Housework! Alert!
Published 27 September 2009I’m not very good at housework (yet another thing I blame on being an ACOA). I listen to friends and colleagues talk about their housework antics and I’m always left feeling incapable of even trying to keep up with them.
I often leave the washing up for “tomorrow”. I did that last night, for instance.
Hello, cockroaches!
Anyways, I’ve been feeling motivated lately and I’ve been doing a bit of spring cleaning as well as being a bit more “regular” housework. The dust storms of this week has heightened the need for… cleanliness.
So today I’ve been frantically working to clear out junk (and donating it to the CPS Op-Shop) and sweeping, vacuuming and mopping all the floors.
It’s a bit of a big deal.
Thankfully, our new security camera captures movement at the back of our place and snapped me MID-HOUSEWORK:
Now, if you excuse me, I need a lie-down…
Obama porn + where’s K-Rudd?
Published 26 September 2009Thanks to the girls who left me some loving on my previous, PMS-infused post.
Nice comments cheer me up :)
There’s nothing like a bit of Obama porn to help the process. Just found this video and love watching how Obama’s smile doesn’t change. But where’s K-Rudd? Isn’t he hanging out with Obama atm?

Published 23 September 2009I’ve been sitting here for the last half hour, trying to put what’s going on in my head onto the page.
It isn’t pretty (what’s in my head).
The topics include making decisions about:
- My mother
- Her alcoholism
- My wedding day.
It’s just too hard to put into tangible sentences without sounding like a sooky-lah-lah.
I also keep getting blog-fright because OHMYGOD someone else might read it.
Which is kinda the point, yeah?
My decisions on the those 3 topics are all linked; the butterfly effect that could make or break my brain.
And my brain hurts.
I think I need another session at Al-Anon.
Send cupcakes.

Australian Dad web site for Aussie Fathers
Published 15 September 2009Australian Dad is a relatively new blog on the scene, and I love its differentiation on all the mummy blogs out there.
It’s run by a bloke by the name of Tim, who’s going to become a dad for the first time next month.
I’ll let Tim explain why he started Australian Dad:
Now look, I understand that a large part of pregnancy books are about giving birth, and there’s a lot of really important information that mum needs to know… But these days, when dad is supposed to attend the birth, do the lamaze (or other) classes, and be able to comfortably discuss over dinner the subject of breach births, dolas and the best product to contain baby shit, don’t you think it’s time some of the information was aimed at daddy too?
Well I do.
Posts on the blog cover topics like supporting deaf children and the Cotton On babywear controversy.
The blog has only been live for a couple of months and I think there’s some great potential in Tim’s project.
Go check out Australian Dad!
