Its so good to hear from you Trina! Missed you so much :)
Having your own place will probably be easier. Come in here any time you need to. Happy or sad we'll all listen to you. If you ever wanna chat.
:hug: Hope you feel better soon.
That seizure of Summy's must've scared the crap outta you. I really hope it doesn't happen again. But I'm guessing now its happened, its more likely to happen again.
We move into our house on, I think the 2nd or so of June. The first Monday in June anyway.
After reading about Summer's seizure I started instantly imagining it and thinking about what I would do if something like that happened to Jazz and I started to feel sick to my stomach at the thought of it so I can't even imagine how much worse you must have felt that it actually happened.
Tonight instead of giving Jazz a bottle I put a bit of milk in a sippy cup and Jazz drank it with no dramas at all, there was no screaming and throwing (she normally grabs her bottle and throws it at me straight after grabbing it). Just before the bottle I gave her some nurofen and she took that with no dramas, in fact, she didn't want to let go of the siringe when there was none left. She kept sucking it and wanting more.
She's just started doing the palms up, shoulder shrug that you would do when indicating "I don't know" or "all gone" She'll do it at the same time as saying "uh oh"
Jazz sings now. It goes something like this:
Me: Twinkle twinkle little star
Jazz: Haw wa wa wa hu-chuar
Jazz: Hupdebovde
Me: World so high
Jazz: Li a de de
Me: In the sky
Me: Twinkle twinkle little star
Jazz: Haw wa wa wa hu-chuar
Then she walks around the house going "hu-chuar, hu-chuar
Jesse did that with the nurofen tonight too Danni. He woke at 10 last night & was up til 12.30, so I'm hoping the nurofen keeps him asleep for a bit tonight!
We've got Bri's speech therapist appointment tommorow. The one she missed over the hols was just the hearing test. Not a huge drama, have re booked for June 4th.
Gawd, so tired after last night & being up at 6.30. Off to bed.
Night all
xxx
i think they all like their meds, when i gave poopy his abs the last time, he said 'more. more'.. lol.
hope bri goes all right, skye.. xoxox
I've had to force Summer to have her panadol and nurofen the last week, she purses her lips together and clenches her teeth now that's hard having to pin her down hold her arms and force a syringe into her mouth but has to be done haha
I'm having a lazy day (again) Summer is still asleep and i have done nothing..... Might be going back to gym tomorrow so making the most of my laziness.
so cold when you are doing nothing almost makes me want to get up and clean..... Nah!!!! ok over that idea. Im off to have another cuppa and more food
Lol, Trina. Cuppa sounds too good, only I have to force myself to do the house work first. I haven't been home for 3 days, its starting to smell in here, nice! (Last nights dinner, meatballs smell so gross the next morning! Or afternoon, lol)
None of my kids like panadol, but nurofen & abs are easy. Bri's on abs ATM coz her eczema got infected. She's reminding me for it, lol.
She did well at the speech therapist today. She's really smart! You don't realise til you see them do those assessments & things just how clever they are. I've been tossing up weather or not to send her to school next year. Just had a chat to her day care teacher & she reckons, yes, be ready, but if things aren't so great at the end of the year, then keep her back another year. I didn't realise alot of schools (especially private) have brought the cut off date back to mid March rather than July 31. Bri's June 5. I always knew I'd have to make the decision, just based on her readiness, but her teacher reckons at this stage to send her. & really, things can only get better, huh. With day care & the speech therapy. She should be fine.
Its a relief, but still on my mind, lol.
Anyway, I gotta go get this house organised!
Skye: hope the car gets fixed soon.
Jazz took an hour to get to sleep last night, then I put some vicks on her chest and feet and within 2 mins of doing that she was fast asleep and slept all night until I woke her at 7:30am!
hi Guys,
havent had a chance to read all that has been happens, just skimmed really.
We had a fantastic time away, 3 weeks of one on one time, it has been amazing and sounds awful, but i loved not haveing any internet, no distractions from my little girl, we played and did so much tgether, honestly i think that it was the best thing that i have done....
HOWEVER she is now exceptionally clingy...
when we were away, if she woke in the night, she would come straiaght into my bed so that she wouldnt wake the house up - i did like it, but it is not something that really cant continue at home as DH smokes and she figgets so much that no one really gets that much sleep.
