Dee (7th) - I keep meaning to ask how you how you have settled in to the new place - not just the house but the area itself. Finding new supermarkets, banks and nifty car parking secrets must be coming along pretty well by now huh? And as for the "disgusting dry heat" I so wish for some! At least your a/c would work properly (phew - it's steamy down here!!)
Jess fingers crossed for the Show! Do you and the kids get to go up?
Bath - jealous about the pool - I was in airconditioning all day, but since it was in the office it wasn't really so enjoyable LOL!
Nickers, sorry DH is sick too. Re: Unfortunatley for Dh this part may still be to come!- hopefully DH can clean his own nappy Poor guy - I had tummy bug when Flynn was about 2 months old - it sucks!
Jaspen, maybe we should send Sam and Flynn to Baby Boot Camp together? Maybe if Pat goes we can get a group discount!!
Dee, I can so now sympathise with the troble you had with Lachlan in the early days - the lack of sleep just kills you! Thumbs up to you for sticking through it all though - I don't know how you managed.....
Nickel - no offence taken! Control freak was my term I think LOL! I am focusing on letting go ATM. I said to DH that I only feel really "secure" and content when "everything" is "done" ("everything" and "done" being moveable feasts depending on my level of paranoia and control freakedness at any given moment LOL) So I am looking forward to the next moment of chaos so that I can just live it and not stress.
Funny thing is I always thought I was easy going!!
Mel, LOL at Martha Stewart! I have actually toyed with the idea of writing a book which is Australian's version of Flylady but I figure I need a couple more kids before I can test my "theories" LOL! Seriously I crack myself up sometimes!!
Amanda, send some of that mojo my way too - maybe we can bounce ideas off each other? Do you cook lunches in advance and stuff like that? Once again, I feel "secure" when I have a lunch stash in the freezer.
Ali - is the work just for this week or ongoing? It must be so hard with Tori being sick to have to leave her, but if you can get to the stage where you trust her carers you will pobably enjoy handing her over when she is clingy and sooky - I know I like leaving Flynn with his dad when he is like that (BAD MOTHER LOL)
ME : well as you and see I am in a good mood. My back isn't as sore as it was, work is going well, Flynn is kind of sleeping more and I had my first nipple nazi (ie: ABA) meeting tonight and they really aren't nazis at all!! Gosh there are some women there who I was in awe of - the things they have had to go through to feed, even if for a short time. I really feel so lucky to have had such a good time with Flynn. I am going to ease off on the comp feeds and cop it sweet with the night feeds for a few more days, and maybe try and express some extra during the day so he can have a late night top up of EBM. Worth a try I guess!
THANKFULLY I am not in the office tomorrow but I have a bit of work to do before mothers group so I might not be in much tomorrow. Have a good night girls, and sleep soundly Junie babies....
