Thank God its friday!

This ones for my buddy Maria!!!! ;) Thanks for being there!

whats on my mind lately.. well..
Isn't it odd when you get advice from strangers? im sure they mean well.. I think their main mistakes are having to assume.. assume you dont know your babies different cries, assume youve never watched dr phil ('well is it working for yah?' sorry could help myself), assume you weren't bought up in a house full of kids.. anyways you get my point. As hubby says 'assumptions are the mother of all f**** ups!' That advice has been a Godsend, even with the profanity.. eeerrr. yeah.. 0.o

Im no angel ive said 'aww shes hungry' once to a friend of mine when her bub cried.. and then regretted it.. the kind reply i got from her was 'really? i just fed her!' oh! Oh no! i've just done it haven't i? Im grateful she was sweet about it.. had it been me.. i suppose i would have been dumbstruck or just quietly seethed until i could no longer hold it and have to vent! (her 3rd bub mind you!) oh, yes i say alot of dumb things..

I picked up cosmopolitan pregnancy magazine this week and i've loved it! They had advice on how to handle the situation with those other dumb things people say like 'my gawd your boobs are huge', 'my mother/wife/sister wasnt as big as you'.. and my favorite the beauty therapist doing a bikini line mentions 'youre a bit loose' LOL!!! Ah the odd things the pregnant woman goes thru.. there was tons of pretty expensive maternity clothes, underwear all modeled by pregnant women.. i've been disappointed with other pregnancy magazines, mum n bub mags, parenting mags but this one is a winner.. and yeah its not a cheapie! x.x So many good articles! ;)
Tia had time out today at childcare for a punching! After that she was more behaved than usual.. im glad its coming down.. im still not happy that she punched some poor kid! im wondering who she is hitting, is it over sharing? is it provoked? I'm still having to ask the workers how she went, when i'd rather (and ive done my share of working with kids) they would come to me and tell me how she went without asking..

Ive just informed hubby that im not cooking any meat!!!.. if i smell cooking meat i will head for the toilet.. for sure.. and im still winning! Tonights dinner was 2 minute noodles!! I have been getting my meat fixes from takeaway.. not good i know x.x

Enjoy your friday night & the weekend all!!!

feeling green

The all day nausea continues and no visit to chuck-up-ville as yet. thank goodness!
feeling good after food.. but now the nausea doesnt wait till im hungry (altho it makes it worse if i am).. ginger snap biscuits and crystalized ginger is helping tho! altho you can only eat so much ginger till your mouth burns! My smelling ability has gone off the scale!!! my gawd.. ive been re-heating food and the smell from that cooking is enough to make me turn green! i can smell the fish shop from 2 extra shop distances away than normal.. it ain't fresh. Even my perfume effects my nausea.. bleh! this cannot be happening!!!! (the perfume thing, lol)

The girls at the childcare centre have booked tia in for 2 days a week without me asking, i guess they were being nice.. but truly annoying as it is having to assume they have booked her in like this for the rest of the year! so i rang up today and canceled the one for tomorrow.

On my mind

I was having a good day, until i picked Tia up from childcare this afternoon. Because i had a little chat with the head supervisor/teacher about Miss Tia. *sigh* She slapped the other supervisor/childcare assistant in the face!!!!!! OMG!!!!!! She also got in other kids faces and screamed at them and was pretty aggressive oh and she often plays by herself in her own world. i was then told they had noticed she has hit kids a few times and one of their tutors sat in on their day/morning and asked if tia had autism! So then it was suggested i get her tested for autism, that she could be heaps autistic or a tiny bit autistic.. (it was nicely put)

i said id take her to the doctor and check up on the web to see more about autism.
Before this they only told me once that Tia 'had troubles keeping her hands to herself', i wish i had been informed of the other weeks, i do usually ask 'how tia went'.
i dont think it is autism. DH thinks she hears differently to what people say and gets upset.... or cant communicate in words enough and gets upset.

Her speech development is lacking, its hard for others to understand and she cant really say more than 2 sentences at a time unless it is a story, which it usually is. Tia talks alot about invisible monsters, princess sarah & goblin king (from the labyrinth, her fave movie) sarah (her invisible friend or when she decides that her name is sarah) she picks alot of things up from tv and even a few lines copied from her favourite dvds. Once she had a huge conversation with the lady down the road (who speaks not much english) and it was "sentence, gibberish, word, gibberish,word, gibberish" altho she knew very well whatever it was she was saying..