She is suffering horrifically from jet lag atm, going there was fine, she slotted back into her sleep pattern immediatley, which is bed 7-7.30pm, wake between 11-1am (come in to my bed while we are away or pat to sleep at home) then wake at 4.30-5.30am for a feed then sleep again until 7.30-8am
Now that we are back, she will go down well at bed time (i usually feed to sleep anyway) but will wake at about 10pm... then if she comes into bed with us or lies in my arms, she will sleep on and off until 2 am, waking every 30mins, sitting up talking, moving around changing position and occasionally crying. Around 2am she wants a feed, and she feeds for almost an hour, then she will sleep until the morning without stirring. She is buggered in th day, but i cant let her sleep as she needs to get back into the right day night pattern...
We have tried (unsucessfully) to get her back to sleep in her cot...she will cry until she is picked up (patting wont work) and the fall asleep in my arms, if i try and put her down it wakes her and she starts crying, actually its screaming and begging me, calling mum mum mumma, we tried last night to resettle her in the cot and it was the most heartbreaking thing EVER i was in tears, DH found it really hard too...
In the end we got her off to sleep, but she work every 15-20mins in tears. after 2 hours, we broght her in bed with us. and she still did her usual thing until 2am.
I am exhaused, i have not caught up from my jet lag and i dont know what to do.
Dh and i thought that maybe we will try resettleing in her cot again tonight, again it woll probably take an hour of crying, butshe has to learn to go back to it, doesnt she???
Is it too early, should we let her just sleep in our bed until she is back into a better sleeping pattern and then start it?
The big thing that is playing on my mind is that i dont want her to resent her Daddy, he wasnt away with us, and now that i am home i sleep with him and not her kwim???
I have also thought about getting something to help her sleep, i dont want to, but if it was me suffering, i would take something so that i was back in my sleeping pattern, shouldnt i then do the same for her.
I just feel so awful about it.
She is at FDC today and it was wawful leaving her....
BRON/anyone else - how do i assist her sep anxiety when i leave, its been bad for a while (prior to going away) in that when she knows i am leaving she starts l\clinging to me and when we peel her off me, it just starts her crying. She stops soon after i leave, buts its heartbreaking.
Today i stayed for 15 mins and we had a play together and looked at the new toys that were there, but it didnt seem to help. I hate it that she is so distressed by me leaving
Trina - so sorry about Summer, hope she is OK now, it must have been awful for you.
gotta go anyway
:hug: SJ.
I would have her in your bed maybe til she gets over the jet lag at least. I always put Jesse to sleep on me or in our bed, then put him in the cot. He'd be in with us more, but we only have a double bed & as he's getting too big, its getting too small, lol.
I'll be moving him out of our room again when we move in 2 weeks too. That should be interesting.
I hope leaving her at DC gets easier soon. Bri does the same when I drop her off, but its completely different coz she's older. I have no suggestions at all. Sorry. Just more :hug:
Hi everyone,
I've been lurking but by the time I get to post I get interrupted. Life's been a bit crazy. My son broke his leg playing basketball so lots of DR's appointments and driving to and from school. Almost fully recovered so that's one less thing to worry about. It was such a pain having two kids that couldn't walk.
Paddy did the funniest thing today. He's only been taking afew steps off and on, prefers to crawl. Well I bought him some shoes today and he loves them. After we bought them he wanted to go to every shoe shop in the place. My boy has got a shoe fetish! When we put them on at home he walked around for ages, it was hilarious. I love the way they respond and understand what your saying.
Prama loved your photos, you look great in red!
Bjrose it sounds like everything is looking better despite the car hiccup.
Danni goodluck with the new job. I hope the franchise thing goes OK.
Trina hope Summer's feeling better and things start to look up. I'm sure once you move you'll feel better.
SJ you lucky thing. Had a great holiday and now you've got to pay the price, sucks doesn't it. With the seperation thing I had it with my eldest and the only way was to rip the bandaid off quick. Try not to drag out the goodbyes because that can increase the anxiety. Sometimes if you over explain what is going to happen that can also confuse them. Breaks your heart I know but they recover quickly, much quicker than us. Don't know about the sleep thing. I wouldn't keep having her in my bed coz that's just another habit to break but it's you that's got to survive. Maybe a mattress in her room? I know your hubby works a lot but maybe he needs to schedule in some daddy daughter time and then she'll have a much stronger bond and take the pressure off you.
