Oh Bum RASH!!
January 18, 2007 — Nutty MummySo…
Not having a joyful day today - Ellia is teething her second tooth and has a bottom that looks like she’s cooked it on a hob top, she’s waking up and screaming everytime she does a wee so I can’t decide whether to go to sleep and get as much sleep as possible or give up the idea of any sleep tonight and just stay up until I fall down and hope that I’m so tired I can just get through the night in a fog of half-slumber
Hey, At least I’m still smiling.
It’s been a really good day otherwise - have been to the uni with my mum to help give the tutorial I co-wrote and it was really good! I’m now toying with the idea of teaching, seriously. It was great to see all the little children (18yr olds) writing down my every word and hanging on every syllable. I mean this is what I had children for and that hasn’t worked (see earlier posts on Rowan’s penchant for the word no) so this was great!!
A bit disturbing to hear some of the questions that were asked - seeing as the subjects were on basic things such as asthma, disorders, allergies and pregnancy to name some and one of these ‘adults’ asked what Cystic Fibrosis is. I was just shocked that someone can get to that age (or thereabouts) and not know this. Not even to know that it was a disease I mean, nevermind the details of it. One also asked what an ultrasound scan was so don’t feel too sorry for them.
So, big thoughts go out to my friend Burps, desperately and patiently waiting for her first born to make an appearance.. She promotes and will happily sell these great little guys on Flickr and is well worth a visit
I’m off to bed because I’ve decided if I keep having to press delete at least three times in every word, tiredness has surely set in. Yawn. Yes there see, I’m tired ![]()

i cound that using a facecloth soaked in chamomile tea worked - took away acidity from wee instantly. of course, didn’t have disps. otherwise literally smother with metanium.

Hi Helen - I will try that actually. Rowan never even got so much as a spot but Ella seems as if she may really suffer. so I’ll have a go. She gets lots of time without a nappy so I’ll try it then. Thanks!
