MINI ME & High Fives!

OMG what a week that me and the mini me have had! Monday started as any normal Monday morning, waking at 6.30am to mini me yelling out to me, I don't need an alarm she is like clockwork, and I have even trained her to sleep in on Sundays - 8am is her limit *high five* So yeah we got up had breaking,changed mini me into her daycare clothes put her down to play and went off to get myself ready for work. I was dancing around the bathroom and noticed that I couldn't hear the constant gabble coming from the lounge room that I normally hear, so I turned the radio down and just as I did I heard this blood curdling scream! I ran out to see mini sitting in the laundry SWIMMING IN A POOL OF LAUNDRY LIQUID! How she got the safety latch off the cupboard is beyond me, how she got the lid off the bottle is beyond, and WHY SHE KEPT ON RUBBING IT IN HER EYES IS BEYOND ME!!! So I had to do quick emergency procedure - take off all her clothes, saturate her in water shoving her face under the tap, and of course as soon as she hit water she turned to a slippery bubbly mess! Took about 20 mins to get it all off with no remains, but I still had to attack the eyes with water as they were still red and clearly still irritating her as she was screaming and rubbing like crazy. So on the blower to the Nga to ask her what to do - use an eye dropper you dick! Of course so got the eye dropper, pinned mini me down with my knee, had one hand holding her eye open and the other hand ready with the dropper. Mini me is one strong lil sandwich and we had a big wrestle until she wore out and I had free reign to drop water in her eye balls! Oh the pain and hate that she was expressing to me! So after 20 minutes of that I wiped her down with a towel, fresh change of clothes and a bikkie and she was all smiles and constant gabbing again, not phased at all, I on the other hand had felt like I had run a marathon sooo stressful and had to keep checking on her eyes to make sure she hadn't gone blind! Both eyes are ok *high five*
Tuesday goes ok with only minor bumps and bruises the usual stuff that comes with mini me being a junior explorer. I did however notice that her cough still hadn't disappeared and has been hangin around for about 3 weeks and counting, and she had really stinky smelly breath! So off we trot to the doctors to see if its anything major - yes she has a nose infection which spread to her throat and chest - how was I to know she had a sore throat! So antibiotics shld do and she'll be right mate! *high five*
Wednesday pick her up from daycare and am told that she had running twos and a running nose - running I say more like a fucken avalanche! Am told that 2 other babies were sent home due to sickness - great I say thanks for that ya mofos! So Wednesday night mini me's temp starts soaring and got up to 39.5 degrees, this is friggin sweaty hot for a baby! I smashed the panadol down her every 4 hours and did the sponge baths to help her cool down. She eventually drifted off to sleep around 4am. I was soo wired from the stress of it all that there was NO WAY that I would be drifting off to slumber land. Mini me was asleep in my bed, and I didn't want to totally pass out and roll over and squash her. So I sat up until 7.30am reading The Prisoner of Azkaban checking that mini me was still breathing and not so hot every 5 minutes, I made sure I called work and daycare to let them know of my adventure with mini me, then when I could not keep my eyes open any longer I passed out...next thing I know I am awake and its 10.30am - OMG we just got through her first fever YAY *high five* us!
Thursday is a day of rest for both of us, mini me sleeps heaps, eats little and sneezes/coughs all over everything.
Friday she goes to stay with Nga while I go to work to make up for Thursday that I missed and she has a grand ole' time painting; swimming; playing with Zeb; dancing at the pool pump; gardening; pulling all the loo roll off the roll *high five*; pulling all the pots and pans out of the cupboards;  and general rubebehaving. I go to pick her up hear all about her day and have to go to shop to buy Nga throat stuff cause she is feeling under the weather (OH NO) Take her home and she refuses any food at all so have a bath, give her her meds and then get ready for bed...notice that she is burning hot AGAIN! OH NO another long night awaits me! Not too bad this time just needed the panadol every 4 hours and was ok to sleep in her own bed *high five*!
Saturday opened its arms and welcomed me into the day with another crazy mini me day! After breakie and a  play outside we came in to have a juice and some fruit I had to excuse myself to do human things and when I had finished and went to wash my hands I found mini me drinking the Mercurochrome!! Again how did safety clip fail??!! Have I fucked them in their stoopid asses?? Am I a stoopid ass and haven't put them on properly? But I tested them against my super strength and they worked! Is mini me stronger than me??!! So yeah drinking the Mercurochrome meant that her mouth was all red, her hands were all red and all the white tiles around her were red!  So yeah heaps of fun cleaning that up, and she was smiling at me like a loon thinking that it was totally hilarious with her red teeth and face beaming! Then later that day when I was changing her two'd nappy I came across the word "kia-ora" *high five*- yes the word! She had eaten a mini magnet and it had come out the other end! CRACKED ME UP!! For those of you that don't know what Kia-Ora means, look it up LOL I had been wondering where all the mini magnets were going and now I have found one, have I missed the others or are they yet to come?!
Today, Sunday was a better day except I feel like I have been hit by a truck! Went through the whole day drugged to the hilt with pain killers and cold n flu tablets! I believe mini me has passed her sickness on to me, her Nga and quite possibly her aunty! I blame this all on that stoopid day care...do they really need to be in air con all the time? I know that they play outside in the mornings and arvies, but really how do you know that they actually are getting fresh air? I have put my trust in complete strangers to look after the wellbeing of my daughter and its pretty freaky, I feel bad probing them with concerning questions; do you sanitize toys; cushions; why is this baby here when he is clearly way too sick; but after all I am paying for a service and I  have the right to know, right? I only want the best! People have told me to get used to it that day care is the best place to catch anything that is going around and to be prepared to have many a day off work, then others have said nope apart from the snotty nose or little cough hadn't really had a problem. I am going to try and see as a way for her to build her own immune system, it will do her good I keep thinking, but I really don't want her to go through it again it was terrible and still is terrible, the cough is painful I can tell! But I guess its all part of single parenting and I need the money that having this job gives me, and its such a good job (so far)
So here's hoping that this week will be just as crazy to make it go just as fast, but without all the illness! Oh and on top of all this I lost all my files on my ext HD - no foates, no tv, no movies, no games, no documents! *high five* to me for not reading a formatting manual!

