How to look after my mother

How to look after my mother

Just in case I get hit by a tram on my way to the  letterbox I thought I had better leave directions for her care.

Check all Doctors appointments at least 3 times a week (they change)

Hair perms and cuts regularly (at most inconvenient time for you always)

If all else fails, she does like a plane ride, you pay though

The technical stuff

Twins report for June

Mum's cramps have gone

Specialist said nothing to worry about at this stage

Sharing the placenta is a bit more of a problem as one has more blood vessels than the other and is therefore larger. Not a new problem but one we hoped to avoid,

30 weeks is what is being aimed for at the moment, could mean a stay in hospital for Mum (who is trying to work out how much work she can do with just a lap top while bedridden!)

I love this pickie but her with 4 of them, hmmmm

We find out the sex on the 8th July (Happy Birthday to me????) Do I want to know, still haven't decided.

Of course Mum does because if they are boys she will never get a toilet seat left down EVER.

Looking for an automatic closing toilet lid for Mummy. Does she need it? If girls, no, 2 more boys YES,will it matter anyway, NAH , I think she will love it anyway.

House not built and no room for the babies still as Dad has his gym in the only spare room.

Pressure to complete a house in 15 weeks, OH YEAH!

Time Management and a Project manager?

No time for idle tools or minds now!

Thoughts for the day

Why isn't the number 11 pronounced onety-one?

If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea.....
does that mean that one out of five enjoys it?

If people from Poland are called Poles,

               then why aren't people from Holland 

 called Holes?

If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?

Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist, but a person who drives a racecar is not called a racist?

If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?   

If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked,
then doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed? 

Do Lipton Tea employees take 'coffee breaks?'

 

I  thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks, so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use. Toothpicks?

Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do, write to them?
Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps? That way we all get a good look.

Is it true that you never really learn to swear until you learn to drive?

If a cow laughed, would milk come out of her nose?

 Thank you Maxine, I have not heard from you for a while and now I have some thoughts to ponder

Eagerly awaiting your next email (when you get around to it.)

 

Mondayitis

Sorry i haven't been here for a while, I have been doing Blog Prompts over at another of my Blogs.

Unlock the block . 

I am working my way through a list and quite surprised at some outcomes, but hey, it is my brain that is prompting it so I shouldn't be too surprised.

No excuse, I know so I am here now to let you know I am still of this Earth, not among the noted who have traded fame for eternity, No Who's Who listing, no record book entries, no news coverage, still here and thankful for that.

I thoroughly enjoyed a BBQ with friends, and foes, where the cook had the temperament of a kitten, as usual for him, but today he had the appetite that included everything from Drop Bears to a Ford Territory, so no leftovers for the volunteers tomorrow. All in sunshine for a change here. No paradiddle of sprinkles giving way to serious drumming as has been the norm here lately!

Okay I have just re read that, Holy abecedarian!

I have become a philosophunculist! 

  Did I get a new dictionary or thesaurus and thought it appropriate to use as many big impressive words as possible? Is the 'big word' fairy holding my family hostage demanding that I use these words or else? 

I don't think so!

Bring on the Qwerty Fairy!

OKAY! 

A reality check was all that twas needed!

Now how to write a "little word" post, like I usually do,'This is not because I don't respect your smarts (intelligence = Big Word) but it means less typos by the law of averages.

I am here in Tanilba where the sun is finally shining after all our rain, Chelsea is still waddling around the place, today was a yuck day so am writing it off and starting again tomorrow.

Why yuck? Car battery flat, appointments missed, phone calls where you press this number for that and that number for this and I wanted the other that was not an option. Oh for human contact!

I was also informed that I had the same shoes on yesterday at the BBQ by someone who I don't know! How bad is that! I think I will get a giggle about it later, but not yet, still smarting and changing shoes!

Today was the day where everyone asked me "why". I don't have "Help Desk" written on my forehead (checked twice already).

Tomorrow is Ruby Tuesday

Gem of a day

Habitat and then Mum's for a couple of days

so will be waiting for tgif.

Take care and be good to those around you, and if you run into me please don't ask "why". just live with the mystery and leave me in pieces.

Thanks

Twins update

Girls or Boys remains the question

Just a short note to keep you up on their progress.

Mum was having cramps earlier in the week, but is at work (of course).

Specialist on Monday to check all out.

Twins are happy in their separate sacks at the moment. No problems with cords wrapping around each other  and they can kick each other, been seen doing that already, Bless their little booties!

BUT

they do share the one placenta.

This makes it a high risk pregnancy.

Blog Prompt

Okay so a Facebook friend started this off with the starting of a group called Blog Prompts

Got me Googling (of course) and decided I would do a blog post one the 3rd prompt.

Never been one to renege on a deal with myself (bit like dealing with the devil some days) so here goes:

You're a fly on the wall at your own funeral. What are people saying about you?

 Well supposing Mum isn't there with her fly swatter and wipes me out before I hear anything (she is a mean shot with that thing) I guess the first thing would be 

"Gee it's quiet"
