Okay I've cleaned the desk and chased up my emails. Now to tackle this budget / spreadsheet business. Pretty annoyed I lost it all. Ohhhh I just remembered I may have backed it up onto a CD. An old copy but it will have all the formulas and layout in it... better then nothing!
I think Em is waking up. He went down quite early today and then woke up again. I was able to get him back to sleep surprisingly enough. He's not himself the poor thing.
Why is it when ever I eat breakfast I am constantly eating all day??! Its silly really!!!
I'm going to go and look for this CD!! Fingers crossed for me girls!! I'm feeling too lazy to start from scratch hehe :rolleyes:
-
I don't know whether you inspired me or made me feel guiltyNat, but I got off my backside and cleaned the ensuite, dusted, washed a load and then went to cook dinner while Cameron was bathing Darcy.You know those nights when you should have gotten takeaway??? We've had one of those.
Cam irritated me by not wanting to take Darcy upstairs while he ran the bath. She was clingy so I couldn't put her down. Then he was too lazy to open the gate and so made me bring Darcy to him, but I needed him to get a casserole dish out of a high cupboard for me. So, cranky, I got the casserole dish myself, not watching (cos I'm too short) and the pyrex that was leaning on it came crashing down and shattered into a million gazzillion pieces.
Then I couldn't find the dustpan so picked up the big bits by hand and had to vacuum the rest. We had to go over it three times to pick it all up.
So I start to cook dinner and I'm using a corningware casserole dish that's supposed to go on oven top and in the oven. I add the stock to the risotto and the whole dish cracks! (I've used it like twice). The stock came pouring out into the element and all I could do was watch. So I turned the power off and Cam was laughing - what else could i do? Thank heavns for him, he cleaned up the elements while I transferred the said rice to a saucepan to continue as I usually would. Far out.
Then to top it off Darcy coughed rice all over me.....

Kim- I wouldve given up and got takeaway by then!! You are very good. I have just made Erin some scrambled eggs on toast and its 8pm- what a bad mother LOL We went to the Aquarium today and got home aboout 4 ish and had a nap, unfortunately Riley went to sleep about 5.30 and is still asleep so I can see a loooong night ahead, I really should go and wake him. God motherhood is hard, I am so over making decisions and dealing with it all atm even though we had a lovely day I am just tired and headachy. I better go before my whinging gets tedious!
-
Christine I so hear ya and I've only got 1! Darcy used to want to go to bed at 4.30 and then she'd be awake and raring to go at 4am!
-
Haha about making you feel inspired/guilty! I honestly didn't do all that much!! I would have stopped at the smashed lid - I hope dinner tasted good after all that!!
Christine I hope you get a good nights sleep!
Em just went down to sleep and its DVD time now. I've been jabbering all day long and now there's nothing left to say!! LOL!
Night girls!
-
kim - at least you went ot the effort, i just finnished a frozen meal for the second night in a row, DH is working late shifts, i'm really looking forward to a home cooked meal tomorrow night though

Hey Girls,
I’m meant to be packing now but I thought I would drop in quickly and see what you are all up to
Elissa: I haven’t worn a dress since I was 4 mths pregnant….So naturally I’m a little nervous on what it looks like haha, I’ll get pics at the wedding I might look half decent there haha.
Vic: Jayden and I leave Bundy Friday and we’ll be staying in Buderim overnight then go to the airport Saturday. Chris is coming down on the 8th Feb, closer to the wedding. Then we all fly back to the Sunny Coast on the 12th Feb. So 2.5 weeks for Jayden and I….I can’t wait!!! OMG I don’t know if I’ll be able to handle it with 4 kids….good luck with that hahaha. Congratulations at your job prospects, I hope it all works out for you
Nat: Jayden and I are both better thank god!!! We don’t get sick often so I’m a sook when I do get sick….Jayden is much better at coping with it. I thought it was time for an updated pic…BTW I keep meaning to say how cute your ticker is too! That’s great you enjoyed your getaway….. Love the colour of the shack!!
Alison: I think unless babies could talk and tell you whats wrong, you’re not expected to just know why they are upset…..It doesn’t make you a bad mother at all. I hope Cooper is feeling better.
I can’t wait to get to Melbourne, we are going straight to my friends (the bride) house to crash her bridal shower…..She thinks we are arriving closer to the wedding…Her face will be priceless!! Oops been on here a bit too long, it is so hot in this room (its closed up cause the A/C is on in the lounge).
Have a great night girls and great couple of weeks if I don’t get on
oxox

