mad mad mummy

There were first days all over the place today, in my family as well! My cousin’s little man started kindy today. Here are some photos of him and his llittle brother.

Well I’ve been offline for a few days now, I had some wisdom teeth out and that has knocked me around a bit - something which I honestly didn’t expect!

Mumspace private beta is going along swimmingly. We have a great group of private beta testers who have been picking up bugs and giving us some great feedback.

Not long now and we will be opening it up - can’t wait!

Well photos in posts have arrived at mumspace at long last! Glad to say that our beta testing is going really well and mumspaces are starting to roll out quickly!

In the meantime, here is my little angel, Charley, and what a little angel she is!!

I’ve just signed up to another great parents network, Minti. The network has heaps of features including searching for advice, rating advice, asking parenting questions, making friends with other members and I’m sure heaps more that I am yet to discover.

Another of the features that I trying to set up on there is the ability to have my mumspace (my blog) over there on my profile update by RSS feed, so that whenever ...

I have done the worst thing. I told my friend that I would definately be at her daughter’s second birthday party.

And I wasn’t there. I mixed the days up. I RSVP’d yes, and I just didn’t turn up. I feel terrible.

I think it’s bad enought to RSVP at a party and not show up, but for a two-year-old’s, I really fell like a bit of a dog.

It was ...

Just a quick note before I hit the sack - gearing up for a 16-hour pub shift tomorrow, public holiday rates plus so busy that the tips will be through the roof - we have private beta testers testing out mumspace.net!

Hopefully our testers are really putting us through our paces making sure that everything works, and if all goes well, we will be launching early next week. Very very excitement!

Hope to see ...

when your little girl gives you a great big cuddle that’s so full of warmth it makes you melt.

Straight up I tell a lie - it’s not hour, it’s hours. In my house, and in a couple of other houses I know of, feral hour falls between about 5 in the afternoon and 7 at night.

It is at this time when kids are starting to get tired and you are getting tired and you’re trying to make dinner and the kids are hungry and fighting and you’re waiting for whoever is taking ...

Last night I was just starting to appreciate the silence eminating from Charley’s room, so I thought that I would go in and check on her to make sure she was actually sleeping and not just doing something incrediably naughty.

Ah she was sleeping. And had taken her nappy off. And had peed all over the bed. And this is not the first time the nappy removal has occured.

Now when I have related this story to ...

Being a mother means that my life is so full - full of laughter, full of joy, full of fear and challenges and everything that makes life worth living. But there is one area of my life that is becoming empty. It is the space in the bottom of my closet.

My life lacks - shoes.

I have been slowly coming to realise this as for some reason over the past couple of weeks I have had ...
