11 Years of..

It has finally happened.. after 11 years of parenting, our perfect run has come to a savage end..

..in the form of little Miss J4..

and she was possibly trying to kill her other part of evil- little Master J3.

J4 broke our tv. She pulled it off the cabinet, narrowly missing J3 in the process. Whilst it is not completely destroyed, viewing pleasure from it has been greatly diminished, due from, of course, the massive amount of vertical black lines that are now the dominant portion of our beloved tv.

We had used tv straps in the past for J1 and J2. Not once did they even consider that the tv would look good on the ground level. So we thought we were safe.

Never assume anything.
That is our lesson.

Needless to say, when we get another tv, it is going to be mounted on the wall, up and away from the reach of cyclonic toddlers.

At least in doing that, we might be able to save some of our sanity. And also a few televisions.

..A Covid situation..

23rd March 2022:

We got Covid. All 6 of us..
How hard it has been this past week, struggling and juggling 4 ill children, and keeping up with their entertainment needs, when all we wanted to do ourselves, was crawl under a rock and let the world pass us by..

The saddening combination, of missing out on school, work and routine- all because of something that has been likened to the flu in recent times..
Admittedly, I am extremely glad that we didn’t catch any of the earlier strains, but still, this last week hasn’t been a cakewalk.
We have all had our fair share of fevers, chills, sweats, appetite loss, endless headaches, fatigue, irritability, snot, coughs, sneezes, diarrhea, constipation, screams, and cries..
But in all honesty, it has been the vagueness and brain fog that has really been the worst part I feel.
The waking up and feeling like you haven’t slept for weeks, the short term forgetfulness, the day long fuzziness, and the disassociation – where you are there and conscious, yet you feel so far away and out of touch with yourself.

It is a flu that I feel, it is safe to say, that we never want to see again.

My Beautiful, Gorgeous Wife (D2) –
She has been nothing short of truly amazing throughout all of this. Tending to the needs of everybody but her own, I am the luckiest man alive to have such a special Soul by my side. She is the most dependable person on the planet, and there is nothing that makes me more happy or proud, knowing that she is going to be the same rock she always is..
Thankyou hunny – from all of my heart!

Hello world!

Welcome to jaysndees dot com. We are excited to have you here and share in the utter craziness of a world that is Ours.

This blog is under construction for the time being. There are a small number of external forces that have placed this life project lower in the chart of priorities, but this is being remedied to once again be a grand focal point.
First though, we should actually introduce Ourselves, as it is the entire reason that we are Jays n Dees.

What We Are:

Early February 2022:
We are a completed bunch of functionally disfunctional family members consisting of a party of 6.
We are:
2 Adults, D1(M,38) and D2(F,30), each with Our own unique career paths and life shapings that have gotten Us to where we are now. We are both Earth Elements in the Zodiac, and are both well aware of how lazy and stubborn we can be sometimes.
This Life has blessed Us with:
4 beautiful children – who are a Water Element J1(M,10), and 3 Earth Elements – J2(M,6), J3(M,approx 22wks,-Twin1), and J4(F,approx 22wks,-Twin2).
Life is busy, hectic, scattered, and wholesome, and there are plenty of tears (and cussing), and laughs and moments, oodles of learning, and so much more.

What Our Blog Site will be about:

  • .. Our Current available categories (Feb 2022) ..
  • CRYPTO – any post we do that encompasses either Our Faucet, or cryptocurrency in general.
  • JOURNEY – anything relating to Our daily life as we add to the Blog.
  • WRITINGS – poetry, songs, musings, or anything else of Our writing that has the intention of a more personal meaning.
  • RANDOM – anything that doesn’t actually fit into any other category cleanly.
  • WOODWORK – anything that the kids and/or I (D1) build or design for building.
  • CLOTHING – anything that the Wife (D2) designs or makes for Our children or for sale.
  • THE LAND – pictures or writings of anything to do with this. It might be sunrises or sunsets, cloud formations, nature and animals, or plants from in and around Our gardens.

.. More categories will be added to Our lists as we find appropriate topics ..

  • .. Our Planned Future Developments (Feb 2022) ..
  • Designing and sewing garments when time permits
  • Finish styling of Blog
  • Add content to All Categories
  • Keeping Our children happy and healthy
  • Keeping Ourselves happy and healthy
  • Adding coins to Our Faucet, and also finish coding for incorporation into Our Blog

.. More developments will be added to Our lists as we finish previous ones and think of others ..

.. Our UnPlanned future developments ..
.. This is a section made to make us think a little.. For as soon as we add anything to this list, it then becomes a ‘Planned Development’ and then will be moved to the allotment above. ..Stay tuned ..
