Yesssss!!
It's that time of week again, well I'm a bit late, but I'm here now;
And that's all that counts!
1.
Our newest Babysitter -
Dora the Explorer;
I love having the ability to record episodes of Dora on our Foxtel IQ, and have it playing whenever I need it. I can do housework, I can duck outside for a quick smoke, I can go to the toilet - get this - ALONE! Khiarna is obsessed with Dora, and now the Buddha - man is following suit. Watching them both lay on the floor together, eyes wide open, smiles on their faces, watching the adventures Dora and Boots embark on. Khiarna jumps up and follows their actions, points out the characters to me, screams "Oh no, Swiper Mummy" and repeats EVERY word they say, including what they say in Spanish.
Heart-melting stuff right there!
2.
A long, hot shower - ALONE!
The other day, I got to shower alone, for the first time in ages. Normally, I've got one of the kids with me, usually Izaiah.
But not this time.
Both kids were asleep, and I thought I'd take this time to reward myself, with a long, relaxing, hot shower. Hey, I even got to wash my hair, and shave my legs.
Now that is a slice of sweet, sweet heaven!
3.
Lacy Lingerie;
I have 2 items of lingerie in my drawer, that have been there for years - never worn.
Tonight, Andrew is out with his mates, I actually thought he'd be home earlier, and I wanted to surprise him. I went to the drawer and pulled out the waste of material sitting in it. I looked it over for awhile, and thought "Hey, what the hell" I put it on, and to my surprise, it fits, quite nicely. And to top it off, I even feel comfortable in it!! I couldn't believe it, it looks good, is comfortable, and I'm loving it!
It even prompted me to jump on the scales. To find I'd lost 2kgs - yew go me!
Needless to say, I put it on at around 9:30pm, it is now 12:48am, still no Andrew, but I'm still wearing it, what can I say, I actually feel comfortable, I feel like I actually look good. Now I haven't felt like this since before I fell pregnant with Izaiah!
It could very well be the start of a new addiction!
4.
BBQ Chicken and Bacon pizza -
What can I say? Except "Delicious"!
I hadn't had it in close to 18 months, and last night decided I'd give it a go again. One of the best choices I have ever made!
I have enjoyed this beautiful piece of tasty heaven, 2 nights in a row now. Although, I'm almost certain Khiarna enjoyed it alot more than I did tonight, considering she polished off 5 pieces of it tonight!
Shock horror!

Khiarna's WONDERFUL change in behaviour;
For the last few months before turning the big 2, the tantrums this girl could throw, were unbelievable, and constant!! This lasted up until about 2 weeks ago. She still throws them for her Daddy dearest, but hardly ever Mummy anymore. I was even able to take both her and Izaiah to Macca's and then Coles, without a pram or stroller, and without having to raise my voice once - COMPLETELY tantrum free!!
She has gone back to being my little Angel once again.
And...The only things she asked for while we were shopping was cheese, and - wait for it - heaps of things in the HEALTH FOOD section. Dried fruit and fruit snacks like apricot logs, etc. She had her own money too - $7, and she bought herself a little teddy bear and a chocolate egg. I couldn't believe the teddy bear, she saw it on the bottom shelf grabbed it and refused to swap it for a pretty lion or elephant one, it had to be this plain tan teddy bear. It was $6 so she bought it with her own money, and thought she was so grown up!
6.
Sleeping In Until 9-9:30am;
It seems Izaiah has finally realised that Mummy thoroughly enjoys a good sleep-in!
We're still having trouble most nights getting him to bed before 1am, but for the last 3/4 nights, he's been in bed before 10/10:30 and not waking until 9-9:30am!!!
Ohh and when he wakes now, he lays in his basinet while I get Khiarna dressed and get dressed myself, without crying once. He lays there talking to himself, or just staring at his mobile. And then spends the next hour after waking, giggling and smiling at me, refusing to touch his bottle, once he has got that hour of giggling, smiling and talking to his Mummy dearest out of the way, he has his bottle, and then starts the catnapping process for the day!
7.
Baby #3 - An Agreed Deal;
The other night, whilst Andrew was semi-drunk, we were laying in bed discussing - BABIES!
Andrew has been dead-set on 'no more babies' he says he is quite happy with the 2 he has already, and with the complications we have had with the pregnancies and births of both our beautiful kiddies, he's too scared of what may happen the next time. Plus, he says he can't handle the stress of all the complications.
BUT...The other night, that all changed. I never wanted a big family, one was always going to be enough for me, until I fell pregnant with Khiarna. Then I decided I wanted a big family, 4 or 5! Andrew had always wanted that, until we had Izaiah. As far as he was concerned, he had his girl and his boy, he didn't want, nor need, another. But he has agreed, he even shook on it, that in 3yrs time, we can start trying for another bubba!
Yessssssss!!
These are just 7 of the many things that have made me happy this week, there are more, but 7 is enough.
Stay tuned for next weeks instalment!!
