lol kim... that's so funny. I had to hold my BF hand today as we ventured into the barbie aisle... lol. her DH wants her to get their three year old a barbie "I dont want her to grow up to be a dress hating tomboy freak" lol
Argh horrible night sleep...we had cat fighting outside all night...glad they couldnt get to our cats, but they were like screaming..i thought it was our kids..so raced up to the bedrooms and they were asleep...so went outside and scared the damn cats away!
No FDC today cos of PH (grrrrrr...i had plans). So its a cr@ppy day and ill spend it cleaning.....no doubt miss C and J will *help*.....26 today woohoo....eeek....
Bit sad tonight...well, i dont know if sad..just down. both kids are sick and i'm in that perpetual cycle of feeling like i'm never going to sleep again! i get so cranky when they're sick - completely irrational like 'why do people go out when they're sick! its so rude!' yadda yadda yadda lol
saw a woman smoking in her car today with her kids in the back..how f**king rude...some people, i swear..that made me cranky too! lol
Christy - hope the move went well and ur settling in okay
big Tara, hope the kids are well soon and u can get some sleep.
V- hope your well.
Gigi,Nelly & Ann how are u all going????
sorry i have not been on much but got a few things going on latley, been to the doctor today and im starting on zoloft (antidepressant)tomorrow. i havent been coping very well latley with alot of things been a pretty up and down year for me and ive tried to be strong but its too hard with loosing my grandpa and nanna this year, my brother been a p**ck not seeing his own kids, having to have c/s when i didnt want one, not being able to b/f for aslong as i wanted, Jack getting sick at 8 weeks and been in hospital for a week, Leigh and i having troubles and to top it off Emelia been a typical toddler and me just getting so frustrated with her and loosing my temper way to easy with her, i knew i had to do something..i just havent been my happy self for a long time but hopefully things will change soon i really would have rathered not gone on AD but think its best for the time being.
i wanna thank you Kim for chatting to me as at that time Kim u were the only one that knew (besides Leigh) that i wasnt happy and i really didnt know what to do, so its nice to know ur there.
anyways sorry for the long post but just wanted u all to know whats been happening with me.
HUGE blanche. Well done for recognising that all was not well in your world - its so hard to "admit" that you are not coping with life - with the stigma of depression being so rife and societies expectations that we should be able to do EVERYTHING. I went on AD's for the first time after I had Nathan. He was about 7mths old. I had known in myself that I wasn't ok... I kept saying that "when this happens" or "when Nathan starts sleeping through" or "when this settles down" everything will be ok.... except nothing changed. It was when I completely lost it with Laura - screaming at her, nathan screaming in his cot, and me locking myself in the bathroom, sobbing on the floor, that I knew I had to do something. One day at time darlin...
Your very welcome Blanche....anytime...im always here *Hugs*
Today im grieving the loss of my dear Uncle...he pased away 5 years today and each year is never any easier.
Jasmine is in the middle of locking chelsea in the cupboard (well not locking but holding the doors shut), Chels is loving it...and Jas is laughing at her.
I have their check up on the 18th....its going to be interesting to see the size differences!!
*hugs* Kim and Blanche... Blanche i sent you a message on msn.
i think our kids being the age they are is very very challenging, and our roles as mothers and wives involve a lot of self-doubt, self-criticism and guilt, but that being said there are a lot of good times there too...it goes back to raising children being a community job, and a lot of the time mothers are all alone with their kids..waiting for outside adult interaction.
it is a hard job, but we must remember to look after ourselves or we're no good to anyone. easier said than done, i know
Thought I would randomly drop in to your thread.....hope thats ok??
I have a nearly 2 year old boy and was wanting to share info with other mums with kids around the same age...I also have a nearly 1 year old but he is an easy baby compared with master 2!!!!
hi nicola - of course its ok... What date is Zander's birthday?
This two year old business is challenging isn't it - fraught with boundary testing constantly - and moments of utter adorableness. Survival techinque I think! I have a nearly 13 year old dd (you think two is bad - wait til adolescence arrives!), 10 year ds and nearly 2 (on 29th of this month) ds.
i look after a little girl on Thursday who is a month younger then Aston, and god she reminds me of my dd at the same age - even now at fast approaching two.
hi all! had nuch scan today all is good bub s measuring 13w4d so it seems my original dates were correct - see V I DID keep a good record for one month! lol MS seems to have subsided and I am beginning to feel better -still feel blobby though. Just changed my ticker is about week further now!
got some great 3D pics too will post when I get a chance.
Hey just thought I'd put this out there - you know my "job" well we have our biggest week of the year coming up and was wondering if anyone (of course V already has volunteered) wants to earn some free stuff collecting some orders for me. I can courier to you at really good rates and I would pay postage. Please feel free to say no we are all friends and I wouldn't take offence.

Zander will be 2 on the 28th of November.....we are having some very trying times at the moment with his behaviour eg. tantrums/screaming/crying/not eating what he doesnt want to eat....things seem like they are going good and then we hit a hurdle
Anyway thanks tigger for the warm welcome....I am in a local thread where I live as I dont know many people but heaps of new people have joined the thread and older people faded away and there doesnt really seem to be much going on in there......so here I am
My apologises Nicola i missed your post...WELCOME!
