Townsville Mums #2

Thats a shame about your little people free day, mj ( now 8) had severe seperation anxiety ( even if i left a room or put her in her cot ), ive never in my life seen anyone else's kids as worse as what she was, i learnt over time and with the help of the health nurse in roxby to ignore it and techniques at home to resolve it . If you need the me time its something you should get on top of now, from my experience giving in makes it worse because they'll know they can get away with it.
my out and about day has turned to crap, im still in my pjs and i think it will stay that way today.. this week has been a nightmare one sleep and ben is home and ill get my sanity back!

Zander has never had seperation anxiety before...and he has been going to daycare for a couple of months.....he did have a bad night and may not be feeling well. I guess I like having me time but I also dont want Zander to be upset just for the sake of one day at daycare. Maybe something has happened to him while he was there that I dont know about..Im not sure...we will try again next week and see how it goes and then he is in Brisbane for 2 weeks.

Oh yeah, the screaming bubba at the gate when u leave them. I started bribing mine with a choccy bikky so I could RUN!!!! You could almost hear the car squeeeeeealing out of the carpark and a YIPEEEEEEEE as I cruise down the road.. (bad mother! hehe!)

Nicola - maybe it was just a bad night? Hopefully if he had a bad night you will be able to put him down for a ZZZZ and you can get some ME time... :)

Ruby - See below about Friday. Gym - would love to but $$$$ wise... I walk the length of Bamford Lane most nights, after the kids go to bed. I really have to kick start my fitness as I want a bikini bod again this summer... I bought a DVD the other day called "Relaxacise" - I wonder if it's just stretching and yawning?

CourtRach - the inevitable box of "Boy Sh"T" - DH has one too. I just hid it at the top of the cupboard for years. We finally went through it together and he still has his love letters from his ex's RAAAAAAAAA not HAPPY!!

Anyone seen Mummy19 in here lately?? She's hasn't popped her head in for a bit...???

Emma - LOL about boxes (we've been here 3 1/2 years and I still find stuff...) and also about sleeping all day - I wish! My DH thinks daycare days are for cleaning... I have a very, very different opinion... :)

So I'm up for this Friday - how about a gated park because my DH and I are going on a DATE saturday night (YIPEE!!! Grown-up time!) so I need to save my $$$. Plus I just worked out this morning with my mum that we are going to Port Douglas for the school holidays again YAY! So definitely need to do a picnic-park-playdate please!

I might still come friday depending on what my plans are with hubby, bring on 5 tomorrow night when his flight gets in coz as soon as he gets in the car, ive clocked off and dan murphys is my next stop!!!!!:cryinglaugh:
I go to the beach house gym usually around 3 times a week, its awesome there and the creche is great, the girls there are really friendly. I dont think ill be wearin a bikini but ill be looking alot better than last year ( post twin belly haha)
well, my darling twins have just woken after a horrific start to the day so i best be of to chill on the lounge floor while trying to watch ghost rider!!!!
xx

Morning/Afternoon, i went online to search for the baby and kids markets and it doesnt say they are coming to townsville everywhere but....was it in the paper?

I am up for a park meet anything to keep master Lachlan happy...apparently there is a gated one in west end that is huge and lovely...i havent been myself though...

I just started to use the RAAF gym yesterday so this is day 2...maybe by the end of next week i will be running on the treadie hehe!! I just want my body back so we can then think about number 3, after i have enjoyed summer :D and start to feel good about myself and go SHOPPING!!!! :dance:

Anyway hope your all ok and will hopefully see you friday :hug:

Hey girlz so can u tell me when u have your meet ups and where in townsville do u go i need FRIENDZ lol :D

Shauna - I noticed its not on the website too but my friend who is selling stuff there showed me the info pamphlet and date so perhaps they just haven't updated the website?

I really like taking my nephew to the enclosed park next to the waterpark on the strand but you probably know about that one, and I think its quite popular. Just a suggestion :)

EMMA - YAY!! I am excited for you! I hate when DH goes overnight fishing, let alone working away... with 4 kids!
Tanya - still no go on the licence?? Maybe you could get a bus there? (I have no idea how buses run). I was even thinking of taking the kids on the bus one day for something to do!! We'll probably end up in Ingham :redface:

No worries, there are a couple of us who catch up on Thursdays at the moment as mine are in daycare on Fridays. I just thought I'd just extend the invite so if anyone wants to they are more than welcome to join us! :dance:

Thursdays is usually the norm for meeting up....... This week its going to be friday at west end from what I read???????????

:hello: Ladies how are we all today?
Ok im getting confussed LoL, is there two meets happening? And were are they going to be i only have DD on thursday friday this week as DS is at daycare!

I dont think days have ever been set because theres always someone who couldnt come, this week fri just seem to fit for ppl but if thurs works then thats cool, its not a BIG deal.... so cayce, thurs 10.30 at the gated park near the bridge yeah?
sorry if i sound frustrated, im not having a good week and something so small shouldnt be so hard!

Hi.

I'm confused but that could be a lack of sleep. Are we meeting twice this week? If so, where? Please spell it out for me as my brain has decided not to function today.

