… it’s Friday? Seriously? What happened to Thursday? Apparently I blinked and missed it! OK I’ve officially missed a day or writing, on this blog that is… but I did still actually post on the other side, so *technically* I have yet to miss a day of Blog365.. amiright?

So… another week gone by and I’ve barely noticed til it’s the weekend again! What did we DO?? Well… I did hand in the form for Zack’s nursery place, and got a call this morning to say he can have a morning slot, so I’m away in on Tuesday to fill in paperwork and find out the exact days and hours etc to take him - yay!!

Potty training is still going really well, J even took him out for a walk up to the supermarket and back (about a 35 min walk there, with a toddler) and he was good the whole way there and back, no accidents and promptly used the potty when he got home. However… he refuses point blank to go on a proper toilet - ONLY the potty is suitable apparently, so it could get interesting if he needs to go but won’t sit on the loo when we’re out Mind you, he’s done so well already I’m sure we’ll crack that soon enough!

Max turned over in his bed this evening - I had assumed he was just doing his cranky tired cry, until it got louder instead of quieter… I go in to investigate and the poor wee guy is on his tummy trying to turn back, bless ‘im, no more rest for me till he figures out how to get himself back over!

The cat… OMW the cat! He gets so hyper in the late-evenings it’s hilarious to watch! Although this must be said whenever someone’s entering our house now… beware he likes pouncing on feet!

*yawns*

Time for me to go to bed before midnight. Only just before midnight, but hey, let’s not get fussy now

We have so many things happening this month it’s just not even funny anymore! I’ll start from the top with the dates I know are set in stone…

Tuesday 5th: Max has his 16wk injections - last ones for a year, woot! I must be one of the only mothers I know who doesn’t get at all freaked out and emotional when their baby gets a vaccination. I mean ok, so they are painful, but I know I practically forget I’ve had a jab after like 20 minutes, and I have a long-term memory - he doesn’t! I’d much rather be the one holding him and making sure everything is done properly than get someone else to do it or even worse, choose not to have him immunized at all!
Did you know the cases of measles mumps and rubella are on the up again in the UK because mothers are choosing NOT to vaccinate their children because of a stupid study that tried to link the MMR vaccine to autism? FYI - it HAS been completely discredited many MANY times over!

Ok… off my soap box now!

now, where was I? oh yes…

Wednesday 6th: it’s officially 4 years since J and I got together, doubt anything will be done for that but woot!!!! …again.

Thursday 14th: Valentine’s day, I think that will be a cards and nookie day
Wednesday 20th: J’s birthday. I haven’t a clue what I’m going to get him in real life, although I have something planned “in game” for WOW… I know, I know geekdom… but! He’ll be soooo chuffed if I actually manage to get it!

Saturday 23rd: just 3 days after J’s b-day and it’s our 3 year wedding anniversary. Probably put the kids to bed early and make a nice meal or something. We shall see!

Gaaaah too many things that I’m supposed to do something for, but not a damn clue what!

Right… moving on. Max is now almost growing out of his basinette/moses basket thingy… to be honest I’m surprised we’ve been able to use it for so long. So that means, we need to move him into his cot - correction, Zack’s cot. Z still hasn’t figured out how to climb out of it so we figured we might as well keep him in there for as long as possible. Now we’re at the stage that he HAS to go into a big bed to make room for Max. Thing is, the room that Zack is moving into at the moment has about 20 piles of junk in it and nowhere else to store it. GAAAH!

We need to clear out the spare soon-to-be-Zack’s room, get the new bed, bed guard and covers for that room, move all his stuff in there (that won’t take too long at least) and get him in there asap. We’re really just waiting for the bed to arrive via my parents before we sort out that room properly.
Then… we need to fix a crack in the cot that’s been screaming at me to be fixed for months (procrastination-r-us), and get Max in there.

Oh. My. God! I will be glad when this month is over!!

Ok ok, so I’m a day late.  Actually, as I’m writing this it’s still friday, but I’ve already got 2 posts up today and I’ll be away all of saturday and not sure if I’ll have access to be able to post… god forbid I miss a day of Blog365!

So here is my Saturday’s feast

Appetizer
How many times per day do you usually laugh?
About  10-15 maybe?  That’s an at least I think… hmm.  Dammit now I want to count all the laughs to find out *sigh*  Kinda easy to have lots to giggle at with a toddler around!

Soup
What do your sunglasses look like? Uh, they have 4 fingers and a thumb… Ok so I don’t have any sunglasses atm, so I use my hands as shades… har har I’m so clever eh?

Salad
You win a free trip to anywhere on your continent, but you have to travel by train. Where do you go?
York. Great pubs and plenty of things to do without too much travel!

Main Course
Name one thing you consider a great quality about living in your town/city.  Dundee isn’t a huge city like Glasgow (which, byt the way, still pales into comparison with cities in the US I’m sure!), but it’s not tiny either - you won’t get overwhelmed by it but there are still plenty of shops etc to visit!

Dessert
If the sky could be another color, what color do you think would look best? EH?! What a question! I’ll go with pink cause I love pink skies

I have an addiction, and it’s about time I came clean about it. I’ve posted previously about how I’m married to a gamer, well, it’s time to admit it - I am also… a gamer. I am addicted to World of Warcraft. It’s a massively multiplayer online role playing game, or MMORPG for short. J made the huge stupid completely retarded mistake of encouraging me to have a go of his new game when he got it back in Feb 05. I was pregnant with Zack and as J was working til 10pm every night at that point it would give me something to do while he was away he said. I’d like it he said. So I tried it. One night after my soaps had finished at aroun 7pm, I tried it out. Four hours later when he finally came home from work I was still playing.

Almost 3 years later I am still playing. I am addicted to the point that I have a little side-blog about my adventures in the World of Warcraft. Not only do I like to play it, I like to read about it, research how to do things better on it, chat about it, but let’s be honest… writing about WoW doesn’t exactly fit into this blog anywhere does it? So there’s a cute lil RSS feed of it down the right sidebar now. If I don’t post here of a day (god forbid I miss a day of Blog365!) I’ll have posted over there.

I’ve had to severely cut down on my WoW addiction since about august/september last year when my pregnant belly just made it impossible to sit infrom of a PC for any amount of time, and then the little terror was born, so no WoW time then (although I still read about it a lot, mainly reading about other people playing it in their blogs)… and then I had the great idea of starting a blog in November (thanks TJ and BRK) so now I have TWO addictions to feed and less time than ever to dedicate to either of them!

Now I’m stuck with not just a gaming addiction, but a blogging addiction too - how the hell did that happen??

Have you got anything you’re addicted to, how did it start and have you taken any steps towards overcoming it?

I just want to apologise to my lovely readers for not posting much with any gusto over the past few days.  My migraine is now in it’s 3rd day running and nothing seems to be working to shift it!

I’ll post some pics tomorrow for my weekly winners and hopefully I’ll be back on track by monday.

Muchos love to my friends in the bloggy world
