Home...
We are home!!
The weekend in Auckland has been very busy, very good, very interesting, very long, and very very tiring......... But it was GREAT!
The wedding was beautiful!
The ceremony was just GORGEOUS!
Carla looked DIVINE!!
Kaylee looked BEAUTIFUL!!
And the words of the service (both the wedding and naming ceremony) brought tears to my eyes!
It was truely amazing!!!!
I have pictures, but they are still in the camera - I'll get onto that this week sometime!!
We got lost more times than I can remember!
I forgot to take tops to wear, so we had to go shopping.
Rhian was sick - literally - the night before the wedding, and Chris was in the shower with her at midnight. Then she was sick again at 2am, so spent the next couple of hours being cuddled!
Then she came out in little red marks at the wedding, which we thought were insect bites, but once we got back to the motel, we noticed that the marks had grown into HUGE kick ass welts, so we freaked out and set off to find an After Hours Dr.
Found it, but they had moved, and even if we found the new premises, they closed at 5pm. It was 6.30pm.
A lovely lady on the side of the road directed us to another one, and just to make sure we didnt get lost again, we headed back to the motel to get the trusty map.
It was at this time that Rhian decided to throw up again. All through the Hire Car and rented carseat!
EWWWWWW!!!!!
Back to the motel to bath her, clean the car and the seat and then head off to the Dr.
Found the Dr - they closed at 8pm - it was 8.03pm
I cried.
The Dr agreed to see her.
Thank God!!
Apparently it was an allergic reaction to something - maybe the grass? And apparently the welts and throwing up were totally unrelated!
Huh??
Anyway, we then had to find an after hours pharmacy, which turned out to be a few suburbs away, so off we headed.
It was then that I was introduced to the wonderful burgers at Wendys.
Wendys in Wellington only sells ice creams.
Wendys in Auckland sells burgers and chips!!
NICE burgers and chips!
Anyway, after filling the prescription, and our tummys, we found our way back to the motel again, and settled in for the night. By the time we got back it was 10pm!
Luckily there was to be no more throwing up to be done that night!
YAY!!
Next morning we met an internet friend of mine, Kate, at Maccas for breakfast.
See the pattern here??
Wendys, Maccas, did I mention Burger King already??
Anyway, we were able to stay for about an hour and chat away quite nicely before having to head off to the airport to catch our 11am flight.
HA!
Turns out that the 11am flight, was actually 11.30am!
AND..........
It had been cancelled anyway!
Some STOOPID bird had decided to fly into the engine and ground the plane for the day!
So, we were transfered onto a later flight, and had to sit at the airport with a grumpy sick child for an extra hour!
ARGH!!!!!
Finally got back to Wellington, and I had to go to work! SUCKY!!
After work was DragonBoat practise, then home to a hot bath - kindly run by darling husband!!
Then I made the fatal mistake of trying to give Rhian her medicine, which she promptly threw up (plus the entire contents of her tummy) all over me and her.
Time for another change of clothes for her, and me too of course!
Today was work again, Rhian seemed fine, so she went off to Julies - who incidentally DID get the job that she applied for, and starts on MONDAY, so we now have four days to find a daycare centre for my girl! Do you know how hard it is to find a centre with a vacancy for an "Under2 year old"???? ARGH!!!!
After work Rhian was still fine, Chris and I were not!
I have a crook tummy - probably from eating too much crappy food over the weekend, and am totally constipated - havent been since last Thursday to be precise. While Chris is the exact opposite, and I'll leave you to figure out what that means!
We are both NOT happy campers!!!
Anyway, we gave Rhian her dinner, and half way through she decided to throw it all up again...... what a waste! Hehehehe......
Off to the Dr again (3rd time in a week) and once again, they can't find anything wrong with her, so we left empty handed and no better off than what we were before we went.
But, she is sleeping now.
And Chris and I have made a deal that the tv WILL NOT stay on after 9.30pm cos we both NEED sleep!!!
So, that means I have about 4 minutes left!
And since I still need to send an email, I better get my butt moving!!
Tupperware party tomorrow night - might make enough money to cover all the Dr's visits! hehehe.......
Over and Out!
P.S. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

Argh you poor things! What a yucky few days - although I'm glad you tried Wendy's!! Yum huh? Be glad you don't have one down there!
That sucks about having to find a daycare centre for Rhian so fast. If you lived in Auckland, or we lived down there I'd have her in a min - she is just devine!
Hope she is much better soon!
