Hi!!

I didn't get the notification for a new thread! It's a much cooler morning today thankfully. I've got the doors open for some fresh air. We've got an aircon but the house just feels stuffy having all the doors closed for a couple of days.
We had a good weekend chilling out. I felt really bad yesterday as we sat out and let Louis play in his pool - t-shirt, hat and sunscreen on and only for about 30min and when we came in and took his t-shirt off he had little red arms! I've checked today and he's just got a little tan so he didn't burn as such - hopefully he'll have my skin because it takes heaps for me to get burnt! I felt like a bad mummy though as I thought he was really burnt. All ok though.
The little terror I can only assume is going through a growth spurt? or maybe having Daddy around for the weekend through him out. He's been eating non-stop - so much - and not wanting to go to sleep at night and getting up earlier - he also only had a reasonably short sleep yesterday.
He was up at 6.50am this morning (after going to bed after 8pm last night!) so he's been back in bed for an hour - he was so grizzly I just new he was overtired. I've got to finishe my shopping today as well so I wanted him to get a good sleep in before we go.
Had a rubbish phone call from my mum yesterday morning ranting and raving because we all decided not to do Kris Kringle for the adults this year - everyone was just chipping in for a big lunch and buying for the kids. So she's told everyone not that she wants Kris Kringle because she doesn't want to wake up on christmas day without a present (wtf?) I told her dh and I won't be in it because we don't need a gift voucher from someone that they were made to buy iykwim? but I will buy her a present so she doesn't miss out. She told me that I don't know the meaning of xmas and that I was materialisti - WTF????? I couldn't believe it - I said I thought the meaning of christmas was to get together with your family and enjoy each others company, have a good feed - and mainly it's santa for the kids etc. Anyway...after a big rant I told her I didn't need validation from my family or dh for that matter with a present for xmas...thats not what its about for me....So looks like I'm in for a pleasant xmas!! hehe. I'm going to get her a little gift that basically says chill the f out! hehehe. (sorry for the language) I got off the phone and I was so angry and I got all upset - poor dh didn't know what to do - I'm so over emotional with this p/g! Sorry for the rant guys....sometimes good to get it all out.....

Tracey - Hope you had fun at the xmas party!! Sounds like Jordan had a great time in his wading pool - If I had dogs I would have let them in as well! hehe.

Melissa - How clever is Ben getting promoted! Woohoo!

Nikki - Hope you had a great day at the beach!! It would have been so hot! It got to over 42 degrees in Melb yesterday!! Hope you didn't get burnt!

I'm looking forward to catching up with you guys tomorrow! My address is 4/373 Maroondah Hwy Croydon nth - just let me know if you want directions or something.

K - sorry again for the rant!