Hi to everyone else I've missed.
Yours always lurking :hide:...
sj - hugs to you!! it's hard when you are jet lagged and mj is too and doesnt understand it..being out in the sun is the best for jet lag, maybe it might help mj being out and running around and getting tired? and have a nice long hot bath before bed.. if you're not doing this already...
Maybe to calm her down, have her in your bed with you and dh so she calms down and settles and gets to be w her daddy too. maybe at this point is for her to settle then you can slowly introduce her cot again?
could you ring tresillian or karitane and ask for advise.. sorry hun.. it's so hard esp when you are exhausted too. xoxoxox
Jazz has started counting! I can't believe at less than 1.5 years old she can count to 10 (sort of).
We start out by saying "One"
and then she'll go:
"Shoo, eee, orrr, iff, ix" then we have to say "seven" then she'll go "aiiii, niii, ZEN"
And she's also responding to yes no questions with a shake or a nod of the head (well, nodding is more of a nod of the whole body).
I've just submitted my application for a new job. Now to wait!
Prama, doing all of the things you are suggesting. I think that it is a matter of time.
I have noticed that she wanted a feed aroun midnight, which was 3pm in the UK - the time that she use to have an afternoon feed... last night i gave her a sippy cup of water and she lay down sipping it, she drank a bit, so she obviously is needing it, i think that her body clock is just still out of whack.
I think that for the time being we will attempt to settle in the cot - have settled the first wake up, then an hour later she comes in with us, she is actually getting better but its hard as i am so tired.
slowly i think it will get back and then she will go back into her cot more - we do put her down in her cit first thing though and she is fine with that (well she is asleep when she goes down.)
I am sure that i told you all that one of the reasons for going to the UK was to take MJ to meet her great Nanny, it was her 94th birthday when we were there.
She died last night :cry:
I am so glad that i took MJ to meet her and the there was a bit of quality time. I have some lovely photos of the two of them and although MJ will never rememeber it, i think it did the world of good for My Nanny those days that we were there.
Mum unfortunatly has to get back on a plane probably this weekend and go for the funeral and other arrangement. Poor Mum, she is sad, but glad that she saw her this last month, she was getting worse and knows it was the best thing for her.
Selfishly this is going to affect me too, with Mum away, MJ is going back to FDC 3 days a week and i dont think it will be great for her sep anxiety or jet lag at the moment. Oh well, i am sure we will all cope :(
Teach; great to hear from you, glad your son is better, what a crack up about Paddy going into all the shops, MJ has a shoe fettich too, but being female its a bit more acceptable i suppose!!! her favourites are a pair of Welly (Gum) boots that we got in England. She picks them up and walks over to the table so she can hold on and lifts a leg to try and put them on or wait for me to help... so cute.
She is talking heaps more now too.
Danni MJ is counting and singing too, its so exciting isnt it! I think that they dont really understand the numbers though, its just repeating at the moment, the understanding will come later, but so good anyway. Good luck on your application.
Hi to everyone else, Tired and back at work and now wishing that i wasnt after finding out about my Nanny :( :(
SJ sorry to hear about your Nan :(
Typed out a huge post the other day and it didn't go thru, so annoyed oh well.
I am now playing soccer had my first training last night and it was awesome might be playing my first game this Sun if all the registration goes thru. Might help me cos I'm not doing too well atm everyone keeps telling me to just "get over" chris and his gf playing happy families with my babies plus all the other crap that needs to be done to get divorced and also just life crap too, its all too much and I'm not coping at all. Oh well **** happens hey...
Hope all your monkeys are doing well and are happy
xo
SJ, sorry about your nan. Glad that you had that time with her though.
Jazz has just gotten the hang of sipping on a straw. I bought a cup with a straw a while back but she didn't get it at all, then the other day I though I'd just try again and she did it! She was so pleased with herself!
Hi guys. Things are crap again :rolleyes:
Our phone got cut off, but its ok. I might actually be abl to get organised to move lol.
I'm not worrying about sorting it out til after we've moved, so I'll be away for a bit. need the money to move & fix the car. Its hopefully done. Took it in today.
Sorry about your Nan SJ.
