Im the best at getting Dex to sleep! Steven was just trying to put him down for a nap for about 20mins but all Dex wanted to do was jump about. So I took him off him and “abracadabra” he’s asleep straight away. Steven had gone into the kitchen to make a coffee and he had only just started it when Dex had fallen asleep in his mammies arms. The trick is to kid-on you don’t want to put him to sleep by doing “this little piggy” and “round the garden” so he thinks your having a laff with him, then sing a wee song, today was the rainbow song and before I got to the “listen with your eyes” he was sleeping, like a baby.
still keeping up with the jiving classes. i took my neighbour's girlfriend last night, she's from Czech Republic and speaks really good english. she never goes anywhere so i thought i should try to get her out of the house. she loved it! Shannon is still loving it too, and we're both getting so much better. i think Marie will come with us again, i hope she does cos i know what its like to be never over the door, its really depressing.
going to mum's later on. Linda and her two are going as well. Robbie left his phone here last night and i was telling him i was going to answer all his txt's with something like "aw rite sexy, hows about it?" but since its in Kai's room, i told him Kai would just answer for him, and knowing Kai, he would do the same as me. i think he knows im only kidding. Billy was supposed to be moving in with mum today, but they still have quite a bit to do in their flat first so i dont think we'll be seeing him today.

scammed!
Aw naw, checked my bank this morning to see that I had £36 taken off for a “free” trial of Dazzlewhite. I got on to txt Linda straight away cos she got a “free” trial too and told her to phone her bank to stop any payments going through. What silly billy’s, we both hadn’t read the satisfaction guarantee bit that tells you that you’ll be charged every month for a 3 month supply to be sent out. Now I have to phone bloody America to see if I can get my money back.
Was my turn for Dex this morning. My god he’s a wee shit machine. I changed his nappy about 4 times before half 10!!

better late...
Ok, its now 25 past 1 on Sunday night Monday morning. Linda is in the boys room trying to get them to put the light out, telling them the electricity is going to trip. Now they probably know nothing about electricity so I know Kai will be shitting himself.
Linda came through this afternoon, I had a wee half bottle o vodka I bought in not knowing she’d be up for a wee drink. How wrong was I.
About half 7 tonight, out came the vodie. We talked and watched the telly till the vodie ran out, so Linda txt her Kirky pal Denise to see if she knew where we could get some more. She had some and said she’d meet us half way. So I told Steven we were going to meet Denise, even thought Linda had pointed to her purse before she went into the toilet insinuating “going to the pub for one”. so off we went to meet Denise, and huckled her into the pub. After a wee dance, and a few shots on the karaoke, 2 n half hours later, we headed up the road, and this is where I am now cos Linda MADE me Write a blog.
Its now 25 to 2.

this and that
I just love watching Dex. He’s watching one of his favourite programmes, “Third and Bird”, It's a great wee programme. Its about birds that live in the trees, Leaf Street I think its called. Its like a cartoon but they sing great songs that are really catchy! He gives out wee, sometimes big, screams of delight, he LOVES it!
Going to jiving classes tonight with Shannon. This is our 3rd week in a row we’ve went. I’m on a roll. I think the last time I went twice then didn’t go back, but I bought dancing shoes a while ago, so I don’t want them to go to waste and never get to wear them.
The past few night ive been trying different recipes from the web. Both times I didn’t have all the ingredients so I swapped a few. The first night it was pork and it said to put in a big fat garlic clove. I didn’t have a big fat one so I used 2 instead. Ugh, far too much, Kai didn’t eat his. Last night I tried “ikea Swedish meatballs”, I didn’t have beef stock or all spice, so I used a lamb stock and Chinese five spices. I didn’t know that there was much of a difference between the spices, but Steven said there was, it tasted alright though. The sauce made from lamb was edible but I would only use beef stock next time, I could taste it for ages afterwards, not nice.

My guy Kai!
It was Kai’s trophy day today. All the other players had been saying that he should get the most improved trophy, I told him not to get his hopes up just in case. When Michael, the coach, was giving out the most improved player trophy, he said “When this boy joined the club I thought he’d be a footballer when I’m a millionaire, but he has worked really hard and always does what he’s told and you just wouldn’t recognize this boy if you were to see him play today. He is starting to show just what skill he has and im very proud of just how much his football has changed. Ok Kai, here’s your trophy for most improved player of the year.” I was so busy trying to get my phone to take a photo I couldn’t clap for him. I was so proud, I was almost crying. That’s my boy!

tick tock
Was going to do a longish post but Dex is STILL up! i think its his teeth although he's not crying, i think he just wants to be hanging out with his parents.
Was at work, came home, gutted out Kai's room, went to East Calder for nappies, had dinner, watched eastenders - while pausing to see to Dex, watched big brother, now I'm writing this, then going to bed. I'm cream krackered!
I need more hours in the day!

