It’s Monday night and the last 5 days has just flown!

Thursday and Friday were spent out of town in Auckland on business.  I’m doing two jobs for the next month and will be spending two days out of town for the next three weeks.  Between the travelling and the two jobs things are crazy busy…..

Saturday saw me have my first ever professional massage!  It was a gift for my birthday from Jay and Larry and Saturday was the last day that the certificate was valid.  It was a neck, shoulder and back massage and Sunday saw me hardly able to move!  My knots felt like walnuts along my shoulders and the breaking down of them took it’s toll.

Vic’s birthday tomorrow

Thanks for everyone’s comments/emails/phonecalls regarding Vic.  It’s taken until yesterday for her to get vaguely back to normal and to a state where she can lift Max comfortably.  Hopefully she’s well on the way to recovery now.

Speaking of Max, he was sitting at his wee table early last week and so I thought I’d give him his dinner there and see how he went.  Naturally he won’t have anything to do with his highchair now I took this photo yesterday and was slightly saddened to see how grown up he looks 🙁

I’m off to Christchurch tomorrow for a couple of days with work and I really hope Vic will be OK 🙁

She is feeling OK if she keeps up mild pain relief and she’s had lots of offers of help so I think she’ll be fine….. no doubt I’ll be on the phone every two minutes

See y’all soon.

It’s early afternoon and Vic and Max are asleep.

Vic didn’t get better.

She thought she was better so I went to a couple of meetings yesterday.  When I got home she was in so much pain that she couldn’t move or stand and was shaking with the pain so it was off to the hospital in the ambulance for my poor baby.  4 hours (most of it on entonox) later and a ruptured ovarian cyst was diagnosed.

They kept her in overnight to monitor and control the pain and Max and I went to the hospital to see her this morning.  She is home now and feeling a lot better although very tender and absolutely knackered and just on mild pain relief.

Max has just woken up so I better be off.

Sunday evening – Max is in bed grumbling and Vic’s in bed sick……. what a way to finish the weekend 🙁

Last week was mental at work and so all of a sudden it’s the weekend and I haven’t done an update for ages.  The weekend brings with it a range of chores so that’s flown as well. The one good thing is that it’ll be summer before I know it

As you know we bought Max a proper bed a couple of weeks ago and we moved into his room today.  After we made it up the first thing he did was jump up and snuggle under the covers!  He was wide awake at the time but at least he recognises what it is, right For his afternoon nap Vic tried to put him in his cot but he just stood there crying and pointing at his new bed We put him in it and left him for 15 minutes or so but he wasn’t having any of it so it was back into his cot…… good start though

I hope your weekends were good

My Mother bought Max a wee trike the other day and I got the job of putting it together Here’s a picture of Max “helping” me screw it up together.  Naturally a job of this importance required his Bob the builder hard hat