Gotta go. Later guys
xxx
Thanks guys
Skye - sorry that things are a bit crappy at the moment. Hiopefully things will sort themselves out soon for you :hug: how's the sewing going???
Trina - i dont know what to say, its so easy to say just get over it, but there is a lot of history and despite the fact that you have 'appeared' to have taken this in your stride to the majority of people (those who flippantly say 'get over him') i am sure that there is a lot of hurting inside you.
I have told DH that he cant ever leave me as i could never share MJ, honestly i cant begin to think what that must be like for you.
i dont know what you are going through so i am not going to pretend that i do, im always here for you, PM me if you need a vent. Take care of yourself and everytime you kick that soccer ball or punch the air (i can imagine you doing a boxicise form of fitness) channel all the hurt into that... you dont even need to pretend its him or her as thinking like that will continue to cycle the bad feelings, just use it as a release.
I hope your registration goes through so you can play on Sunday and more importantly i hope you are OK - take care of yourself and have some relaxing down time too xoxoxo
Bron, Prama, Shell, hope you are OK
sj - im so sorry to hear abt your nan.. you are going thru such a hard time at the moment. but i think your nan left being very happy she got to spend some wonderful time with her daughter, grand daughter and great grand daughter, I bet she must have been super proud and blessed to be with 3 generations of women. and mj will have all those wonderful pictures....
do you think mj might sense her nan has gone? babies are very tuned into these things. (not sure you believe in the spiritural)
trina - i've missed you very much. in my opinion, i feel it's insensitive of ppl to say 'just get over it'. you;ve a long history together and 4 beautiful babies. and someone took it away. ppl expect you not to deal or grieve over things and not cry. you;re supossed to put on brave front. it's all crap. i dont understand why ppl think someone should be strong and hold your head high etc. some eastern cultures allow wailing and crying for a lot of things...
anyway, you have a lot going and it's not fair. you were seeing someone at one stage... im sure you'll find love again.
skye - sorry things are going wrong at the moment... it really sucks... just when things were going well. it will again..
danni - good luck w the job!!
poopy isnt speaking much yet.. girls tend to be quicker than boys. he understands heaps and is doing lots now..
What the? I was just typing and then squished a little spider that was on my desk and the post disappeared! Grr!
What I was saying was something like this:
Trina it sucks that people are expecting you to just "get over him" it takes time. I've heard that grieving over a divorce takes longer than over the death of a partner because death is final, where as with divorce, when kids are involved, the person is always part of your life. I'm sure things will get easier one day, but it takes time and people need to understand that.
I've been really really tired lately. I think it's because I'm doing so much and keep going to bed at 11pm or later, then get woken up in the middle of the night most nights and then have to be up at about 6:30 every morning for work. I need to try to have an early night and might ask Matt if on weekends I can have a sleep in on Saturdays and he has his sleep in on Sundays. The reason I want Saturdays and not Sundays is because I have to get up and get me & Jazz ready for church on Sundays...only thing is that Matt can't stomach changing dirty nappies and she always has a dirty nappy between 7:30-8:00am which means that I would be getting up at about that time to change her...still, that's a sleep in these days! I'll just try to go to bed earlier.
I really need to get motivated to get off the net and do some work. I have heaps to do, and I want to go to the gym soon too.
Thanks for all your kind words, I've missed you all on here xoxo
I have been going thru depression for quite a while but it comes and goes I tend to pull myself out of it but i have been bad since Summer's little incident. I have used alcohol as a means of medication and in the last few weeks i haven't been drinking so there has been nothing to numb my mind not saying that i drank all the time or even everyday but a couple of drinks would take my mind off life. And I have cut out a few people that were causing me more harm than good so have had heaps of time with nobody at all around and no drinking and so my mind has been going non stop...... Might be what i need to move on a bit.
How is poopy??? It is so horrible when they get sick and prob hearing of summer having a seizure from a high temp has made you worry that bit more when they get hot and it wont come down easy. Kisses to him hope he gets better quick.. Poor little Summy still isn't 100% she has a horrible cough now.
Skye you and I don't seem to be able to have anything go right at the mo. Hope things improve for you hun xoxo
Thanks SJ I go ok for a bit then hit rock bottom again suppose that's normal i don't know. I know I am taking it out on the kids too which isn't good and i can't help ask questions about her plus i can see pics etc of her on the net which I really really shouldn't do cos it makes me angry.