First thing
No time for blogs these days, Dex is starting to be a handful with his sleep. Its been ten o’clock all this week, apart from Wednesday I think.
Was Steven’s turn to get up for Dex this morning as I was having my only lie in. I heard him say to Murray, “BAD BOY!” so I was lying thinking, oh no, what now. He came through to tell me. During the night he had got up to put Murray in the kitchen because he was barking and scratching the living room door, so to stop him waking everyone up, Steven put him in the kitchen. Bad move. When he went into the kitchen this morning, Murray had managed to get into his food cupboard and ate all his biscuits! That was almost a full box, like 40 odd biscuits. So, needless to say, Murray had relieved his fullness all over the kitchen floor. So up I got, while I fed Dex, Steven was mopping the kitchen floor with bleach and Murray was sent to the hall. After he had mopped he took Murray out, that’s when I went back in the kitchen and sprayed it all over with kitchen cleaner spray (with bleach), just in case he missed a bit. So the floor has now been washed and washed again, and ill wash it again just in case, this was all done before 8.30 this morning!!!

Go to sleep my baby. . .
Work this morning, not to bad. I really hate doing mail merge now, I’ve been thinking of saying to my supervisor just to put me on indexing, it‘ll give me another thing to learn anyway.
Since turning 12, Kai’s been pushing the line, just a wee bit. Steven caught him playing an over 18 game that he’s not allowed. It’s his pals game (who’s a year younger than Kai) and he brought it up here, don’t know if Kai asked him to or not, but he put it on in his bedroom and got caught from Steven. Ha ha. The cheek of him! Tut tut. So his punishment is taking Murray out for his walks all week.
After work we all went down to the shops, now im skint again. Oh well at least we’ll not starve.
Came home from shops and Linda was in the house with Robbie, Laura and Beverly. She was dropping off Robbie and picking up Beverly. Robbie will be staying till Friday, so that’ll be Kai got a companion for Murray’s walks all week.
Ive come to realize why im short of blogs. Dex is having problems staying asleep. We put him to bed at his usual time of 6.30 - 7.00 when he’s asleep, then about half an hour later he wakes up and he wont go back to sleep. We’ve tried leaving him crying for a wee while but he gets to upset. So since sometime last week, he’s been getting up and staying awake. The latest he was up was Saturday night, he was up till 10.30! I felt like I hadn’t had a Saturday night. Tonight he was put back through just after 10. Im going to make his bed time a bit later to see if he’ll stay asleep doing that.

Happy 13th birthday Robbie!
Took Dex to the hospital again today, his eczema has flared up again, wee soul. All his head is red and half his wee face too. It must be as itchy as hell, he’s always trying to scratch it so he has to have socks on his hands all the time. it’s a wee shame cos he cant really pick things up or play with his toys as easily, but I suppose he’s adapted a bit. Other than that he’s a happy wee boy, always smiling with his two bottom teeth.
Was on the phone to mum earlier. She was telling me the other night that she was going to start to take Shannon to her jiving class every second Wednesday. Well ive decided to go as well, so ill just pick Shannon up and take her through. It’ll be good going to “the dancing” with her, and mum, and im sure Linda will be going along sometimes. So instead of just going every second week, I can take Shannon through myself. I’ll be watching the road very carefully when I go this week so I know the way. I really hate driving somewhere I don’t know, especially in town, I get really nervous, its horrible! This is also good cos it’ll be exercise for me and it’ll get me out of the house, as well as I wont be able to go when Steven gets a job so now’s the time. AND I have a weekend away with Mum and Linda later in the year for a rock and roll weekend, so I really HAVE to learn how to jive!
Robbie's birthday today. gave him a txt to say happy birthday. he replied "thanks can i stay tomorrow?" he he

Feeling Hot Hot Hot
Time I wrote a post.
Up to nothing much the past few days, just working and down at the shops. But I bet if I’d kept up with my blogger it would look like I’d been up to loads!
Absolute scorcher today, the sun only really started shining about 3.30ish, but when it wasn’t out it was still like an oven. I had just taken Dex in from the garden after being out in the clouds for an hour to give him his dinner. 20 mins later he was sleeping, so told Kai to keep an ear out for him while I went back outside. IT WAS ROASTING!!!! Steven was working in the garden, eventually getting round to digging out the weeds, how he did it I never know. I was sitting sweltering in the heat watching him work and wiping his brow every so often. Fiona came home and told us the temperature was around 32c! That’s HOT!
