My freakin awesome day!

Hey! Guess what! 

I've made it almost a whole day without a migraine! I've had a small headache all day but all it has been is an annoyance really, compared to normal. It's 5pm now and I can only just feel it starting to get bad now. That is pretty freakin awesome!! :-D :-D 

If you have no idea why having a small headache all day and getting a migraine at 5pm is awesome, then go take a look at this post and this post and this post. It wont take you long to understand.

Seriously, what an awesome day!! I really had forgotten what it is like to spend a day not cringing from every sound and every bit of light. YAY!

I spent about an hour or so this morning working on a website for one of my current assessments, then while Logan took a nap on the sofa I, wait for it.. blasted the music (crazy right?!) and had a major clean up, pausing every now and then to dance my butt off (unfortunately not literally) with the kiddo's (in case you picked up on the whole Logan napping and me blasting the music and vacuuming thing, I thought I should add in here that I am, in fact, not a inconsiderate person as Logan is such a heavy sleeper that he didn't flinch once, in fact, he even sleeps through the smoke alarm - yeah, that's a worry), had lunch with the family and then we did some crafts together.

This is such an amazing change from every other day. Especially yesterday. Wednesday I went back to the eye specialist and had them tested again. The specialist has decided to change the lenses and so have sent my glasses away to have this done, meaning I'm not far off blind for the next 2-3 weeks.

Yesterday afternoon I was trying to work on my website and having so much trouble between the kids noise (a friends daughter was here for a small play - she is pretty well behaved when she is here, but for some reason, the second she walks through the door, or my kids spot her out the window, my kids just turn into ferrals. Seriously, they do. Loud, Naughty, Psycho Ferrals.), Logan being at work - so unable to help, my head fuzzy from my migraine and pain killers and my eyes fuzzy from lack of glasses. Plus, code is like, a different language, and because I am still learning, I am not yet fluent in it.

Imagine trying to study in a different language while drunk at a party. 

Yeah, that.

Anyway, with Zay being whingy because he is hungry and kicking the mouse every few minutes and then pretending it was an accident and starting fights with anyone that looks his way, and Bay not watching what he's doing and knocking the power cord out over and over and Izzy playing with her uncle (noisily I might add), I have completely lost where I was going with this. So I might have to leave it here for today. It must be time to get dinner organized so that the kids can head to bed.

Well I'm glad that I managed to find this chance to share with you my awesome day. A day like this - so very very few and far between - should not go un-noticed!

Thanks for being there my dear readers, because while I have tried to explain to you your worth, I'm sure that you still could not possibly understand.

Seriously Awesome Playdoh Discovery

If you haven't already tried this seriously awesome playdoh recipe, then you need to try it today.

I made this playdoh a few weeks ago now, and the kids love it, especially with the coloured rice in it! I shared this on my blog when I made it, but at the time I didn't realise just how amazing this recipe is. 

If any of you have ever used playdoh before either yourself as a child or with your own children/grandchildren/friends children etc (I'm sure you all have), then you will know that playdoh dries out, and it usually starts drying out pretty quickly. Not this playdoh! 

Bay was playing with the playdoh last night while I was cooking dinner, and because of the positioning of our table, it wasn't until I was sweeping this morning that I realised that he had dropped a few bits on the floor. I picked them up and was shocked to find that after 14 hours on the floor it still felt just as soft and perfect as it was when I first made it. Seriously! I've never come across a playdoh that does that, and I winged the recipe too! Go me ;-)

Give it a go, I promise you won't be disappointed!! To find the recipe just click the first link, and don't forget to check out the awesome coloured rice too.

Toddler Activities

Bay and I had such a busy day today. I'm now exhausted!! And he is finally sound asleep, along with his big brother and sister.

We started off the day with dropping Izzy and Zay at school, we then went shopping, had lunch together, cleaned up a bit and then got stuck into an arvo of fun activities. 

We made playdoh and spent a good half hour rolling it and cutting out shapes, we did some threading with straws, we played with pompoms and we got out our coloured rice and had a play with it and some plastic animals. Then after the older children got home we cleaned up their rooms and watched some Peppa Pig (a favorite in our house) and made some yummy spaghetti bolognese for dinner. Yummo! 

That's not to mention how exhausting toilet training is!


Last night I was up until 1am, I was completely lost in my new project and I didn't notice the time. I am currently making printables for folders to organize my life and finances and whatever else I can organize. Once I am done - and figure out how - I will upload them for you guys to print and use.

Ok well I think thats about all I have the energy for tonight. Make sure you check out my links, If you have little ones there might be some ideas for you to try out.


Yours in this crazy world of parenting,

Sami :-)
