MT - we did manage to pick up the car, but the timing ended up being so tight we just had to scoot out of Melbourne and head north(ish) - We will be back, with a more relaxed schedule!
The flight out of Sydney on Friday got caught up in the thunderstorms, so it eventually left 3 hours late, which meant that we didn't get settled into our hotel until gone 2am. We had a slow start to the day, did a little shopping, had some breakfast before picking up the car and heading out to the east - we spent the night on a farm stay in East Gippsland just north of a town called "Seldom Seen" then set off again on Sunday morning through Little River Gorge, over McKillop's bridge towards Bonang where we picked up the tarmac roads again towards Cooma and Canberra.
This made for a long weekend in the car, which Beth tolerated amazingly well - probably better than we did...still it's nice to be home now!
Gotta go get ready for work - hope you all have a good one!
Stick to you guns and persevere, we are all right behind you!
Where is that frypan??????????? You are not alone in being overwhelmed with mummy duties and house wife duties.... since shane started sleeping all night he is awake ALOT more during the day, i used to get a few good blocks of time to get things done- but now i am constantly entertaining or feeding him and i barely have time to scratch my arse let alone clean up. And yes like you i still have time for the computer coz i can do this one handed while feeding as i am doing right now- its a fair bit harder to do dishes with one hand!!! oh and you are lucky Shel only asks for 10 minutes.. DH asks for half an hourof him time to unwind (even though he is a good hours drive from work- thought that could count as a bit of unwind time) or he pulls the excuse that he is filthy dirty from work and cant even hold shane till he has had a shower. Mind you i do have it good when it comes to him understanding about house work not being done- he knows he has to help alot- or it simply just doesnt get done. Mind you on the weekends i often ask him to look after shane to do dishes etc and he usually comes back within a few minutes and says- i'll do those- you take him... and i take shane and the dishes dont get done for hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway- just wanted you to know your not alone and maybe you and shel need to negotiate your chore lists... i.e. hers isnt allowed to be empty while yours is full!!!
at the poo explosion!!! Great introdction to nappy changing!!!!!
on the successful car collection!!!
To anyone i missed!!! Hope everyone is enjoying the wet cool day!!!