Junior Chefs

Ok so where do these little fuckers come from?? I mean really, they are amazing and they make me feel totally hopeless. I mean really whipping up pies in like 45min and them tasting like awesome, chef quality food! WTF
So do these kids just like hang out at home and cook all the time? Do they have friends or are they like genius's and immerse themselves in their talent 24/7. I am also curious to know what their parents are like. I am guessing that they wouldn't be like those american cheerleader mums, are there cooking comps? Or do you reckon they commission their kids to cook at their dinner parties LMAO Could you imagine that it would be soo awesome, you can pay in ice-cream, that the kids has made itself hahahaha
I am a bit worried about if the kid cooks a shit dish, I mean what are they going to do? Will they really say that it tasted like crap and it should have been better? Then the kid will have a mega spazzy on national TV and everyone will think that the presenter that said it was shit is an ass hole and his/her name will be put to shame, but they don't say its shit the kid will think that their cooking is awesome when it really isn't! Don't they say in the entertainment industry not to get into business with kids and animals? Well this show has killed itself before it has begun! And what are they going to do on the location cook team things that they play? Do the kids all stay in one apartment/house thing like the "real"version of this show??  I would love to see that hahahaha
All these crazy questions that I have about this stoopid show, I had to get it all out of my system. Phew feel heaps better!

Baby Proofing & The Hills

So my baby is nearly walking by herself and has used her standing skills to open up cupboards & drawers. I have been finding my make up in the toilet and the loo roll all unraveled and sprawled all over the floor. To combat the total disregard that my daughter has for our property I have tied all the drawers & cupboards together with string! Yes I am a single mum and can not afford to buy a forty dollar clip for all my cupboards! So now whenever I need to get into a cupboard or a drawer I have to untie the stoopid knot that I have skillfully tied - lets just say I could work on a yacht cause my knots are really hard to untie (is that a good thing on yachts?) Anyways so now that I have secured all the drawers and cupboards I have to deal with a cranky frustrated baby that stands at the cupboard pulling for dear life trying to get into whatever wonderland that she thinks lies behind the cupboard door. I have filmed this little frustrated dance/tantrum every time that is has happened (it has happened a lot) and I am planning on keeping them, for as long as technology will let me, and I will play them back to her when she is older to show her just how determined and dedicated she is to tasks! I think it will be really good for her self esteem! LMAO
I also have to keep the bathroom and toilet doors closed so that our bathroom products don't end up in the bottom of the loo. This is a hazard for me only at night when I forget that the loo door is closed and its dark and I walk straight into nearly knocking myself out! My swear jar makes a lot of money when this happens and I have not filmed this as I don't think it would help my daughters self esteem.
Due to my lack of a life, well no not really I do have a life, I am just sick of the music at the moment and the commy games are driving me mental! So I guess I am using The Hills like I do with music, have it playing in the back ground and only pay attention to when its worth it, which in this case is rarely! Anyways so because of this show that is playing ova and ova on my television I am finding myself wearing excessive eyeliner and I really really want to have super long hair! Which I know is fake, actually majority of these young ladies are fake - nails, hair, eye lashes, lips, tans, noses and even their silly little gammin "fights"seem fake. I guess what they say about hollywood is true "it changes people" And since I started watching from the beginning (Laguna Beach) and all the way through to The Hills all seasons, so in total that is 8 seasons, I don't even know how many episodes that is! I have noticed the changes that these "characters" have made, some are physical but most are in their attitude and outlook. What is really funny though is that they all talk about the "Hollywood Bubble"but yet they don't venture outside of the bubble or talk about anything that has relevance in the world, but I guess the show wasn't made to educate and excite, more I guess to entertain and make one envious. One thing I do have to say though is that I have been taking heaps of notes on places to eat in LA in hopes that one day I will get to go to these places cause the food that these people are eating looks amazing!  And they go to soo many places its totally crazy I dont think any of them know how to cook, but oh well I guess people like me need people like them so that I can be entertained (on some level).
Peace Out!
