We're okay...

Thank goodness!! We talked, cried, sat in silence, he went out with Molly for the afternoon and when he came back, told me he wanted to stick it out (PHEW!) It's weird now, we're like a new couple all over again - which is nice, and I hope that we can work on it and keep it alive - I knew I couldn't walk away on this one, and I couldn't face him walking away on us.
So life is generally a lot happier, might even scrap a little today, it' s much cooler we got 29 yesterday and it was just so hot! Woke up during the night, drenched in sweat - thankfully today it's about 17!

update above!

Looks like I could become a solo mum again, this time with two kids. Craig doesn't know what he wants, doesn't know whether he wants to be here with us, or whether he wants to leave. I've cried and we've talked - but at the end of it all, it's got to be his decision. So I wait, numb, throbbing head, till he decides what he wants in life - this seriously bites.

I'm creating an album for a friend who's baby is due in about 3-4 weeks, loads of ideas, but pinning (or sticking) them down is a totally different concept! I think I'm struggling because of the no photo aspect...I'm going to go take pictures of her nursery and her belly (cos I'm not sure she's taken any) and I'll have those in the album when I give it to her....so they'll have to be a bit secret squirel. We had a surprise baby shower for her yesterday and she was so blown away - it was so cool...it's been ages since a baby has been around.

I would've liked to give it for shower, but everyone was so excited about the idea, and we'd only discussed it during last weeks coffee session! I have now run out of green and pink cardstock, so will have to wait until the scrap shops open again before I can continue!

I'm so over this weather too....I'd really like for us to have some summer before the season offically ends! I can't even plan things, cos the weather is so unpredictable!

Oh and I'm over hairly mclary - Molly would have these read all day long if she had her choice, and the wiggles DVD space dancing, she's always loved this DVD when we hired it out, so we thought we'd buy it for her birthday (even though she got it early!) and it's almost played constantly *rolleyes*

Well, I got brave &

submitted some layouts - one place I've heard that they have received the emails, but nothing more (a automated email) and the other nothing....so I'm resigned to the fact that my first submissions were unsuccessful...no surprise there hehe...I've been so moody and down lately that just looking at my desk makes me want to pack it all in and give up, nothing to do with submitting either....just have blocks and I hate it...my stash sucks sometimes and DH generously brought me a scrapping surprise, unfortunately it was that pack that's on TV...yeah, well....oh and the best bit, they don't accept returns....dork. So I'm looking for new mo--jo!!

Isn't that picture cute? Molly is on a huge Hairy Mclary kick, and it's great...though reading the same two books over and over does get some what old...thank goodness her birthday is coming up...will let people know she'd love a hairy maclary book!!

The suit has been successful, up until yesterday...she pooped during the day and did her trick, but in saying that, she comes to me, with only a small amount of poop on her fingers, and says yuck...and last night she managed to get into the suit (don't ask me how, considering it was under pj's...little toad) BUT this morning she got up (at 6.15am!!!) and stood in our door way going yuck....I thought fanfreakingtastic...to deal with that at 6.15am!! BUT she hadn't put her hands in it! Fingers crossed huh??

We'll I'm off...need to shower and get out of this joint...Craig can have the pleasure of Princess Endless Demanding, while I go off and visit two lots of puppies, one lot that our pooch, Bentley is the father of!

erm...one of those days (or is that weeks?)

Molly is testing my patience - she's blown Craigs completely out of the water (hence my title). It's a horrible topic, and it's nasty to deal with - but we are going through it - she's taken to pooping (while in bed, after the night-night routine) and shoving her hands down her nappy (nice huh?)...I just went to check her and she's poop free, but followed me down the hall! Think I'll let her stay up for a bit longer and see if she'll poop while she's up. I need to find one of those all in one swim suits - I think this'll work. Had thought about bodysuits, but they still give easy access around the legs - if it's got the length, like boyshorts, we should be good to go.
So, yeah, Craig and I are in a rocky patch, but in typical fashion, he just doesn't seem aware of it. I'm really tired of having his gloomy cloud dampen my day, his mood is draining - he'll deny anything is wrong, and getting anything out of him is harder than getting blood from a stone! I seriously think we're leading seperate lives - well he is anyway - what life have I got, motherhood!! He's out now - lord knows where. Man this sucks.

January the 6th already - though I have to admit that this week has crawled by, I'm not sure it's because of the weather, or the fact that we've done absolutely nothing - or maybe it's because T'Keyah's been away since Saturday. I am working up the courage to submit to CorrespondenceART, (http://www.correspondenceart.com/submission.html) it's a big step I guess, but I have such a fear of rejection, stupid really but I guess it's all underlying issues that go into it too.
I haven't scrapped once this year, well I tried yesterday afternoon, but because I'm now in the lounge because our house is small - Molly was watching videos (read - watching two seconds ejecting, putting something else in, watches two seconds - repeat repeat repeat) and Craig was waffling about stuff he was surfing on the web, I just couldn't concentrate!! So i went and played Harry Potter on the PS2...I'm at the final stage, and for the life of me I can't kill the dementors - so it'll be another game that I have almost finished! Grrr - LOL.
Today we have a little sunshine - we've had such awful weather this week!! We were out at Craigs parents yesterday afternoon when the thunder and lightening hit (again) and HAIL!! The ground was white!! Crazy - we didn't have this much bad weather during winter. I'd really like some summer back - Molly hasn't even worn her new togs yet, but she's had plenty of use from her umbrella Aunty Suz got her for Christmas! I sure hope it improves soon. Righto, I'd best be off, have to meet Ma at Farmers, they've got 50% off a dolls pram, so she's going to get it for us for Mollys birthday!

Happy New Year

...and it's raining, typical huh - the two days that you can guarantee it'll rain in Dunedin, NewYears and Christmas, and this year it kept the tradition! Though on the plus side, it gave Molly a chance to use her new umbrella that Aunty Suz got for her for Christmas - though my lame photos are damping the whole coolness factor!

I really, really need to learn more about the stupid little camera, and use it to it's best ability, it was by no means cheap, but I still wish we'd waited a little longer and got a rebel or something along those lines - I'd kill for great pictures - Okay, so tonight (or tomorrow) I'll research into the camera and learn more about it, and how to use it better!! I want to scrap some fabulous photos - not just ho-hum ones!! (Now if anyone is actually reading this, feel free to comment and tell me some pointers...please!) Oh and the princess in the picture, was sitting in the rain prior to Craig taking her out the umbrella (and an ice cream!) and so she sat on the top step like this for ages!)
