Hi All,

Amy is teething. Well i'm putting the screaming and the red cheeks down to teething. I haven't been able to put her down today because she just cries. She is actually sleeping at the moment so i have 2 hands back to type.

Nothing exciting is happening in this house at the moment, fingers crossed that Josh's runny nose doesn't turn into a full cold. Amy is so over due for her 6 month needles that we have to keep her healthy until she has them.

I finally wrote another article, well more a story so if you get a chance then please feel free to read it.

Better finish here and go and pick up Josh from childcare. Hope everyone is well.

I had a fantastic day on Sunday. Got woken up by Josh wishing me a Happy Birthday (He hasn't got the days worked out yet) I guess he thought because he was giving me a present it must have been my birthday. I had to laugh when he asked in his little 2yo  voice where the cake was. I got some books off the hubby and kids and a little sleep in. We went out for breakfast with my mum and sister and her family. It was really crap and i am still wondering if it was really scrambled eggs that i ate!! We finished our breakfast and left, when we were in the carpark my sister said that the last few times she has been there it has been crap so i was wondering why we went there at all... Next year we will just go to my mums for breakfast.

On Sunday night we went to the MIL's for dinner. It was great not to have to cook for the day..The kids were great the whole day. They are both very tired at the moment because it has been a big weekend and they have only been having little sleeps here and there. So tonight they were both asleep at 6.30 tonight so hopefully they will sleep all night.

Josh has been complaining today that his ear is sore again so i am hoping he doesn't have another ear infection. I will just have to see how he goes over the next few day.

Better finish here and think of going to bed. Goodnight all

I just wanted to thank everyone that has sent me e mails and visited my lounge for all the pictures for Mother's Day they have left. I wish everyone a fantastic Mother's Day tomorrow. I hope everyone gets spoilt!!!!!!

After sitting up way to late last night playing on minti, i didn't go to bed till 11:45. I finally fell asleep at about 12:15 then at 12:30 my darling son decided it was a really good idea to wake up screaming. I went in to settle him down and it just didn't work, he would settle for about 5 minutes then scream again. It was a really painful scream so i got him up to check him over, he can't really talk well and does have some trouble telling me what is wrong. So i did the usual checks and found nothing wrong so i asked him if anything hurt and he just kept screaming. I finally settled him with a bottle and thought that was it but he started again about 10 minutes later. So this kept going till about 4am when it finally occured to me that maybe i should try the panadol (not sure why i didn't think of it earlier). So i got up and got the panadol and Josh would not have a bar of it. He just wasn't going to take it. Finally at about 5am he decided to tell me that his ear hurt. So back on with the light and the poor things ear looked like it was on fire......

So first thing this morning i picked up the phone to call the doctors. (i now have it on speed dial) I couldn't get him in till 3:30 this afternoon. Poor Josh now has an ear infection and a throat infection (must have been all the screaming last night). SO he is on antibiotics again.

In the last 2 weeks i have had both the kids at the doctors twice each. I am considering pitching a tent outside the doctors just so i can get in first!! Hopefully this is the last of them getting sick for a while, my kids usually don't get sick that much but when they do, they do it well.

So after only having about 2 hours sleep last night i will be going to bed early tonight because i'm sure by about 1am i will be sharing a single bed with a 16kg  2 year old.

Good night my minti friends, i will check in tomorrow if i'm not sitting in the doctors waiting room. lol

Love Juzzy xoxox

I ended up having to take Amy back to the doctors on Thursday because she was no better, if anything she was worse. The doctor finally decided that she was sick enough for antibiotics. The poor little thing has a chest infection. It was so hard to watch her stuggle to breath when she was upset and crying. She is much better today, she still has a cough but the doctor said that it could last for a few weeks. At least she is smiling again which is good but i am so tired because i haven't been sleeping well. I never sleep well when the kids are sick.

Josh on the other hand has been perfect. He knows that Amy is sick so he has been doing everything i have asked of him, even going to the fridge to get Amy's medicine.... When she has been awake he will sit next to her rocker putting her dummy back in when it falls out.

Must go to bed now it is way past my bedtime. Hope everyone has a lovely night
