enough already!

I have had it up to my head and beyond with ignorant people and with people who take their kids to kids places when they are sick!

For the last 4 weeks A has been battling on & off with colds. A runny nose constantly, at one point a dry cough and no appetite. AND NOW she is back on the mend only for her to have some sort of vomitting bug for most of the day!

It wouldnt be so bad but today was her day at day care and my day of sanity but that was not to be with her vomitting episides today! .. yucho!

She is still her usual happy hyper self and doesnt seem to care to much. Is eating anything that I give her (arrowroot biscuits, cream cheese sanger, sultanas, bits of left over silverside meat). I was soo looking forward to a sanity day but Murphy just isnt on my side at the moment so I should have known better than to get my hopes up!

On the bright side, she has a few new words now and is just happy to play and isnt at all clingy.

Onto a different topic .. when will people realise that cloth nappies are not like they were a gazillion years ago ??? .. other MCN users know what I mean by this. You dont need copius amounts of nappy-san, you dont need to soak them for a day before you wash and they are not hard work.

Just rinse (if needed) place in a bucket and when you have enough put a load of nappies into the wash machine. Get with it people!! .. and if one more person says to me 'ohh, you are such a good mum for using cloth - I couldnt do that' I think I may have to slap said person. Or if I hear 'ohh I am on tank water' It would be too hard .. think again people its really simple and uses no more water than a load of washing every few days and a fluch of a toilet! If it was hard work, I wouldnt do it I am too lazy for anything that involves more work that I need.

Has been a lovely few days here with the Spring Sun finally making an appearance. A and I have been spending time in the yard eating dirt (well okay she eats the dirt and I pretend not to notice as she puts handfulls of it in her mouth) and playing with the ball. I am trying to teach her to roll the ball to me but all she wants to do right now is just run away with it.