Damn, bottle time again. I swear, Adam eats like a horse!

THURSDAY 1030 am at rossiter park, near stockies :)

FRIDAY 930 am at Lolipops :)

Does that help...

Cayce myself and couple of other mums from here and not meet at the gated park on a thursday everyweek, its nice, enclosed, shaded and fairly central :)

Hope to see you all at either one :hug:

I thought we were going for FRIDAY 9.30 at the WESTEND PARK, not Lollipops?
Either way, I can't do Thursdays.
Maybe we should draw straws for who's a friday meet and who's a thursday meet?? LOL

Anyways, I can't do Lollipops on Friday due to $$ but happy to do a park...

Anyone else?

Yeah im still gona go to the west end park on friday Miss W.. so ill see you there round 9.30. on the corner of harold and crauford sts, cutheringa park or something.
im not into lollipops atm, its to pricey for us ( we're saving for a 6wk holiday in nov) and i cant do much with the babies and the pram and everything its a bit much sometimes i cant just plonk a baby down when i need to feed the other one...
i have just under 4hours and i sign off for 6 days, the most ill be doing is bathing them, i really love bath time!! and layin on the couch hahahahahah... theres a movie on this arvo apoloctlipto or something like that.... has anyone seen it before.. OMG talk about fully on! good though.
after the crap week ive had ive still managed to finish a module, i just have to write a essay and im all done for that one.. i really wonder where i found the time coz the weeks gone by in abit of a blur!
hope everyone is well, see who ever friday.
:)

Yes there are two meet ups as there are people like myself who cant do Friday's but don't want to miss out (need to get kids outta the house) and people who cant do Thursday but again, would like to catch up!!
So if you can only make one or the other it's no problem and if you can make both fantastic!! The parks are different etc which will keep it interesting for kids and mums...
Thursday we are meeting at the park near Nathan Bridge, as Shauna said its gated etc... Lovely place. You enter via Kimball Street, it's right next to the carpark so very easy to wrangle 2 kids there lol
Ok, so 2 meet ups so people don't miss out if they cant make a particular day :)

Hey Ladies so use are doing the park Friday, have to count me out this time then! :( Em~ That sucks that your having such a bad week :hug: hope it gets better for you soon!

;)Hi Ladies!

Shauna83 - I shall see you at Lollipops on Friday at 9.30am! I don't have a licence and its within walking distance for me.

Well girls, I did body pump at the gym this morning and it just about killed me.
When Nicholas was having lunch afterwords, he kept chucking food out of his highchair and my thighs were too sore to even bend down and pick up the mess, it wouldn't have mattered, only we were at my friends!
My gym buddy goes away for a month next monday and I must somehow upkeep the gym in order to get rid of my 'bingo-lady arms' before the wedding.

Alright, I best go as the child has gone quiet, always a bad sign!! xx

Okay so just to confirm:

WannabeSkinnyMummy & Others - meeting Thurs at Kimball Street Park (10.30???)

Emma-Lee & Miss Wingbat & Others Welcome - Meeting Friday at Cutheringa Park, West End 9.30am

Ruby & Shauna - Going to Lollipops Friday 9.30am

Anyone else who wants to come along can!

Nicola - can u make it to Friday @ Westend? Anyone else? Jessica? If you need directions, PM me.

Hi Girls!!!

WOW!!! So much chatter going on in here!

Welcome to Jess, Ruby and Deena. I am Sara. Born and bred in Townsville. I have 2 daughters, Briley (27mnths) and Colby (13mnths).

As some of you might know, my partner and I have recently separated and I have moved back in to town. I am now living with the girls in Railway Estate. This might explain why I have been quiet around here lately. Moving with 2 active little girls is hard work!

So I will def be at more of the meets now I am closer. I will bring the girls along too the meet at the gated park tomorrow! (Sorry Shuana! Money is VERY tight at the moment!)

Emma - I saw you in the Townsville Eye yesterday! You looked a million dollars hun! I have been checking every week of the Townsville Eye since you mentioned you were going to be in it! hehe. I'd LOVE a makeover!

Well I will still be offline for a couple more weeks as my internet won't be connected till then. I will pop in everynow and then when I can find someone with the net.

I will have to exchange phone numbers with a few of you tomorrow!

Hope you are all well....I am def back on the mend!

Talk soon!

I am looking forward to meeting up with everyone again tomorrow at West End. Hope the rain stays away until afterwards. I did a driveby on the way to the strand yesterday, so I know where I am going!
Sorry Sara to hear about the news, but at least you are on the mend and getting better. I guess it's just a time thing.
There are so many new people on here lately. Welcome everyone!
We are trying the whole 'controlled crying' thing with Declan at the moment. We were rocking him to sleep in our arms but he is nearly 10 kgs and my back just can't take it anymore. So were are putting hiim down wide awake and he is usually gone within 10 mins!! yay!! This has been going for about a week now, so far so good.
Declan and I are flying to Bne on Saturday to see grandparents and other rellies, fingers crossed the plane ride is ok.
Emma - you looked great. Hope you got to keep the clothes ;)
Oh well, better keep packing.
Have a great wet day!
Elise
