We just came home after buying a roomba (robotic vacuum cleaner). It rocks. Been meaning to buy one for ages. I'm thinking now that it doesn't matter if it actually cleans or not - it's worth every cent watching Linden play with it =)))) It works by detecting walls and where it has been, and Linden keeps confusing it by jumping in front of where it is going or laying in some random area that it is trying to vacuum, so it turns around and goes elsewhere only to find Linden again! Poor roomba =) Even if it normally WOULD work, I think there's little chance of it getting a good vacuum in while there's a crazy part-leopard confusing it! PMSL
Missy: How was your day of watching DVD's? Sounds good! Yeah I'm not too worried, just so sick of conflicting information when I go there, the LC is really good and maybe 1 or 2 CHN's the others are just judgmental biarches!!
SW: Roomba sounds great and entertaining!! I'd love one but I'm sure Jayden will have it broken in 5mins haha
Didn't end up making the pasta, we went to the Warehouse and bought Jayden a blow up pool (one big enough for us to get in too. We showed SIL's and they went on about...did you know its xmas soon why didn't you wait, why does he need it now, you won't be able to buy him anything soon he will have everything, blah blah blah....I cracked it cause I'm sick of ppl telling me I can't buy something for my own children! I couldn't give a $hit if they couldn't afford it when their kids were little. I was a bit mean though I said to Jayden in front of everyone that we can't keep the pool because his Zia's didn't think it was a good idea he had it and I'll take back his other xmas pressies too cause he doesn't need anything. 1 SIL said not to take offence by it and I said I will because its no one elses business what I buy MY son, we were just showing it because Jayden was excited about it. Another SIL later was whinging about her 19yo daughter wanting to move in with her BF, they already stay at each others houses so no different really....well she is too young to do that they shouldn't be staying the night with each other, I said Chris and I had been living together for 2 yrs at her age and she said Yes and I don't agree with that either, don't get me started on that! WTF!! Chris and I have been together for 11yrs! Ok we aren't married but who cares?? She is such a b!tch when she wants to be! There was more to it all but I won't go on about it, they just make me so pi$$ed off sometimes!!
Ok vent over......
I put up the xmas tree tonight, Chris helped with the branches and I am half way through putting the lights on....I hate the lights, it takes too long! I'll get Jayden to help with the decorations tomorrow. Well better go finish the lights.
Missy - Cute Santa photo! Congrats on the baby news in your family. I hope with the new year your family won't have such a bad run.
Tan - WTF!? I'm so glad you told SIL to shove it. What's it to them what you buy? Seriously. AND WTF at the nurse chick. It's those nurses like that, that make people not go back. For the stats. Ash is perfect. YAY! for no bottles with Jayden. It must have been so hard with the crying. You did greattt! We were lucky that it was easy to get rid of bottles and dummies with DS1. I can only hope that Bubbablue does just as well went the time it right. What kinda pasta are you making for Christmas day?
Oh yeah, Bubbablue is a piggie. He mostly drinks his full bottle of 200ml each time. Lately he's had a few where he has only had 180ml cause he's too tired to stay awake.
Kell - Woohoo for your DH letting you sleep in!! If only mine would think about me more then himself sometimes.
Mel - I hope the Christening went great. How'd it all go?
Zee - YAY! you're getting the rod out today. How'd the baptism go? I didn't know Laila's birthday was so close to Christmas. The leap frog thing you got Lucas sounds really cute. I'm still trying to decide what little things I can get Bubbablue.
Alright weekend here.
We got alot of our Christmas shopping done for the boys yesterday since we didn't have DS1 with us. He was at a Christmas party with my sister. It's like at a fun park thing with watr slides, rides, etc. Her work takes everyone there, so she takes DS1 along too. He got to see Santa and got a Tamagotchi. Strange present, I know.. but he's loving it. (I secretly am too. )
We also used yesterdays Elijah-free-day to put Christmas lights up on the house. We had to throw out heaps of old ones so we have to get a couple more today then it's done. Yippeeee!!!
I was so upset at DP last night. He just doesn't get it that I want to spend time with him. Even if it's just doing nothing. While MIL was here she even commented to him and was telling him that I just wanted to spend time with him. How could he not see it. It's so obvious. Yet, he doesn't choose to spend time with me ever. As many times as I say it to him he still doesn't get it. I feel like he takes me for granted.
I got the wrong farex the other day so we haven't started that yet. I couldn't be bothered to go get the right one yet. Lol.
We also got Elijah's highchair out and I cleaned it all up. Bubbablue seems to like it. Yay!