Tia does play in her own world, usually after she has scared the other kids by being so overwhelmed she has a kid to play with! Alot of the kids have been there awhile, aren't very sociable past their own siblings so, what is she to do? she plays at home by herself is that wrong?

and aggressive? yes, she has a real attitude, even hit me a few times. Tia never really had the tantrums, or the toddler biting thing, she didnt have much attitude when she was younger in her pram.. she argues a fair bit and will sometimes just for the sake of arguing! But now theres tantrums as soon as she doesnt get her way. (just not in the throw body down and cry toddler way! she stomps her feet, huffs, refuses to hold my hand, slams her door, cries, shouts at me... its like she is a teenager already! Not a 4 year old!!) a few people have told me that tia seems like a older child/women who occasionally has a toddler moment by saying something funny. e.g she was looking for her hat in her bag and she said 'Oh GOD, where is MY hat?' (as if praying)

she drew me a picture of me when i was talking to her of a sad face (pic to come) and even got me a few tissues, i was pretty upset. She is so very smart in some areas, her new latest thing to draw alot of is heart shapes!

thoughts

I've been busy lately, i normally use that term very lightly.. as in ive been busy... playing video games! or i've been busy shopping, cleaning and video games..
LOL! i dont envy busy people! But once in awhile i enjoy a day where i dont get to sit down and play video games or become a vegetable in front of a soapie.. (rare as that is)
Ive been busy shopping, then i've spent more time in the kitchen. (i fear this will be another bradly scatter-brain post) yesterday i made 4 batches of my fetta meatballs and put them in the freezer. I had to use up some ham i had in the fridge (as i bought more) so i made pizza pinwheels, 2 batches. One went into the oven, the other into the freezer! (as i heard a good tip was to freeze them beforehand, as i have trouble with it all just falling apart) The next day i took the pinwheel log out of the freezer and let it thaw for a bit til i could slice it up and the freezking trick worked a treat!!

I also can't get out of my head the best advice i heard for proving yeast. (needed in the pinwheel & my naan recipe) that the water used should be the same temperature of blood. It sounds gory to me now.. but fascinating and it does work ;) really well..
Today Tia went to her childcare/socializing session, i then continued to the shops, i walked past a cafe in the shopping mall (it usually smells like drool-worthy real butter on a warmed croissant) but today it smelled of bacon and reminded me that amongst all the tidying,organising of this morning i hadnt had breakfast.. so i avoided getting something healthy (as i would bawk at the price and get something cheap from maccas) and avoided deciding to get a roll at a bakery (as i knew i would end up telling myself that a cheese n bacon roll, pastry is healthy or end up with some yummy danish scroll!) so after getting sake, i was feeling dizzy.. (i dont usually miss breakfast) So i went and got the milk, decided on a breakfast bar of a nice kind (not a bowl of breakfast cereal compacted into a bar) one of those A.O ones? and a energy drink.. Mother, even tho i dont like it, it was cheaper than water, milk or juice.. and i thought i could do with a sugar hit.

Anyways got home (all fine and buzzed!) and now its time for operation laundry! 3 loads today! clothes, towels and bedding! (good thing my book is so interesting) I now have laundry hanging on my curtain rods and sheets hanging on wardrobe doors.. and duvet covers hanging over more curtain rods! As usual, it was lunch and right next door is the fish n chip shop! I could smell the burgers, i could smell the chips! argh! I decided i'd resist and just keep reading. Now i've eaten 4 pieces of lite peanut butter toast at home, but im trying to convince myself its better than 2bux of chips and a battered sausage (which i dont normally eat.. but the deep frying makes it taste better?!!!)

and my thoughts?

Well while on my childless walk to the shops.. 2 guys past me (at different places along the walk) and were friendly and said 'morning' or 'hi' it had me thinking.. i walk this way nearly all the time with Tia would they have been so friendly if she was with me? (does it really matter? i guess it does) without DH or Tia with me.. what do i look like? A university student? a worker on a day off? what do i look like when its just me, tia and the shopping trolley? are people judging me? (am i meant to care? do i care? should i care? why on earth do i care?) Ok, i probably look like a single mum, who cant afford a car.. (but then the buses around here are not the ones im used too.. its like they belong doing trips between cities or something! u wouldnt take a shopping trolley on them!) but then whats so wrong with being a single mum?
In this western society we are OK with divorce, so why arent we OK with single parents?, why do single parents feel so shunted and look down upon? and dont we live in a western society that believes that living with someone, not getting married and having kids is OK? yet if that relationship falls thru then they both can become single parents..

