Oh Amanda! (((Big Hug darl))) I know exactly how you're feeling! There's been times when I've felt the same way, especially the isolated feeling. Things haven't been too bad this time around mainly because of a connectness i get from BB and from being helped by Kelly (Zantey) and from meeting a few BB members and new mums at PlayGroup etc. I hear you regarding the yelling and i have to make a very conscious effort not to do this myself. Along with Nic I've been taking In-Liven which I personally have found to help control my short fuse as it's helped to deal with my sugar cravings and thus mood swings. never hesitate to vent in here darl... it's exactly what it's for! Even if you find yourself "thinking aloud" and going off on tangents like I do it all helps. I know how some things like your friend's comment can stick in your head so when that happens you just come in here and we'll set it straight... give you a better perspective... sometimes i find that when people make silly comments like that it's often because THEY need to take their own advice (like my neurotic mother telling me I should be careful not to get depressed... it's HER who needs that advice, not me!) i also know what you mean about adult conversation: that's my biggest issue ATM and why we all need to amke sure we get out like Nic did the other day and seize every opportunity to socialize with other mums You just get as much off your chest as you need to darl!
Thanks girls, I hear you on BB been were I know all my real friends are. You girls have been thru all mine and everyone elses ups and downs, it's great in here.
Simone my 4 yr old and 2 yr old do the hitting thing to my oldest doesn't which is good, I think sometimes that it may be the testostrone floating thru their little bodies.
Bath what is In-Liven, I've never heard of it before and how much is it? Your right about everything as usual which makes me feel better. i think everything has just boiled to a head today and I've had a complete meltdown this afternoon.
Can't believe another Australian icon has died - this time Peter Brock..what is going on???
Anyway thought I'd share a strange moment - was feeding Aleise this afternoon when I felt something warm run down my leg - so lucky me copped diahroea (sp?) down my leg. Seems it leaked through a full nappy. Sorry if TMI but I just hope that doesn't happen again in a hurry!
Body image: Well I went to the gym again today and paid my $4 to child care ladies - they love Aleise and asked me where I'd been! After seeing my fat photos from the baptism I'm determined to lose 10kg even though I'm lighter now then when I fell pregnant. However am still a D cup and used to be a C so not upset about that! Just remember girls we're all still beautiful to our babies daddys' and that's the main thing!
Candy: Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling happy lately darls - remember you have plenty of friends here. I found a mother's group on another website and I'll email that one to you as they have mother's groups listed on that one. We meet every fortnight and its grown a lot since a month ago! Then again it won't be long until you score a job and will find little time for us I bet!
Bath: If you come up this way can we meet up? Unless you're going to the Whitsundays or something (and I'll be jealous! if you do!).
Brisbane girls: Would be good if we could meet up - I think Jo and Amanda3 are on the south side so the city might be the go. Amanda - try to keep a positive attitude if you can - remember chocolate (in moderation) is your friend! hehe!
Try to make the effort to meet some new people if you're friends have deserted you or they're too far away. After living in Brisbane for 5 years I don't have many friends here and the ones that I do have don't live close by.
About Tulip (Tanya) she texted me yesterday and said she was pretty busy so I'm sure she'll get online again soon.
Well I"d better go and try to go for a walk with Aleise while the sun is still up - nice and warm today and she's been kicking around in a t-shirt and nappy whilst I have a singlet and shorts on - roll on summer!
Take care all and *huggies* all 'round.
Neeny xoxo
