Quick Summary

Well time has flown since I last wrote. Couldn't possibly fit in all the stuff which has gone on!

I've been sick - head cold, and self-inflicted. (Kindy Mum's dinner was LOADS - too much - fun!! Lots of laughs. As was the Quiz Night - we came 2nd last! lol ).

David has been away, back and away again. He's now on a roster!!!!! Yay!!!! He left this morning and it was so cool to be able to say, goodbye & see you on *** date! :) I hope he settles in and enjoys the new rig he's on and that he's working with a good bunch of people as that makes all the difference. Although we have our stuggles with him working away, and it is a difficult thing to deal with, I'm very proud of his achievements. He's a great provider for our family, and he's done really well promotion-wise within his company. Getting out of the Navy was the best thing to have happened to him (well, after Me & the kids that is).

Sasha's been travelling along nicely. I guess I've been taking her a bit for granted lately, and should really concentrate on her good behaviour a bit more. She's still moody & fragile and sulky when things don't go her way, but she's really learning to cope better and keep a lid on things.

Nikita's been driving me completely mental. She's just so naughty. She won't do what she's told the first time, I've gotta yell at her to get her into action, which usually ends up happening after the 3rd or 4th or 5th request. I'm getting just so frustrated that I'm really considering taking her to get her hearing checked. I mean it seems strange that she could have hearing problems when she speaks so well, but just watching her at swimming the other day was so frustrating. Too busy thinking her own thoughts (or maybe she couldn't hear the teacher through all the grey noise??) to be able to listen to what she was being told. OMG I so could not have dealt with having a boy - I can see that now!!

Oh, and we learnt a big, and horrible, lesson last night. Leaving giving pessaries to the Medical Experts! It was traumatic to the poor patient, both parents and the freaked-out sibling. In the end we had to go back to the after-hours chemist and get some medicine that goes in the mouth & hope for the best. (Super Stinky result FINALLY tonight). Won't go into any more details than that. It was a nightmare.

On that lovely note, I'll head off to my scrapping table & *try* to finish my Harry Potter LO. :)