Pixie, Belle, Feeb, Sweetpea, Mez, and anyone else I might have accidentally missed.
Have a great day.
Wow you all talked up a storm when I last logged on we were up to pg 2 now it's 6 lol... Don't know if I can remember everyones post so forgive me if I don't respond to you in my personals.
Tenny - Oh hun these DH of ours really have no clue, spending time with them is all we want to do and they just want to do their own thing. My DH is the same, I have been wanting to go out for dinner for ages but he just doesn't cause I'm not ready to have someone else look after Isabel yet! I said we can go with her but he just makes up excuses. Woohoo on getting your Christmas shopping done you're very good.
Mel - I hope you had a great time at your nieces Christening.
Tannis - sounds like your SIL's have too much of their own opinions about your kids, don't worry about them they are just jealous cause you spoil your kids. We bought Izzy a pool too for Christmas one big enough that it will fit us too lol. What sort of pasta are you guys going to make?? Is Chris Italian?? Hope you and Jayden have fun decorating your Christmas tree today!
Missy - Congratulations for your brother and his wife being pregnant that is wonderful news can't wait to hear if it is twins
Kell - you are so luck that your DH let you sleep in, mine is really starting to pee me off as he really isn't helping me with Izzy just plays with her and then complains that he is tired
Belle - I'm really good sweet, how are you?? I love your new ticker photo your girls are beautiful.
Well not much going on here, Isabel has been really unsettled lately and I really don't know what is wrong. Always whinging when on her play mat and just really clingy??
Hope you all have a great day, I can hear the little monkey so better go.
Mez - Bubbablue has been really clingy, unsettled and just constantly whinging whenever he's on his play mat too. I'm not really sure what's going on either.
No ideas here either. Sorry I can't help.
Hey folks .... been MIA for a few days, busy weekend and today has pretty much just been a PITA..... could go into much detail but basically after spending more than an hour trying to persuade DD to go to sleep so I could get some lunch, I went into the bedroom to find that the rain was coming in at such an angle it got the wall, floor, bedside table and sheets all wet, had to change the sheets, mind you she still wasn't asleep so I fed her to sleep and made some toast, and she woke up before I even finished the first slice!
ANYHOO MOVING ON!
SW - lol on the roomba! sounds like a great new toy for Linden! how does it do on the vacuuming? I might be tempted, I'm not a fan of our Dyson upright. I mean what kind of vacuum cleaner doesn't have a retractable cord?
Tan - where do you get headbands for Ash? I have been looking but haven't found any nice ones for Beth. And don't worry I'm sure Ash is doing beautifully. Beth is such a chunk I'm starting to worry she is going too much the other way! Weighed her this morning and she is 7.2kg no wonder I'm getting tennis elbow from carting her around!
Mez - Beth has been a bit like that too today not sure what it's all about
Tenny - good on you on the Chrissy shopping.... haven't even started yet! Although finally got KK today so just need to wrap and post that one. about your DH.... hope he gets it soon!
Zee = glad you finally got that rod out, sounds like it was really bad for you.
sorry no more personals atm, grizzling baby ..... but hugs to all mwah!
Well didnt do much today. Went for coffee at a friends house then came home then talked to another friend for about 1/2hr. Got dinner prepared and then took Melissa to a job interview.
Just spoke to brother and they are only having one child but they are 10weeks 2 days... Im so excited.
Tanis hun I only watch one when DH came home. Not like when your by yourself. Wasnt that good. OMG tell SIL to shut the F up. How dare she tell you what to by. I agree its none of her business. So what if its xmas in 2 weeks. I gave Callum his bike early because he saw it. Not that I had intended to get him that in the first place its only cause jesse and Isaac had one that I got it. So I gave it to him and not at xmas. And you know what Tanis, Why, BECAUSE I FUC*ING CAN. Im sorry but tell her and anyone else to mind their own business. If you want to buy your children some thing then you do it and if you dont want to wait till xmas to give them then so be it!!! Ok hun im done...hehehe..
Tenny thanks hun I love the photos. Yes lets hope this is the start of good news. Tenny I havent evern put liam in the high chair. I didnt think he would fit. I might try it tomorrow. Mine has staps in it to stop him from falling over, does your have that too?? Im sorry your DP cant see that you want to spend time with him. I hope things pick up for you hun
Thanks Ayapi about the photos. Nope now twins but Im sure they are just happy to be pg.
Oh pix sorry your little sweet Beth is giving you a hard time. Its horrible when they dont sleep. I hope she gets better for you soon hun.
