We’ve been stuck at home for the past 3 1/2 weeks – chicken pox being the main culprit and now rain that doesn’t look as though it will ever stop. Yes, great if it goes into the dams and waters the crops but when when when will I get my washing done? Nice to see my priorities are sorted.

All 3 boys have been infected with the pox (POX ON YOU!)- even poor 7 month old. Alhamdulillah they have all recovered well and we’re just waiting for the lesions to heal so we can get out of the house. I’ve enjoyed having 5 year old at home. We haven’t done anything but play (and most of my time is spent trying to stop the older boys from fighting – what is going on here?) and our mornings are blissfully lazy.

Excellent anti-itch stuff

Australian Varicella Vaccination Program – I know immunisation always brings about a bit of debate. Natural immunity, homeopathic immunisations and not vaccinating=child abuse and all of that. Please, keep it nice if you want to comment. :)
