OMG... poor Trish can't cut a break, can she?? Glad to hear that Tehya is well enough to come home tho.
Nell - Yes... Neil was miserable on Saturday night after the cats lost (not by much, thankfully). I told him because he had yelled "Go Gats" at Freo that he must have spurred them on, LOL. Anyway, after the game he went down the street to get DVDs and some wine. He went into the video shop and they have changed everything around. N E way, he got the usual 2 new releases and 3 new to weekly but the new to weekly's had moved so the chick behind the counter made him feel like a moron for thinking they were new to weekly's when they were really new releases. He got in the car and sat on the wine cask! LOL Needless to say, he was reeeeeeallly ****ed off! He came up the driveway like a bat outta hell and I heard the horn in his car go off a little as he punched his steering wheel. Meanwhile, I was at home with Mum. Neil's mobile rang and it was his brother saying he was coming over (he was drunk). So, straight away, I start getting annoyed because it would mean that Neil and his brother would probably get into a session and have a late night again. Neil walked inside in a huff and it took a good few minutes to get out of him what was wrong. Meanwhile, I was thinking "Great! Now I won't get a chance to talk to him and tell him not to start getting ****ed with his brother so that his brother leaves". So, we ended up having a huge blue in front of Mum! Gabby had been a pain all day (Mum says it was wind but I say it was Mum picking her up as soon as she so much as grizzled!). Urrgh! A mess. And all because fricken Geelong lost, LOL. We sorted it all out tho - I apologised for getting angry with him for something that he hadn't even done yet,
Hope Matty behaves at Mum's group this week!
Nat - sorry to hear you haven't been feeling the best. I can understand that you are of two minds for your DH going and getting formula. Tell me to shut up if you like, but maybe it would be best just to look at it in a positive light. He did something pro-active that allowed you to get the rest you needed. Has it hurt Jacob? Probably not. Will he reject the boob from one formula feed? Probably not. The important thing is that you got a rest when you really needed it. Maybe it's just a problem because the decision was taken away from you? Like I said, tell me to shove it where the sun don't shine but there's not much you can do about it now so it's probably best not to stew over it. I am with you on wanting the kitchen painted. I did say I wouldn't complain once it was in and functional, but not I want the walls and floor done. I am never content! LOL - you guys are well ahead of us tho. We don't even have the paint!
Zola - you are right about some men having no clue about how our lives change when babies come along! Even after we pump them full of info! Goes to show how much they listen to us. I have told Neil several times that he should read up on things (uno... get "So You Are Going to Be A Dad" books). Of course, he didn't so that's what he gets for being ignorant I say!! LOL
Sarah - Maybe you will just have to make a weekend to yourselves and tell everyone to nick off! Uno... pick a weekend and tell everyone that you are busy. If something crops up, you can't make it. I have actually cancelled on a couple of things now and I felt sooooooo good when I didn't have to go anymore! Not like before where I felt so totally guilty. Although, they are pretty huge things you have coming up. Maybe only stay for a short time? Thanks for filling us in about Tehya. I was going to SMS Trish but I didn't want to hassle her.
After Gabby outright refused to sleep on Saturday, she was as good as gold yesterday. Literally up for 1 hour, down for 2. I got SOOOO much done. Vacuuming, dishes, baked a cake, made choc mousse for dessert, mopped the floor, got up to date with the washing, cleaned the bathroom (even got to scrub the shower caddy!), cleared out some of the crud in the spare room and cleaned the loo! I went nuts! The house still isn't 100% but it is much nicer now. So today is a rest day I think!
