and hindsight sugests I should've guess with these 2 hints, but of course I didn't.
So I was squatting down next to him in the entrance area of Co-op asking him what was wrong when he vomited. Young children, and I believe this is an evolved survival trait, Projectile vomit. I lept backwards while getting sprayed then picked him up to take him to a staff member to say what to do, in terms of the mess so I could take him home ASAP. Then he did it again, spraying a larger area, while I tried to figure out where to point him, and they had to throw out 10 pies. Then a staff member comes up and tells me that "they aren't allowed to touch bodily fluids" so I had to clean up most of the mess and then she disappeared leaving me to deal with hyper Ruth running about, crying David and loads of people entering the store and me trying to warn them/direct them around the vomit. Eventually we got it mopped up and I turn around to see David, happy as could be, running around with Ruth, So I went shopping, covered in vomit.
Why? to buy myself some ice cream, b/c know I seriously needed it, and to buy a cooked chicken for an easy meal, as there was no way I was going to hassle over a meal now, as well as Arrowroot Biscuits (cookies) for David, the only things we let the kids ea until they stop throwing up.
Hmmm... who thinks I write too much. Please comment, I want not to waste this time or bore people into not reading. I need to learn to summerize better.
I started throwing up 3:00 am Wednesday morning, plastering inbetween and web camming with my parents the entire time. The last time I hurled all night in the US they sleep through it, so the time difference has it's bonuses.
The decorating goes well, though slower with me crashing so often, the kids are good and My connection to God and His peace is getting stronger and carrying me through.
