I'm always around!
How is everyones fathers day plans going? I've just gotta work on a card with Ash tomor while Df is out helping his brother move.
Fathers day we are going to scatter FIL ashes at the beach so will be pretty sad day for Df. I'll still try make it nice for him with breakfast and spoil him.
Ajp- Hows her sleeping with the nose? Don't you wish you could just tell them to blow! Have you got the suction thingy. Your poor Bombers, I didn't think would be such an ass kicking, maybe next year, you've got good up and coming side.
Heaven- I've been keeping up with your other thread and I wish I had some advice! I was never patient enuff with the ncss. I know it can take time to see huge improvements. You'll get there tho, just atm it prolly doesn't look that way but it will. I tried watching yr vid on FB but some reason it wouldn't allow me.
Det- I've noticed just in last few weeks the bloody hair prob has settled but now along my hairline is all these short little hairs growing back, looks really bad and when it grows bit more its gonna look like I've got a really dodgy short fringe.

Arrgh - I am death warmed up here! I have had 4 hours sleep (Det - I don't know how you do it!!!) not because of the girls who have been quite good but DP kept me awake all night coughing!
We ran the childcare trivia night last night and it was fantastic but we didn't get to be until midnight, then he coughed until 1.30am and woke MissJ. So I fed her, went to sleep and then she woke again at 6am. I got up with her and DD1 woke up.
My mum babysat for them last night and both girls were as good as gold - typical :lol:

Hi guys,
Been really busy here with uni - assignments galore and still so much catching up to do with my lectures...I am meant to listen to them online because it's too much effort to attend them but do you think I ever get the time to listen to them??!?!?! NO! So I have like 12 or so lectures to catch up on - that's 12 hours of listening and note taking and then I have the associated readings to do too :wall: I am never going to make that time up lol so from now I am going to physically attend the lectures otherwise I'm going to be far too behind to catch up.
Leon has been the usual...restless, cranky and clingy :rolleyes: He's been having pumpkin for the past 3 days and LOVES it!! He won't let me feed him though - he yanks the spoon out of my hand abd feeds himself!
Ginger...THANK YOU so much for the book :D Now I have to find time to read it!! Loved the card too :)
Det, so sorry to hear DH is still sick. Hope he gets better soon. And you really need to get more sleep!! Can you allocate a day to do the paperwork and have someone mind boof instead of staying up all night every night to do it?!?!?!? Sounds like boof is doing some serious feeding! Roast dinners!!
Nai, it's good that you're responsible with the finances! I downloaded this budget program recently and have been entering everything into it. Last month was a shocker - most of our money was spent on the car and takeaway :doh: I really need to start cracking down on our spending!
Shell, looking forward to tomorrow - I'm sure we'll win!! Will give us a nice break too.
Kaz, hope J is better.
AJP, wow that's a lot of milk! Now you've got an emergency stash!
Heaven, I haven't read your other thread so I hope things are improving :hug: Glad to here G is liking her food.
OP, lol at I and the computer! I can't imagine how reliant on technology our kids are going to be when they're older!!!
Hi Ali, Meg, Pinny and anyone else I missed!
Going to massively concentrate on uni now. Have a good weekend and enjoy fathers day especially all the first timers!! xox
-
Hi girls - just a quick one - hope you all have fantastic father's days tomorrow (and that your DH/DPs do too of course ;) ). We are off to the PiL for a few days so I'll be MIA for a bit.
Nai - I know how you feel. Been up since 4:20am this morning myself :rolleyes:
Holly - you sound mega busy! Hope you can catch up on those lectures soon!
Shell - Be thinking of your Df tomorrow, although it will be hard, it might also be cathartic and healing at the same time.
-
lol at kazz up at 4.20am- i have been awake since then as well- we should have jumped on chat together!! Boof was awake since then - but i went shopping today and he slept for over 2 hours in the pram!!! OMG Never has he slept so long during the day!!!
Happy Fathers day to all the daddas!!!
Stay sane letting them all enjoy their one day of the year of gluttony!
mwah