I should get off my bum and do some housework its been weeks and i can't seem to get anything done, the house is a mess and there is crap everywhere
hope you all have a great weekend
Trina xoxo
trina - thanks.. he's happier today.. but yes, when i saw 40deg.. i kinda freaked. i stayed calm, tho and gave him some neurofen, stripped off his sleeping bag and socks and sponged him. but his temp stayed around 38.8ish.. so we went to the hossy. yes, i was scared he might get a seizure.
hun.. if you just wanna chat, i could drive up to you on a weekend, and we do lunch or something and poopy and summy and get aquainted ;)
Prama, sorry i missed that, big hugs to poopy, its really scary when they are sick
I just rung Matt to tell him how tired I am and made him remind me to go to bed at 9:30 tonight. I also told him that I'm not getting up before 8am tomorrow morning so he has to get up for Jazz in the morning!
Look what I found girls: Our Belly Buddies thread from when we were all going into labour and having our bubs: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...08-21-a-6.html
omg danni - seems so so long ago!!! how far we and our bubbies have come..
am at home today.. poopy's still sick but thank god his fever;s gone. going to see his gp at 12
Thanks for posting that Danni. It seems so long ago. I can't believe how quickly the time has gone.
Prama hope poopy's feeling better soon.
I spent last night on the lounge room floor with Paddy. Had a fever which didn't break until 2am. Then this morning he's still cranky and won't settle anywhere but in my arms. Looked in his mouth and there are these giant molars coming through, three at once. No wonder the poor bubba's feeling sad.
The joys of motherhood huh.
Jazz has her first day today at a child care centre around the corner from home. She's still going to FDC Mon-Thurs but after I received a call on Monday from my best friend's husband asking me if it's ok for my friend not to look after Jazz on Friday as he's planning to take her out in the evening and she'll be too exhausted to go after a day of looking after Jazz. It made me think that I need reliability with care because I can't just drop everything and take a day off work when it's inconvienient for my friend to have her. Don't get me wrong, she's my best friend and I completely trust her with Jazz. But she also has some pain management issues due to a botched hospital procedure a few years ago and a day of running around after Jazz takes her 2-3 days to fully recover from.
I haven't told my friend that I've put Jazz into a centre, but I did tell her that I was thinking about it. I also didn't tell her that its because I need to make sure I have reliability. I told her that I'm concerned about her (my friend's) wellbeing and that I want her to have the opportunity to look after herself better and do the things she needs to do to help her manage her pain.
So, when I dropped Jazz off this morning I put her down and she immediately latched onto my legs and started crying. I stayed with her for a while until she settled a bit. Found some toys for her to play with and when she was starting to get occupied with the toy and one if the carers came with her breakfast I snuck out and signed her in and just stood for a minute or two in the foyer. Then I poked my head around the corner to see her sitting in the highchair eating breakfast happily. The carer who was feeding her smiled and gave me a nod to let me know she was ok. So I left.
I rang about an hour ago to see how she's going and they said she's having a great time. Ate all her breakfast, ate some fruit for morning tea and some birthday cake as it's one of the kid's birthdays today. And she'd just started doing some painting. I told them I would ring again in the afternoon to find out how she slept and stuff.
At FDC now when I arrive to pick her up she gets sad because she doesn't want to leave, I guess that's a good thing. I think it'll be the same this afternoon when I pick her up.
Only this week at FDC she's gone from running up to me and giving me a big hug as soon as I walk in the door to seeing me, running away when I try to pick her up and saying "no" when I say it's time to go home.
She's also fallen in love with Thomas the Tank and will point and say "Toddis" (for Thomas) and "Eddie" (for Edward).
We have some kid free time this weekend. Jazz is sleeping over at my parent's house on Saturday night, I'll drop her off in the mid/late afternoon and then we'll pick her up late in the afternoon on Sunday. We're off to the footy on Sunday afternoon which will be fun. I hope it doesn't rain. I should check the forecast.
we have all been very very quiet. I have a big vent to share but I'm going to bed so I'll post it tomorrow.
Jazz has thrown up about 4 times tonight. I hope she is finished now.
