tumbleweeds and dust

Oh hai internetz.

I’ve missed you awfully but life is busy and quite frankly boring.

We have a routine of boys fighting in the morning, boys fighting on the way to school, lovely silence for the six hours they are at school, then boys fighting and demanding food, boys fighting and refusing to have a bath, boys fighting and refusing to GO TO BED then exhausted Sass and Lex fall asleep on the sofa in front of the tv.

Rinse, repeat.

I’ve been struggling recently with writing about the boys. There are times when it’s dark and unhappy here, trauma is an asshole and it’s not my story to tell.
For now, when I feel the need to write the dark and twisty, there will be a password protected post. For those that would like the password and want to read my heartbreak, email me and I’ll be happy to include you.

Little Man and I jumped on a ‘heroplane’ and flew to ‘the winter’ (or Canberra as it is commonly known)

We had an awesome time hanging out with Poppy and Mother Louise.

The plane trip was exciting and not at all scary (apart from me flying for the first time with the flu and feeling like my brain was going to explode through my ears/nose/eyes ) and a case of suspected chicken pox for the Little Man that turned out to be a viral rash.

LM stole the hearts of many and we came home 10 days later with him firmly attached.
This is wonderful but at the same time terribly suffocating for me at the moment.
We seem to have reverted to NOT BEING ABLE TO DO ANYTHING WITHOUT SASS.
This includes brushing teeth, feeding himself, getting dressed, asking me to accompany him to the toilet and a cuddle every two seconds.
The cuddling I can do. The needing to accompany him to the bathroom I cannot. The tantrums before bed because he won’t see me for the next 12 hours I really struggle with…and I suspect the neighbours don’t think it’s awesome either.

For now, we have the school holidays to survive and then I suspect i’ll blink and it will be Christmas again.

Slow down.
I don’t have enough time with my boys.

Google Reader is about to go kaput and if you aren’t already stalking via a different means, I suggest you do so now!

I PROMISE THERE WILL BE MORE POSTING OF TEH SASS.
