Update on the Smurf

Yes, I have re-named Amy. From here on out, she will be known as Smurf ... Because she was born blue. Smart, huh? :-)

Seriously though, I didn't sleep much last night. I just had this feeling that if I fell asleep, something would happen. I don't know why. And I kept freaking out about the whole ICU thing, that's never a good thing when they send someone to the ICU. And she's only a little baby, so little and not strong and oh-my-god, what if the labor had gone on a bit longer, she could have died, and is she really going to be okay and I want to be there with Amanda, and ... what if this, what if that .... The thoughts just wouldn't stop! :-)

I did hear from my sister late this afternoon. Amy was moved from the neo-natal ICU this afternoon, and was in the room on the maternity ward with Amanda when she rang. My little smurf got her first bottle from mum today, and also had her first bath. She's got a fiesty temper, but is actually fairly quiet. She doesn't cry much. I found out she has blue eyes, just like her big sister. She's doing great, and the doctors are talking about mum and smurf going home tomorrow sometime, so that's great news :-)

I had today off work, and did bugger all :-) I went out for a while this morning to do some jobs, and driving home I went past the Bendigo Bank clock and the temprature on that was already at 35 degrees at 11 a.m. It got hot fast. I think we ended up getting to about 39. I spent the afternoon on the couch, just watching cricket, reading and sleeping. The phone woke me up a few times (I swear Telstra has made a fortune off my family in the last day and a half! Everyone's been calling mum & I to find out what's going on - not that we knew a whole lot!) but I had no trouble getting back to napland! I go back to work tomorrow, work Thursday as well, have Friday off, work Saturday and Sunday, then after work on Sunday mum and I are heading to Melbourne to see Amanda and Paul and their two gorgeous girls - Bug Eyes and Smurf. Ahh, my nieces are so going to hate me when they get older ... !!!!!!!!

Anyway, I better head to bed. Thanks for all the calls, emails and text messages yesterday and today. It was really appreciated.

Ok, I'm out! :-)

Now, admit it. At least one of these made you smile !!

If I could paint

how I feel
I'd draw bullseye

on your forehead

my anger is not misdirected

unless it somehow misses you

Time spent on hate,

is time gone to waste,

I watch you þoint and

click your life away

So cast the stones that

I'll gladly catch

and I'll

throw them right

fucking back,

I stand behind

the things I say,

you type

the words

you won't say to my face

Time spent on hate, is time gone to waste,
I watch you þoint and click your life away

¡† seems you've let me go again,
just like the day you let me in,
the best of intentions
you were never mine to begin with

So step away from the fucking screen,
see a world outside your scene,
maybe then you will know
and realize the lack of threat you pose

Coldplay - Fix You

When you try your best,
but you don't succeed
When you get what you want,
but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone,
but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
When you too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just watch and learn
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Today is a fine day for reality......

How do you

How Do You

How do you hold out your hand
And reach for help
Without fear that it will crumble like sand
How do you hold out your heart
And let the sun shine down
And push away the dark
How do you see the light
See through the clouds
And gain back your sight
I never thought it could be so hard
To say "I need your help"
And not feel like a retard
How do you trust someone
When you've been hurt some many times before
When will the trial and error be done
When will the depression go away
When will the solitude take a break
So you can look to a brighter day
How can you reach out to the ones that care
And let them know how your feeling
Without letting your heart tear
How do you do you do it
How do you just let go
How do you get trust to fit like a broken in mitt
How do you hold out your heart
And let the sun shine down
Without fear of it being ripped apart
How do you stop analyzing it
So you can leave it in the back of your mind
And not have anymore fits
I just want to know how
So I can rest easy
And let darkness take a bow?
