Besides your beautiful creations, you write so clearly and concisely that I can almost hear your girls giggling when you tell a story and post pics. Ms Pfffft obviously is a very angry, unhappy person to say such a nasty, mean thing to you. <br /><br />Even covered with child vomit, missing your husband, the dog trying to poison himself with your chocolate, <br />etc., you are sweet and very funny and obviously a wonderful mum! AND a dynamite blogger and talented seamstress!<br /><br />Mean people suck and it's their loss of a happy, fulfilled life.<br /><br />You're doing great, Ros.

Unfortunately it's unlikely he can come home for a visit but with Skype and FaceTime we are in pretty constant contact so that helps a lot.<br /><br />I was so worried about the dog eating so much chocolate I woke up and checked on him every few hours that night. I really thought we'd end up at the vet but he seems fine. He is such a little scavenger, he acts as if I never feed him! Naughty.<br /><br />Don't worry you are not alone in your gross baby poo stories. I could seriously write a series of blog posts about it. One entirely devoted to Lucy's escapades in the bath :( <br /><br />Singing out loud really makes me happy too. Lucy was a bit grumpy in the car today and Bohemian Rhapsody came on the radio so I pretty much re-enacted that scene from Wayne's World for her. She wasn't too impressed but I think some of the other passing motorists were amused :)<br /><br />Maybe I should try sitting in seats at a concert one time...I'm sure the day will come (and soon) that Anna wants to go to something. She can get general admission tickets and I'll sit up elsewhere. Could be a plan? Although not sure how much I'll enjoy her choice of singers / bands. You never know, she might surprise me!Roslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01589284767041828265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-83387282012818551732014-09-05T14:43:41.080+10:002014-09-05T14:43:41.080+10:00Activated charcoal?

The girls really enjoyed their weekend with their grandparents and I'm keen to encourage it, I know how much I enjoyed it when I was young.

It...Thankfully, it sounds like the worst is over. <br /><br />It'a a shame your husband will be away for so long (and the circumstances suck), but you will find that you get into a new routine, so much so that you will probably need to have a few weeks adjustment period when we gets home again. Is there any chance that you and the kids can go see him, or that he can come home for a visit? Several months is a long time.<br /><br />You probably already know that chocolate is poisonous to dogs, so it's very likely that the unusal pee is linked to the choclate binge. I would recommend baking soda, maybe with a few drops of vanilla essense added, but I see that you are already on top of that.<br /><br />I remember one night picking up my son because he was feeling sick. Of course he vomitted on me. Instead of holding him away from me (as would be my preference), I held him close so that any further vomit would go onto me and not spread to the floor or surroundings. Ahh, parenthood, hey? I have a couple of really gross and embarrassing baby poo stories, too, but I don't think the general public would appreciated reading them.<br /><br />I don't like large crowds, packed places, or having to be sociable for extended periods of time, so I would have been running off to my room, too. And aren't sing-aloud people great? I knew a girl at uni who would regularly sing to herself. She didn't have the best singing voice, but I loved hearing it. It made me happy.<br /><br />My sister saw the Chili Peppers, probably the same year you did, and I was so jealous because I didn't get to see Pearl Jam a couple of years later, when I was the same age that she was when she saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers :( It's OK, though, because Pearl Jam stayed together and I became an adult and got to make my own decisions, so I've seen them a couple of times since then :) Although my preference is for a seated concert.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-14712562935787816332014-09-05T09:44:21.294+10:002014-09-05T09:44:21.294+10:00We stayed in Singapore for two days for a stop-ove...We stayed in Singapore for two days for a stop-over between South Africa and Australia.

It's what they use when a wound is infected and smells really bad. It worked like a charm. Might be worth a try if the baking soda doesn't take the smell out. And as for Miss Snooty blogger, obviously we wouldn't want to be reading her blog. Whatever the subject, I wouldn't be interested in someone so full of herself. Yours, on the other hand, I love.Leanne Parsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944797294783593234noreply@blogger.com