It just has me thinking..

We allow people to take their journeys, whatever it may be.. but then went they hit end of the tunnel, even tho we know a divorce with kids is going to lead to a blended family or a single parent family then people believe those kinds of people have some sort of shame? as if they failed? or something? and then that makes them beneath others who a) are married or b) are single??!! Or am i completely wrong? (i just agreed in my head with some sort of OK-ness with communism can u believe that?! lol)

Am i better than a single parent, just because im not?! Hell no.. but why does it bother me so? Is it because im being judged or feel like im being judged wrongly? or being shunted coz of someone judging me? *sigh* Is 25 still young? hell do i even look 25?! Theres this mum from the childcare centre, she admits to having greys and dying her hair.. and she is short! And she looks no older than a day past 15!! (but she must be close to her 30's!)

Well i had better run off and go collect Miss Tia (who will as usual not be happy about leaving)

I hope everyone has a great weekend! (and that u guys have had a great week!) apologies but no time to make my post all pretty and give it pictures ;)

whoops

I know i said previously that i didnt have my pocky boxes to show you.. but i had taken some pictures of my fridge as i had seen on Christines blog awhile back? And i saw that in a photo i took there were my boxes of pocky. (on top of the fridge) On my fridge i have my week 1 challenge goals and written a note to myself to keep me out of the fridge. Most of the fridge mess is on the side. (pizza vouchers, tax deduction reciepts, fuel dicount vouchers (which i send to mum) bowling info (not that we go bowling) etc
Maria gave me this awesome oriental fan & a pretty card ^^
This is a photo of the bitter dark chocolate truffles from patchi. We had them last night and they were very nice, bitter but very rich.. and surprisingly soft. I would definately get them again!!


On another note, Tia's childcare have made friday a whole day! So today she went from 9.30 to 2.30 (instead of 12.30) so that was great! And as usual Tia did not like the idea of leaving! (she had really missed it when they shut for the holidays!)

Having a mummy moment

Hmm lets start yesterday where it was mostly a mummy/mommy moment filled day.. (as in a dumb moment)

Decided i would go to the bank and deposit my birthday money a cheque from my grand parents! woohoo! only for the life of me, (and without the normal bank book u get, we didnt with this account) so i went in and said i needed to deposit it but didnt know how and so filled it out at the counter (holding up the line.. meh!) she said i didnt need my bsb and acc number and i could use my card if i just put in my pin... im like 'yeah about that, i lost the paper before i remembered what the number was' lucky i brought along my acc details! phew! then i had to go wait in a different line and they let me choose my pin, put it on my card and checked that it worked and hey presto now i can use my atm card for the first time! (can give back hubbys atm card!)

Tia was a absolute pain, oh i wish i didnt care how much people gave me looks.. wish i had more guts to discipline Tia in front of people! I spent so long going from shop to shop looking at makeup, since my anti-glob mascara has turned globby.. and Tia loved touching all the eyeshadows and powders and putting them on her cheeks.. it was a mess she called it 'beautiful' and i told her to look in the mirror and she taken aback the first time and agreed to take it off and then went back to putting more back on and then insisted that it was 'beautiful' *sigh* and then she was determined on not leaving until she had more 'beautiful' (eyeshadows... etc)
Considering i find it impossible to not make a decision quickly (unless impulse buying) i think i will pick a brand and stick to it.. looking at everything else, their specials, freebies etc.. frazzles me and gives Tia more time to get attached to playing with makeup and thus wanting to take it all home too. I usually HATE spending that much on something so trivial as makeup, but i thought id stop being such a tight arse and buy it in a act of faith (along with a eyeshadow in this funky pot) (buy one get 50% the 2nd)

back to mummy moments.. i had the birthday cards and a block of chocolate ready to send to my brothers & dad but i forgot the address so i brought it all home again! doh! And i couldnt find a happy fathers day card anywhere! damnit!

The house cage inspection lasted for a total of 2 minutes, i put so much time into making the house cage wonderful for the lady to poke her nose in and out again and she left with a promise of a plumber! (yeah i wont hold my breath) to fix the leaky tap and the forever dribbling toilet.. she left and i proceded to un-pack the place back to its former messy glory.

