O-Hero's-Mum: Sunny Winters Day

Goodmorning bloggy!

What a pearler of a day it is too here in ole ye Hobart town. The sky is blue, the air is crisp and the mountain is dusted with snow. Finally it feels like the perfect winter's day.

Today's theme music is Paul Simon & Ladysmith Black Mambazo with Diamonds on the Soles of her shoes. God I love Paul Simon, God I love LBM, combined and live...there isn't much I wouldn't give to have experienced this. HERE

Well once again I must report a week of emotional highs and lows. Its seems to be going around though, alot of my friends and family have been feeling the same. Do you think its a by product of a full Lunar eclipse on July 11th? Am I hippy enough to believe that? I think I am. After all I've always been restless on nights of a new moon, not so much full moon though. I often wonder if there is anything in that as well. If werewolves are turned in full moons, what is turned in a new moon? Hmm I think I need to google. No enlightenment at all there.

So last Saturday night my poor son was having a terrible time coughing and wheezing which became too disturbing to bare and at around 830pm we went for a ride down to the after hours doctor. The doctor (young and cute) was either extremely tired or extremely thoughtful, as he had a few very blank moments of staring off to his own little world considering my child's symptoms;I concluded with both. I had to hold a defibrillator mask over my son's face for 45 mins which was no fun park I assure you. Luckily he was so tired and exhausted that the initial trauma of the whole experience passed fairly quickly and I was able to make it seem like a game. It helped immediately much to my relief and the (young & cute) doctor even praised me for doing such a good job in a potentially (tear jerking) stressful procedure. I figured I've done enough over-reacting in bad situations for an army of people in my life time and it's about time I take a calmer path when things like this come up. Drama & tears really don't do anyone any good. So after an extra long visit at the after hours doctor, a huge extra long after hours bill, another extra expensive bag of puffers, spacers, masks from the chemist and a note slipped to the (young & cute) doctor about the extra late party in my pants. (I know, Im funny.) My son finally got a fairly decent nights sleep which means so did I.

Today he is at day care, moved up to the next older kids classroom
(called moonbeams)

and I'm so happy that he absolutely loves it there. The girls are just fantastic, he runs and gives them leaping cuddles when we arrive which makes me feel very happy.
After being mostly stuck inside for three days (no kinder gym, no swimming lessons, no play dates, no parks) I think it is safe to say that a day away from each other is essential for our sanity. Bub gets to play with other kids, trash someone else's house, get spoilt, play games and more;I am having a nice relaxing home day. Give love to my snake house, my fish tank, do a spot of house work, go for a jog, slow cook a curry, watch the latest episode of true blood. Simple and I love it. So I better get to it before the day gets away from me and I will try and write some more later.
Here are some photo's I took through the week. Enjoy. x

Here is my snake Wren, I took him out on my lawn through the week for a stretch. He wasn't too impressed by it, that coil action is a striking pose, then he tried to bury himself in the cold dirt. Silly thing.