As most of you know I've met a man.... Don't have time now but I will sit down and fill you in on the goss when Summer has her sleep. Just quickly he is so amazing the sweetest man i've ever met, it's all been really quick but it feels so right. Fill you in more later...
Summer has started some lovely tanty's which isn't fun although she has just had two top molars and two eye teeth coming all at the same time so might just be cranky bum from that
trina - so happy for you.. looking fwd to more goss and pictures!!
poopy's heaps better.. we have the vapouriser running at tnight and he seems to sleep better too. maybe the air has more moisture too, and they can breath better. it gets so dry in winter.
he's getting cheekier and cheekier.. doesnt want to hold hands when walking, doesnt want me to feed him. he's learnt fr daycare to feed himself properly.. he shakes his head left to right when i try to feed him, but hten forgets when he's concentrating trying to get food on his spoon, so i get to feed him. so i feed him andhe feeds himself too. he's doing a pretty good job and not too mess.
he's also got this thing for shoes now. i have to keep looking for my shoes. he tries to wear them and walk around the house!! but only puts on his right foot. so i have one shoe in one room and the other some where else!
anyway, to whinge..
steve and i havent been so good. i got really upset the other day. i asked if i could have someone come clean the house as my mother's day present (emailed all the info etc) and steve said ok. and nothing's happened since. I waited and waited but nothing. so i asked him when is it happening. and he goes, i thot you were going to organising it.....
i said what's the point of a mother's day present if i have to do all the organising etc.
the whole mess in the house is because he puts stuff everywhere. im constantly cleaning and he's messing it up..... like, he leaves dirty utensils on the chopping board and i keep washing it up. ive told him even if you dont want to wash it up, can you pls leave it in the sick,(just need to turn around to put in the sink). so that it doesnt get all dried up and yucky and now lakshman is trying to reach for things on the chopping board. and Im worried abt knives etc.
everytime i get upset, he says he's sorry and will try to do better and nothing's changed. this ihas been going on for the last 5.5years.
i've told him many times a messy house gets me even more depressed on top my my PND.
I'm just so tired of cleaning and cleaning and getting the same results every time, and it's really getting to me. and steve makes promises and nothing changes.
i jsut feel everything abt the house is on my shoulders and cant cope anymore...
sorry for the long vent...
sorry Prama *hugs* I know how you feel it was like that with Chris and I and I know how stressful and frustrating it is. Don't have any advice cos I never got Chris to help very often. In a way I have had to try not get too stressed about mess cos it is impossible to keep tidy here but I often get really annoyed and stressed about it. Glad poopy is better xo
I'm off to watch Paige in her school performance so excited....
thanks trina... steve said he'll do better.. i hope he means it this time. he knows im really upset and cant put up with it. i told him he's said he'd help so many times but nothing changed.. he's so good in every other way but cleaning. sigh
im so glad you have a new man.. you MUST update us! lol
and hooray paige!! tell us all about it!
Well I met Dave on zoosk which is a dating type site on facebook, I got on there by accident about 6 months ago (was sent a request and when you click on it you join). I have only ever spoken to a couple of guys on there, was never into anyone.. Anyway i looked 2 weeks ago and saw Dave sent me a msg so I replied and knew i had to meet him. He came to my soccer and then we had dinner after, with his son and all my girls, my leg swelled up and was excruciating and he drove home and got his first aid kit and came back and bandaged me up then the next day he came and looked after me and was cleaning cooking and driving me to Dr's etc and never once expected anything from me..... We have pretty much been inseparable since. He loves my kids and is just amazing with them they all love him too, Paige Tahnie and Summer all lay and cuddles up to him which is cute.
He is a bit old fashioned and such a gentleman he had to ask me to be his gf and gave me a ring of his to wear (awwwww cute) he is not like anybody i have ever met before, he will do anything for me... My tap broke this morning and i had to turn the mains off, he was here straight away and fixed it.....
He broke up with his wife same time as me and has 2 kids from the previous relationship son who is 12 and daughter 15 his son lives with him and daughter lives with her Mum have met his son he is great with the girls and they get on really well and might be meeting his daughter this weekend.