Glad everyone had fun with talk like a pirate day!! ^^

today, Tia went to childcare.. i secretly envied the mums holding the kids that dont want mum to go.. i just want Tia to miss me once, to bounce up and down when she sees me again.. instead of running away from me going to one play thing to the other.. LOL!

While Tia was at childcare i went and did the washing. I did a clothes and a towels (seperately) load of washing down at the laundrymat.. being a tight arse and not wanting to hog 3 washing machines (even tho the place was empty) i decided to try out the frangipani fab that Tina talked about.. only i had bad flash backs.. and yeah i got white powdery marks over most things the last time i used it, so today i used even less and got it even worse! argh! I dont get it, i think the machines down at the laundrymat really suck, they arent at all gentle! (i had forgotten my Nintendo DS, my T3 and my book so i was so bored!)Liquid clothes detergent-stuff is much forgiving, i usually use the sensitive skin amolin one.. I know i shouldn't overload the washing machiene but ah well... i came home and gave most of the clothes a wipe down with a damp sponge to remove the white/powdery marks.. maybe i should look at the scoop and see if theres a mark much lower on the scoop..

My abs are much better, i think im all healed up. doing the abs again yesterday relieved a ton of the pain.. which is good.. did butt n abs already again today. And ive been yawning since midday! Think i might have a early night.. boo hoo! Im getting old!

Did that cupcake catch your eye? It comes from this wonderful cupcake-maker-blogger that i lurk around on.. "Cupcake Bakeshop by Chockylit" Some good recipes and interesting cupcake stuff there! (free-plug there for the sake of stealing that lovely picture and having it on my blog)

No more push-ups please BILLY!

I mentioned yesterday that i tried the 10mins solutions toning dvd.. *ahem* hubby wasnt happy eating leftovers from last nights dinner (he also had it for his lunch that day) so he went out to get milk & maccas (for him) and that time i decided (since i hadnt put the coffee back in the middle of the room) i would try the Billy Blanks Boot Camp 2. (Is this the same me?) i was curious..
I attempted it, i think i did 30minutes of it.. and this is how it went..
hmm yes interesting warm up.. hang on billy i didnt warm up enough.. ok yes when u march or jog on the spot Billy im just going to catch my breath.. wait up Billy! I just went straight thru to boot camp 2 I skipped tae Bo & boot camp 2 im slow and kinda un-co.. Whoa Billy those lights must be hot as you are sweating ALOT.. but why isnt it showing on your clothes?! Ok billy yes i can try jumping jacks.. but push-ups?! thank you Billy i will try the super-girly push ups.. NO billy no more push-ups.. stop to watch in disbelief.. Billy?! did you not hear me! I SAID NO MORE PUSHUPS!(i dont care how different you try to make them they are still push-ups!) *turns it off* suppose id better try stretch and wind my muscles down again..
Phew!
So heres a vid of Billy banks in Japan i thought some of it was quite funny.. but if u have no idea (altho theres no push-ups)

and i love this one! Its a funny skit, but then Billy comes in.. lol..

Billy Blanks is huge in japan with over 1 million copies sold of one of his dvds.. i was reading on wikipedia.. his daughter is shellie (adopted thru marriage when she was 2yrs old) she is often right next to him everywhere he goes..

*sigh* so today i've blogged away an hour.. the muscles around my knees are quite stiff and painful im not sure how i can stretch them out as its just around my knees.. odd really. Tia is at childcare, hopefully that will go well! another hour and i will go pick her up, endure the 'i dont want to go home' all the way home..

Oh crap childcare,cushions n calamari

Well friday came, i was happy Tia was going to childcare, as she loves it.
I had her tidy her room, get dressed i did some cleaning.. i keep looking at the piece of paper checking the times and days for the childcare.. and my mind was screwed up (lets blame it on hubby being home for 2 days and so it felt like the weekend and friday was monday..) as it creeps up to the time i thought it was going start i looked at the same piece of paper again and realised i stuffed up and that we had better run now so Tia could play for 5-10minutes.. oh dear.. they have 2 half days and 1 full day and i got the times for the 2 half days mixed up.. i was happy to pay the full fee for the half day but the lovely chick said i just had to pay the 5bux penalty fee.. doh! and i booked tia in for both half days and then its the school holidays..

