Ok - it's a miracle - I've got 3 boys asleep!!! (Louis rarely has a sleep these days!) I'll try and catch up a bit!
Kel - Glad you had a good time at Adelaide! I hope works going well! Big hugs on Lily not sleeping well...I don't blame you for being exhausted! I guess the best thing to do is just look to the future and know she wont' keep it up forever...I know it doesn't help much now but obviously she is just one of those kids that needs to have that comfort.
Bugger at your mum not wanting to help out...it's not that hard if one wakes up - or even 2 - she doesn't have to keep them in a perfect routine while your out...Have you explained to her that you really need the break?? Big hugs...
Jen - Glad you guys are well! Washing...lots of washing - about 2 loads everyday to keep up, some days 3...crazy!!!
Dylan is often grumpy after he wakes up from his sleep...especially if I take his dummy off him! Sometimes he just stays grumpy for the whole rest of the arvo and sometimes he perks up quickly - food usually does the trick most times!!
LOL on the posh and becks comment - I like it! Hehe! I do think it will be nice when they're older and don't want anything to do with mum (when I'm embarrassing) and the boys can go bush while I pamper myself at home (or a day spa??) Hmm...it's more likely that I'll be bush with them I suppose...I wouldn't want to miss out any fun! LOL!
OMG at your dry cleaning bill - thats more than my wedding dress cost - LOL!!!
A pilates class sounds like a great idea! I'm thinking of starting dance classes again (hmmm - been watching to much so you think you can dance? I think!) There's a class about 10min away and I've been thinking about it...would be great to get out and do something on my own that was exercise not work and I'm sure I'd love it!! Anyway...we'll see!
Mel - Would love to have a catch up soon! It has been far to long and I would love to meet your little princess!
Olivia sounds just gorgeous with her talking...awww. Yeah on Becca having good sleeps as well! Sounds like you're doing really well!
Yeah at losing weight! It certainly makes you feel good doesn't it! I've lost a bit but not from exercise so I still feel wobbly iykwim?? If I start exercising and toning up I'm sure I'll feel much better! Another thing to fit into the day though!!! Let me know how you got with a p/t if you get one - I'm thinking of doing that course next year as well!!
Hope Beccas hips end up being ok! How's Olivia now with her wheezing?
Disgirl - How cute Ben getting a beer for Craig!
Yep - Louis is loving kinder - he has his first full day tomorrow - 2 1/2 hours! LOL! He's very gorgeous though and misses me and the boys - the first thing he does when we pick him up is give Dylan and Ethan a cuddle!! I felt a bit emotional leaving him since I'm not even used to him being in childcare of anything but he was fine of course. They get to that stage when they're so ready to go for the stimulation that you're happy for them to go as well...I miss him when he's gone though! God knows what I'll be like when he goes to school1 LOL!
Yeah at getting up and to the hospital by 9.30am! woohoo! I still struggle to get out of the house by 9...we have playgroup at 9.30 on Thursdays and I just made 5min late last week...mind you I didn't get out of bed until 8am! LOL!
Sounds like you're doing really well - good for you!! Housework and all!! I've still got the housecleaner but we can't really justify the money anymore...It's so great to have it cleaned but looks like I'm going to have to start doing it myself again...grrr!
Hope all turns out ok with Jarred and the extra tests...
Yeah at joining the gym! Thats great you've got you mum to help out and your sister to go with!! Should keep you motivated!!
Kaz - Sorry to hear you haven't been well. How were you yesterday in the fires near Belgrave?? I'm not even sure if it's still going?? I think everyone got a big fright by that one!!
Bugger at Pips biting! I would definitely just emphasise the being gentle like Mel said. I'm sure persistance will pay off and he'll stop soon!
Aww poor bubs being so sick...hope he's all better now!
Well, where to start! It's been a few weeks! We had my Dads wedding on Black Saturday up at Yarra Junction - it was very eerie with smoke everywhere and embers falling but we managed to all have a great time. I left Ethan at my sisters house with mum though as it was just too hot for him to be out in it as you can imagine in 47 degree heat! LOL! The boys managed really well though. We were all oblivious to the tragedy that was happening at the time which was probably just as well for my Dad and his new wife! Thankfully we haven't been affected by the fires...
Yep - Louis has started kinder and has resumed swimming lessons - he's doing really well at both!
Dylan is still a cheeky monkey - has the worlds worst temper and loves to say No more than anything else. He's talking so much now and we can understand him so thats great!
Ethans well - he's settled down a lot more now and for the last 3 nights has actually gone to bed around 7pm - the first time since he arrived I think!! Last night he slept from 7pm - 7.20 am with no feeds so I've got nothing to complain about - LOL! He's very gorgeous and gives us lots of smiles!
We started playgroup last week which the boys loved! I met some really nice ladies as well and felt very welcome which was nice!
I'm well...Starting to try and get my party plan businesses up and running again...we really need the cash as even though interest rates are low we're making extra repayments - about $800 extra a month!! I'm very proud considering we're only on 1 wage at the moment but some extra cash will be great.
I've decided to study next year and do either a cert or diploma in Life Coaching. I've been looking into it heaps and I'm really excited. I also want to do my fitness certs so I can be a personal trainer...want to work with women and those with babies/kids that can come along to the exercise...it's so hard for people to get to the gym with kids and especially when you have to pay more for creche when you have more than 1 child! Then I can team it with the life coaching and provide an allround service for Mums/women to get the most out of life!!
(Sorry for the rambling - it's all in my head at the moment and I don't have time to act on any of it but am excited for it at the same time - LOL!)
Ummmm....Not much else happening really...we're heading away for our annual holiday on the weekend - a whole weekend away! LOL! Just down to a little place called Toora...nothing exciting there but I've never been and while the kids are so little there's no point doing anything too exciting! We're staying in a cabin thing in a caravan park and they have a heated indoor pool and playground and stuff - all that we need really! We're hoping ot head up to QLD at the end of next year to go to wiggles world before Louis gets to old to enjoy it!
Ok...sorry for the rambling - it probably makes no sense - it's taken me all day to type!
