1. Sheesh, can I be more indecisive? I did like the other lime template but this one looks good too, no?

2. Alhamdulillah things with my little baby are going well. He is so much happier now that he is on the meds for his reflux and while he does have the occasional bad day he is still a smiley, chatty and adorable little man. Zantac tastes horrible. It’s so bitter they’ve tried to drown the taste by adding a strong peppermint flavour. The result? – Bitter peppermint. Ugh. I have to say I taste all my children’s medication before I administer it to them. I don’t do the same for the meds for my cats, although I have taken the odd animal antibiotic when I was too lazy busy to go the doctor. A nurse I used to work with made sure she would taste any new dog food before giving it to her dogs. True story. I kid you not. Yep, honest. True story. No you shut up!

3. I am officially OVER Summer. Well, I’m always over it. There’s nothing more gross than sweating profusely and then realising the sweat isn’t actually helping any because THERE IS NO AIR MOVEMENT HENCE NO EVAPORATION HENCE NO COOLING FROM SAID SWEAT! I do think sweat is great and everything but please not on me.

4. Toilet humour is in right now at my house. We have bought this book and the boys strangely enough love it. (I highly recommend this book by the way). The other day I had to pretend I was the poop monster with a turd on my head, suffering from a gross case of projectile vomiting and all this while carrying a jug full of urine just to get my boys in the shower. I suppose I better get used to it – mother of 3 boys and all.

5. Watched Napoleon Dynamite the other night. Still deciding what to think of it. Although I will say this: Your mum goes to college! Oh, and a heads up to anyone who hasn’t seen it – there’s a short scene after the credits have finished scrolling.

6. My cat hasn’t been well for a few months. The only sign being weight loss -he is such a skinny minny. After taking him to the feline specialist, blood tests and exploratory surgery with multiple biopsies of his liver, small intestine and spleen it looks as though he might have an inflammatory liver disease. InshaAllah nothing a 6 week course of 2 antibiotics won’t fix. If that doesn’t help, the next step is longterm steroids. I’m still thinking there is something really sinister going on (ie. cancer) but inshaAllah that’s just my paranoia.

7. I’m still working on my bird flu post and I know you’re all dying to read it. Sabr, children. Sabr!
