sheree - its so nice of you to think of me today. WOOHOO on the Dyson!! We bought one 3 years ago and LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! It really is amazing how much it gets out of the feral carpet, we haven't had any problems with ours yet, the head gets clogged up every now and again but it is so simple to pull apart and unclog takes about 30 seconds!

kim - thankyou for thinking of me, it means a lot. Hope the gastro is gone by the time you wake up in the morning.

My appointment went well, i was so anxious all day about it, but as always the Gp was great and he prescribed me some meds which i got filled out straight away at the chemist. have taken my first dose and am now anxious about getting side effects, i am just hanging out for the initial few weeks to pass so i can hopefully feel relaxed for the first time in a long time.

When we finished in the drs and went back to the car i realised that "woofa" was no where to be seen i thought, great no sleep tonight then, went back in to the drs and found him sitting on the front counter waiting for us, someone had apparently found him on the footpath outside and bought him in incase we were still here. Gave me warm fuzzies to think that someone had cared enough about the child who lost it, to take it in and find the owner. Archie was very relieved to find him! Didn't really have $26.50 to spend on a replacement so phew!

[~Kim~]

Hopefully you only get mild side effects this time. Good to hear you're OK.

Lucky about woofa too. It's always nice to think there are a few good people left in this world.

[shereejoy]

Are they antidepressants Elissa? I am guessing so. I was on some about 6 years ago now and they got me thru some really rough times. Didn't have too much of a problem with the side effects thank god.

So glad your appt went well and you can try to get control again. what a nice feeling.

Yay on finding woofa. We loose little elmo all the time and OMG the amt of times we have gone searching for it and we still have it YAY!!!!!

Yeah wade spent $749 on this vacuum cleaner which I initally freaked about but everyone says they are well worth it. Hope we get alot of years out of it now.

[Ilithyia]

Evening girls!

I will get to my mum after personals. This is going to sounds mean but i am really pi$$ed at her right now!

Kim - YAY on making 3000 posts!!! Thats a lot of posts hun! And how sweet on you to spend it on us!!! Glad you don't have gastro! Was about to say you could be up the duff but Cam has'nt been around has he!?! (Unless the milkman has paid a visit! )

Sheree - I would LOVE a good vacumn cleaner!!! Oh how to feel the power of a good sucking vacumn!!! Man that sounds so dodgy! LOL! Are you feeling better now??? I am soooo clucky at the moment! Weirdly (is that a word?!?!?!), i had some spotting yesterday and now its gone! Ofcourse i can't be pregnant cause the Mirena has a 99.9% success rate! Just my wishful thinking i spse!

Elissa - Glad to hear the Dr's went well hun. It was'nt as bad as you thought i was going to be was it. All that fretting for nothing. Speaking of fretting, i left the girls with Brent's aunty today and i fretted the whole time! I have'nt felt like that in ages. I just felt so $hit about not being with them. And here i am thinking about going back to work for a couple of months!!!

Tania - Hope you day ended ok yesterday. Or was that today??? I am lost in the days lately! I hope your having a girl. I will be happy for you either way aswell but.

Shazz - YOU WILL BE FINE HUN!!!! My mum is doing her EN's at the moment. She is not very "schooly" minded at all as she only went to grade 10 back in 1983!! She has pulled through and managed to almost complete the course. Have you thought about a tutor?? Plus we are here!!! There are a few smarty pants in amongst out group! (You can come out and play now Nat!!! ). If you ever need a hand just give us a bell!

Hi to everyone else. Hope you are all well....

Ok so back to my mum. The Dr's did'nt know what was wrong with her and she was discharged this afternoon.

So thismorning i organised for the girls to be looked after, drove into town, drove my nan somewhere (mum was meant to take her there thismorning), then drove over to the hospital. (Keeping in mind that i live 20 mins from the nearest major CBD and 45 mins from the hosptial!) We got to the hospital and sat there with mum for a while. While i was there she asked me to call her work and TAFE to let them know she would'nt be coming in. I said i would do it when i got home.

