Sheree~ there not going now :doh: but thanks for all the info
HELLO ALL
just popping in to say hi.
Oh Sara hun. I know it's awful but try to think of the positives of the last few days of your unique relationship with this baby....:hug:
Shazz, back to CD1 - BUT at least it's with a normal AF, so I'm not too upset. :D
Hope the vapouriser works Sheree. I love the smell of them.....
Yay for cd1 Kim, whahoooo..... you are right that is a big start!
Bugger Shazz, gawd the best laid plans...................
Hi girls...
I've been so flat out in the last week. Our "open house" inspection on Saturday. But on wed/thur/fri we had 8 groups of people through! On Saturday we went out and there were 20 groups of people through in 1/2 an hour. The real estate agent wasn't able to talk to many of them. Apparantly thats a great number for people to come through. I cracked it with the real estate owner though because I'm sick of people coming through every single day when we have a specific open day. And I was not happy with the photographs that were taken. So we have decided on two weekdays and the Saturday. And he says we will get some more photos taken. Bit bloody late! vent over.
I went for another 20 week scan today. The one I had 2 weeks ago showed an anomily (?) with the babies stomach, and because the stenographer went on holidays the following day I was booked in next week for another scan. But I had an appointment with my ob tomorrow morning - and he was unaware of the results from the scan 2 weeks ago! I found another stenographer near my salon and booked in for today. They bulk bill, which was another bonus, after paying out nearly $400 for two scans so far. But when I got to the appointment I explained the situation and he said that I couldn't get another scan under medicare. :( I was upset... although I didn't cry. He felt sorry
for me so he told me to jump on the bed. He checked all the measurements, with attention on the stomach. He asked what time I had the last scan and I said around 1pm, and he said "I think the doc had a few extra ales at lunch". He said the babies tummy is fine... as is everything else. Phew. He even had a 4D scan machine - and he got me some graphics, and printed off the best photo of the babies hand. Baby was a bit camera shy, so he couldn't get a 4D head shot. But baby looks good, and that's all that counts.
Spoke to the bank tonight, and we are in a catch 22 with finance. We can get a huge loan - but we can't get bridging finance. So we have to wait until we sell & settle on our house before we can buy & settle on another house. We really don't want to rent as that will be a pain with 3 animals and a baby on the way. So our best option is to find a house when we sell ours - and match up the settlement dates - and hopefully the new owner of our current house will allow us to rent our home for a few weeks. Big ask!!
Shaun has been terrific. His naps have been thrown all over the place due to this house thing. I took him for his swim lesson today, and he loved it. He is a real little fish, although he won't kick his legs. He got his first pair of real shoes today. I went to a childrens shoe specialist because I couldn't work out his size, and couldn't get his feet into shoes at the department store. So $60 later he has a cute pair of size 5 shoes that he had no problems walking in. My little baby is growing up into a little boy.
Sorry I can't do personals tonight as I'm really tired. I just caught up on the last couple of pages... and got so excited when I saw Sara's post thinking she was in labour. It won't be long now. Will have to keep a closer eye on the thread, just incase it really happens!
Jodie I hated when we had an auction a couple of years ago now, such an invasion of privacy and soooo many sticky beaks!!!!
Well done on the scan, boy am I pleased, I was soooo concerned! What a **** your last stenographer. So please all is well!
Gosh size 5, my boy is lucky to be a size 3, but I have bought 4's for him to grown into.
Good boy Shaun on sleeping for mummy while so much is going on. So he is a fish too huh, same here. Lachlan loves the water, pitty no heated pools out here, he would love to still be going to swimming lessons.
I really hope the new owners let you rent for a couple of weeks, that is really your best option, surely they will?
Take care honey.
Oh Great news about baby Jodie!!!!
You know Darcy only had 4 teeth until about 2 weeks ago? Well in the last 2 weeks we have gotten all BUT 4 of her teeth - I love teething NOT!!!! Poor kid. We didn't even own teething gel until yesterday when her stupid parents figured out what was wrong....
