My DH says to me every weekend: "which day to you want for "'you time?"... I generally take a Saturday... not always... sometimes i forfeit it because I want to spend time with him... we never get a chance to go out, just the 2 of us. But at least he understands.
Bit of a WooHoo: Dh just realised that he accidentally put a $700 business lunch on our credit card (about 2 weeks ago) instead of his corporate card that the bank pays... we've since cleared the debt entirely... we didn't even notice the $700. Today he wondered why the lunch didn't show up on his corporate card statement... then he realised his mistake... and now we are going to have the money reimbursed into our account. LOL I know it's not extra cash... but it seems that way... we are so slack with our finances it's ridiculous... God knows how we stay afloat. I think it's because as I get older I'm getting stingier. Also I've always been a believer in buying the best quality you can afford... so all the stuff that DH and I bought when we first got together is still working... we haven't had to replace much. Like Nic said: she bought a good quality tree, that's great, so did we... still as good as the day we bought it 11 years ago. Also hint: buy unbreakable decorations... doesn't matter how closely you watch them kids will break them. I loved Mel's idea of going to The WareHouse and buying rolls of that ribbon with inner wire that can be formed into bows and put on the tree. I'm definately going to try that this year!
Well we had another pretty good night last night, Lachlan went to bed at 7, slept until 11.30pm then had a bottle and wasnt fed again until 4.40am!! he woke once and i just put his dummy in and he went back to sleep.
He had an hour and a half sleep this morning and a two hour in the middle of the day so things are really looking up for me at the moment!!
Nickers - i can totally understand you being ***sed off at DH. I told DF today that Lachlan had slept for two hours and instead of him saying "hey thats great!" he said "Gee youve had an easy day then, What have you done??" They honestly just dont get it!!
Simone - I hope Annelise gets better soon, at least now you know what it is and with the medication things should start to improve!
Kel - i got the piccies thanx! they are adorable!!
Cee Cee - That lady from tresillian did what i had to do in canberra, Sleep Feed Play routine its working well, and at night they told me NOT to feed him under four hours. if he wakes, leave him to cry for a bit so he doesnt get used to me going in straight away, then go in, pat, put the dummy in until he is quiet and calm and then walk out, just continue to do this until asleep or due for a feed. When i was there they told me to leave him cry until he was distressed but i cant do that, i dont think its right, i only leave him for a couple of minutes (enough time for me to drag myself out of bed in the middle of the night) I hope it works for you, but honestly, the feeding him to sleep every hour thing was not working and stopping that has made all the difference i think!
I had best go, DF is bringing a BBQ chicken home for dinner tonight so i dont have to do anything for dinner! I have been cleaning the windows today, i should be relaxing but hey, i feel better when i have acheived something.
the other good news is that i sold my car! i have been trying to sell it for about 12 months now but its gone. Problem is that i need to find something else, a family car! We are on the lookout so hopefully something will come up before christmas!
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get lachlan to eat his cereal in the morning? He used to love it until i introduced Pumkin at night, now he is right off his cereal and i have tried mixing it with a bit of pear but still no go (even though he will eat the Pear on its own) i dont know what else i can give him for breakfast??
