The union busting that this government is trying to do is so angering!
I may be biased with the people I interact with, but everyone I’ve chatted with supports the teachers
This is a massive improvement to the beginning of previous years. We were getting phone calls/emails about behavioural issues pretty much on a daily basis. To the point he was nearly stood down last year.
I am beyond proud of his effort ❤️
At the half way point of the term, I just had a great chat with the 7yo’s teacher.
He’s had a great term so far. I was so proud to hear he recognises when he needs breaks & lets the teacher know. And then he engages back in his learning when asked.
The teacher is happy with his progress ❤️
It’s a small work annoyance… but why is it when I tell people my Outlook calendar is up to date, and to find a gap that works for them, they often still book over something else…
There is gonna be a lot of salty dots ❤️ hopefully you will find a way to support yourself through it when it happens
But be kind to yourself. It isn’t easy seeing a loved one in dementia care.
When things settle. Do try to look for some good. I still giggle about the last time I saw my Nana in care. She’d gotten a jury dury summons. We joked with the carers about her on the jury. It helped ❤️
Me: can you please go brush your teeth?
7yo: can you please come with me young girl… with grey hair… look I’m holding a grey hair
🙃😂
Is she honestly admitting that Auckland can only just grow now because of this report?!
Like, isn’t it her job to help with that? What the hell has she been doing for the past 4-5 years?
Given the impact of covid to me after 3 vaccinations, I’ve always had the same thought too.
I hate to think what life would have been like for my partner and son without the lockdowns.
I keep getting up and doing little jobs around the house because everytime I sit down, I feel like I’m about to fall asleep.
It’s too early to fall asleep 🥱
Yeah, I have definitely realised this is the reason. It’s just so exhausting. I know I say no, wait, or hang on way more than his Dad. But it’s because he also asks me more often too.
His Dad has a tendency to forget whatever it is, if he doesn’t go do it straight away
Why, even though my partner is closer to the 7yo than me, does the 7yo bother me for things?!
I’m busy cleaning bathrooms. My partner is sitting on the couch scrolling his phone 😐
Have started the trek around the Newtown Festival…
The 7yo is thoroughly enjoying talking with the stall holders!
The McDonald’s Friends figurines. They are standing on their boxes. From left to right is Joey, Rachel, Ross, Chandler and Monica
Getting there. Just need Phoebe.
I now have 3 Rachel’s too 😂
It’s been quite therapeutic having a ranting chat session with one of my Mum friends tonight.
Feel like I’ve needed it!
That’s not bad.
Our trick is to get the 7yo to lie still. Once he does, he clearly gets bored and just falls asleep 😂 us just sitting in the room seems to help with this, occasionally we need to lie with him
Yeah, we did discuss it with the paediatrician. Haven’t tried it yet. But may try it. Most nights he’s fine. We might have 1 night every 2ish weeks where he won’t fall asleep. Even then, on those nights we normally have him asleep by 9:30 at the latest
Just bought our tshirts for the Asthma Foundation’s Blue Shirt Day.
I thinm this years design is really nice. And has a good message with it 💙

Yes, so much this!
Currently sitting in the 7yo’s bedroom in the hopes it helps him fall asleep…
He’s a little too excited for his school trip to the swimming pool tomorrow
Not really a typical thing in a fruit salad.
He did thoroughly enjoy it. And ate it all.
His Grandad however, was not impressed when he tried putting cucumbers in his fruit salad 😂
The 7yo is making a fruit salad with his Grandad…
GD: do you want banana?
7yo: yep!
GD: pineapple?
7yo: yep!
GD: peaches?
7yo: yep. And I want little cucumbers and tomatoes
🙃😂
There’s clearly a sports day or something at the local college. All the teens are dressed in outrageous outfits in specific colours. He absolutely loved seeing their outfits
Walking to school this morning it’s obvious that the 7yo enjoys it due to being able to talk to everyone else who is walking to work/school
Wish me luck getting through the day.
One of the toys I had taken off the 7yo started randomly making noises at 3:30am.
I did not go back to sleep properly 😴
It really is.
I can’t remember exactly what I said one day to him. But I remember him getting upset and saying “you don’t love me anymore”. That day was when I realised I need to be really careful with my words!
That sounds like something my 6yo would say. It’s so hard to explain why I don’t feel sad about being alone without accidentally hurting his feelings! 😂
“Literature, societal understanding and personal spiritual experiences in a national library might be harder things to put a dollar value on than, say agricultural exports, but that’s not because they’re not valuable; it’s because they’re priceless.” ❤️

I don’t remember having my inhaler before going to bed.
And my breathing and coughing this morning suggests I did not have it 😔