So there is some info hehe
Well hope all is well with you all.... I'm in pain and over my leg...... am going to the gym today but can only get on the bike for a few mins at a time and i'll do some upper body weights
ooh trina.. what a wonderful thing!! he sounds fantastic and so good that the girls are getting along w him and his son!
he sounds like an absolute dream!! so so happy for you!
ooh trina.. what a wonderful thing!! he sounds fantastic and so good that the girls are getting along w him and his son!
he sounds like an absolute dream!! so so happy for you!
Trina WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO
I am so happy for you.
Sounds like Dave is a complete opposite to Chris and JUST what you needed.
I am really happy for you :)
you will have to keep s filled in.
I love the bit about the ring, that is soooo sweet
Well, as Mum is back in Englad (nanny died) i have t get MJ looked after on Thursday and Friday... well i rang a few places that does occasional care and found somewhere with a place. when to visist yesterday and fell in love with the place, its really natural, encourages outside play, have cloth nappies as part of the service, a cook on site, fantastic ratios oh it was EVERYTHING i would have looked for in a place.
Anyway took the forms to fill in and information and was all set to take her tomorrow, decided i had better give them a quick call and OMG i got the wrong place, i went to the wrong place yesterday and have her booked in somewhere else. I am waiting for MJ to wake up cos then we are going back to theplace yestrday and checking with the bosses that its OK for her to attend tomorrow.
I feel sort of sick, its hard enough having to do occasional care (for MJ) but she loved this place and i know that she would be happy there.
AHHHH i hope it works out :doh:
Wow Trina, I'm so happy for you. He sounds wonderful.
Prama: I had a mini breakdown the other day over the housework. We might be getting a regular cleaner to do the actual cleaning, but we'll still have to do the tidying. I'm also re-reading some of my cleaning books and organising myself better to be able to get things done without feeling stressed. Like cleaning the loungeroom while I watch TV, that way the room gets cleaned and I don't miss out on my shows.
Now, I realised that I didn't tell you what happened on Sunday. Here it is (copied from another forum).
I had the crappiest day ever!
First the football was crap. The even though it was forecast to be nice and sunny all day, we got a little bit rained on.
Then I sent a message to my mum as we were leaving the footy saying that we were on our way over to pick Jazz up. Got a reply saying they were still out and would be a minimum of an hour. Well, Matt was peeved off about that. See, we couldn't go home as mum and dad's place is about 15 mins from the footy, our house is about 30-40mins from the footy/their house. Also, we had things that needed to get done before it got dark so I sent them a message saying that we need to be home ASAP.
Mum then rang and I asked if they could drop Jazz off at our house when they were done...they refused. Then dad got on the phone saying how they were doing us a favour and we shouldn't be telling them when they should come home. Matt grabbed the phone out of my hands and started yelling and abusing my dad and saying that they we want to pick our daughter up now and if they don't come home then they'll never see her again etc etc etc.
Well, then a bit later my dad rang back and told me to put the phone on speaker so I did. He then started abusing Matt calling him a ****er and never to threaten him again. Then Matt threatened to punch him as soon as he saw him.
Well, then dad hung up. I had a big go at Matt. He kept saying that if my dad gets in his face he's going to put him in hospital. I told him that he's not to do that and when we pick Jazz up he is not to get out of the car. I sent a message to mum telling her I'd told Matt to stay in the car and it would be best for everyone if dad said nothing.
We pulled into a carpark and I got out the car to get some food. I was lining up for ages and then realised that I was too angry and upset to eat so I went back to the car. He apologised. I told him that I'm not the only one he needed to apologise to.
We got to mum & dads and waited outside until they got home. I got out the car as soon as I saw their car coming down the street so that if need be I could try and stop anything.
Dad got out the car and went inside, grabbed most of Jazz's things and put them on the grass and on his way in he said "I never want anything to do with either of you again" Well, that hurt! I said "you can't say that to me, I didn't do anything" he said "I don't want to hear it, don't come here again" Again I said "I didn't do anything wrong, how dare you say that to me" Then he said "fine, I don't anything to do with HIM!"
Mum went in and got the rest of Jazz's stuff, Matt got out the car and asked her to tell my dad that he would like to apologise. Mum said ok and warned him that dad will want to have something to say though.
Dad came out, Matt apologised. (only for me mind you). Dad told him never to speak to him like that again and never to ask for any help with anything again
I'm back at work today. I had Monday & Tuesday off because Jacinta had gastro. Not nice at all.