Awww Vic that sounds wonderful! LOL @ me not inspiring you. I was happy I wasn't the only one wasting time. I'm normally such a productive person to LOL.
Elissa LOL @ the frozen meals!! I have been a good girl and haven't had them lately!! I have been meal planning when I do my grocery shops and its working a treat!!
Em was asleep and is now awake - oh boy this is not good!
ETA I missed your post Tania. Sounds as though you're gonna have a blast! You'll look hot in a dress! How nice of you to surprise her. I would love to see her face as well!! I hope you enjoy your time away!

Darcy learned to clap yesterday. Now, everytime she stops what she's doing she finds a reason to clap. It's so funny.
Made the best muffins just now form scratch....and I didn't burn or break anything! :D
-
neverplan - that is so gorgeous they're so young and they still know how to look after each other! i think you prob have me convinced to just keep churning them out lol. i just get so petrified of m/s, and exhaustion, im a scaredy cat.
tania - have an awesome weekend, im sure your dress will look stunning.
kim - yay for darcy! archie has no clue when it comes to clapping. and well done on the muffins
i am actually bored! this hasn't happened for ages, arch has been asleep for over 2 hours....i wonder if he is okay....NO I WILL NOT GO AND CHECK ON HIM... we all know that they wake up when we do that he he he
-
Katy's a clapper Kim. Every time she does something she thinks is clever, she'll look at you and clap and then put her arms up as if HOORAY.... So cute. One day she did it non stop....
Well It's been a week since I got my licence and I am over driving. It freaks me out. Just tonight some hoon in a VL V8 Commodore did a burnout behind me at a roundabout (the one near the school Kim), and then followed me, no tailgated would be the better word (about 10cm from my bumper) all the way into where I was picking up dinner. Tried to run me off the road I swear. And I did nothing wrong. I was in the roundabout before he got near it and it was like he had the poops with me. Then I got out to get my hamburger (great for the diet I know :( )... and he had gone around the block and then did a burn out right near my car, setting off the alarm.
I was on my own and so scared I did not want to drive home but what choice did I have. When I got here I was shaking, and did not feel like eating after that. I have told Mark that unless I have to I am not keen on driving after today.
People are idiots out there, absolute idiots - and the majority are P platers, but what about the ones that do the right thing? People are up your tail so often it's like they're encouraging you to speed.
Sorry for my rant . . . it's actually brought me to tears tonight. I'm over it. I'm over the diet . . . I'm over it. How can I be putting on weight when I am on a diet.... It's not worth it. I guess some people were born to be fat. I think I am one of them. I don't want to go back to work on Monday week, and I don't particularly want to leave my little ray of sunshine either.
:( I think I might just go to bed. That's where everyone is tonight. DH came home with a headache and Katy's stuffed from being out today she'll probably sleep through till at least 5.
Nite.
-
Darcy did that the other day too Elissa (trust me it's a rareity for her). I know what you mean though.
Vic your story made me think about my age gap preference too. Mel is just so lovely.
We posted at the same time Leanne. I've sent you an email.
-
Oh Leanne, hugs to you, you poor darling. I know how you feel about dieting- I've just eaten 3 cinnamon donuts in depression! I hate people like that on the road, especially when you are by yourself it makes you feel horrible doesn't it.
Riley is screaming in his cot so I'd better go and comfort him because apparantly I am the only person aware of him!!
-
leanne - things always seem better in the morning, have a good sleep.
neverplan - poor adam, i hate vacs! he should wake up feeling better in the morning though.
Archie is pooped, i don't think i'll hear from him again til the morning, fingers crossed, i can barely keep my eyes open either, but i can still manage to sit here and eat icecream....

