I know that feeling leanne, I was so tired today and had to do all this paper work for our excursion- soon no school will ever go on excursions I reckon!! We have to fill out risk assessments for every part of the trip ANd for the bus AND for children who are asthmatics or have allergies or medical conditions. It took me over an hour whilst trying to teach and that wasn't even including the booking etc of all the venues and wriitng the permission note! Anyway the kids are really excited and it should be a great day sorry to whinge.
-
sheree - well if I had no bed then I wouldn't even go. bugger them. where do they expect you to stay???
christine - now I know why the kids don't do any excursions LOL. Hayley's going well in grade 2 but now I have dylan in prep and he's the naughty kid in the class. I'm now the mum that gets complaints from every other mum LOL. I'll never complain about a naughty kid again.
kim - I'm giving my IL's back again. The nice streak didn't last too long LOL. Never does.
elissa - glad the meds seem to be working for you.

Goodbye....
This is my farewell post. I just want to say goodbye to all the lovely women (and few guys) that I have met on this forum.
It's time for me to take a serious look at my life. And hope that everyone looks at their life in the same way.
I have a wonderful husband and two adorable children. And I spend far too much time online. Particularly on BellyBelly. I dread to think of the hours that I have wasted that would have been better spent with my beautiful family.
I want to be a mother that spends time with her kids; playing playdough and painting, and not regretting things later on in life when it?s too late. I don?t want to look back and say "gosh, I shouldn't have spent so much time on BellyBelly, my kids have grown up..." I want to nurture the relationship that I have with my wonderful husband. I would rather spend an hour with him and my kids, then spend it online. I would rather spend time painting with my children, then find out that they have painted the carpet whilst I've been "too busy" online. Even if I spent an hour on myself (exercising, reading, relaxing, would make me a better person).
And if I do need "time out" to spend on a forum, I don't want to be one of 10,000+ participants. I want to go to a small, friendly forum. Reminds me of the "Cheers" theme song (for those that are old enough to remember Cheers...)
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to be where you can see,
Our troubles are all the same;
You want to be where everybody knows your name.
So to all those that see this post?.
Farewell... Adios... Au revoir... Shalom... Bye...
For those TTC, I send my best wishes that you are blessed with babies. For those that have children; spend time with them.
Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day.
Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course!
Each of us has such a bank. It's name is TIME.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
Every night it writes off as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to a good purpose.
It carries over no balance. It allows no over draft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day.
If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no drawing against "tomorrow."
You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success!
The clock is running!! Make the most of today.
To realise the value of one year, ask a student who failed a grade.
To realise the value of one month, ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.
To realise the value of one week, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realise the value of one hour, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realise the value of one minute, ask a person who just missed a train.
To realise the value of one second, ask someone who just avoided an accident.
To realise the value of one millisecond, ask the person who won a silver medal at the olympics.
Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with. And remember time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why its called the present.
Don't waste another hour, minute, second!!

Arrived safely back to Bundy about an hour ago and am so exhausted!! It was a long drive but a good one....will pop in tomorrow when I am more awake!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Jodie!!!! Its so sad to see you go, but I can understand why.....Good luck with your family, I hope you can pop in on occasion to say hello oxoxox
-
i lost my post yesterday so i shall try again....
kim - made me giggle to think of you nearly spitting your coke at the screen:lol: Yes i will get past these yukky side effects i the next couple of weeks, seem to be over the runs for now which is NICE. Woohoo on the libido, can you send some my way, Jay is a bit neglected atm:doh:
jodie - goodbye! we will miss you, but im sure your beautiful family will enjoy the extra time spent with them.
tania - glad your drive was ok
Just had a session with the counsellor, had to take Archie with me, it was funny, we were in a big room and he had toys strewn all over the floor, then he wonders over the other side of the room and switches the lights off, it was pitch black. Of course he gets scared and starts bawling, and here is me and the counsellor trying to get to him without tripping over toys or furniture:cryinglaugh:
-
Jodie - mwah, will talk to you soon
Kim - lucky you on the libido, Wade always misses out when I am pregnant due to all my pregnancies dramas, he is such a patient man, but I help him out too ;)
Tania - glad you got back safe and sound, hope you and Chris are on better terms
Elissa - hehe at Archie, that would be something Lachlan would do.
