It's finally here - SUMMER!

And about time too. We were wondering last week whether it would finally arrive. So the heatwave has hit, we're not going to the pool as Kate has a throat infection.
However she's okay, or appears to be I hope. I overreacted and we're on anti-biotics.
After her stint in hospital, I'm an overly sensitive mum now!
I'm enjoying the break but I have to get my ass into gear if I ever want to finish the PhD. Big timey. In the meantime, being a mum, which I'm loving and generally having a nice time with hubby.

Hospital, New Year and Hope

Well it's been a while since I've posted and heaps has happened. Just after I posted last time, Kate was stricken with a golden staph infection and was in hospital for 6 days. I only went home for an hour in the whole six days.
DJ and I alternated between looking after Kate or being with her, whatever, and working. Very stressful, she was a sick little girl.
Then we got her out and it was a flurry of marking and Xmas. The marking nearly killed me this semester. Urgh.
Parents came here for Xmas and I surprised myself with rather good cooking. I even impressed myself!
Kate is ill again today, with a temperature. We hope it's not too nasty this time. Gosh I hope she is okay.
