Hellooooo people!
Well obviously we are all very busy at the moment and dealing with the heat best we can. Cant tell you how great it was to sit out the back this arvo feeling that cool breeze!
I am off to fish creek again tomorrow - we are all going this time and we are going to go have a picnic somewhere which will be lovely.
How is everyone??
Kristie- was good bumping in to you at fountain gate the other day! I made the most of a kid free hour and abandoned the idea of shopping and just went and had a coffee and did some people watching (my fav thing to do!)
OK, i am off to bed my pretttys- I hope you are all well!
-
Hi!
Cindy - Was good to see you too! We were sooo hot after shopping...was a silly things to do really but we did what we needed to do!
I'm very jealous of your kid free time...I'm really feeling the need to get some of that at the moment...Michael is giving me a chill out tomorrow morning which will be nice...may just have a snooze and a read and a catch up on some emails...
Have fun tomorrow!
I took the kids to my sisters today and they had a swim in the pool...Louis was very hesitant so I'm glad I've booked him back into swimming lessons starting next week. Will be interesting - I'm booking Ethan into creche there to take him and Dylan will just watch while I'm in the pool with him...hopefully I'll be able to start Dylan next term when Ethans a bit bigger...
Took the kids to see Madagascar 2 while we were at fountain gate. Louis and Dylan did really well and sat and watched the whole time and Ethan watched and then fell asleep for the rest of it so that was cruisy!
Tracey - Sounds like the boys are going well! Hope your study is going well!! Yeah at a night away at Apollo Bay - that is one of my most favourite spots...Michael proposed to me there on New Years Eve 2000! Always a special memory...
Rach - OMG No air con??? Hope you've been coping ok!! We've got ducted evap cooling so not the greatest in this extreme heat but I'm still super grateful!
Nikki - How great you got a weekend with Cory and he did so well! Yeah! How lucky you've had a pool in this weather! Hope you haven't got sunburnt!!
Ooh I'm excited - Louis starts 3yo kinder on Wed...just for an hour and I go with him so that will be fun. My SIL is coming over to watch the boys for me so I can enjoy it with him...I'm so excited for him but I'll miss him when he starts going on his own!! I haven't had time apart from him really...it's only 2 1/2 h though so it will fly. He's so ready for it!
We walked out yesterday morning and he'd spelt his name on the fridge with letters! So clever! He is just so grown up a lot of the time with the stuff he comes out with!
Anyway, best get back to sleep...Chat later!
-
Krisite Louis is just SO clever cant beleive he spells his name. I think he will thrive at Kinder, he will do great. Jordan starts on tuesday so I will let you know how we go. We stay the entire time on tuesday and then next week we start leaving him.
Well we all doing well. I am physcing myself up for school starting on wednesday OMG I cant wait.
Really looking forward to getting my mind active and learning new things.
We have a houseful for dinner tonight, Jamie invited his nanna, my parents and grandma, my brother SIL and my neice and 2 of his mates for a BBQ. HMMMM. I am meant to be cleaning the patio,..... Ill get to it soon though LOL
chat later
-
Hi!
Tracey - Have a nice bbq tonight! At least it's a bit cooler! So much to look forward to in the next week!
I'm having a nice relaxing day which is great!! So needed...
-
hi everyone,
Tracey it was great to see you and jamie the other night,im glad that you all made good use of the pool and jordy and Liam enjoyed there swim.
i lovvveee this hot weather but i have to say im starting to get over it a bit now,we also have ducted cooling which as you mentioned Kristie does little in this extreme heat.we are all so sweaty in here.
O MG Louis is so clever.chantelle can read her name,she knows it is her name when she sees it but it will be a long time before she can write it i would say but what do expect with 9 letters LOL!I know that Jordy and Louis will love kinder,just watch them both grow up before your eyes now.i actually cant believe that these kids will be going to school in 2 years,that will fly.
i have decided to resign from my work,i am giving notice on Tuesday,they r not going to be impressed but i need to go where the money is.i also only end up with about 40 dollars after creche fees are payed and unfortunately because my clinic is privately run they can pay me the base rate,$20 an hour just doesn't cut it any longer for me,i have been looking at jobs on seek and there are 13 there that i can apply for right now and i can earn double that depending on the shifts,if i do a few nights then i also don't have to fork out for so much creche fees.i will apply for all of them and if anything comes through i will be choosy and try for what ever suits our family needs the most.