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY
HAPPY 8ths JAYDEN!!!
Sorry no personals this morning
IL's feel it necessary to leave in the morning (8am) I was up until 2.30am packing, washing, folding, washing and preparing bottles and food etc because I don't have the morning that I had planned.
I also didn't want to spend all day at SIL #5 house. I have no room in their car to take the pram which means I have to carry Jayden (9kgs+) around all day........I wanted to go late afternoon so I had heaps of time this morning to finish packing, visit a friend. A sleep in would have been nice too seen as I have worked all week!!I just wanted enough time to pretty much just have time to have dinner there and go to bed.
Sorry for my rant......I have had 3.5hrs sleep, AF is late and it'll be just my luck I will get it in the car during my 3 hrs trip with the IL's LOL on the plus side, Vic I sent you an email with my mobile # I'd love to catch up if we're able to, just not sure what we are doing...Chris's family aren't always the best for communication.
Oh Jayden is crawling properly now and of course getting into everything!! He is trying to say my dogs name (Aker) he leaves out the "k" but you ask him to call Aker and he looks around and says "A...Aer" its so cute.
Sheree and Lachie have moved, it was hard not to cry when we said goodbye. They arrived safely on Wenesday. I probably won't hear much from her in the next few weeks as they won't have internet and they will be very busy no doubt.
Ok I better get the boy up and ready....would hate to be late LOL
Big hugs to mummy's and bubby's!! Hope you all stay safe for the Australia Day weekend
oxoxox

Have a great holiday Tania!!!!
Drive safe love.
The six month needles stuffed Darc around too....wonder which ones the nasty one? Hope Adams feeling better.

Morning Girls!!!!
Just popping in to say at really big HI!!!!!
We are going ok. Briley is not crawling, pulling herself up or even walking yet!! No teeth either!!! Slow one here!!!
I am not going to do personals cause i have'nt been on for so long there is soo much to catch up on. I have been through and scanned the posts though. Everyone seems to be doing relatively well.
I am ok. 13 weeks today. This pregnancy is going to quick its just great!!! Totally different to Briley's pregnancy.
I did the ring test the other day and again yesterday and it showed a boy both times!!! I am not going to find out though.
Hope you are all well. I will be on tonight to post again. Mum is up for the weekend and brought along her laptop and that is what i am on. My computer is still sick. Stupid thing.
Anyhooo......BBL
Oh and my mate Michelle had a little Boy last saturday. They called him Rian. He was born 7lbs 3oz and was 51cm. She had him at 11.22am after an 18 hour labour. Her waters broke at 11.15am and she had him 7 minutes later. They are all doing fine.
-
Great to hear from you Sara... (email on it's way!)....
Leanne... hope you're feeling better this morning (and DH too).
Neverplan.... I hope Adam is feeling better too. I'm lucky that shaun never reacted to any of this shots.
Tania... it's so cute that Jayden is saying the dogs name. I'm sure Shaun will say "billy" (our cat) before mum or dad! Shaun is obsessed with our cat. Hope you have a good break.
Lea... hope your life has become more organised! I'm on a bit of a mission myself. I'm in the process of sorting out all my clothes. I'm going to space bag the stuff that's too small and maternity, and donate/throw away a heap of stuff. I need order!!!
Elissa: re meals... I get loads of fruits & veges, and I cut them all up and microwave them. Sometimes I purree some of them, some mash (so it's a little lumpy). Then I freeze them in ice cube trays, then put them into ziplock bags. So when it's meal time I take out 2-4 cubes, defrost them and mix them with other stuff like: pasta, jar of baby food (like the steak/chicken ones), yogurt, banana, rice meal, weetbix. I also give shaun some toast fingers. It usually takes me 1/2 a day to do all the fruit/veg preperation, but it's so worth it to have the right size fruit & veg (that's been frozen fresh) when you need it. I couldn't think about preparing fruits & veges individually every meal. I introduced the vaalia baby yogurt to Shaun yesterday and he loved it!
Happy 8th month Jayden
Shaun has been good... although he's going back to his old night-time sleeping habits. He went through a stage of sleeping through the night... but now he's waking up at midnight (where he resettles), 3-4am (where he doesn't resettle and I end up bringing him in with us because I just don't have the energy). I thought it was teething (because he's got none) - but there is still no sign of teeth coming through. Got to happen sometime... he's 8 months old tomorrow!
Hope you all have a happy Australia Day!!!!! We're getting stuck into our garden.