Well I have decided to go to Brissy to visit my sisters, either side of my sisters 30th Birthday, not sure when yet, just trying to work it out. I gather it is better for me to do this now then to try to go away with 2 x kids on my own. And then atleast I get to see the newborn (not that, that excites me too much - more to do with the history Nik and I share then anything). Atleast I am not being spiteful and be myself the kind and generous person that I always am. I am not stooping myself to my sisters level. I gather I will be him a whole heap of poo if I go to Warrick and don't venture over to Brisbane. Always the pleaser!!!!!!!!!
-
sheree - good on you, im glad you have come to a decision that you feel comfortable with, sounds like a good compromise too.
had a friend and her 16 month old over for a play this arvo, for the first time ever Archie got possesive of his toys (only a couple of his fav ones) and in the end he really got into an angry jealous mood and kept pushing his little friend over, the little boy wasn't woried, but still. I took Arch up to his room and told him that pushing isnot okay cause it hurts people and told him to stay on his bed. he came out a minute later in a better mood, looks like my innocent baby is fast disappearing!
-
Jodie, while I understand, that makes me a bit sad. ENjoy every second hun.
Well fat lot of good the libido did me...I've got a RAGING case of cystitis that has moved up to my kidneys. :wall: I'm in sooo much pain I can hardly walk. I was trying not to need Abs due to the whole TTC thing, but I can't do it. Don't want to be headed towards a kidney transplant.
I'm hoping for some miraculous cure after this first dose of Abs because I'm going to scratch someones eyes out soon lol. Haven't been to sleep for 2 nights becasue I can't lay down either....this is ridiculous!:doh:
-
kim - OMG that sounds bloody painful! Hope the abs kick in quickly
payday again, just trying to magically stretch the money as far as possible, gotta love being on 1 wage:rolleyes:
Sounds like Archie has no intent on going to sleep today, woohoo, gonna have a VERY whingy sooky angry child this arvo, lucky he is so adorable
-
Ta chick, it is.
I was ready a foodie mag this week and it a week's worth of meals for $10. I should scan it and send to you cos I thought of you. Don't know how accurate it is, but I'm going to make one of them tomorrow.
-
Elissa: OMG @ your councilling session.....Would have been funny to be there though, was it a production session in the end?
Sheree: So far so good with Chris, I reminded him about the scan last night and he said I didn't tell him (I know I did because he said he doesn't have to tell his work until closer to the day). I told him it was completely up to him if he wanted to go and I wasn't going to force him....this morning he asked what time and where, so I'm guessing he is meeting me there. I hope he does, I will be so dissapointed in him if he doesn't.
Kim: Oh you poor thing! Hope you are feeling better soon....Least Cam's back for good there is always next month, can you take nurafen or anything as well?
Jayden's car bed arrived yesterday so my niece & I picked it up and started to assemble it, its not quite done but I should be able to get it up by tonight.
We went out last night for SIL's bday and Jayden fell asleep on the way (he had only 1/2 hour nap during the day) with no bottle or dummy. He woke up a couple of hrs later and he was vomiting over my SIL's bed with her daughter asleep on it as well! He was ok for the rest of the night so not sure what it was, he has my cough though and a runny nose but I don't think its related.
Sunny Coast & Brisbane were great! We stopped on the way down at Gympie airport (if you'd call it that) to pick Chris up, Jayden loved the planes and loved watching his daddy land and taxiing the plane right up to us. The resort we stayed at was gorgeous...I didn't want to leave! We have even considered selling the new baby for the lagoon pool haha. Saturday night just after I went to bed a got up and was vomiting, its been going around but I think it was the spicy dinner that I ate (I can't eat spicy food but didn't know it was spicy) then I had 1/2 a glass of pink champagne then Chris & I had a twirl bar when we went to bed then within 10mins I was up....I'm thinking the combination wasn't good haha.
Meeting up with my friend from Melb & the other from Bris was great, I have missed them so much! THe one from Melb her dd who is 3 told her that Jayden is going to be one of her husbands....we were like, how many are you going to have?? SO so cute though!
