Weekly Update

Things have been going well.
I've been working a few extra nights to cover for other employees absences. Been good.
Jessica has had a bad case of oral thrush since last weekend. We finally (after much trouble) got medicine to alleviate her pain. Mycostatin and Xylocaine to clear it up. She has responded well to the meds. We took her to the Baby Health Centre yesterday and got her weighed and checked. She now weighs 9"4' so Jess has put on a pound over 2 weeks. Most salubrious.

The girls (Paige / Sarah) have been a nightmare over the last week. Sarah is going deeper into her own little world (or as we call it - her 'Bubble'). Paige can one minute be an angel and the next a horror. It is so hard to keep them on a even keel. Ang and myself have to adjust our lives around Jessica and then everyone else at home. Basically all at home are trying to find their spot in the pecking order again.

Jaiden has been his normal self. Mr Electronical (computer boy). Getting him to do anything around the house is a struggle and a losing battle.

Ang and Me have found some quality time together. Somewhat.

We have done a basic budget for a month and after everything we are left with around $150 spare per week. I am now putting $75 away a week for a rainy day. It's not that Ang spends all the money on herself, just buying stuff that is unecessary. I wont have her begging me for money but I would like for her to have more restraint when it comes to spending. I am no longer betting (my sacrifice for the family) so it will be interesting to see how this goes.


Apart from that the kids are going away to the Grandparents for the weekend (thank god) and we get some quiet time with Jess. We are coming to the end of the school year and the hot weather is fast approaching.
