Hi folks! I lost the new thread, thought it had been ultra quiet Will try to catch up somewhat. Sorry I am so slack with personals, so so busy.......I really do read and keep up with what you're all at, and quietly cheer, cry and send out virtual hugs to you all as required .
Big WELCOME HOME today to Lisa and her new little princess
Just a flyby, subscribing. Feeling sick at both ends (this bloody getting sick thing never ends for us *sigh*) so Im ditching Uni to sit at home and feel sorry for myself (and do an assignment due tomorrow). Hopefully its just something I ate.
Freya - Hope you're feeling better soon And winter's on it's way...awesome time of year for illness Last year wasn't too bad for us but the year before was a SHOCKER.
Spring/Jayney Jayne/Deb - Well done on all the weight loss stuff. I have to say though I think 25kg is a massive amount for both of you girls and I hope you don't end up looking like lollipops I have managed to lose a few kg (about 4-5kg now I think) but it wasn't really intentional. I have joined the gym but my motivation wasn't to lose weight - I just needed some time for me and something to focus on that was just about ME. Of course I hoped to drop a few kgs along the way so I'm happy that's happening. I have a few weddings coming up and a killer outfit in my wardrobe that I can't wear with a bum this big so I might focus a bit more on what I'm eating in the next few weeks and see if I can drop some more weight. Jayne - I have always had lots of success with WW. Love it. I was going to join online but figured that money could go towards the gym - actually getting out of the house and doing something positive rather than spending more time in front of this damn computer!
Mako - You are not a failure and this is not your fault. When do you next see Dr S?
Janie - Great to hear from you. Looking forward to having you around more again when life settles down a bit for you guys.
Lisa - Thinking of you and hope you are recovering well and settling in with your newest princess
Lee - Sounds like you are doing it tough. It must be such a difficult situation to be in. I have also had counseling in the past and found it immensely helpful. I hope you find the same. Oh, and given your MIL's latest pearl of wisdom, I'm moving to France so my baby will sleep through the night too!
As for us, things are OK. My nan hasn't been so good the last week or so. She is losing a lot of weight, generally unwell, in a lot of pain and not eating Things are not as bad yet as they will be, so I am seeing her as much as I can (which is hard with two very busy boys) and trying to enjoy this time with her and also be there to support my mum. Mum has gone home now for a break and will be back the week after Easter.
DD is doing really well at school and distraught at the thought of the coming school holidays - there were actual tears
The boys are well but DS2 has still not gone back to the wonderful sleeper he was and I've just accepted that probably won't happen now and am trying to work at improving things. Won't bore you with the details, most of us have been there unfortunately, but last night there was only one wake up so I'm feeling a bit better today after a decent nights sleep. He is cutting another 4 teeth that I can see sitting in the gum, so I think it's going to be an interesting few weeks.
Better go. Off to a morning tea/playdate/birthday thingo this morning. Starts at 10am but I brought the boy home for a sleep because there's no way he's missing a nap atm.