Anyways, i picked the girls up and went home after a while. Then this afternoon mum calls to say she has been discharged and is home. She then asked me what her boss said! Oh $hit i forgot to ring!!!! Seriously, i totally forgot. It was 4pm by this stage. She did'nt have to work or go to tafe until tomorrow though.

So she starts going off her head at me about priorities and responsibilities and all this cr@p. Then says....i have to go and hangs up! I was left feeling like i was the bad person and feelling like i had done something wrong. I really did forget! I mean with the girls and all the rest you do forget things. I never got a thanks or anything for doing what i did for her thismorning or anything! I am really angry and hurt. Why don't ppl appreciate things anymore??

Anyways, had a big day i am buggered now. I have so much going on in my stupid little head! I needed to get that out of it! Sorry for the whinge girls!

On the upside, i brought a new computer through DELL online yesterday!! Cost me near $1700 all up though!!! It will be here in 7-10 days! I am soooo excited! Just in time for my broadband (which got postponed due to weather mind you! ).

Ok heading off to bed now girls! This post has gone on for to long!

Hope you are all well....

Night!

[Tannis]

I think I am coming down with something, I had another headache but also such a heavy chest and coughing etc....Nothing too bad at the moment.

Yay on the new Vac Sheree, I've always wanted a Dyson

Elissa: Hope the meds kick in soon, lucky you found Woofa.

Kim: Hope you're feeling better soon!

Shazz: The workload may look overwhelming now but you will be fine once you get in to it.

Sara: I'm a bit lost in the days too haha. That's awful what your mum said, its something my mum would do too....Just know you did what you could and you didn't mean to forget.

I got my hair cut last night at SIL's.....not sure if I like it yet. We had a very bad night last night, Jayden was hysterically crying at about 10.45pm I couldn't calm him down, so you could imagine Chris's reaction..GRRRR MALES! Jayden was holding his head so I assume he is getting what I got and gave him some Dymadon which calmed him down a bit as well as another bottle. All was quiet until about 3 or 3.30am and he started again so I gave him some more milk but as soon as he finished that he came up to my room, so I went back to his room with him and he started crying again.....I am getting in to a bad habit I know but I have to work today, my throat felt like razor blades and I wanted to sleep, but I sat up in the lounge and read him books for a while and he wanted yoghurt but would eat it when I got it for him (which was fine cause it did wonders for my throat haha) anyway I was up until 5am with him so I just slept in his bed as I had to get up at 5.35am anyway....although I reset the alarm for 6am..........Sorry that was longer that I thought, I feel like cr@p today now, I have to go to work as there are 2 people up from another branch that I am training....I might go when they leave at lunch if I still feel bad.

[~shazz~]

morning girls and bubbas
i've had a funny day so far walked bub to CC came home jumped on the scales wooooohooooooo i have hit my first goal to get to pre IVF weight wooohooo i'm very proud of myself

and to top it off i had to go see our local supermarket as i saw a guy walk out yesterday with a trolley load of groceries and it turns out he was charged this morning with theft and they gave me a $50 voucher for letting them know so another wooohooo ok i better go to work now

[shereejoy]

Sounds gr8 Vic. There was a special on ours where you paid $749 and we just have to send a coupon away for 3 extra attachments. A blind cleaner, an over the edge cleaner and deep stain cleaner attachment. Don't worry I am excited about ours too now, only wish lachlan wasn't so scared of Vaccum cleaners, I could go rank atm!

[shereejoy]

I take my hat off to you Shazz, studying is not easy, esp after so long, that is what I found.

Tania - what a bugger on the bad night, hope you get to go home at lunch and rest and hope you both get better soon. Your scan is coming up, how exciting.

Sara - same thing happened to Wade's Aunt, had all the pains but had so many tests and she was fine. Could have sworn she was getting close to a heart attack or stroke, but nope all good and that was a year ago now. I think it is like breast cancer even though you have pains in your boobs does not mean you have breast cancer IYKWIM.

[shereejoy]

What a gr8 morning you have had Shazz - whahoooo............

