The Blogscar Goes To…
Posted on July 18th, 2008 by darnonymous.
Categories: Uncategorized.
I have been Blogcrastinating! I just couldn’t seem to be bothered to Blog over the last week & ½. We have all had colds & it is kicking my ass! Now I am just getting over my cold & it looks like I have Tonsillitis! Seriously, how the hell did I manage that?!!! Me sick I can deal with, but I am STRESSED that the little dude is gonna catch it from me. So far he’s only got the cold (I feel like I am jinxing it even typing it)!
So, over the past week & ½;
I’ve been Tagged by Jessy. I received this;
Rockin! The award is for blogs that you love and inspire you in many ways!
Once you’ve been tagged you then take the logo, post it on your blog and then nominate 7 blogs that you love, who are worthy of the award! Well, sadly I don’t even know that many Bloggers, but here are the award-worthy ones I do read & love;

Jessy - Tag back at ya! I am your truest Blog stalker ever! If there is a new post I am ON IT in seconds! Cutest pics of her new little baby, her life, & her (many times published!) scrapbooking layouts.
Candice - A funny & satirical writer who puts a nice spin on daily life with a 3 year old & now a brand new bub! Very cool girl (& also the creator of this site!) That’s 1 accomplished chick!
Mandy Skye - Another ‘mumspacer’ who Blogs cute stories & tips throughout her pregnancy. Looking forward to the new arrival any day now!
Siany - So I have actually only met this girl once or twice, she is a friend of a friend who wouldn’t even know I read her Blog! She will think I am a nutso Blog stalker! But her Blog is cool, full of pics, life stories, & scrapping. (It’s kinda wierd that you can now find someone’s Blog & know so much about a person’s life & barely know them in the real world! Cool, but a bit creepy at the same time!)
*You are supposed to provide a link to your chosen Blogs, but I am a bit of a computer dork & don’t know how to do that! So if you want to check out any of these Blogs I have added them in my sidebar under Blogroll.
But in the real world;
Last weekend we signed the lease on our new place, got the keys, & went to see it. We were more than a little disappointed. The place is SHABBY! It is old & grotty, especially the kitchen, but I can deal with that (I’ve lived in worse)! What I can’t deal with is the fact that they so obviously haven’t even cleaned the place! Seriously, is it my responsibility to be scrubbing food splatters off kitchen walls, scrubbing the stove/oven/kitchen benches, & scrubbing the mould out of the bathroom???!! I THINK NOT!
We decided that it was too big a job for us & paid a cleaner, even though it cost us more than a weeks rent! I am arguing with the agent that we should be reimbursed for it. So it has been a week of back & forth between our current place, our new place, & the agent. Putting it all in writing & photos, & meetings with the agent. PAIN IN THE ASS!
My poor little dude, he is such a good little guy, never a complaint from him though he gets carted back & forth all day long.
We were supposed to be moving today, but there was a miscommunication between Marty & his mate who is helping us out (& supplying the truck! Legend!), so now the big move is next weekend. I AM SO RELIEVED! I am struggling to pack let alone do the move! (Partly because I am tired, crabby, & a bit lazy really, but mostly because I am feeling like shite!)
I am really excited about the whole house of brand new stuff we are having delivered this week! (Looks like I will be packing up the toys & Wiggles Dvds & spending my days on a blanket on the floor of the empty apartment waiting for deliveries! I guess that’s better than the to-&-fro’ing we have been doing all week!) Last weekend we went on a bargain hunting spree at the factory outlet places we discovered when we were lounge shopping. It is definitely worth the trip! I think we have kitted out our whole place with brand new furniture & appliances for under $2 grand!
But this last month or so, I have been so caught up in the move that I haven’t really mentioned my little dude & his big achievements! He is now;
- Clapping
- Waving
- Flipping from his back or from sitting into crawling position
- Pulling himself up
- Saying ‘mum mum mum’ all day long
- & backwards shuffling around the whole room (he can’t quite seem to work out this whole going forwards thing!)
We also splashed out an insane amount of money to buy him an Exersaucer that the physio told us was a good idea for his leg strength development. (We did buy it with the store credit we had from Toys R Us though! (That is another whole story involving a baby rocker/glider chair that fell apart whilst we were sitting on it! Any mums reading this DO NOT buy the Babylove Rocker & Ottoman set!)

The little dude, loving his new toy!
And the big news is that my little dude will be the big NUMBER 1 on Tuesday (or 9 months corrected)! Crazy! (My folks are thrilled that we are here for another week, they were trying not to show it, but they were really upset that they were going to miss out on his 1st birthday. So it’s kinda nice we will still be here for that.)
It makes me kinda teary…
All grown up…
