Busy week

Well its been a busy week in the COOK house. We spent the week recovering from our trip to Sydney, planning for Bathurst and so much else.
I spent part of Tuesday in hospital as I was so sick - argh! (more on this later)
Wenesday evening Paulie went to a meeting for work, and Grum n Lynda n Chelsea came over for dinner and use the computer. It was great fun - Chels and Greggles had a bath - Chelsea got splash-splash-splashed as did Lynda and I !! argh!
Thursday night Paul was in Coona for work - I went to see my mum and dad and Greggie and I stayed there for dinner. YUMMY!!
Friday night Paul got home and we went out with Grum n Lynda n Chelsea to Chinese for dinner. It was yummy - Gregory was quite good for quite some time but by the time dinner was served he was starting to get a little stroppy! oh you goose :o) After dinner we went for a drive (Chelsea's car seat has been turned around this week - I'm not sure she quite understands whats happening just yet!! Grum n Lynda pulled up at home and both turned around to look at her and she had a look on her face to say "what so you think YOU'RE doing?" lol!!)
Today Paulie went and flew a kite while I caught up on some sleep - thanks for keeping me up again last night Greggie! :P~ We went and had lunch together before coming home to watch the Swan vs Eagles final..... still in progress *no comment* at this stage!!!
Not sure what else is planned but Paulie still has 2 days at home after today and then this week at work is short anyhow as Paul has Friday off coz the 1000 is on BATHURST!! Here we come :o)
Anyhow - must scoot and watch the result.... updates later

Home again home again & lessons learnt

Well we had a great trip to sydney! Gregory was a good boy and stuff - I'll tell more about it later :o) (prolly tomorrow.... and on Greggies bloggie :P)
but for now I just have to vent a little.
I've gotten home to realise that I need to adjust my perspectives of some people. Its hard when you think you know someone and trust them and its only when you've been hurt a second or third time you realise that its YOUR OWN character that really is at fault for trusting them in the first place. :o/. I'm feeling quite hurt and upset by what happened and I wish now I hadn't said anything in the first bloody place..... and yes... I said BLOODY!
*phew* now I feel better
night all!

INTERNATIONAL Speak like a pirate day

My pirate name is:

Mad Dog Rackham

Part crazy, part mangy, all rabid, you're the pirate all the others fear might just snap soon. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!

Still cough-cough-coughing

Hey all
Its busy but its not!! I wish there were more hours to sleep in ones day! I don't want to sleep more during the day but I could surely use more sleep at night-time!
Today Chelsea came over while Lynda worked... Gregory and her love to see each other. After Lynda left this morning Gregory was still in bed for a while. When I got Gregory from his room and they saw each other they both giggled, grinned and reached out for each other!! lol it was funny. By the time I got the camera Chelsea just wanted to look at the camera! lol. I'll add a pic of them here of them reaching for each others hands - they were doing this until I got the camera!!! grr!! (the photo thingy isnt working atm so I'll add it soon) I'm sure that Chels will have a tooth REALLY soon!!! (not saying anything more about my wonderful niece!)
Anyhow - must get that sleep that I want/need while I can
Gregory is in bed atm & got a few bottles to get ready for the morning - hoping to go to Playgroup, just depends on how we both feel come 11:00!!
I'll add pics tomorrow
xoxox

*cough cough sniffle sniffle*

Gday all you who like to catch up on some Lyndal bloggies.... sorry Ive been a little slack but I do believe I have a valid reason for my 'slack-ness'. I'm a MUM!! Well theres that and my excuse to go with it is that I've been sick. Not so much sick but have a really bad cold. I got my Gregory seen to last week and thought that Id be able to kick it before it got too bad... alas I was WRONG, BIGTIME! Ive been coughing and sneezing and snuffling and exhausted!! I couldnt believe just how much energy it has zapped from me lately.

Theres not really a lot other happening around here. - Oh how dare I!! Gregory has started to crawl this week!! He doesnt get very far (yet...) but i wouldnt be surprised if hes speeding around the floor in no time! He has already started to walk around the furniture (standing up) and will go the length of the lounge, around my legs then back again, sometimes with a little tumble but most of the time he just loves to stand. If he's standing and I've gotta leave the room for a sec I usually sit him on his bottom so I know he wont fall but this usually results in a big tearful episode which can only be rectified by putting him back on his feet again!
Oh being a mum is such a wonderful job.

I've also been working this week (a day and 1/2) and also went to the Primary School Musical of the school I teach at. It was good - my sister-in-law thought so too.... (apparently especially when I wasnt 'humming or singing along'... hrmph!!) ah well.. Was a good night out. Gregory was with his Grandma and *great Aunty Rel for the evening. My dad is down in Phillip Island for the Superbikes and Paul was at Coona for work. Everyone is going places!! lol
We're off to Sydney soon for a Conference thingy-thing. Its for careers and parents of children with neuromuscular disorders - as my son has muscular dystrophy.

We're also heading to Bathurst soon for the 1000. Looks to be a good weekend especially with the Brocky tributes. Paul and Grum are marshalling, some other guys will go to the mountain too and then the gals and bubs are having a relaxing w/e (yeh right! :oP) Really looking foward to it. Lynda and I thought we'd go have a good look around and take the bubs in on Friday when it's not so busy and packed like Saturday adn Sunday will be! We really only wanna have a look around for a while - it will be a bit awkward on the bubs to be there too long. CAN'T WAIT!!

Well .... Gregory will be 11 months old this week!! ARGH! Hes gowing up! best go check on him and do some housework if hes still asleep!