[widdly]

kim - yeah, i kep trying to convince myself that i wont suffer any side effects, although weight loss is a side effect i think i could live with LOL

sheree - yes they are anti depressants, its god to hear that they helped you and didn't give you too many side effects. I think thats what we payed for our Dyson as well, is yours an upright or a barrel? We have the barrel and love it

shazz - looking at the work is so daunting isn't it! There are always ttors that you can talk to though so you will be just fine. Fantastic weight loss and great news about the voucher!

sara - how did the girls go at Brent's aunty's? I am so not going to cope when cc starts in a week and a half I have to be strong though as he needs cc just a much as i do. Gggrrr at your selfish mum, some people!! how exciting about the new computer, bet you are hanging ut for broadband now

tania - i dont know how onearth you can function on so little sleep. i hope you and Jayden start feeling better soon, give all your germs to Chris, he deserves them atm hehe he, although then he'll probably whinge and whine all the time if he's anything like Jay!

i have had a great morning, went to the library and playground with Archie who behaved very well. Not sure what we'll d this arvo though, i am very bored.....

[Tannis]

I've come home for lunch but as usual I feel guilty if I don't go back and say I'm sick.

I just got off the phone to Chris, I burst into tears as soon as I got off the phone....He frustrates me so much! I told a guy at work that I think I'd be much better off without him....I am such a calm person until Chris is around, as soon as Jayden does something I'm the one getting in trouble over it. Last night it was my fault he was crying, I should have calmed him down quicker! I know I keep saying it but I don't know how much more I can take....I don't want to be with him anymore, he is obviously not going to change. Sorry for the vent, I'm probably sensitive from have no sleep and sorry no personals.

[widdly]

tania - just remember that we are all here for you to support you always, huge hugs

vic - Archie had a toy Tigger that went everywhere from birth til a couple of month ago, then all of the sudden he saw this toy dog and Tigger was out, him and the dog have been inseperable ever since! Talk about pigstys, i haven't actually gven this place a decent clean or vaccum for wel over a week, will ahve to do something about it saturday or i might go insane.

had a great day today, anxiety was nothing like it has been i have been able to stop the anxious thoughts as soon as i start thinking them, really weird, haven't been able to so that in so long, i just hope it keeps up. Bit worried about tonight though as Jay isn't home from work til 4am, im sure i'll be fine.

gggrrrr Archie wont go to sleep

[shereejoy]

It is gr8 you had a good day Elissa, one day at a time.

lachlan put on such a big turn 2nite, would not eat his dinner. So disappointing cause 2 nights in a row he has eaten what we were eating and I thought we were on a roll - NOT TO BE. He spotted his milk in the fridge and wanted it right nor wrong, we ignored his crying for 15mins, but he got so worked up that even when wade gave into him with the milk he didn't want it then as he was so worked up. He looses the plot sometimes and gets so worked up he doesn't even know what he was thumping head on the ground for. Geez....... He has done this twice of recent times, and some milder cases too, but similar - THE TERRIBLE TWO'S ARE UPON US I THINK!!!!!

Bought some newborn outfits for Riley when I was in Mackay last and got to wash them today. Ohhhh so nice, I love that smell.....

[widdly]

sheree - lachlans huge tantys sounds exactly like Archies huge tantys at times, they just lose all control and end up having no idea what the reason for the outburst was! And so many parents have told me the the threes are even worse.....it must be incredibly frustrating for you when he wont eat his dinner. oooo at the newborn outfits, there is nothing like the smell of your own newborn baby.

[shereejoy]

I need some advice.

My sisters just don't get me these days, nor do I get them. They both live in Brisbane and I am so on the outer. It doesn't worry me too much, but at times, like what I am about to explain - it really peaves me!!!

