    Kel - we're missing you too hun!

    Squidipa - Sweetie, I'm so sorry you're having a hard time ... sometimes I wish I was just around the corner from you so I could pop over and give you a hand!

    Rachel - YAY for your new car!!

    We had a shocker last night! Veygas was so good all day, I got ALL of the dishes done while he slept (about a week's worth! eek!) I got 2 loads of washing done and he also had a little bit of "happy awake" time in his rocker ... it was so nice outside that we even spent about 10 or 15 minutes in the sun! (him in his rocker outside while I took washing off the line!)

    But last night, I dished everyone's dinner up after DP left for work (this happens around 4.30 - 5pm), and started on my usual routine of bathing Veygas, feeding, settling and putting him to bed. Well, the other kids were making so much noise, the older 2 making the little one cry, Veygas wasn't settling cause he could hear all the noise, and I was trying not to lose the plot so that he wouldn't pick up on my angry vibe! Close to 6pm, I thought he was settled enough to put him down (he appeared to be asleep!) and I had to get the others bathed and ready for bed (mind you, I still hadn't had dinner yet!) Came downstairs to find Khaemon had been standing on the filter and playing in the fish tank! (yes full of water) His arms and sleeves were soaked! Not only that but the kids had also helped themselves to the leftovers which were to have been my dinner. On top of this, Veygas started screaming, but I had to get the others in bed ... Khaemon I put straight to bed after his bath and he was asleep within 2 minutes. Then the other 2 were being noisy so it was about 7.30pm before Veygas finally settled and went to sleep! Exhausting!

    OK, so that's my b!tch for the day, cause we actually didn't have too bad a night after that! Still getting used to 6am starts every day (cause if I get up any later, I don't get everything done that needs to be done before the school run!)

    Katti - can't believe that Innoxa stopped the mother and baby range

    Pixie - the Johnson's cream is called "baby soothing naturals" - it's a light olivey green coloured tear drop shaped bottle with a darker green lid. I get it from the supermarket in the baby aisle. It's also dermatologist tested and approved. I have to admit though that I haven't actually sat and read all of the ingredients

    Well, now that I have been backwads and forwards to this post for the last hour or so, I think I might post it!

    MM I found the green one in the supermarket yesterday and the ingredients actually look OK - but it was a bit expensive so maybe next time.....
    Rachel - for the new car!!!
    trying to get some housework done today and so far so good..... but need to get on with it before DD wakes up. Going to friend's for dinner tonight so not sure how that will go as DD has been a bit unsettled in the evenings. I think I have worked out the problem, but can't really be sure until she gets through an evening without being unsettled.....
    kel, Beema, StarBright and everyone ....
    ETA - about the photo thing, the Bear and I both take lots of photos, but for the first few days I wasn't too keen on being photographed, I had so many burst blood vessels in my eyes that I looked like a crack addict! LOL but now they have cleared up I have been asking the Bear to take more photos of me and Beth. I don't want to be the only one who doesn't get photos with her!

    Yeah, I found it a bit on the pricey side too, but you really don't need to use alot, and I found it soooooo worth it, cause Veygas looked so dry and cracked all over, like he was peeling after a really bad sunburn!

    on the upside of my day i got the new zealand stat dec's today!
    Hooray, that must ease your mind a bit!

    I was changing the sheets on all the beds earlier, and remembered that Kaliah has been totally dry in the mornings for about 2 weeks now, so I am going to eliminate the night time pullups!! Now I just need to get Khaemon to show some interest in toilet training He knows that everyone else (except the baby of course!) uses the toilet and alot of times he'll come in with any one of use (the other kids included!) but when we say "Khaemon go to the toilet?" he laughs and says no! But he'll name all of us and say that we go! Oh well, I'm sure he'll come around

    ETA: This only took me an hour and a half to post!! LOL!

    hehe, Veygas sucks on my chin!!

    Yeah, sometimes I get their names muddled ... my grandmother had 4 kids and 8 grandkids - sometimes we'd even get called the animals names before she got ours right!! But atm, I am getting everyone's names confused!!

    Our eldest was still in night time pullups til he was nearly 6 - I got sick of having to buy 3 lots of nappies, so I forced him to become dry at night!! We had two weeks of bedwetting, then nothing since! Same thing now - I'm sick of buying 3 lots of nappies again!!

    i have never had 2 kids in nappies before man that would cost me to much. Once had pullups every fortnight and at 15 a week we felt that cost. the 7 year old sleeps through everything thats the problem you could poor water on him a night and he would stay asleep he is EXTREAMLY heavy on his sleep!

    I got the two eldest kids to cook tea again the otehr day they done the salad and we had meat pies, well they ate and i didnt. Tonight they have steaming now
    carrot
    cabbage
    beans
    cauliflower Would have cooked otehr things but ran out of water a we have to cook with filtered water and there wasnt enough.

    on stove pumpkin, kumera, and patato. we have left over hot dogs so we will just throw it with that. Felt we needed to eat a proper meal. But thought why waist the hot dogs in fridge as other wize ill throw em out. So thought fine thats the meat tonight. I got Josiah to self settle gee i hate that but it did work. kids are infront of tv dinner on hubbie at work house dont look so great but meh. I still smell Its cause Josiah likes to get inside my robe and it makes em all hot. Tomorrow is the last of my so called full on week then its just 4 again int he house. As for sleep cant see that changing. Might try to get lushy to watch josh and i shower tonight.

    the silly creepy crawlys had the bomb again grrr. Saturday we are testing water anyhow so will take it back to shop. This is the longest silence ive had during the day in sooooooo long!!

    kel i am missing your posts and sasha tooo come back!!!!!
