HEy rach! Congrats on the house and yes it was good to see a familiar face in the sea of Tupperchicks! I did manage to go home with a fair bit of stuff! I love all the new colours and stuff! What do you think??
Tracey - you should have had a nap while the house was quiet!
OK, i have to go, like rachael i am worn out from doing nothing all day!
Didnt get a nap in but got to sleep in today which was nice. Glad i did as Jamie had headache, took some tablets and slept for most of the afternoon so I had to entertain the kids on my own. Jordan was knackered after a late night/early morning and no sleep today and fell asleep eating his tea.
Liam is due for feed about 8ish so will have some quiet time to watch tele and then head off to bed I think.
My parents leave for europe tomorrow for 6 weeks, lucky them. Jamie is takng the boys to the airport to say goodbye to them. My parents are so going to miss the boys, the had good visits with jordan and liam last 2 days to make up for 6 weeks.
Hope you all had a nice weekend
Just thought I'd pop in to see how you all were. Been busy organising things here and working to keep my mind off the major surgery that I'm going in to have next monday morning. We are hoping after it's done and everything heals and settles down again things will start to get a lot better with my health, and that I stay out of hospital for a while then. lol. Anyhow, master Benjamin has today been graduated from the last toddler room to the Kindy room. Today was a day he's been in undies most of the day, and been dry. Still having issues getting him to do a number 2 on the toilet though...ho hum...one day it'll happen.
Melissa nice to hear from you and I hope all goes well with the surgery and that you also stay out of hosital for a long time. Thats great Benj has been dry in his undies. Dont stress about doing #2 I am sure he will get it. I dont know too many adults who still wear nappies to poo
We had a really nice weekend away...boys had a ball going on the 4 wheeler with Michael and patting the cows. It was sooo cold though and we decided against going up to buller as it would have been soo busy! Must try and get up to Donna Buang before there's no snow!
Started packing a bit of stuff today although I ended up with bad sciatic pain...I will have to do a bit each day I suppose though so it's not such a big job at the end...I don't mind it though...we haven't had to do it for 5 years!! I'm getting so excited about moving...I'm sure the time will go fast...I can't wait for you all to come over and see it! I'm excited as there's such a big group of us now I don't think you'd fit in this house now so will be nice ot have tons of room at the new one!
Tracey - OMG!! 11 pound! I think I'd die! Poor bugger...Ethan must be a popular name at the moment! LOL!
Glad your boys are going so well! Yeah at Liam for having a good night sleep!
Rachael - Congrats on the offer! woohoo! That didn't take too long then?? Umm...no, you don't pay stamp duty on sellng your house...I'm pretty sure thats it...(as far as I've come across anyway - LOL!)
LOL at being tired after your day at tupperware! We had the body shop conference a couple of weeks ago and I was buggered from that as well! LOL! (Didn't help that it took me forever to get home because of football traffic - grrr!)
Nikki - Yeah on selling the block - that sounds like a great idea adding on to your house!! Will be a lot less hassle than relocating again thats for sure!!! I'm so glad you guys have come up with a solution!
Yeah at organising the kids birthday! Sounds fantastic! If it's ok - it will probably be a couple of weeks before I transfer...Michael and I are starting this new budget...cross fingers it works cos we're both hopeless with money...
Cindy - Ooh I'm looking forward to seeing the new tupperware catalogue...although I probably can't afford anythign out of it - LOL! I was packing stuff away today and thinking I really must use more of my stuff...I'm just not in the habit and half of the fridge stuff ends up staying in the cupboard...so silly - I will endeavour to be more organised in my new house!! LOL!
Melissa - Oooh sending you lots of good luck for your operation next week! I'm sure it will all go well!
Yeah at Benjamin being in his undies!
Ok...must get to bed...I'm sooo tired...I've been falling asleep in 2 seconds flat lately and so struggle to get out of bed in the morning...It's hard though cos I hate going to bed super early as I enjoy the peace and quiet while the boys are asleep! LOL!
Chat later!
well today was interesting. Jamie is home as really sick and whilst he was at the doctors jordan was playing outside he opened the drain and threw his new car and spade down there.
We had to hire the carpet shampooer to vacuum them out.... now i am forced to clean the carpets tomorrow. Well they do need it.
SO its been eventful and I am knackered so off to bed early i think
Tracey - sorry but thats a bit funny! I wouldnt have ven thought of getting a vaccume! How are the carpets looking now though?
We are looking at getting the bedrooms recarpeted -I hate the stuff thats in them now.
I am at work today and having the day from hell, i have not had a cigarette all day and to top it off too, my friend just called me to say that her FIL has been transferred to paliative care and doesnt look like he will make it to the weekend - he was diagnosed with leukaemia in december.