I decided at the last minute to come home on Monday night instead of Tues but I didn't leave until 5.20pm so you could imagine the traffic. We still made good time though, it took just over 5hrs and we stopped in Gympie for over 1/2 an hour. I struggled once I got to Maryborough to keep my eyes open and by Childers I was ready to get a motel (even though its only 40mins from home). I made it and Jayden slept the whole time except when we stopped at 7.50pm for dinner in Gympie until about 9pm.
Sorry for the long post all about us!
-
Gosh Kim that sux, I am so prone to those and yep you have to be so careful with sex. I have learnt over the years. Hope you feel better soon.
I know I said this before Tania, but gl at your scan. Hope you find out, cause I want to know, even if you don't!!!! hehe selfish huh
-
Oooh that's right Tania enloy your scan!!! I hope Chris shows up for you.

-
kim - let me know how the meal goes. i bought one of those mags last montha nd they had a special on a weeks meals for $50, i made 3 of them and tey were all extremely bland and just not good, so i actually haven't attempted to cook anything for tea since besides the old stir fry and meat and veg.
tania - yeah it was a productive session thanks. So slad that you enjoyed your trip so much, sounds blissful (apart from the vomitting). I bet jayden will be super ecited about his new car bed! gl with the scan:dance:
shazz - hi, hows the study going? (or would you rather i didn't mention it???)
Had a good day today, i actually managed to go to the supermarket and it was even rush hour, i didn't panick:clap: Arch didnt have a sleep today, but fell asleep on the floor in his room next to his radio, so he had a cat nap. He is jsut so extremely emotional and passionate about things all of the sudden, i think the lack of sleep doesn't help though.

Morning girls!
Sorry i've been MIA lately. I have been really busy.
I got a last min client who was due yesterday so i have been busy trying to get things in with her before the birth. She is only 17 so that makes things that bit harder.
Uni books also arrived on friday. New computer yesterday and i am STILL WAITING on my broadband!!!
Girls are good. Colby is almost crawling. She is doing the kinda monkey crawl thingy (palm flat and bum in the air). She is also saying "bub-bub" and "dad-dad". I have been trying to drill "mum" into her but nope she wont say it!!
Briley is good. Being a major rat bag!! Won't keep her nappy or training pants on and keeps pooing everywhere. She managed to do a bit in the potty the other day but everywhere else also. She did a poo which had blood in it lastnight but she seems fine so i think she might have just busted some veins in her bum from the dirohhea. Other than that she is fine!
Kim - Bummer about the infection hun! Those things always happen at the wrong time!! Hope your libido decides to stick around!! ;)
Tania - Glad to holiday went well! Good luck at your scan hun! Are we finding out the sex??? Hope Jayden is feeling better.
Elissa - Sorry to hear the meds are making you feel shi**y. I guess you will adjust to them soon.
Shazz - LOL @ you and your smilies!!!
Jodie - Sorry to see you go hun. Pop in here and there and let us know how you are all going. No doubt i will talk to you on MSN soon enough anyways! Love to you and you beautiful family!
Hi Vic, Christine and Leanne!
Sorry for the short personals. Once i get my bb i will be on more often. And my new computer which i am totally excited about!! :lol:
Hope you are all well....
Talk soon!
Take Care!
-
Gosh trying to crawl already Sara, Colby is growing up wayyyyy too quick.
Elissa - passionate about things - I hear you there! Lachlan won't go anywhere without his seseame street plush toys and he chucks such tanty's about them. I just went to take Elmo to wash him and his eyes watched and then came running after me for him. So needless to say I did not get to wash him yet again!
I had a headache yesterday and felt like utter crap all day long and of all days my little monkey decides to kick the hell out of me. I usually would not complain, I love the movement, but I don't feel there is any one section he hasn't kicked yesterday and I just wasn't up to it. Never felt like that b4 even with Lachlan. Must have been doing somersalts in there.
Feeling much better today though.
-
Kim ~ Hope you feel better soon hun
Tania ~ Hope your scan went well
Jodie - so sad to see you go, will miss you. Would love to keep in contact...
Hello to Christine, Shazz, Vic, Sara, Lorelle and everyone else.
Tomorrow is Friday - thank goodness for that..... :dance:
