Lost That Loving Feelin'

I have been on the quiet side here for the past week or more... kinda lost my blogging mojo a bit :-(!

I am exhausted - one busy toddler who hardly stops and hardly sleeps, and who has been teething for the past two months will do that to you! Life has got much busier, and I have not had the time, motivation, or... well anything really, to spend time writing and posting here.

I am sure once this bout of teething is over, and Button starts sleeping more again... and I get into a decent rhythm with Playcentre, Coffee n Kids and the TNT Trust Meetings - I'll feel the urge again; but until then it will remain fairly quiet.

I will still do my 'Weekly Loving' entries (think they're SO important), and my poems - but that will probably be it!

However - do pop back once in a while, as my blog is going to get a REVAMP, thanks to the lovely Simone at Greatfun4kids... YAY, so excited to have won that competition! I tried so hard to get this new blog looking good before I 'opened' it for you all to see, but I just don't have the know-how to make it work (or the time to play as much as I'd need to). So this way I get a new look without all the frustration.... perfect!

I will be back though, I love blogging... just need a little break to recharge my batteries!

Blogging is addictive so I am sure you will be back sooner than you think - teeth and sleep (or lack of) and toddlers all go together and "this too shall pass"

VERY Belated Ninja-Bake Post...

It's funny how things work out...
I wasn't planning on doing the Ninja Bake, but it had been niggling me a little bit; I had the confidence and the time this year to actually do this, and it seemed such a cool thing. SO, eventually I made an effort to read up on it, only to discover that the registrations to be a 'Baker' had closed the day before - so I figured 'it wasn't meant to be'!
Next thing I know - there was an e-mail from Sophie thanking me for registering; with enough other details for me to realise that she had the wrong Elizabeth, in the wrong city! But it was a 'God-Incidence', and I just knew it! So I e-mailed her straight back, explained the alter-ego issue, but also let her know I actually was keen... and that is how it got started!
I registered, but it was decided I would pick two families myself - which I had been thinking of doing anyway! So I duly went up to Button's Preschool and asked the lovely Head Teacher to pass on the name…

Commenting...

Image
Loads of people are commenting on the most recent changes in Blogger; most annoyingly, now you have to verify two words, not one... and they are VERY difficult to read. To the point it is almost ridiculous; and some people have stopped commenting altogether.
I have finally worked out (after much frustration) how to turn off 'Word Verification', and am only using the 'Comment Moderation' tool now! Yay for me... 

Linking in hereand here!
So please come back and comment on my blog again, it's all easy-peasy once more; nothing too difficult or annoying  ;-)!

Burnt Potatoes and other things that make me GRUMPY!!!!!

Tuesday 16th November 2010

 I had a bit of a burning problem today... not sure if I should be admitting it or not, but here it is!


I, ahhh - burnt the potatoes I was cooking for dinner! Burnt the potatoes I hear you say - how on earth...???!!!! It's really quite simple; I had expected Button to not want to go to bed for another 20-30 minutes, but she cracked up earlier than I had anticipated, and when she cracks - she CRACKS! So I just popped upstairs to put her down, normally this 'little' job only takes about 10-15 minutes, as she quietly 'chats' herself to sleep in my arms. But NO - today she screamed for the first 10 minutes, and then she took another 15 or so minutes to actually settle down and go to sleep... it wasn't until I was in the middle of this saga that I remembered the potatoes AND pumpkin were both cooking on the stove on HIGH!!!!! 
As time went on, I could smell the burning; but I also knew that if I popped Button down I'd have to start again, …
