arghhhh.... so over being a woman! finding it incredibly hard to love this body that has given me three beautiful children!

It is nice to have my house back - and fart when ever I feel like it lol. Aston cried when we dropped the girls off yesterday, and went looking for them this morning funny boy.

Nelly - gotta love those tanties! have you looked online for a Monkey? fingers crossed that this is the month for you.

Kim - you have a little houdini on your hands. I'm so glad aston hasn't figured out how to do that- yet!!

Blanche - have you tried picking emelia up and removing her away from you when she hits you? I have done that with Aston - picked him up and planted him somewhere away from where all the action is. and if he throws food or plates when in the highchair, i take everything off him and turn the chair away from us. for a minute at the most, then go and speak to him...telling him that its not ok to do "whatever"... then we have a cuddle. The concept of "I did this, and the consequence was being removed from where all the fun is" is starting to sink in I think. I guess its like mini time out. if that makes sense.

A book that I highly recommend is Boundaries for Kids, written by two pyschologists. Its a christian book - with biblical references through out, which if you find too much you can just skim over, because there is HEAPS of pratical, sound solutions that work!!! I wish I had read it earlier then I did...

Gigi - yay on the projector thing working, and getting some sleep... may it continue!!!

Jols - Sophie's mouth must be so sore. poor darling. bloody teething monster!! How are you doing hun?

Ann - how are you and Ella?

christy - are you lurking darling?

i'm blahhhhhhhhhh today... in pain and over being a woman. going to have to take some strong painkillers soon...which i hate doing when its just me and aston. i figure if I take them now...by the time he has a morning sleep I can lay down too... and hopefully get through the day. blahghghg....

Anyone for a spewing, tanty chucking, lets bash mum and baby sis up, back chatting 15 month old??

Yes my darling monkey is in full swing today. After walking into her room this morning and heaving, holding back my own spew i turn on the light to see vomit...EVERYWHERE....all over her sheets, blankets, dolly, carpet, change table and the cot rails. Then she gets up and chucks tantys cos i have to wash her fav dolly and she cant have it, so proceeds to bit and hit me, then i get angry so she takes it out on Jasmine, who then screams like she has never done before. then i *try* to talk with Chels....only for her to say 'Stop it' 'No' 'Go way' arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Kids...why do we have them?? My body is a blob of fat (but hey im on a diet now...first weigh in is Saturday and im packing my dacks about it).

Vicky i feel for you. It sucks being a chick some days hey!

Nelly i hope this is the month for you and there will be a 2nd bubba on the way. When we go to the shops we have a harness (like Astons) only its a dog....and Chelsea wont walk....she crawls with it....lots laugh, i dont . So i let her walk alone and try not to make a big deal if she starts running off vos it makes her worse...and thinks its a game!

Gigi on some sleep at last!!!!! Did you get my email in regards to the cups? I ask cos i have an awful feeling our support system is playing up, so can you please let me know if u did indeed get it or if Craig needs to check it out. As for moving, our family is all in NSW. The house we live in PIL own, but its in a family trust and should they pass away the house becomes ours. So in theory its our house and we pay the rent/mortgage repayments on it. Ive not heard a thing from Craig about moving back...so im stuck in Vic with no one i guess for a lot longer.

Blanche i used to put Chelsea in her room when she bit/hit etc.....but then she didnt care cos in her room she detroys everything. Unpacks her drawers. pulls all the wipes out....empties the cupboards and pulls clothes off the hangers i really do have a handful of a child!!

nelly, i can just see jake still as a board with you carrying him, they become slippery little things when they do that doen they!!!
lets hope you caught that eggy this month!!!!!!!

vicky, nasty AF pains? its amazing what we women go through and what do me get, mmmmmm nothing, zero, nada, sucks hey, grab some panadiene and a heat pack and head off to bed

gigi yay for the 5 hours sleep!!!! must have felt sooo good!!! its going to be 38 here today and 39 tomorrow, i feel sorry for you having so many days above 35!

kim spewy again , yuk! have you both got gastro????

i have finally realised that if sophie only sleeps for a hour a day its obviously all she needs!! ive been reading that at this age they need 13-14 hours in 24 and she gets most of that at night! last night was 13 hours, we play, have quiet time, snack bottle then bed, i do however leave her in bed for the 90 mins ragardless of how long she actually sleeps for, yesterday after 1 hour, i went to check her, thinking she was still asleep, wide awake but she just lied there for another 30 mins, so she;s learning!!!

[nelly]

Hmm have been cooking tea....chicken casserole with tomatoes, garlic, celery, carrot, broccoli, onion and dash of salt and pepper.....

Damn diet and rabbit food

[Olive]

nelly ooohhh perth hey!! sure blanche would love to meet you!!

[visitor1]

Nope dun have a slow cooker....into the oven it will go. Sounds nice, smells nice, hope it tastes nice too. Im on the TF diet...and you dont get alot of choice food wise...so have to be creative...something im not to good at in the kitchen!

Other night i made chicken burritos....without the burrito bit...but had to be replaced with....lettuce leafs

Chelsea enjoyed it, and she is the fussiest eater around!