Happy Fathers Day everyone!! We've been up and opened presents already, lol. And now DH is back in bed coz he worked late last night. DD's presents got some tears from DH, lol, softy. I went for sentimental. Used a poem someone suggested on here actually. Will post pics on FB later.
Jols- I hope Millie is feeling better!
shell- Hope your DH isn't too sad today :hug:
Nai- Hope you've got some sleep!!
Holly- Oh gosh, that is a lot to catch up on!! Bummer! Hope you can find the time soon, it must be hard.
Kaz- Have a good time away!
det- What a good sleep! Wish DD would sleep in the pram when we're out!!
Well, had a bit of a bad night last night and let DD cry herself to sleep :( Awful. I feel terrible now. I didn't plan on letting her cry to sleep though I just needed a break and was getting really frustrated and angry (DH wasn't home) so I put her down in her cot to have a break. She cried for 10mins (with me going in twice to check her, rewrap, and cuddle her a bit). Then she stopped crying and I snuck in to see what was going on and she was tossing and turning a bit but putting herself to sleep so I didn't let her see me and she went to sleep. I feel terrible though, she probably hates me :(
Not sure why my video link wasn't working on FB but I think I might have fixed it.
-
sara hun she doesnt hate you :hug: the best thing you could have done was just what you did, take a step back... we all need to sometimes for our own sanity :hug:
glad DH loved his presents!!
DH loved him-hand made by sophie at toddler group and some i love daddy books.
though it must have been mothers day cos.... millie slept through :o
BBL off tto the market and need to get ready!!
-
Sara- Please don't feel guilty at yourself, sometimes it is better for your sanity to walk away and if she fell asleep in the 10mins thats pretty good. Ash used to scream and scream and fight sleep and I'd go jump in the shower just to try block it out cause seriously it can do your head in as you'd know. Today is a new day, just gotta take each day as it comes.
AJP- woohoo, I'd love a sleep thru! She does do 7hrs straight but they always at the wrong times like 7pm til 2 or midnight til 7. I don't want to have to get up and make bottle in my sleep anymore!
Holly- Oh god, I hated lectures, I could never pay attention and listen in them. Hope you catch up, good on you for doing it all, must be hard. I have my saints top on today and so do both girls even tho Emily is meant to be an Essendon girl but we'll see about that.
Nai- they're always so good for everyone else. I like trivia nights I don't do so well tho so I join up with the smart people, lol.
Emily is so desperate to crawl, she rolls all around the floor to get from A to B but then tries to crawl and gets so cranky when she doesn't move, on the floor boards she starts to slide backwards. I know once she starts there'll be trouble cause she'll go straight for Ashleigh's toys and then WW3 will start!
-
Heaven - she put herself to sleep which is a positive. She wouldn't have gone to sleep if she was cross with you (at least that's my theory ;) ). Miss J often has a good scream about going to bed but once she gets it out she happily goes to sleep.
Jols - yay on the sleep!
I went to bed at 9pm last night and Miss J slept until 5.30am so I had a good sleep and feel better today! We are having a lovely father's day - DD1 and I made DP pancakes for brekky :D
Happy Fathers to all the other dads - hope all the babies and kids behave today!!

Hi ll,
Still around but still not doing so well.
DH has some gastro like thing and J has scarlet fever. It might account for how he has been acting lately. He is covered head to toe in a rash and has general unwellness. Didn't stop him from throwing the stapler, touching the printer and throwing a dish while at the doctors. The doctor observied him doing all this and reckons he is doing it to get a rise out of me. But what do I do?! How can I not react when we are in public?!
-
Thats the hard part isn't it Meg, at home its easy to ignore but out you have to think of others too, and you can't just walk out and leave at the Drs. Did you get an appt for the paed?
-
Yep - but the earliest we can get in in November!!!
PS - Shell as much as I want the saints to win, I would love a Bulldog Saints Grand final, so I am backing the pies today
-
hi girls.... have been down the coast for the weekend... Alex was a trooper - no probs with the portacot (I stripped the cot before we left, and used teh same sheets down there) although it he was very hard to get settled because of the sound of the water etc.
Got DH videos for father's day and got the black knight on blu ray. Alex's first swim class tomorrow. I've had heaps of computer problems.
:grouphug: take care girls...
hear you all with the money problems. :grouphug:
-
Meg- Lol thats what I wanted and Doggies went and lost there game, wasn't meant to happen like that! Now we'll play them in the prelim so thankfully we get a week break. Nov, bit of a wait, its a pain the wait list for specialists.
Tarkine- good to hear from you, how is your DH doing?
So tired today, had dinner with MIL took Em ages to settle in the portacot, she needs more practise in it, might use your advice Tarkine and use sheets blankets from home next time.
-
Shell - DH is doing ok, thanks for asking. one year anniversary next weekend, so he's going interstate to visit the grave and his dad's sister. I'm thinking about visiting MIL so Alex can have more grandparent time.
-
