Woohoo - I'm first! That's all I have to say!

[storm]

rofl, I hope this isn't the highlight of you day!!
I have a slave today, Dylan got suspended from school, again so I am making the blighter work his little keister off.

[soul]

lmao at both of you!!

well Chloe has officially left school and starts tafe in january! I am furious at her but the only way she will get the education she needs is to do it through tafe. School to her is for social reasons not to get a education, well more fool her, she is not getting out of it. She will do volunteer work bewteen then and now and can still work towards her dreams of working with horses. We were at our wits end with her and came to a compromise abou it, praise thy lord for tafe.


how is everyone today?

[soul]

on my chest and he is no light weight anymore. By the way I am now a student Doula

[shazza]

oh wow soul good on you
how did you get on to that?
jess used to be like that i never used to be able to get anything done i still dont unless she is asleep so i have 2 hours everyday to do everthing.

[~Jo~]

Jess I havent had my teeth whitened with a dentist, ive just used the cheapie dentist ones that work ok, I know others that swear by the dentist treatments though.

Stormie honey, hope you can breathe under all those boxes..when do you leave???

HI Kat hope the m/s isnt too bad for you.

Soul, thats great you enrolled in the doula course. Did you go the Optimum birth one? I find it really user friendly and easy to ready and while they stipulate they want 80% and over, i got 100% without really trying so its nice in that way.

Well I have a weeks break from uni. Im so glad, honesly with both of us studying full time and Darrens heavy work load and the kids and all their stuff its easy to feel a bit overwhelmed. We leave to Rotto Sunday morning, and apart from a book i have to critique for sociology i am doing nothing else..YAY!

I hope everyone else is travelling well

Jo

[castle]

Jes, the cheapie whitening gels will work fine. Give it a go. BUT if you drink coffee or tea regularly, your teeth will yellow up again. Also, tried to PM you but your mailbox is full!
Soul, exciting about the doula course! It's good that you've experienced several (!!) births of your own, and different types (normal & c/sec). You will bring so much to the role of doula.
Stormie, love that you are looking for your missing egg! I'd like to know what mine are up to as well....
Jo, enjoy a great break. Hope the book you have to critique isn't too long. At uni I had to critique one book which I found sooo amazingly boring, that later I kept it by my bed and read the first para whenever I couldn't fall asleep!!

We celebrated DD Sophie's anniversary this week. This is the little girl we lost at 18 weeks when I had an abruption due to undiagnosed infection. We went out to the cemetery but i couldn't cry all day, even tho I wanted to. Oh I hate that.

[soul]

Im still alive if anyone noticed, had a week form hell, and am feeling very sad tonight. Chloe-Mae enrolled to do year ten yay, so long ass he can get a good education I am over thre moon. At least there will be no *****iness form school kids and no peer pressure as bad either, she might actually get through it with flying colors! She also got into a horse ranch!!

[shazza]
