I haven't blogged forever. Too much to do and too little time. Graphics and webpages to work on and bucket loads of email to read each day when I should be on holiday.

Adrian and the family are peeved with how demanding it is supporting a student midwife. Nothing ever seems to get done and I've been away for quite a few births in the last month. It's not major stuff like I expect it will be next year but if I don't have their support then I have to reconsider whether I can continue. I felt ganged up on and with nowhere to turn because they were all stating their needs and not giving me options to resolve the situation.

I love midwifery!

I have updated my son's page with some rugby photos from his game yesterday. You could visit his site and sign his guestbook. I am sure he would like that =)

My Little Fella played rugby today and he scored two trys. I am so proud of him. He had been put into the difficult position of playing for the opposing team because they were short a player.

I also passed my Pharmacology exam =D

Passing this was such a relief because I got by with only reviewing 2 weeks out of 10. So I should do even better next time.

I have some births to attend coming up which I am really looking forward to. Just means that I had better be organised with my study and assignments.

Why is it that the things Mum's really want for Mothers Day is never on the program? My wishes would be for a hassle free day with no kids fighting and they are free!

I was really lucky and got flowers, chocolates, and the Deep Forest, Pacifique CD. Thank you kids and hubby. It's really nice to feel appreciated.

Time for a happy dance because I got an A for my midwifery assignment. I didn't expect an A so I was thrilled :-D

Drin and I have been together 8 years yesterday and married for 6 years. Things are a bit of a grind at the moment, but when we get the chance to take a breather we get refocused.

I just have to include a link to Get Organized At Home! Tips and Tools from OrganizedHome.Com because this site is great. I have started little steps to getting this family and household organised. I think a little bit of distraction tactics from assignments and exam swot.

Only thing it doesn't have is a solution to prevent kids from unrolling an entire roll of toilet paper and how to roll it up so it looks like it never happened. Why is it that re-rolled toilet paper somehow seems recycled or not as safe/perfect/clean as the pristine roll the kids haven't played with?

This page expresses all of the things I feel about Yahoo and it's takeover of WebRing.org.

Only paracetamol yesterday, so I must be getting better :)

I am bewildered and distracted. I have an assignment due at 4pm today, and Adrian is working day shift. I have all 3 kids at home to look after. I need to go to the supermarket and finish my research and then focus solely on getting my assignment finished. With kids aged 2, 4 and 6 years old I can't just leave them to their own devices. What a major screw up in communication! I feel as though Adrian did it on purpose and doesn't care. I know that's not the case, but I sure am pissed...

On Friday I felt fine and was wondering what all the fuss was about the pain of having a tonsillectomy. Today I eat my words!

Imagine a scab over a wound coming off to reveal the new skin underneath and apply that theory to the back of your throat. Except the throat has loads of sensitive nerves and is very vascular with lots of blood flow. Ouch! And the pain relief doesn't fully relieve the pain, or last as long as the required time gap between doses...

It's great to see you back. Hooray!

My throat aches. I had a tonsillectomy on the 12th, at the grand age of 31. I survived! Iced water and lots of pain relief at hand so I can cope. And no shouting at the children...

I have one assignment due during the break, and a pharmacology test at the end of the two weeks. At least I am compelled to stay put and recover and study as well.
