Sounds like you all had a wonderful Christmas. Mine was okay. Christmas morning with Caeleb was wonderful. Caeleb loved his presents. His favourite? A plastic contruction hat that came free with a Tonka Truck...
Nevermind the $1600 we spent building that play area (which he does love too BTW)..but, as long as he's happy, I don't care!
Went and stayed with my parents for a couple days. Didn't end up going all that well. My Dad said a few hurtful things to me and didn't make any attempt to apologise, so we left early the next morning. I've not spoken to him since.
My parents come and stay with me every 4 weeks or so. Our place is like camp for them, so they can go visit all the grandkids (they live 2 hours away, so come back once a month for visits). Right now... I really don't want my Dad in my house. They're due back again next week. I want to call and say, go stay with one of my brothers, because I'm pregnant, I'm hurt by your words and I don' want you around, but DH says it's only going to cause drama.
My family life is a drama. Not DH and Caeleb. That is pretty much perfect, most of the time. THANK GOODNESS! It's MY family that is the problem. I got a text from my Mum telling me to text my brother for new year and see how my nephew's teeth are (he smashed four front teeth the day before Christmas doing dangerous flips on a trampoline). I'd already messaged the day after he did it and wished him a speedy recovery. I got four text messages on new year from people and didn't send any back, because I really don't get into it. I went to bed at 10:30pm. Apparently, my brother is hurt because I didn't text him back, so he rang my Mum to have a whinge. She's now insisting that I text him and if I don't it's going to cause major drama... and according to her (this is her standard line) I don't want her to have any family!
WTF? Firstly, my brother is 45... grow up! Secondly... WTF! I love how everything is my fault. Grr... I'm pregnant, very uncomfortable (baby is laying across my belly) and hormonal and I so don't need this crap right now!!! I just want them all to leave me alone!!!
Sorry for the vent... I just don't have anyone (other than poor DH) to talk to about this right now...
Celsie!!Ugh! Your family sounds like they need a swift kick up the bum, a flick around the ear and slap to the head!! Oh and then told to grow up for goodness sakes!!! This is the last thing you need love!! Vent away baby!! I completely understand as you could've been writing about my family to which I began to speak honestly with them all and say either, "Between me and so-and-so so butt out" or "got nothing to do with me, not interested. Oh DD did this and this and this......etc". Oh and when I find out someone had been whinging about me to someone else, i tell the someone else to only say, "Well go talk to her" and then I contact the whinger and say if you can't talk to me, its obviously not worth whinging about I just don't have time for "Bold and the Beautiful" lifestyles, iykwim? so have made it clear that I am too busy loving life with my little fam of DH & the girls and by all means, if others would like to come have fun then do......otherwise, you don't contact me. I just don't have time for family politics, seriously!!
Is it obvious?!?! *blush*
See me being me, I'd be calling and saying up front what hurt and you'd rather sort this out now than it be awkward when they come visit. Honesty and up front - but that's just me I can be a bit too harsh sometimes, ooops *blush*
Bit the bullet today peoples - took out membership at the gym.... ....so of course had to buy gym clothes and.......... bathers haven't bought bathers in 10 years!!
Ahh just picture it now, Charlyfrog floppin' round on her lily pad & splooshing about in the water with her little tadpole (DD#2) Ah yes. Truly graceful.
Thank you so much Charly! *mwah* You're so gorgeous. I actually got a call from my Dad the next day after posting on here. Apparently my Mum had "words" to him and told him that I thought he didn't love me. I never actually said that... I think my words were... "He doesn't get me". Anyway, Dad called up all emotional, telling me that he's really sorry and that he didn't mean to say what he said and that he does love me and would be the first to jump to my defence if required. I accepted his apology, but I really am sick of the drama. I just want a peaceful life. Tate, Caeleb, No. 2 and Me... that's it!
Congratulations on joining the gym too! I had a membership for 3 months and someone (not mentioning any names!) would cry and cry and cry at the creche... so I'd finish my workout and come out to find a sobbing mess. I was actually really annoyed, because I said if he cries for more than 5 minutes, come and get me and they never did. So I got 10 sessions out of it and the rest went to waste. Guess it's good old walking and pushing the pram for me or nothing!
I feel SO rejuvenated since having Tate home for holidays over Christmas. I feel like a good Mummy again. I have energy, I'm happy and Caeleb and I are getting along better than ever. It's just wonderful. I hope it lasts! *sighs happily*

Oh Celsie that is so SO fantastic that your Dad rang!!!! I am so happy for you lovey!! MWAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! (*squeeze*)
That's a bit annoying that the workers didn't come and get you at the gym This is one of the many times I feel so lucky to have a shift working DH, makes things so much easier.
We are fine, took Lewis for his 18 month check today he is 13kg and 84cm now. I asked her about him waking at 5.30am every morning (goes back for an hour at 8am) but she couldn't really help and told me I should be happy he sleeps through! That told me then!
I'm going through a bit of a frustrated phase at the moment, just finding every day like ground hog day. DH has taken a new job which is Tues-Sat 10am-10pm so I'm on my own alot with Lewis and he doesn't play for long on his own and tends to follow me everywhere. Aaargh! I think with all the playgroups etc shut aswell it's harder to fill in the days.
Oh and I'm on month 2 of TTC, no luck in month 1. I'm already feeling like it will never happen without IVF. But we will see. I am even sleeping with yellow booties under my pillow! I mean obviously that will do the trick hey?!
I have been thinking i need to play with her sleeps as she started FDC last week 2 days a week and is soooooooooooo excited all day every day now!.
She still has her 3 hrs of sleep in the arvo but the past 2 weeks isnt ready for bed until 9-10pm! and that is not cool lol. So today i am going to put her to bed a little less comfy - with the windows and curtains open (usually it is dark as in her room) and hope she sleeps only for an hour so she is rady for bed at 7pm. She sleeps to abpout 630-7am.
DS on the other hand wakes around 430-5am lol yawn. but i get him back to sleep about the same time DD wakes so it makes it easier with breakfast and morning tidy up
I HEAR YOU on the ground hog day .. i say this all the time lol. even more with 2 lol. BUt i must admit i was hestitate with FDC but OMG she loves the pants off it. SHe is soe xcited to go and when i pick her up , hugs me and kisses ethan then wants to show me all the things she did and played with...
It is good as i get 2 days of me and ethan time which i think is important (ashley got exclusive mummy rightgs for 18 months now ethan gets some 1 on1 ).
Toliet training is going on and off. Sometimes she does -others she doesnt. I think she is getting ready but we just 'arent there' yet.
We are learning to drink from a cup. (loves drinking bath water eew lol) but she is getting better with less mess).
Going to go shopping this weekend and pamper myself i have decied. GOing to get a new leather handbag. At the moment i throw all my junk into one of the green bags lol.. so decided i derve better than $1.95 , and get ashely a helmet as we attached a seat to the pushbike - cant wait to giveit a go! woohoooo