I'm eating toblerone mousse out of a brandy ballon that's as big as my head (thanks mum)....just thought I'd share.......
Holy crap that is a lot of teeth to come through Kim!!! Poor Darcy!
Jodie you sound soooo busy!!! Em is in a size 5 now as well. I just bought him these gorgeous little brown suede boots from Kmart. He has about 4 pairs of shoes now lol & he loves putting them on! I can see a shoe addiction starting...
Sheree Glad you went to the Dr's and starting to feel better.
Back at uni today and lotsa homework already *sigh* Will of course be in and out from now on. Sorry to those I don't do personals to or miss! I'm going to try and pop in and do quick posts like this rather then disappear for weeks on end lol.
Will chat soon!
Just popping in to say Hi!
PAt is still crawling and has 7 teeth, he hates anything on his feet and is still waking up nearly every hour and a half, sometimes I think I still have a newborn baby!
We have moved up to the NSW/Vic border as things went haywire in Euroa.... we now have a 4br house and its only 6 doors down from the kids new school.
Morning girls!
Well i am feeling very crappy today. I was really tired lastnight and thought i would make an early night of it and went to bed at 8.30. Well just like every other time i go to bed early, i get woken up every 2 hours the whole night!! Grrrrr. I had a full day of pains yesterday and lastnight so i think this might have taken a bit out of me making me feel like sh*t today.
Does anyone know what its like to gradually lose you mucous plug???? What did it look like for you?? Lastnight during the night when i would go to the toilet, when i would wipe i would have sticky snot-like mucous. Not heaps but a fair bit. I have been getting this on and off for weeks now. Could it just be normal CM???
You'd think i'd know but i lost my MP after my waters broke with Briley and it was like a giant blob of snot with blood in it. Not little bits like i am losing now.
Briley is good. Still being a cheeky monkey. She is really starting to understand commands and sentences now. Like if i say "Bring mummy the teddy bear" when i am packing her toys away, she will walk over and get it and bring it too me. Its just too cute!
She has also taken to climbing into things like boxes, clothes baskets etc etc. Yesterday she climbed in the box we use for fire wood, threw out the wood then got out of the box and put all the wood back. She makes me laugh so much sometimes.
Her second top tooth is about to cut. You can see it clear as through the gum so now its just a matter of breaking through. And the mysterious back one that has emerged has'nt come down any more. They must take ages to come through fully hey???
I am taking her for a hair cut again this week. Her hair just grows too quick. She looks like a boy at the moment.
Oh and she starts her first day of CC on thursday. I am kinda excited for her. She really does love to play with other little girls. Not her age though. She likes to play with girls who are about 3-4. She must just like that they can do more than babies her own age, don't know!
Nice to hear from you Jess. Glad to hear everything is going good.
Ok then, better go and make Briley and me some breakfast. Hope you are all well.
Hey Jess!!
How funny are they Sara? I feel like I spend half the day laughing at Darcy.
Yesterday morning I had to work but she insisted on getting up while I was getting ready, so I put her Sesame street DVD on. She was propped up on the lounge but could hardly keep her eyes open - until Twinkle Twinkle came on and them UP went the hands. It was so cute. i waste a lot of the day just watching her.
Today however she's a cranky cow.
Mmmm what did everyone say????
Lets see......
God Kim, that was like lachlan at 9 mths we got 5 teeth all at once, but I think you beat us on the 2 week period, think ours was a bit longer, but not much.
Hope to see you around again soon Nat! Gl with uni. Also Lachlan loves shoes and he has a full shelf of them, probably about 10 or more shoes, now..... who has the shoe fettish lol.
Hi Jess
Sara - can't help u on the mucous plug, never lost mine! Which leads me to think Lachlan wasn't coming out for ages really. Lachlan understands heaps too, I think he understands way better then he talks. He gets me stuff all the time, like elmo, the teddy, his socks, his shoes.
Lachlan slept much better last night with his vapouriser, he coughed all night still though, amazes me how he can still sleep through that coughing. But he only woke up at 1.30am, which is great in our eyes.
