I’m back

Said like Arnie but in a funny accent that I have (apparently)

What have I been up to? WELL…….Not a lot lets see

My middle guy Jerry

Well he started Pre-school the nursery where he was at was fine. but WOW it cost more than a private school nursery with the grant in place so being the posh cow that I am I have sent him to the pre-school at Eliza’s school and it’s working out brilliantly. He LOVES it, he’s thriving there, tells me all about what he’s done, what he’s learned and most of all he’s himself which may or may not be a good thing, I think the whole screaming with his hands over his ears might be getting be getting a bit old for his teacher but she is so lovely she’s not saying to much about it.

Eliza..My sweet Eliza

They told me today she is petrified of the water. I feel huge mothers guilt. I’ve never taught her to swim OK, I took her once to the hot tub we had in Sydney and that was kinda it and the pool and she HATED every minute almost. I LOVE swimming, I use to swim competitively I  watch swimming on the olympics like someone is hand feeding me crack cocaine I love it, sorry that was the only thing I could compare it too. *oops*

You see Eliza really isn’t the sporty type she is the head down focus type it’s just who she is and that’s great I want her to be who she wants to be. I said to her teacher today. I won’t humiliate her by putting her into a swimsuit with floats. Which is what they suggested. I will talk to Eliza she is more than able to understand that it will help or perhaps older girls will mock her. I don’t want to damage her confidence or lack of more. On the way home we spoke about her fears and I asked her what she could do. I have decided that I am going to don a swimsuit and shorts until I get that thigh tattoo re done anyway LOL and I will make her one of the most confident kid swimmers there is, because it’s my bloody responsibly to raise a kid who’s confident in all areas of her life, not a school or a swim teacher it’s me.

So that’s Eliza…Then we have little Theo

WOW

this dude is cool, he has shocking hair

Shall I blab about him? Not today I am feeling really sad about Eliza, sad I’ve let her down in an area of her life that really is quite important.

Parenting sure sucks sometimes.

But the good thing, I am blogging again. I can’t not!
