running on empty

It's been almost 9 months since Lilly was born and a lot of time I feel like I'm running on empty. I love being a working mum but in transit I always wish to be a stay at home. Sometimes I feel I'm kidding myself that I choose to work because I couldn't sit at home. All though I was going stir crazy.
Lilly has changed a lot! I've been neglecting this blog as I've been telling her accomplishments and my struggles with bubhub and facebook
So how has Lilly changed ?
She rolled over at 14 weeks still hates beening on her back.
She started crawling like a worm at 6 months and still doing that. She gets up on het hands and knees and rocks a lot but still not doing cross (22/4/2010)
She can crawl
She is pulling herself up on furniture to stand and crawl up stairs
She is eating everything, started solids at 4 months now has finger foods and a mix of blended or choped foods
Has a lonely tooth waiting for the next
Smiles her head off, and although she does laugh it's more silent than a huge giggle
Waves occasionaly
Loves to "sing" in the car. Talks a lot but can go for a long time in silance and stare
Knows what the mirror and telphones are and knows to smile when the camera is pointed at her
Hair still slowly growing
Still in a way petite wears some 000 but mostly 00 and dosnt weigh 8 kilos yet

Well I'm looking forward to mothers day 1 week away!

Julie/Lisa experiment

Ok so I've asked for Julie Goodwins cookbook for mothers day
While watching Julie & Julia last night I thought "hey I could do that!", with Julie's cookbook! I've already got a blog. I have some readers, well my Aunty Larelle, Andrea and Wendy :D
It'd be a good way to ensure that I actually cook the recipees.
I love cooking.
I love cookbooks.
I own I don't know how many cookbooks. I once had to cull half of them! I do have a knack for remembering recipees but I'm terrible at actually cooking a decent amount of recipees out of them. I'm lucky to have cooked more than 1 or 2 out of each book.
So I've decided to do this. Thanks to some hubbers who have convinced me.
I'm not sure if I can get through the book by next mothers day.
I have to warn new readers I'm a shocker at spelling and punctuation so I'm sorry about that and I don't pre read the post.
I want be as good as Julie Powel, she is a professional writter, while I only wish I had the skill. And while she had the entire New York City at her desposal with 24 hour shopping, with supermarkets, green grocers, butchers, delicantesants, bakers, chocolate and cheese stores and boutiqu food stores and markets.
I have, 3 wollworths, 2 coles, our butchers and fruit and veg store and a few other heatlh stores.
Wish me luck

RIP Wicket

Yesterday we had to make the decision to put my dog down :crying:
we got her in 2004 she was about to turn 6, mum brought her while we were suffering the pain of infertility
she was soo loyal and cuddly. We I was diagnoised from cancer and had a hospital stay didn't leave my side once I came home, and was again by my side while I was pregnant and never was jealous of dd.
Two years ago we moved into my mums and mum got a new dog the same week from RSPCA Rocky was five months but our Wicket was 4 years she was a shi tzu so rocky a japanese spitz already was bigger.
Last year just before dd was born we moved into a unit, we could have wicket there so she would stay sometimes and go back to mums.
When she was with us she slept inside every night on our bed, but I know the last few weeks she has been sleeping outside at mums
yesterday mum called to say we needed to take wicket to the vet, her eye had fallen out. We rushed her to the vet, they said she had been in a fight with rocky and that to remove it or keep the eye would cost $1000s and lots of surgies that might not fix the problem. And that she was already blind :( the vet said it was the best option for her was to put her down. :(
I feel like I let her down :( I wish we didn't have to move to thus unit so she could of been with us, I wish I was strong enough to be holding her while she passed away like dh did. I feel so awful and sad for her. I've owned over 10 dogs in my life but she touched my heart the deepest and I let her down :(