OMG so many babies are being born!!!
I was just watching a show on austar called House of Babies. They reckon that when you are approaching a full moon it triggers lots of woment too go into labour. We have our full moon on the 30th July!! I am beginning to think this might be true considering all the ladies that are having their babies right now!!!
Will i be next????
SIA for the TMI but i have been getting diorhea(sp??) all day for the first time this pregnancy!!! I read thats a sign that labour is approaching!!!
Finger crossed!!
Oh and also....I had Briley 6 days before a full moon!!!
You're right there have been a lot today! My MP came all at once, but i did have the runs big time in the days before I had Darcy.
Cam's just got offered a job in the bush (not where he applied). I did my Nursing training there years ago and I love the town (Griffith), but now all of a sudden I want to be near my mum - but to get away from the ILs I have to leave her too, and i'll be 6hours away from any private hospital and my specialists if I have another baby....what to do what to do....
Sara ~ i lost parts of my MP first bit was middle of the night second bit the following day and that was a week before i had ryan and i had never had it with any of the other kids
Kim ~ oh how exciting best of luck with what ever you and cam decide
Kim- that's such a hard one! we moved away from mum when we went to Darwin and I really didn't cope without her once I had Erin. We came back after 14 months which I'm glad we did because in the end i only got another 2 years with her. Sorry that turned into a bit of a downer LOL At least Griffith you can drive to easily, basically good luck deciding!
Kim - your decision totally, but I just feel so isolated where we live, no family support, no friends and I am really feeling it after a comment from a so-called online friend that I had made (on another site forum - been there for years) when she made a comment after I made a comment about being ignored on the threads and I asked why? Geez am I making sense, my head is all over the place. People can be so cruel and the comment is actually make me reasses myself. I feel so down. I thought coming on and posting was my outlet and my support base, now I am starting to wonder if I complain and whinge too much and I turn people off me!
Her post to me was:
Sheree, i hope this doesn't offend but sometimes I don't reply because you posts are often about things going wrong or something bad happened or whatever (obviously not your fault) but I guess I'm just being selfish to say that it brings me down too. I'm only saying this because you were asking why ppl don't reply. I lub you though.
And my post back saying goodbye and good riddens was:
I know I asked to know and I appreciate it but I just wanted to say that I am sorry if I complain too much. I'd like to see you all the situation I have been in at times and how you would have coped, I guess you are all lucky! I feel so much lack of support from such comments and just maybe I never really had it like I thought. I respect and love so many of you girls, that is why it really hurts me. And I wasn't saying I wanted to get married, I have only ever said I would like a ring, the marriage thing is not important to me and would rather walk down the isle with my children at a later date. The different names for us is confusing to people at times, so that is why I am changing my name at the names registry office! I didn't think I always posted things that would bring people down, I tried to talk to and encourage others and I thought I did have some happy moments to share. So sorry if this was not the case. I will be saying goodbye for now and going to reaccess myself as I do not at all now feel good about myself. Nice knowing you all!
The truth hurts I guess at the end of the day, and I am sorry if anyone has felt the same about this on here too! Being sick and tired does not help with my negativity towards this. I am so down and out and can't stop crying.
Kim - didn't mean to put a damper on your situation at the end of the day u know what is best for you and your family xoxo
Sheree...
Hugs to you. You have every right to tell us your problems - as we all tell our problems - and it's not too much, or a problem for us. We are glad that we can be your shoulder.
And I am grateful to all of you guys that I can vent whenever I'm p***ed off with my DH, my real estate agent, my staff - and everyone else that p***es me off.
I enjoy hearing all the stories from you girls - warts and all. The joyous moments are great, but the ugly moments realise that we all have problems with our kids.
Sheree... you have gone through hell and back in the last year. I think you've copped more grief then any of us. Between Lachlans medical problems, and moving home and work. You must be such a strong woman!
Don't ever be nervous about telling us your problems. That's what friends are for.
