Flynn

Nic we are all down with a cold here too Kai wasnt very well last night she ended up in our bed all night... I so glad your DH is ok mines the same never tells me about the scary stuff until he is home or most the time I dont find out until one of his mates comes over and they talk about that kinda stuff so I have to sit there with my mouth wide open... Men cant live with them wouldnt live with out them...

Dee you are making me want to move over seas lol ( not that I could move again )

Mel - have to say you made me laugh about the nits comming from the tropic's its something you have to live with poor may had them the whole time she was at school as the just breed like rabbits up there.... You dont have to wash all there bedding you only have to wash their pillow case and towel as lice cant live with out the consent temp of our bodies they can only live off out head for 20 mins and that in the tropics so down here even less... The problem is that she would have gotten them from someone in class and if that child isnt treated or not well enough then chelsea will keep been reinfected... For May I put conditioner in her hair and comb out with a nit comb every 2nd day until I no longer find them... which for May and her think curly hair is a nightmare!!!!

Well on the weekend we had Kai's birthday which was great having family come over, to enjoy the day with us...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FLYNNIE!!!!!!

Hope you had a lovely party today, got lots of pressie and made heaps of mess with your cake.

Nic - sounds like things are coming along well with the reno's. You'll have to post some new pics. Hope Nixon is feeling better today, poor little man. Its not nice when they are sick. Poor DH, how scary and to be in a foreign country too. Thankfully he is ok, but he probably did the right thing not telling you. You would have just worried yourself silly.

Amanda - didn't think boys got them as much? I have been following Dee's advice and put some eucalyptus oil in the conditioner. Put it through her hair last night and used the nit comb and none came out - thank god!!! Will keep doing that every second day and follow up with the treatment again this weekend. I do use hairspray in her hair as its so fine, it's hard to keep in a pony tail but I have been using extra lol!!!! She has the stiffest hair!! Glad you enjoyed your camping weekend, the trailer would have been heaps better than a tent. You must hate coming home and doing all the washing. 29 - you a such a spring chicken!!! I'm sure Friday will be wonderful. Thankfully Chelsea has fine hair which made the comb go through a bit easier. Glad the party went well on Sunday. Make sure you post some pics.

Well I am bit angry today (still) and am wondering what you would do in my position. Last night DH picked up Marley from MIL. When he got home, she looked different but I couldn't work out why. She was very tired so she went to bed early. This morning she woke up and it looks like MIL has CUT HER HAIR!!!!! She has given her a fringe, which I am so not happy about. I feel she should have asked me, not just go ahead and do it - and not to tell me. DH said she didn't say anything to him and he didn't really notice the hair looking different (typical male!!!). I have avoided ringing her today as I am still peeved. What would you do? It doesn't look too bad, but it was her first hair cut and she better have kept the hair.

Thankfully I am going out tonight with some GF's to see Sex and the City, so that should cheer me up!

Tali - that must have been awful having to be on nit patrol all the time. I did read about the nits not surviving long but I just had to clean everything. Creepy little things. Thanks for the advice about the conditioner, Dee told me and I found some stuff on the internet. You girls are so clever.

Hiya girls, gotta be quick cause no doubt will only have a few moments peace

There was no party today

Flynn is quite sick with a temp, runny nose, runny poo(!) and a cough. I am sad because even though we have postponed the party to next Wednesday (Melb Junie mums - send me a PM if you can make it and I will send my address

) I start work on Monday so will miss it! And Flynn was supposed to go to playgroup tomorrow with a cake - once again, postponed to next week, but I will miss it

We had a little cake and song today and we are having a family do on Saturday, but it won't be the same

Ah well, I guess life gives you lessons like this - I will "miss out" on many more days like this, working full tme, so I better get used to it. I know that sounds really bitter, and I am not, but it is just a hard realisation to come to. But really, like I said, I will have to get used to this and not let it bug me. As long as the KIDS don't miss out, that's all that matters, hey?

Better go - lots to do while Flynnie is occupied with ABC Kids!!

just quickly cos I have a brigade meeting to get to, but Mel - MIL has done the same thing...an unauthorised fringe cut! It's mostly grown out now, but I was quite silently upset about it!
Gotta go, kid grabbing at me...