Anyway the sister I don't get along with the best, in the next one under me (Nik), but then Mel the youngest we normally get along well. It is Mel's birthday on 18th April and she is having a party on the 26th. I keep asking her if Kids are allowed and she said it was my call but it is at a pub. My sister Nik is having her baby (we were both pregnant together and I m/c) on roughtly the 14th April so by the time the party comes around she will have her nearly 4 year old and new born. I keep asking Mel if I was to come what happens with Lachlan and giving me absolutely no options and yet to this point she has nagged and nagged me to come. I normally stay with Nik, but there is no way I am staying with a newborn when I have more time to get sleep before Riley arrives. My aunt and uncle will be there too and Mel is quite close to them and I asked Mel - well what are they doing and she says she doesn't know and doesn't offer to find out. At this point i am annoyed that I want to organise myself now or I am not coming. It is hard to take Lachlan out with me these days (I end up chasing him the whole night) and I don't want to leave him with anyone either (not that that option has been given to me anyways). If I was to take lachlan I would want to go home early, but relying on their transport that is impossible hence another reason why I wouldn't be able to take lachlan either. I just know my sisters too well that this will all blow up in my face later and they will ask why I didn't come. I need to organise flights now not later and I need to know in advance what is happening. I texted Nik tonight and asked if She was taking Amber and Aiden and she answered back a straight no - then I said well ok, now you have said that I won't be coming and she answers "oh". WTF!!!!!! I thought she may of atleast said her partners mum was looking after the kids and lachlan could stay there but nothing!!!!!!!!!! So I am sick of this crap and put my foot down - I AM NOT GOING!!!!!!!!! Is that unreasonable. There is alot of history with my family but mainly have issues with Nik not Mel, but it just irks me how she nagged and nagged me to come and now nothing. The thing is I had planned to go onto Warrick from Bundaberg after a Wedding and then go onto Brissy for the party. Now I am going Bundaberg to Warrick and then home and boy if my sisters get wind of this they will be at my throat - I can just see it - esp seeing as Nik will be upset I came that far and didn't come to see her Newborn. Arrrggghhh I know what I want to do and that is not to go, but I am afraid they will make me look like the bad guy - yet again - when I am doing my dardnest to come now...........

SORRY FOR THE VENT - had to get it out - hope it makes sense I am very flustered and furious at present!

[Tannis]

Sheree: Either the gestation or the chesty thing I have developed! I haven't been sick in ages so hopefully it only lasts a couple of days. Chris doesn't realise things are so bad between us, he chooses not to listen when I tell him how I'm feeling and when I am trying to work things out. Hope Lachie snaps out of all this not eating thing soon! I haven't bought anything for the baby yet except a box of nappies....too hard when I don't know what it is. Is your sister's bday a special on like 30th or something? I wouldn't worry about going if its not, if they don't understand that's their problem....Its a long way to go.

Kim: Well done on your 3000th post, but looks like they have done a clean up and you get to do it all over again.

Shazz: Well done on your weight loss! Are you going to go through IVF? Well done on getting that guy caught! Did you buy yourself a lotto ticket??

Elissa: I can only function on so little sleep because I have to, no one else here will help out...despite what Chris said (Jayden hasn't slept a full night in 1.5yrs!) It isn't often that I get only a couple of hours sleep. Yay for the great morning!


Vic: Yay for the new vacuum! I'd love a quieter vacuum but there is nothing wrong with mine so no excuse to buy one yet.

I went shopping last night and bought Jayden his first (new) doona cover and sheet etc, just waiting for his car bed to get here so I can put it on, I am so excited! I spent up a bit last night, I seem to do that when I'm angry at Chris haha.

I got a full nights sleep last night thank goodness! So I am not as emotional today but Chris & and are barely talking still, suits me ATM. Scan isn't far away, I'm prepared that I will be going on my own as Chris doesn't want to take an hour off work...I won't push him, I'm beyond caring now. Sorry...TMI warning.........I went to bed with terrble stomach pains, I eventually went off to sleep but woke at 2.30am with the runs! Not sure why but is ok now. My niece and SIL both were vomiting the past couple of days so maybe I caught something from them?? As long as it stays away now haha.

Thank god its Friday!! We are going to the pub after work, drinks for the new service manager (lets hope he stays), no drinking for me obviously...but should be good anyway.

Have a great Friday!

[pinkfrog]

sheree - If your going to warwick then I would probably just stop by to say hello and see the new baby. If they ask why your not going to the party just say that you have no-one to care for lachie and you don't want to spend the night chasing him. If they don't offer a soloution then thats their problem. I'm over my family atm too.

tania - probably just caught a bug or something. Don't worry, DH and I aren't talking atm either. Must be something in the air. Apparently its a full moon.
