Just letting you know I haven’t dropped off the face of the earth. I’ve been pretty busy and the last thing I’ve wanted to do is look at a computer when I get home from work.
My Perth trip is coming together. Flights are booked and I think paid for. I’ve organised childcare for the one day that I need. I need to organise accommodation now but think I’ll spend some time in Fremantle and the rest in Perth itself. I’m excited!
My aunt is down from northern New South Wales at the moment. We went out for dinner the other night and then she, mum and my sister came back to mine for drinks. Mum and my sister didn’t drink. My aunt waltzed around the lounge room dancing and singing and she got me singing too. She said I have a lovely voice!
My son is up and down with his moods. We had a good weekend but he’s back to hating me. Last night he riled me up so much it was really hard to control myself. Grrrrrrr!
Anyway, busy day today – gotta go.
Oh Jen – how exciting about the Perth trip – glad you got childcare sorted and you are able to be relaxed about it.
Nice to have a good time with family – and it certainly sounds like you did.
Have you journalled JJ’s moods? He could be affected by phases of the moon or certain weather or foods slightly (as can we all!)
Jeanie, it’s funny you mention the journal about JJ’s moods as I was just thinking about it. I used to document his ‘tanties’ but now he’s going through another difficult stage I need to start again. Last night we had soup before we had our main meal and that really through him and things deteriorated massively from there.
Yay for the Perth trip! 🙂
Hope you both have a fantastic time 🙂
((hugs)) for JJ.
Oh..what I would do for a few days away. Enjoy your time away.
I know what you mean about ‘moods’…living with my teenager at times it’s like walking on egg shells. At times I feel I almost have to apologise for breathing.
Foods (in particular white bread) including preservatives can really make a difference to moods.
Recently I saw a segment on Today Tonight & a school experimented for I think a week without any foods with preservatives. It was amazing the difference in their moods & concentration levels…even the children noticed it.
Gaida, We’re pretty careful with eating natural food and there’s not too much processed stuff around here but it’s definitely worth keepng an eye on. Thanks.