Okay - my latest problem :lol:
I got an email from my mother a hour or so ago.
I haven't seen her for about 8 years. Yariv has never met her. The closest he came was when she left some of my belongings out the front of her house and told me to pick them up. Yariv & I had just started seeing each other, and he came out with me to get them. I told her about my 1st pregnancy about 1 month before I gave birth. As yet, she doesn't know about the 2nd pregnancy; although I was going to tell her at some point. She lives in NSW (don't know where). She is coming down to Melbourne for 3 days (for a wedding) and wants to meet me, Yariv & Shaun. I once told her that if she came to melbourne we could meet somewhere neutral (like a shopping centre or cafe). So I guess I am going to meet up with her (end of September). Yariv wasn't too impressed... he said we should just leave a box out front with a note on it :lol: He'll come - if only to support me. It's weird, but normally this sort of event would have me in turmoil - but right now, I've got more important things to worry about.
Good news:
I went to my ob today. Although just prior to my appointment he had to go to the hospital (next door) and perform an emergency ceasar. So I had to wait 1.5 hours. But it wasn't so bad. And he said that the u/s result were all good, and baby is feeling fine. My next appointment is in 6 weeks - then I will see him a bit more regularly after that.
Kim - when do you have to make a decision about the job? Have you decided?
Sara - Shaun is like spiderman! He crawls into and onto everything. Last night he discovered the print on our wall... so he gets on the couch, puts one leg on the arm and one leg on the TOP of the couch, so that he can reach over and swing the print. At occassional care today, when I picked him up, they said he climbs on everything too. If they turn for two seconds - he's standing ON the table! I wonder how many bones he will break in his future years???
Hey Girls......OMG i haven't been on in ages!!
Things have been more than crazy around here. As you know we have had the house on the market so I have been busy keeping it clean for the open houses and the during the week inspections......I know where you are coming from Jodie, trying to do that while working FT, having a 1yo, a 30yo, 2 dogs & a cat is not easy! There is light at the end of the tunnel......I will now be offically homeless in 29 days!! I missed out on the house that I wanted but I am having a look at a couple more today, 1 is on an acre block and the house is only 8mths old so I can't wait to see it.
Chris and Jayden have been sick with a cold, I've been getting the razor blade throat and the coughing mainly but I'm not too bad. Jayden has been waking every night (multiple times) coughing and crying for the past 2 weeks, I haven't been coping with that as I (of course) am the only one capable of getting up to him even though I have work the next day too. Yesterday I had enough and took him to the Dr's and its turned into an infection so poor Jayden but YAY for me I can't send him to daycare so I'm staying home with him for the next 2 days....I feel awful saying that but I am in desperate need of a break! No more teeth yet but the runny nose and nappy rash made me think more were on the way but the Dr said it was just part of the infection oh and he might be getting conjunctivitis(SP?) too.
Jayden is showing his independance so much more these days, he is starting to not want to hold my hand when we are out although he will if I make him. He thinks he can just step down steps without holding on, which he can if its just 1 step but he tries it on 3 or 4 steps. He is obsessed with horses and dogs. There was a toy horse at the chemist (behind the counter at the back of the shop) and he is going "click click click" I was looking everywhere for the horse then finally saw it myself. When i take him to FDC I have to run past the back gate just in case my nieces pony is there otherwise Jayden cries until we have gone to say hello to her. His latest thing is kissing everything! You tell him to kiss anything and he will esp if its a mirror! He now takes his night bottle kisses Chris, the dogs, the cat, any other visitor here then me good night and takes himself to his cot and waits for me to put him in...its so cute!!!
Well enough about me......Not sure if I can keep up with a thread and a half of personals, I have read through most of it though
Sara: Hope this little bub of yours comes very soon, I have been thinking of you! My guess is 31st July and a girl. I love the new belly pic!
Christine & Nat: Thanks for noticing I was missing.
Sheree: What an awful thing for her to say! We are here to listen and support each other....even if it doesn't seem like that sometimes.