I felt so bad for making her tidy her room when she could/would have been playing with kids.. so then i decided to take Tia shopping.. and i got 3 cushion covers to go on the lounge... (1 embroided and 2 sequiened ones) and a ribbed hand towel for $10.50! Whoot!! Ah Better homes and gardens would be proud.. LOL! No i take that back, they would be stunned that i didnt spend $50-$100 on cushions.. meh!

Today being saturday, went out shopping and from the same place i got the cushion covers we got a new quilt cover! whoot! for $16.99 a nice big sale all sizes one price.. ^^ I like this sale! (have u noticed?)

I also attempted at cooking calamari... i bought calamari rings from the fish shop on friday.. (i looked at the full squid for $3.99 a kg but they were huge! and the eyes.. eeewww) so instead i bought pre-cut rings a handful for 3 bux. DH whipped up a eggwhite for me (i burnt my fingers)
and i dipped them in plain flour (not rice flour) and fried them up in a shallow (coz im cheap) veggie oil (which meant i had to turn them over) and the end result? hubby said im not to cook calamari for him again! (hey no argument there!) he didnt finish them, a bit chewy, too salty (hey that wasnt my fault i didnt add salt!) apparently the batter was great oh and Tia choked on one ring and spat it out then didnt touch the others on her plate.. Me? i took a bite.. and bite-tasted it to check the texture and flavour and spat it out too.. nah i cant digest that!
and then i set about exorcising the house from that odd smell..

time..

I think i was "officially busy" today.. i often dont get things done and when i say i was busy (not that its a huge thing) hubby doesnt get it.. true a lot of my days are where i am at home i do cleaning, cooking and the rest i have to get stuff done on the computer... but today i was offically 'busy' (except for right now where im blogging and ignoring some housework..) today i was rushing around getting Tia ready for her 1st day in childcare.. walked tia to her childcare *cried there* (how embarrassing.. and i cry more coz im super embarrassed argh!) walked to hubbys work and dropped off his cd wallet then walked back the other way for some shopping (money to cheer myself up) and i went to target and pick up $224.94 stuff FOR JUST $38.25!! I got 2 pairs of shoes, 2 tops and a matching suit jacket and suit skirt.. and ahem.. none of the clothes fit! So i really have to do this challenge!!!! i really needed new shoes, i wear them out very quickly with all my walking! so i shopped at both far ends of the shopping centre (got stuff for my pav birthday cake). Walked home, grabbed the dirty laundry walked to the laundrymat.. walked home, hanged up the clothes to dry then walked to childcare and picked tia up and later i will go out and walk to hubbys work and then walk home with him.


picked up tia from childcare, turns out the reason they only have kids older than 3 at the centre is because 1 child is deadly allergic to dairy, nuts and eggs and Tia kept getting up from her chair at snack time... (well we have never had a big enough place to have a dining room with tables and chairs) so because of that she isnt welcome to come back on thursdays til she can sit still with her food. bummer.. instead she will go tuesdays, i guess. but other than that and her problem hitting kids apparently.. oh dear! (something she has to learn i guess) they also said she was very polite and very funny and went to the toilet very well.. YAY!
Of course we were the last to leave and *oops just remembered i forgot to sign her out* tia did not want to leave..

now ive got a half hour to do some more cleaning til i go out again.

shopping

I got a really good night sleep apart from more strange dreams.. bleh.. but thats another post in itself if i can remember it all. 0.o Today after giving lil miss a shower and washing her hair (removing liquid candy) decided i would get her backpack ready for tomorrows childcare visit. But then of course Tia thought she was going to the park or to the childcare and she was happy to leave the house but only with the backpack. So i unloaded it and gave it to her and we got out the door!

Went around looking for shoes, i usually find some really nice almost new shoes at op shops.. but today no luck there was a pair that looked about her size (but she wasnt in the mood to try on shoes) hardly worn on the inside or at the heel but the buckle was somehow all broken so i decided on not getting them..

But it was also half price day at the op shop and i ended up coming home with that lot for $6.30. not bad.. i got dominoes, 2 bday cards with badges, beads, a tambourine, fairy wings, 2 dolls a paper lantern and a glass pyrex bowl and a untouched BH&G's pink lantern (only i got home and got it out of its packet and opened it up as i can't resist paper lanterns!)