Kristie- im not sure i will make it to tonights mums group dinner - will depend on what happens with heidis FIL.... I think i might use the fact that i was meant to be out tonight to my advantage anyway and go visit them and take tea to them... I hate funerals
Cindy the carpets look fantastic, i did them this morning and they came up a million bucks, apart from the areas i tried to spot cleaned and bleached the carpet. It is funny NOW but earlier....... Sorry to hear about your friends dad.
Well I am going back to work a week early, I will start monday. I got my dates wrong and am not getting paid anymore OOPS. If I dont go back next week because we are paid fortnightly I wont get for a month.... I so cant afford that. Its not too bad though, Jamie is excited to start his leave a week early.
Jordan had his hair cut tonight, he so needed it. He looks like such a spunk. He is now breastfeeding his mickey mouse HMMMMMMMMM He pulls his top up and say "mickey have boobies " LOL you cant help but laugh at him. He can also count to 10 OMG!!!!! He is getting really clever. I am so proud.
Liam is doing well, still getting up once for a feed but we are into steady 7am get up routine at the moment so heres hoping we stay in it now work is only 4 days away
Cant wait to see you all sunday, we will be there late as have 3rd bday in bacchus marsh in the morning but will get there at some point.
Take care

What time on Sunday Cindy? I couldnt find it anywhere!
Still trundling along here.
No news to report really.
The people who are buying our house rang the RE today and asked if they could come over and weed the backyard! haha. Apparently they are looking at doing family daycare so I guess they want to minimise the accreditation period as much as they can.
Im going out to ballarat on saturday night to see a band. It should be great, its with friends I used to hang out with every weekend going to gigs etc, and this band broke up a few years back and are having a 20th anniversary show so it will be nice
Tracey- i remember bleachin carpet before, such a pain.. Bugger about going back to work early, I'm glad you guys are going to make it sunday now!
Rach - that sounds like fun sat night! even betterthat your not preg yet so you can have a few drinks! No stress about time on sun, the linen party is starting about 11.30 but she is hanging around for a while so if your wanting to check it all out you should be able to, people are just arriving whenever though so nobody stress about time, just work around sleeps and stuff if you need to.
WEll, i got my transcript of records from RMIT in the post today and will send my application of to chisholm tomorrow, i kicked butt at RMIT so hopefully that will help me out.... fingers crossed
Tracey - Bugger at having to clean the carpets - LOL! Wow at heading back to work next week...I'm sure it will all go well!
LOL at Jordan bfing!
Cindy - bugger you couldn't make it last night! Was a great gasbag and a pretty good meal as well! The big news is that Elise is p/g! 14 weeks along so thats really exciting...not sure if you already new...I think I was the last to know! LOL!
Sorry to hear about your friends FIL...how awful...
Rachael - LOL at the people wanting to weed your backyard! hehehe. Hope you have a great night out on Sat! Sounds like it will be great catch up!
Not much from me...having a super lazy day - I'm still in my pj's! LOL! We had a huge day yesterday out shopping (my mum bought me a couple of new tops which was nice! Huge discounts at target at the moment) and then I had my midwife check up - bubs is going well and is still head down as I assume he'll stay now! Got out of a diabetes test cos I don't have any risk factors which was nice - I wasn't looking forward to drinking that crap again - LOL! Then dinner out last night...Michael and I have a dvd to watch tonight which will be nice so just chilling out...
Such a bugger I can't make it on Sunday - I'd much prefer to be going to a party than a wake thats for sure!
cindy we have to watch the nephews in there footy grandfinal i think it will finish at about 230 so we should be there at about 3.30 or 4 oclock,will we make it in time for tucker
CIndy I am so sorry we didnt make it, we are such pikers I know. Jordan was actually asking to go to bed whilst we were at the park and fell asleep on the way home. Liam was feral as he didnt sleep much at all during the day so we didnt want to disturb them anymore. I again apologise as we both really wanted to make it. We will have to arrange a get together on a weekend when we have nothing on.
So i am back to work tomorrow.. I have set alarm and got all expressing equipment ready. In a way I am looking forward to it and then in others i am not. We will see how the day goes.
take care everyone. Will fill you in some time tomorrow
tracey good luck with work tomorrow,how do you think jamie will go handling things is your mum or mil taking jordan at all

nikki
Cindy - thanks for having us today, Milo had a ball
Nikki we must have just missed you!
Tracey good luck at work tomorrow, I hope they let you ease back in to it.
Well i had a good weekend, the gig in Ballarat was awesome and it was great catching up with my GF. We used to hang out seeing bands 3-4 nights a week and when I was at uni i practically lived at her house (shes 9 years older than me and owned her own house - sooo much better than being at home witht he fam! ha ha)
Then today we went to Cindy's and Milo had so much fun 'with the big boys' Your brothers are something else Cindy, they're so good with the kids.
So guys I booked a linen party while i was there, and it will be in late september. I realised I'd be moving house ont he date I booked it for so am trying to move it so it will be Sunday 21st Sept. If anyone is interested I will let you know when the date is finalised.
fell asleep when I got home though! and Milo crashed at about 7:30.