Well better see my sick little boy and give him some medicine
Take Care
oxoxox
Hey Tania... I thought you were talking about me when you said: 30yo, 1yo, 2 dogs & a cat. I have the same!!! Although Yariv is 32yo ;) And I sort of have a full time job. Although I don't actually go to work. Thank god I've got staff - although they are running it into the ground :rolleyes:
Great to hear from you Tania!! you have been busy! Jayden sounds adorable. He sounds like a little man... much older then he is. Shaun doesn't do half the stuff Jayden does - and they're only a day apart.
Morning girls!
Feeling like total crap thismorning. I first woke up at 3am with strong period like pains. I could'nt sleep so i decided to get up and see if they were just period pains or contractions. They stopped. So i went back to bed and woke up to Briley screaming at 6.45am. I felt like sh*t. She did'nt look her best either. I thought maybe we had caught a bug somewhere as i tried to take some panadol with a glass of cordial and brang it straight back up.
The pains have continued all morning and are becoming much more regular with tightenings now. I am keeping an eye on them to see if they stay regular or are just BH. I think the pains are what is upsetting my stomach.
Briley seems to be ok now. I am just trying to put her down for a sleep. She still look quite glassy eyed though. I really hope we're not getting sick. Thats all i need.
Well i have a clinic appointment at 1.15 today so hopefull i might be back with some good news.
I will keep you guys posted.
Hope you are all well.
Take Care
Just quickly popping through for a visit before mum comes around for dinner!
Sara – You still there sweety!?!?! You’re doing mighty well. Not long to go now! GL with Briley’s first day of CC!
Kim ~ LOVE LOVE LOVE the new photo!!! That is a great offer but such a big move and decision. I wouldn’t cope personally without any support but its different for me cause I’m on my own.
Sheree ~ Em needs more shoes lol!!! I can’t wait to start getting him some summer ones! He was wearing his new ones today and they are just sooooo cute. I think he is definitely a size 5 now which means time for more shoes ;) And we love you sweety!!! You post about what ever is going on in your life – good or bad, just like the rest of us do!
Jodie ~ WOW about your mum. That is pretty big hey? Glad you’re not getting worked up over it though!
Tania ~ So glad to see you honey! Was about to email you as well! That is a gorgeous pic of Jayden there. Sounds like you have been flat out as well! That is so cute that he says goodnight and toddles off to bed! Em still fights bed time like its evil lol.
Went out for coffee with friends this morning and then out for a walk this afternoon. I have decided that Wednesdays I won’t do any studying unless Em is having a nap. I would rather spend the day playing with him I think. Mum is coming over and bringing dinner with her – her special chicken mmmm. And I am starving too! I can’t wait.
Will talk soon!
xoxo
sara - my mucus plug came out all at once about 5 hours before labour started, i don't remember getting the runs though. Goodluck with CC tomorrow!
kim - its a big decision moving away from your mum when your having babies, i was 5 hours away from mum for my pregnancy til Arch was 7 months old and it made it a lot harder, now i am down the road from mum but am 5 hours away from the best hospital in the state where i gave birth to archie, i am very nervous about having next bub at the country hospital, heard horror stories of not being able to get epidural til several hours after requested!!!!!!!! well done cam though, and i lve the new sig pic!
sheree - WTF!! To be perfectly honest i have just sat here and reall tried hard to remember a time that i felt like you wre a whinger and bringing me down, but i really have never felt that way about you! i think you are wonderful and have given me a lot of support, you and the other girls in here are a wonderful support for me cause i don't know anyone in this town who is at the same stage of life as me, so being able to talk to yo is a lifesaver for me, you are nothing but positive in my books!
jodie - the situation with your mum sounds VERY similar to the situation with DH's dad. We haven't seen him since our wedding and we live in the same small town, he has never met Archie and doesn't intend on it for some wierd reason only known to him and his new wife. It is really a difficult situation in that you want to not let her bring her negativity into your life again, but you also don't want to deprive your son of a grandparent, very tough...(that is how we feel anyway..) Goodluck, its great that Yariv is supporting your decision even though he doesn't neccessarily agree with it, i hope something positive comes out of the meeting.
tania - great to hear from you again, poor Jayden (and you!) hope you both get healthy soon. Arch does kisses on command too, very cute isn't it?! jayden looks so grown up in the new pic. Congrats on the house!
nat - good on you for just chilling out and enjoying some special time with Em, hope your chicken was good!
