Me first.

Ok this is what happened when i decided to resign.....Work took its toll when i decided to resign a few weeks ago. Sick of feeling like a bad employee as well as a bad mum, i decided focus on being a half decent mum. So i resigned. But after spending some time explaining to my CEO why I had decided to leave and being totally honest about the work issues i faced as a mum he convinced me that he would "fix it" he compromised on my hours and my role (along with some other incentives) so i'm giving it another go.

Nelly - Waroonga is up north. We're out west we can meet somewhere in between!

Darren's family is Campbelltown way - is that better? - will be there at least one day

[Gigi]

well i'm third!

my girl is this month's cover girl for the ozclothnappies yahoo group - woot!

that's our news.

been thinking ALOT about the thought of having another baby. will not happen, but it's constantly in my thoughts.

[tiggerandpooh]

morning ladies... will be back later. hope u are all good. kiss for those little people we have now. (not babies anymore are they )

[christy]

I know... all that toddling.

Gigi I keep meaning to look up bilby! Will do so today...

Jovie's spending more time on her feet than on her knees!!

[taralee]

wow m/s is absolutely killing me. i feel like death. i swear, this is definately the last bubba. i cant do it again.
evie was in bed at 550 last night, woke at 915, i just put her dummy in, then 330 - i gave her a drink she went back to sleep. then i spewed a few times, then she woke at 5 so i brought her into our bed and she woke at 6. so i was really really happy with that. 12 hours of sleep is absolutely unheard of no matter how much she wakes in between, and it was super easy to get her back to sleep...i barely had to do anything!
woot!
off to bed again for me...think of me, wont you...
lol

[Olive]

awww tara sorry you feel so bad, thats what scares me about getting pregnant again
well dont on the sleep evie!! you go girl!!!

[luua]

Is that Bilby with the Star on her bum?

Poor thing Tara. I hope the MS ends for you soon. Yuck. Couldnt stand it personally - I was in tears a lot when i was sick.

Well we didnt have our morning sleep today. She just played in her cot quietly and the next thing i know it was 10.30 and she was still chatting. So we went out with the mums and i tired her out (lots of Tummy time) and now she's fast asleep.

Hey girls I'm around, not in a super good head space atm, but I'm here.

I dunno... nothing to do with the girls, more to do with feeling judged with everything I do (and obviously hurting someone without even knowing what it is).

[nelly]

r u ok christy?

[*EmJa*]

im still here too, just havent felt like posting.

Hope everything is alright Christy.

Hope Evie keeps the good sleeps up and hope ur m/s eases

[tiggerandpooh]

have we all got the pre christmas blues??

[*EmJa*]

i think i do!! just trying to get everything organised and stressing we also got BIL wedding on 28th aswell so just another thing to add to the budget! i would much rather hide under a rock and come out next year!!

[*EmJa*]

im just finishing up my xmas cards so if anyone else one would like one from us just email blanche@westnet.com.au thanks

[christy]

oh girls its just life I think. And Vicky I think you hit it on the head, Christmas blues, life is busy & there is so much more I want to be able to do. I would love to do Christmas cards, but I just can't... I would love to even email to get a card, but life is crazy...

I'm tired, cranky & am not feeling fantastic... life...LOL

Bring on the new year!!

[taralee]

oh girls, i'm sorry to hear you're all so down
DH bought home these dried pea snack thingies from the health food shop and i cant stop eating because i dont feel sick anymore!!! woot! i'm going to the dr in the morning anyways on-accounta (does anyone remember angela anaconda?) i'm getting really bad headaches and the times when that m/s in unovercomeable (yes i made it up) so just want some answers about what to do then.
sounds like you all need to have a good stiff drink and a lie down...oh for the days of laying down whenever and wherever!
hope you're all feeling better soon...and may i recommend the dried peas

[christy]

LOL at the dried peas!! Were they the ones with wasabi on them? yum!

Thank you girls so much, you are making my day! I think I'm feeling down & ignored atm because all I am doing is looking after everyone elses needs & am missing things like having a shower on my own etc... I'm working tonight so that will help because my puppy classes love me.
