Guess how much sleep I got last night til 5am????? If you were getting excited that I actually had a full night's sleep....WRONG!
15 minutes! Yep 1-5 minutes sleep until 5 this morning and then only an hour after that....:angry:
THe first part was because she was ok but my heartburn was so bad I couldn't sleep. Finally drift off at three....only to be woken 15mintues later by Darcy who was ready to be up for the day....:crying:
OMG Kim, you poor thing. I hope you manage to get some sleep during the day. Do you try and sleep when Darcy has her day sleeps, especially after nights like that.
Funnily enough I don't feel too bad Alison. We have a HUGE day today too. A first birthday party at 1.30 and then a 60th tonight.....
Hi - just in case you were wondering the mouse hunt is still on. Just checked the trap and it's actually been licking off the peanut butter (or so it seems). Grr. Did someone recommend pumpkin seeds. Stupid question but how do I keep them on the trap?
How can such a little creature be so smart..... Or perhaps it's something bigger we are dealing with here.... :)
leanne i suggested pumpkin seeds i would get one of those traps i think Jodie was talking about where they have to run inside then the trap moves and the door falls down if not my friend who suggested it sewed them on the the traps LOL i'm loving the mental picture that produces ... good luck with it
Thanks Shazz. I just spoke to my DH who works at Bunnings and said he's not to come inside until he's bought a new trap!!! LOL This is starting to become something like out of a Sienfeld episode.. :)
Going out for dinner tonight, better go have a shower and start to get ready,
Have a nice evening all.
L.
hope you get the little blighter Leanne and norty DH for not bring home the good gear first time
Hope you catch your mouse Leanne!
I'm bored. Is anyone around? It's been quiet in here this weekend.
It surely is quiet.
My mum used to sew the pumpkin seeds on too.....
Well Darcy managed to stay up until 11.30pm with only two 20 minute power naps after lunchtime.
She did sleep heaps better last night though.
She had a bit of a spew this morning. To most of you I know that's nothing, but she NEVER vomits. She's very clingy too....i can't feel any teeth, but what else could be bothering her??
Oh Vic, I didn't refresh before I posted. Wish I could do something to give you a break.
I am here as well just too busy to post....
Vic - Big :hug: sweet I hope you're feeling better soon!
i'm here too just trying to kill myself in the name of vanity just went for a power walk for an hour man i'm i feeling how unfit i really am
it all helps Shazz.....bet you're feeling good though. I had a SHOCKER yesterday....
he he i only started yesterday for real we went for a 40 min walk and the kids rode their bikes and then this morning and hour then this afternoon we will go again for a short walk prolly just around the block then tomorrow we are going swimming OMG i don't have swimmers (only Maternity ones lol won't i look at sight ) i just have to keep myself motivated now and stay away from the choclate fridge at work
It is quiet here today. Just back froma lovely lunch in Windsor with some old friends. Perfect day, the weather is finally not too hot or cold.
Have you caught that mouse yet Leanne??
Neverplan- I know that feeling, sometimes I say "My name is no longer mum so don't ask me anything!!"
Christine - I love Windsor, esp on Sundays with the markets on. And the fish 'n chips there are the best ever.
Nope, still no sucess on the mouse catching front. Licked all the peanut butter off. grr. I am off to buy a new trap this evening cause I reckon this one is damn hopeless.
BBL - Katy's just up and I can smell something organic in her nappy. Must be last night's spinach and potato mash LOL.
Leanne- markets are off until next weekend unfortunately. We went to Linden House Cafe or restaurant (can't remember exactly) its in the middle of the mall and has outdoor seating as well. Food is great too and reasonable. We used to go to the Fish and Chip place with my grandma I can't believe you can get such great fish and chips so far from the sea! Grandma lived at North Richmond (she died a year ago) and she and my aunty used to meet us in Windsor for lunch, Erin and Jess like the lolly shop and the Icecreamery.
oh oh oh i forgot to say before that i tried Ryan with avocado and pear/ mango and rice puree he loved it and sucked in down then he had water melon and half a banana finally my boy is liking some food yay
That's great Shazz. Kaitlyn just ate carrot! Just a few pieces while DH and I were eating dinner, and there she was chewing away. Those teeth are great! She knows what they are for.
Talking about ice creamery's, might go for a drive out there tonight, could do with a rum 'n raisin in a waffle cone. There goes the diet . . . again. :) It's not that far from here.
And ice cream is more important than getting a new mouse trap..... The mouse will still be there tomorrow I am sure!!
hmmm ice cream nope i'm gunna be good
oooh a caramel sundae'd be good......better eat dinner first
Hehehe Christine, my mum used to say "Who are you talking to? My name's Mrs xxxxx". You must live really close to us.....
That's great Ryans having stuff Shazz. Does take a bit of figuring out though, doesn't it? Darcy's never been a jar food girl, she never liked it when I tried so I haven't bothered with it, but I gave her some fruit gel I got given today and she loved it. Must give the home madies a go. Nat said she makes it.
Thankyou VERY much girls, I have been trying to resist the Blue ribbon cookies and cream in the freezer and I come on and read this!!!! I am now craving chocolate fudge sauce too. Thank goodness Jess is going straight to a friends after work tonight. She works at Maccas and keeps buying me chocolate sundaes when I pick her up (OK I do ask her but must she make them supersize and get extra sauce LOL)
pmsl Christine
Wow I loved that place Vic! No you're right I haven't seen one for ages.....I succumbed :crying:
Hey Girls!
Hope you are doing well.
I haven’t been on in while … never find the time these days with work and Jovi then I’m too pooped.
Christmas was good. Of course Jovi got lots of presents and considering she was around a lot of strangers she was really well behaved. Even had a 3 hour nap on xmas day!
Neverplan – Jovi has been able to hold her own bottle since she was 3 months, but she gets lazy and either wants someone to hold it for her while she fiddles with a toy or just fusses with it, so we do it for her so she’ll drink it.
Shazz – Jovi’s been drinking from a straw for a couple of months, but like with the bottle she gets lazy sometimes and prefers her cup that has a nipple on it. She has no probs with a straw though when there’s choc milk involved. LOL
Jovi has also taken to ice cream. You should see her with a cone from maccas (or just one from home)! So cute! Messy, but cute and she used her bottom teeth like crazy with the cone.
- How long are you now? 68 cm, weight 7.6 kgs
- What size shoes are you taking? The only shoes we have that fit her now just say for 12 months, I’d say they’d be a 2 cos the 1’s don’t fit anymore.
- 00 or 0 jumpsuits? If she was wearing jumpsuits (it’s too hot down this way to wear them) she’d be in a 0. Almost all her clothes are 0’s now. Only a few 00’s still fit her.
- funniest thing you've done in the last month? Jovi also terrorizes our cats, mainly the female one cos she’ll sit there and take it and sometimes just comes over for a cuddle with her (her name is cuddles after all! Lol). She also thinks it funny when she’s crawling somewhere she knows she should be going and you say that you’re gonna get her … she cacks herself and tries crawling really quickly. There’s more but I can’t think at the moment.
I have to go and have an u/s on the 29th … might have gall stones or something. JOY!
Ringing up my gyno tomorrow for an appointment. We’re going to start trying for bubs number 2 … haven’t told anyone in the family though … will just wait until we get pregnant. My parents (particularly) will worry about the money side of things – we are too, but still. We’ll figure out something when it happens. Who knows! I might finally get that promotion at work!
Oh and no I didn’t get that job at Council. They gave it to someone who already works there … but I was told that if she hadn’t of applied the job would’ve been mine. Well that’s great but I was still upset. Would’ve been great!
We’ve got Jovi’s naming day in a couple of weeks. Being the long weekend lots of people are going to be away so there’ll only be about 20 of us, but that’s cool. Only going to be the ceremony then a BBQ afterwards so nothing too major. My little sister is coming down from Gosford for it with a friend on the train (they’re only almost 14) so that should be interesting. She came down for a stay a couple of years ago and I could’ve killed her! Terrible attitude. God she better have changed … A LOT! Lol I think she’s actually going through the stage of boys and rebellion so it should be interesting.lol
Well … 10pm and still haven’t eaten … should go I guess … got work tomorrow.
Will try and chat a bit more often girls!
Cya!
good to hear jovi's doing well and WTG on TTC # 2 good luck with it all and bummer about not getting the job maybe something else will come up there
where is evryone ??? i'm bored ... i went for another walk this morning i starting to pay for all this exercise my arthritis is giving me the absolute $hits but i'm going to perservere (sp) they say use it or lose it ( mobility) i can't wear my wedding ring any more though my knuckles have started to go all wonky oh the joys but on the up side as Ryan is down to 1 B/feed a day so soon as he weans properly i am going to start medications that hopefully will help
Shazz you poor thing.
It is quiet in here today.
I just tried to do a plaster cast of Katy's hand from a kit I got from a friend about 4 months ago. Well the first time I tried the plaster was just too soft, and by the time I organised it to try again it was too hard. I think I almost broke her hand trying to get an impression. Stupid kits. So we have plaster, petroleum jelly and water everywhere but no mould. BGR. Might see if DH can bring some plaster home and we'll see if that works. Katy is one non happy camper now so I threw her in bed.
Hi girls!
Shazz... you poor thing. Exercise helps, and it will be good to get back onto meds to help out. Is it in your hands... or other joints?
Leanne... you poor thing with the moulds. I did Shauns moulds when he was really little... and they are so tiny. But I did a different system. There was a jelly like substance in a container that we plunged his hands, then feet in (4 individual containers). It took a minute to set... then we wiggled the limbs out. Then poured the plaster into those moulds. It made solid little hands & feet which I had framed with his photo. I am so pleased with it. I have got my belly cast still sitting in my kitchen (unfinished). I really must get organised and finish the cast and paint it.
Rebecca... good to hear from you, and great that Jovi is doing well. Good luck for TTC. I'm trying too. Maybe we can have bubs at the same time!
Shaun went to his first swimming class today and absolutely LOVED it. You could see he was itching to get into the pool right from the start. He giggled the whole time, and he didn't even mind being dipped under the water. My little son is going to be a fish!!! It absolutely knackered him though, and he's fallen asleep in the car (which he rarely does). I was even able to get him out of the car seat and into the cot without him stirring. Just hope he sleeps for ages... as I've got to get heaps of stuff done!
I always wondered if those things were easy....guess not....
I'm having a crap day today. But then I hear about your arthritis Shazz and I feel terrible. I'm so glad you're moving though.
I'm also so excited for you Leanne. And I know you're not, but I have total faith in you. Simple. And you never have to do a reverse parallel again after tomorrow.
Darcy and I are having a power struggle. She's like one of those tiny dogs that thinks it's a rottweiller - well I'm sure the pipsqueak thinks she's 10. She doesn't want to go to sleep, I want her too. She hangs onto the rails, crawls straight back out when I tuck her in....cow. She's usually great in the day....wonder if she really is teething....or getting ready to walk. She's gamer and gamer every day.
The little beast slept for ten minutes and now won't settle :angry:!!!!!!
OK so I'll talk to myself. I've had the weirdest day and I need to tell someone.
I think we've bought a new car - we're just waiting for the salary packaging people to get back to us.
Darcy hasn't had a sleep ALL day andis not fussed about starting now.
I got a call from the residential sleep school to go tomorrow for four days, but then I thought about it, had a panic attack, decided I didn't want any more help and cancelled. That fair dinkum freaked me out the whole day and left me trying to justify to myself that I'm a good mum and we're OK. After all they're just trying to help, and I asked to go, but I really really don't want to.
I got an email from the casting lady from that ad telling me the client wanted to see Darcy - tomorrow. So that meant I had to cancel my counsellor visit (which i probably really need ATM).
DO I sound off the planet?
oh kim do you want to talk on msn
Kim ~ Honey you sound so stressed out. Are you okay? Congrats on being called by the casting lady – you must be so proud. Did you reschedule your appt though? That is fantastic you’re getting a new car. Did Darcy sleep in the end? I wish I lived closer to you :(
Jodie Whoo hoo for Shaun having his first swimming lesson. He sounds like he loves it just like Em!!! Did you get all of your stuff done?
Shazz I hope you are feeling better soon with the arthritis. Its good to hear that you’ll be on medication soon as well – that should help out a lot! I know my mums helps her!
Beck Great to hear from you!! Sounds as though you had a great Christmas!! Darn @ maybe having gallstones!!! Haha at your sister… ahhh those were the days!!! I hope the naming day goes well – it sounds lovely!!! Buggar at not getting the job – I guess its nice to know that you would have got it if it wasn’t placed internally!
Leanne Arghh those plaster casts sound messy and hard hehe! I wouldn’t have the patience. Did you get that mouse??
Hi to everyone else!!
I did make the home made jellies once and Em the buggar just wouldn’t eat them!!! I think they may have had a little too much gelatine in them though LOL!!!
Em was a terror today. Cried and winged… I think it’s the two teeth that are cutting through. And have been for ages!! Grrrrr!! At least the house is clean now and he's asleep! We were going to go away to the beach this week but with this hot weather we decided against it. Only a few more days till our girls weekend away anyway so that should be enough for me!!! Hopefully the weather is good and I manage to get a nice tan!!!
Oh and I keep forgetting to mention it but would you believe that pregnancy made my hair go curly.... :eek: crazy hey but true!! I used to have dead straight hair and if I straighten or blow dry it its still dead straight. However if I don't brush it after its wet it goes all curly... I'm just grateful it looks good and takes 2 seconds to do now LOL. ;)
We got the mouse this morning.
Went and bought this weird and wonderful trap last night and we caught the mouse this morning. But not in the new trap, nnnnnooooooooo that would be too logical. The mouse was caught in the old 'bodgy' trap, and the funniest thing is it had NO food on it. How funny is that.
We got an email from the casting agent so mark is off with Katy today, while I go off for my P's.
Better get ready
Kim.... thinking of you - I feel slack cause I live the closest to you and feel like I am not there enough for you
I'll try and call you later, or if all goes well will come and see you tonight if need be.
:)
That is great Leanne!!! How funny it got caught in the old trap and not the new! Its always the way hey!! Good luck with Katy at the casting agent and best of luck with your P's.
Em has just started waving when you tell him to say goodbye! He's been waving for ages but not on demand and its just so cute when he was people off at the front door!
Its so hot here. Its meant to reach 40 today :eek: A nice indoors day for us I think!!
I find out about my uni course today!!! I can get online at 6 or wait for the letter - I'm not sure if the letter comes today or tomorrow though... I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
Woo Hoo Leanne...
You have lots of great news:
The mouse... finally!! But don't be surprised if he's got a brother or sister or aunts & uncles hanging around! Keep one of the traps open...
You're licence.... I'm sure you'll do well. and I'm sure you'll let us know. Good luck for it.
Casting call..... fingers crossed for that one! It's so unreal to see your baby in the media (Shaun was on ACA a while back). Wonder how long you have to wait to find out...
Lea... that's so cute that Em says goodbye. I've never thought to teach Shaun that. He doesn't say any words at the moment. And he's too self obsessed, so I don't think he cares when people leave :lol:
And good luck for your placement news. Hopefully it will be good news for you too.
I passed! I passed! I passed! I passed!
Need I say more???? :biggrin:
Just waiting for Mark and Kaitlyn to get home. I want to give everyone big hugs.
WHOO HOO CONGRATULATIONS LEANNE!!!!
That is fantastic! You must be so so happy!! WTG girl!!!
Jodie Thanks for the GL wishes. I will let you all know when I find out... trust the posty to be late today!!!!