Archie is over the horrible cough now, still has a little cough bt nothing much. He is such a little parrot now! he copies whole sentences, today he said "theres your shoes!" and "the simpsons is on", very cute, no-one else would be able to tell thats what hes saying but its clear enough for me to be able to understand. He has just started to be full-on, he sprints everywhere and gets into absolutely everything i have been yelling at him at times cuase sometimes it drives me insane to be repeating myself and cleaning the exact same things over and over again, i feel so horrible yelling too! God give me strength to survive this child!
Hi girls,
Well i went to my clinic appointment today at 1.30 and did'nt leave until 4.30. I told them i had been having contractions since 3am and they wanted to put me on the CTG for a while. Once on there we found that babies heart rate was really fast. Over 160 BPM. So i was left on the CTG for 2 hours. Baby was very active and would'nt sleep and this is why the HR was so high. They ended up saying everthing was fine and to go home and rest.
Other than that not much to report. Still getting irregular painful tightenings. I am soooo tired from my body working so much. I just want the baby out now. Terrible thing to say i know but thats how it is.
Briley is ok now. Still quite glassy eyed and red around the eyes. I will wait to see how she wakes up before i make a decision about her going to DC. I don't really want to send her if she is'nt well.
Well i am off to have an early night. I am sooo tired.
Did you feel like this towards the end with an IU Shazz??? Speaking of Shazz, i have'nt seen her around the last couple of days. Anyone heard from her???
Hope you are all well.
Ni night girls.
Gosh Vic - it must be terrible having a full household sick, geez must be so hard.
Sara - you must be exhausted honey, no wonder you want this baby out!
Omg Elissa - you are so so kind. I have been feeling really down about all this as there was more said today too and you have really made me feel sooo much better. Gosh Archie can speak well! I still think Lachlan understands better then he talks, guess I shouldn't worry it is only early days. He doesn't really try to talk, but he has definite sounds that I recognise that other wouldn't!
Nat - hope your dinner was nice and I agree take a day off study feel and spend with your little man.
Tania - gosh you have been one busy girl. And did you sell your house? Did you get what you wanted for it? Another sick household hey! Hope you all get better soon.
sara - your poor tired body, i can totally understand you wanting that baby out now, i said those exact words to my doctor on my due date, and forced him to book an induction day, ended up going into labour minutes before the gels.
sheree - im not kind just honest. yeah Arch is doing okay in the speaking department, before you know it lachlan will just burst out with heaps of clear words, i think a lot of kids just hide their words inside and collect them for a little while, then surprise mum and dad by all of the sudden coming out with complete sentences, each at their own pace hey! I've had a few mums lately say how great a walker and talker he is compared to thier bub but i always say to them that Arch will probably be in nappies til he's 4 while theirs is toilet trained by 18 months....they all do things in their own time..I'm really glad you are feeling maore positive about yourself now, you deserve to.
Must be a full moon appraoching.....
Don't cry Sheree. :hug: It makes it doubly hard with this sort of communication because even though you read it with one intonation, someone else reads it differently becasue the words aren't spoken, and conversation is only 9% of communication. You have had a crappy year. BUT some fantastic things have come out of it for you. Make sure you choose to welcome what's best for you. If that (or any other) chat board brings you down, then choose not to go there. Everyone has a right to be validated and accepted as they are.
Sara, princess. Your poor body. I really really really hope you get to meet this little person soon.
Vic, oh my! Hope there are some swift reocveries for you there.
Nat. I think that's a great plan.
Jodie, wow that's a huge step isn't it? Do you want to meet up with your mum?
