Well, here I was saying that I would have more time to spend on BellyBelly while DH is away, and this is first chance I've had in two days! Crazy stuff. Had an all day rehearsal/gig with the Australian Girl's Choir, and I decided to stay at MIL's because she looked after Charlie for the day and I didn't want to wake him up. Spent a lovely morning there, a lovely afternoon with my brother and his fiance, then came home and put Charlie to bed, and here I am! I really should be doing housework.... nah...
It's weird having DH away. Usually it's ME that goes away, so at least I'm not sitting at home pining for him (like I am now!). No, it's not that bad - I'm just making sure I stay busy so that the time will go fast and he'll be back with me in a jiffy. Pathetic, I know... I have to tell you about the saga this trip has been. We arrived a Brisbane International on Friday morning in plenty of time for the flight, thinking that DH would be able to check in and then spend an hour or two with me having coffee. No, no, no... the flight was cancelled and he had to spend 1 1/2 hours in a line trying to organise another flight. In the end we only got to spend about 10 minutes together - at least I didn't have time to get all teary! His friends thought I was mad when I yelled "I LOVE YOU!" 3 or 4 times as he was going into customs. Anyway, I hadn't heard from him until this afternoon (was getting worried, too!). He called to tell me that, even though his conference is in Greenville, North Carolina, he was in Chicago and his luggage was in SOUTH Carolina! Turns out his stupid travel agent booked them for SOUTH instead of North Carolina. I think everything is sorted now, and everyone and everything will be where they ought to be in the morning, but he will be rushing to get to his conference on time. It's madness! Maybe this trip wasn't meant to be.... I hope everything goes ok from here on in - I'm worried that he might be jinxed! Just had to tell you about that schmozzle.
Poor Ryley and his eardrum! I can't imagine how awful that must have been for the poor thing. I hope the asthma medication works. I have asthma too and I also get shaky after having ventolin - after a while of taking it the shakes get a bit better. Hope you won your netball, Pee - it's great that you and DH have something fun like that to do together.
Hi Mooshie! Thanks for the tip about the asthma. I know what you mean about doctors - I had suffered from a medical problem for about two years and had gone to 3 different kinds of specialists and 3 GPs in that time. They all said different things and immediately dealt out the drugs, which only made matters worse. It wasn't until I took my health into my own hands and did some research and visited a naturopath that things started to improve. I will certainly be careful with any doctor's advice I receive - even from very trusted sources. After all, WE know our bubs best, and a 15 minute consultation can't provide doctors with all the little bits of info we know about the bubs. I'm glad you trusted your intuition.
Did you get a night out with DH, Mitch? I hope so. Yay at the $17 jeans! I went shopping today and the sales are on - and I saw about 3 items of clothing that I bought last week at the full price that are now on sale! :evil: Not happy, Jan. I know what you mean about the kid's shopping - I have to force myself not to go into Pumpkin Patch (we just can't afford it!) everytime I walk past. I'm glad you had a good time. LOL at Jessica singing. Soooo cute!
Am off to check out your site now, Kelly. Wish I had the motivation to do something like that - it's a wonderful thing to do. A great way for interstate relatives to keep updated, too.
Anyway, must do that housework I was talking about earlier. Haven't even made dinner yet! I am such a slacko today. Sorry this post is so massive. Hope you're all well, and sorry if I missed anyone.
BTW - my little boy is 10 months old today! I don't want him to grow up any more... but if he has to at least he's doing in it the cutest way he knows how. :-)
