Comment on i just can’t contain this feeling that remains by Shannon
» ‎ Comments for the twinkle in my eye

She really is beautiful - and I’m sure she’s super smart too, but that is harder to capture in a photo.

Perhaps one of her with glasses, looking very studious, while propped up in front of a book containing all the laws of physics.

Guitar Owner

Guitar Hero 2 Party Ticket by Rob Boudon

I could always justify to myself the buying and selling of guitars and having three of them because I was a guitar player (if never a guitarist) rather than simply a guitar owner.

I told myself, rather foolishly, that when I stopped playing I would sell them and that they would never be just sentimental possessions.

Now I would go most weeks and some months without playing a single song which makes me wonder if they should go. But I do have a sentimental attachment so instead I will commit to playing for half an hour each week. Not only will it makes me feel like a guitar player but I think it would do me good generally.

Lesson for the day - do.

Just like you I am an imperfect parent who snaps more than he would like. However I love Foozley Boo to bits just like you do and that goes a long long way.

Comment on Beer Can Chicken Roaster by J-Le
» ‎ Comments for Joanna's Ramblings

i’m completely intrigued… can you really roast a chicken with a beer can up its cavity? can you do this in the oven or does it need to be on a bbq? i am cooking a roast for guests next wednesday and this idea is really tempting to try…

OMG! I am not telling John about that, he’d go straight out and buy it!

I’ve done all the same. I think everyone I know has had days (or weeks) like this with their 3 year olds. If I didn’t have my vegie patch to escape to (with him in tow), I’d go really nutty some days.

Big Wheels keep on turnin’! by Scott Kinmartin

I am incredibly proud of how Nicky and how she is going at the moment. Despite having various challenges, not least of all a three year old who never draws breath (like his Dad), she has maintained a positive and friendly disposition for a while now.

I don’t doubt that there will be times when we will misunderstand each other and be snippy but it is encouraging beyond words how well we are all going at the moment. Perhaps there is something to this business of concentrating on being happy.

As you can probably guess I just love her to bits.

Lesson for the day - accentuate the positive.

Beer Can Chicken Roaster

We have actually had beer can chicken and I was amazed to find that you can buy devices that are all set up for the can - i saw one at BBQs Galore that wasn’t quite as swish as this one.

Comment on how to roast a chicken by Fiona
» ‎ Comments for Joanna's Ramblings

How great is Christopher Walken…love that site, too.

John has one of those “jiggers” that Walken uses to cook the chicken. Our house is a bit more Homer-esque though - John puts it on top of a can of beer to produce his trademark “Beer Can Chicken”. I think I like the sound of the pears/chicken version better!

Nicky the Grouch
» ‎ Just Nicky

I have been exceedingly grouchy today. I don’t doubt that I am not much fun to be around right now. I just want to be left alone in peace and quiet and, of course, I’m not. I have told Finn to go away, to shut up and even snarled at him once. I will pay the therapist’s bills when the time comes to atone for my sins.

I can’t claim tiredness as my excuse. Last night I went to bed at about 8pm and Mark sat up to do the late feed with Leila. I got up briefly during the night when the baby got herself wedged in the corner of her cradle and then stayed in bed until she woke at 7am. That’s the most sleep I’ve had in months.

In my defense, though, I will blame Finn, pathetic though it is to blame a 3 year old boy for my grouchiness. This week he has seemed particularly pesky in the way of having to be asked repeatedly before he will do things, giving a contrary response to pretty much everything I say to him and making a mess or destroying something at every opportunity. My patience has worn thin and frayed. Now there’s a hole in it through which “go away” and “shut up” are escaping. If Finn were a little older “just wait until your father gets home” would feature too.

I am looking forward to Mark getting home. Finn will be excited to have his dad home and that will probably make his behaviour worse, but it will give me an ally. Right now I feel rather outgunned by the 3 year old.