Tania, so glad to see you hadn't forgotten us :D Wow so you've sold your house already? Cool! Doesn't Jayden look gorwn up in that picture?! Hope he's better soon too.
We have just had the hugest fight about this move....all becasue I just wanted some of my concerns validated - and he wonders why it got so bottled up I imploded last time....:angry:
Thanks again Elissa I really appreciate your sincerity. And yeah I am not worried about lachlan, he has surprised me heaps when I didn't think he was going to do something he did, so yes he will do it in his own time.
Now kim, I specifically came on here to thank you. And thank you whole heartedly, cause what you have said is absolutely right and I feel that you have saved the day. Right when I needed ya, you came through for me and I appreciate it so much. You are right, I shouldn't doubt myself, and I shouldn't change who I am, people should just accept me for who I am. Gee I have been so down on this and all of a sudden everything just seems so much clearer. Thank you! xoxo
As for the move, it is a big decision and yes you deserve to have the answers set right in your mind. GL with it.
Thanks hun. Glad I could make a difference.
Well the decision has been made easier. They've got an education position I can job share with so that will be cool. Feel better this morning.
WEll that sounds promising then Kim.
Woo Hoo Kim!!!
I'm guessing that's good news.
So... when will the move be?
As for your question re my mum...
If I never saw her again, it wouldn't bother me at all. The minimum contact that we currently have is also fine by me. So I won't be overjoyed to see her again - but I'm not angry or bitter at her. I just have no feelings what-so-ever. Whereas, I think she will lay on all the "motherly love" so thick - that it will make me sick. We will just have to see how the meeting goes. I'm doing it for her sake - not for mine, and not for Shaun. He has 2 grandmas - Yariv's mum (who will be here in November) and my stepmum who he adores. My fear is that she will consider moving back to Melbourne, especially when she finds out I'm having another baby. My mum makes enemies where-ever she moves - thus the reason she left Melb. No doubt she has ****ed off a few people in her current suburb. Also her husband (her 3rd) sent me an email indicating that he wanted to leave her. So if she was alone, she would probably move back here. I have told her that if she ever wanted to be a part of our life, the condition was she (and I) would have to have counselling. This is something she doesn't think she needs - pfft!!!
jodie - some peoples minds work in mysterious ways! Its great that you don't let things with your mum affect you.
kim - sorry you ended up in a fight with DH, good news about the job for you though.
Archie got up earlier than usual this morning, so we wnt and got a lock for the kitchen food cupboard so he can stop helping himself constantly during the day, this has helped my anger and frustration a lot! The we went to the playground and had the whole big playground to ourselves arch ran off all his energy and is now in bed re-energising. I am just making a mushroom meatloaf for dinner, mmmmmmm mmmm.
hi all i'm here thanks sara
and to answer your question hun i was so so very over my body working extra hard it wasn't funny still to this day if i get a tummy ache even i cry i'm so over pain
yay kim when is the big move
hi everyone else i'm off to bed
Oh Kim I'll be sad if you go now that I have finally met you IRL!!!! Are you able to come to the Sydney dinner on the 11th? I seem to remember that you couldn't for some reason, can you Leanne? Anyone else want to pop up/down to Sydney for the night???? Maybe we could have a May babies meet up at a central point, how much fun would that be?? Wonder where the central point of us all is?
Anyway enough rambling, I will attempt personals before Jess rings to pick her up.
Sheree- the problem with the internet as Kim said is that you can't hear tone or see the body language which accompanies a comment. I think Kim's post was very well put and I can't really think of a better way to say it. You have to decide how to react and whether you will let the opinion of one person affect how you feel about yourself.
Tania Glad you are back hun, what an exhausting time you have had!! When do you move?
got to go Jess ready!!
Thanks girlies. We think it will be after the end of September.
Jodie, good for you.
Christine I'm going to try and go, but Cam goes to his new unit on Sunday and there's no roster. I'll see if mum can manage her for an evening.
Elissa, we've had to put latches on all our cupboards- otherwise the adventurer thinks it's open slather....
