    Hello hello HELLOOOO to newbies & oldies & in betweeners (me?)
    CourtRach - BABY???????????? Happening yet?? My bubbas went 2 weeks over so erg!!!!

    IS anyone up for a meet this Friday morning? Or would you like to get to know me a bit better...

    I'm 28, SAHM, bit crazy (just loopy and excited like a puppy somedays), I love to paint, love to read, (don't get to do alot of either activity with kids), I have brown-ish hair, I'm a Scorpio (passionate, loyal, vivacious), GSOH (really, really kooky humour - I'lll laugh at anything!) I like long walks on the beach... he he. Sounds like a singles ad!

    It is just so hard to make friends when you have kids. I see other mums in shopping centres with kids my kids age, and I feel like walking up to them - but what do you say? It's not like at school. I tried Mothers Group years ago, but I was very young and impressionable, and I really felt my self esteem as a mother took a bit of a beating. But now I have learnt that I AM who I am, everyone raises their children differently, all children are different, and that is ok.

    It is just so easy to slip into a bit of a rut as a SAHM - as in literally, STAY AT HOME. I should be aiming for "Getting Out and About and Making Friends, & At Home Legend Lady".

    I would like to take a gander at Lollipops, haven't been there yet and my little man is busting his gut to RUN RUN RUN JUMP SCREAM RAAAA!! My ma normally drops in Friday mornings, but she's away for 2 weeks so I am up a certain creek... without a paddle... I would love love love to get out on Friday.

    I have to get going and clear up the yard, we got a new, very naughty puppy... ERg... ("But he is SOOOO CUTE!! He is soooo cute he just won't chew up a thing!")

    Hope all u ladies have a great day and a laugh at my singles ad...

    Hi Ladies i havent posted in here for a couple off days so thought i better stick my head back in and say HELLO ...How was everyones weekend? Mine was great, i had a really fun time, i ended up going out Saturday night and i drank far too much (that probably sounds bad, as i am a mum) but its the first time id been out in way over a year and i had a wonerful time until sunday morning, the last time i was that sick from drink was like when i was 16 LoL.
    Hi Emma- Yes got my car washed Lol spent like an hr doing, dried it and everything looked great, woke up sat morning and the dew had hit it ...
    Miss wingbat- love the add hehe sometimes it does sound like a personals site...ha ha..for lonely mums..
    Nicola- how did the interveiw on friday go?
    Shauna- my dp is defence i wasnt aware they had a mothers group :S
    CourtRach- Hows things with bubs going, any movement yet?
    Ruby- Hi, i have lived in tvll all my life and hated it when i was not a mum, love it now as i think there is alot around for the kids and it doesnt cost alot! I live in Rasmussen have since i was a grasshopper, just started renting out own place bout a year ago, rent is dear considering were i live but am in a new house! This can be a bad area "sometimes" but everywere can be just as bad! I think it will depend on were u want to be situated and were you find a house you like, good luck!
    Well i hope i didnt miss any1 sorry if i did! I go for my P's very soon i hope still need about 30 hrs and then we will deff have to arrange a meet, ill be keen to go anywere once im mobile!

    Mummy 19.... OMG if your a bad mum from having one night out then i should be in jail!!!!! I love being a mum, just love it ( okay sometimes it does get tedious but geeze hubby works away i have 9month old twins and 8 and 5 and i study with no family and barely any friends only who ive made on here) but i find you have to seperate being a mum and who you are as a person to truely be happy and maybe even a better parent, well i find i am a much better parent if i still do the things that made me emma, that define who i am and if its drinking at pub and dancing all night, studying or going to the gym then ill do it... but my kids never miss out.
    Everyones different but Ive never let the kids rule my life. I know that might sound bad, but im a much better mother for it. they have all the love, attention and toys they need to be good kids...
    main thing is you had a good night babe, and by the sounds of it you did!!
    geeze im rambling here, ive had one to many mint slices and i think i may just be a tad hypo!!

    Hey Emma i totally agree with you, kids can really change the person you are if you dont take control! I dont think its wrong for a mum or dad to get out everynow and again to have some "time out" just as long as your kids are in good hands and happy then i think its fine! I just hadnt been out in so long, tried 2 weekends ago but got anxiouse and backed out hehe! So made myself this weekend and it was so fun! I dont no many people anymore but i caught up some some old school greats so it was wonderful! I just no tho, that you do have some mums (i hope i dont offend anyone) but some women thing its completly WRONG to go out once you have children and say its "selfish" "childish" etc and that ****s me, because kids doesnt mean your life is over, it means you life has major changes but everyone needs time out...hope i made sense LoL and now im blabbing on grrrr..sozzy...
    any ladie on msn?

    Home, where else??
    1,177

    Gee whiz, go out for a morning shopping and come back to a full page to catch up on.

    Still waiting on Speedbump. Not a cramp, niggle or any darn thing to indicate s/he is interested in saying hi to the family. Talk about being way to comfortable. All I can say is the hospital better give me an induction date on Thursday as i am so over being pregnant!

    Hi Shauna, welcome. I have been here since Dec last year and being a Melb girl, really struggled with the humidity. Enjoying the cool nights now though!! Haven't been to Geckos yet, we go to a playgroup in Riverside Gardens.

    Nicola, poor boys. Has Zander just passed the cold on or does he still have it? Good luck with the interview Friday.

    MissWingBat, we love you already LOL!

    OK, I am up for a meet on Friday. Of course, that is if the little bundle of mine doesn't decide to make an appearance finally. How does Lollipops sound? 10.30am? This is a selfish thing for me as it means I don't have to chase Cooper around a huge area and its closer to home so no toilet break stops! Anyone interested?

    awesome stuff! look forward to hearing from you...
    we moved here just before new years and we searched for houses on Real Estate, Property, Land and Homes for Sale, lease and rent - realestate.com.au..
    dont know if that might help you.

    no i dont think its selfish or childish at all... maybe getting drunk and arrested might be..... now that could be a issue! hahahahaha....
    its all good so long as noone gets hurt... plus i love getting out and dancing the night away.. i cant dance though but i try pretty hard.. plus i like to fall over and get bruises... ( i dont really i just always end up that way)
    i had my dd when i was 19 and i was that mum who never went out and did everything text book and it didnt get me far at all, i learnt with my 2nd that it was easier for me, dh and everyone else if i still had a life, not always drinking but playing sport or bingo or whatever.. i hardly go out nowadays but if it was organised id be in!!
    haha.. man im really having trouble concentrating today, ive hit a road block with my assessment.. ARGGGGG...
    might eat some more mint slices!!

    I wish i could come Friday and meet you ladies grrr i get so darn frustrated being stuck at home all the time...
    Emma~ the falling over thing thats funny, my car was parked near The New Market as thats were DP was all night which his mates and i drove us into there and then friends picked me up and took me into town, anyway on the hike from the Cow to the car i fell over, think i scratched my need lol, fun times!

    We got one off those dial a drivers to bring the car home, they were great and cheaper then a taxi would highly recommend them, plus at 3am in the morning we only waited 5-10 mins yay hehe