Might go back out and have a look at the opshop out near hubbys work as i wanted to find some shoes that look good and that are easy enough for lil miss to put on/off, she has these silly Hi-5 runners/shoes from k-mart that are badly designed and are super tight still after 3 months... wondering if i should do that roald dahl thing where you but a bag of water inside the shoe and put it in the freezer.. but maybe that only works for leather shoes?! i need to basically weaken the elastic somehow...

Did some grocery shopping and walked home *yawn* oh and we had lunch.. i thought id be good and go halves on a ww muffin (they are half the size as normal muffins! and for 3.5pts for such a small thing i think i'd rather go halves in the real thing!) and as i waited i switched it to half a double choc muffin from muffin break and i waited and then decided screw this im going to maccas. Poor kid working at muffin break, 1 kid! And all the myer snobs getting their coffee and muffins..
so i ended up having a cheeseburger, 1/2 a crappy chocolate thickshake and 1/2 a crappy small choc sundae. the chocolate sundae was tasteless and the sundae, well their fudge heater wasnt working so the fudge was thick and messy and i worried about salmonella poisoning as i noticed they were using a normal maccas tray under the machine and it had lots of melted ice cream on it?! what the?!

i remembered the glace cherries today, so i hope to make some florentines b4 going to hubbys work and the op-shop.. *yawn* think tonight will be a early one!
hope you all had a great day!!!

I could so go a coffee right now! (pic of lil miss, with a hot chocolate ring on her face.. lol!!!)
ugh! I hope everyone had a great day today!

It must have been something in the air.. or cabin fever..

Tia has been a right royal pain in the bum. She usually behaves herself, but today she started out silly and it just got worse..

I was developing a headache, went to do laundry and Tia wanted to be silly.. as my load finished Tia announced she needed to go wee. So we hurried off home. (and got there in time)
I was craving hot chips badly and my head was lying to me saying "have the chips, you will feel much better!" so i ordered the chips and walked to the childcare centre got the forms for Tia to start on thursday, went back go the chips walked back the other way to the park (thinking that a bit of a play could do Tia some good) I go to leave and Tia is throwing her wordie tantrum.. pick up a 2lt milk and a loaf of sunblest bread (for $7.80!) continue home as im unlocking the door Tia announces that she needs to go wee... struggles in getting her lil shorties down and wets herself. So i put her in a bath, and then she cuts her finger on my razor (which is kinda hard to do, but yet she well and truly cut her lil finger) i need to pick up a shower caddy thingy-bob when i go shopping next..
its 4pm, tia is in her pj's with a snack and drink watching one of her strawberry shortcake dvds. And im still waiting for my painkillers to kick in! (but there is now peace here!)

last night i was posting on LITS and i remembered that i hadnt had any water all day (this is around 8-9pm) so i joked about drinking alot of water before bed.. and that waking up at night and walking to the loo would be considered as 'exercise' lol! Well in that case i got alot of exercise last night.. *yawn* ive been sleeping like crap the past 4 days, its been colder (but thats not possible? surely! its the start of spring)

so this is the other thing empty schnapps bottles are good for! Keeping the shower curtain in the bleach/hot water.

take care!

mission accomplished

Today is fast-food friday, ive decided that i will have 1 meal on 1 day of the week that will be whatever i want but not to go over the top and hopefully i will get better with just sticking to that. (no thats not my cheeseburger)

Tia is a bit odd today, clingy, quiet, not wanting to eat fast food or much at all, theres lollies right next to her that she hasn't even opened.. she musn't be feeling very well. =(

I got off my butt, ignored every anti-social bone in my body and went to the community centre and booked Tia in for her first childcare session (thats what its called) for next thursday. 9.30am til 2.30pm for under $20! need to remember her Immunization papers! (better write that down somewhere) and we get to go shopping for a lunch box and drink bottle! YAY!
i think im going to miss her more, then she will miss me!

i have to accept that shes growing up! i have to accept that she wants to play with kids and talk to other little kids, hopefully then she wont be making 'friends' out shopping and then being distraught in that i've finished looking at clothes and now i want to leave..

**update Tia left her afternoon teletubbies tv program to sit on her bed with her head between her knees. So i put her to bed, she was up til 10pm last night and she didnt sleep in this morning, so maybe thats it.. **

Im praying Tia doesnt have some sort of projectile vomit bug.. i hate cleaning up vomit! lol!