GOOD LUCK TO BOTH OF YOU GIRLS STARTING UNI THIS WEEK,I REMEMBER IT BEING ONE of the most memorable and enjoyable time of my life.It is so nice making new friends and doing something so rewarding and important.I still stay in touch with a few girls from there.If at all you girls have any questions just ask and im sure i will be able to help.
Chantelle has been thriving this week,she has not needed any panadol and hasnt complained at all of pain.
The boys go back to school tomorrow,we went to the shops and stocked up on freash uniforms,jox,lunch boxes etc and pencil cases and all the things that go in them,i have washed both of there school bags and they have had a hair cut and tips,so they are all ready to go.
My brothers wife has gone into labour she is 16 days OD and so we are waiting for news of the little bundles arrival.it is there first.
My sister has reared her ugly head,she came home last weekend only to collet all of her stuff and tell her son who is 18 that she hates his guts and wish she never gave birth to him and then left,she even had the nerve to send them both tix to australian open and they were fake,she also told the police that her husband was a druggy so they raided his house only to find nothing,if i see her in the streets i am going to punch her in the head,dumb bich,ok its fine if she wants to kove on these things happen but leave them alone for god sakes.
have a good week all my pretties.

Hi!
Nikki - Wow about your sister...Sounds a bit dodgy...her poor son and husband...Wow at your brothers wife going 16 days over...especially in this heat!!
Louis only spelt it out on the fridge with letter - he didn't write it just yet...he's working on that- LOL!
Fair enough on the work front!! Gosh...I can't believe it only works out to that profit after paying childcare!!! Crazy!! Good luck finding a new job!!
Glad to hear Chantelles a lot better now!!
Ok...Ethans screaming...I wish he's start going to bed a bit earlier!! LOL! Chat later..
-
Wow at Louis spelling his name!
Milo can recognise his name, mine, neils and my mums, but he hasnt spelled them out. He knows letters seperately though.
Nikki, sounds like there are a few other opportunities for you so thats good. Im glad your sister isnt missing, but :( @ her behaviour, that sux.
Has your SIL had her baby yet?
Best of luck for Tracey and Cindy with starting your courses.
I had a tiring weekend, neil decided we were going to kennet river (ont he way to apollo bay) on saturday, without telling me, so I had to cancel 3 things that Id planned. Not happy Jan.
Then there was firends house being threatened byt he LaTrobe/Gippsland bushfires so was worried about that as well.
Sunday we went shopping to look at beds and milo went mental in the shop so we had to leave. we cant go shooping at all without him being strapped into a trolley ot a stroller, or we end up having to leave becuase hes so naughty. To the point where other kids were telling him off - he laughed and said "im a bad boy", and ran off. :(
Milo starts 3yo kinder on Thursday. I have a meeting there on tuesday morning- appreantly all parents have individual meetings when they start...Im not sure whether Milo is supposed to come or not though..
Naturopath appt tonight, my legs have been a lot less sore since wearing the pelvic brace, except for every Sunday when they are really, really painful. I have pilates on Saturdays which is what im putting it down to, cant be a coincidence. But physio doesnt want me to stop pilates.
Everything else is OK with pg, as far as I know, next appt is not for a fortnight, but my Calmbirth course is this weekend so looking forward to that.
-
Rachael - I can't believe how quickly your p/g has gone!! OMG!! Sorry to hear you've had sore legs.. what a bugger. Cheeky Milo in the shops!! I'm sure he'll settle down soon! Yeah at Milo starting 3yo kinder as well!! Our little babies are growing up!
Sorry to hear you had a stressful weekend...the course sounds interesting for this weekend though!!
-
Well. Liam is standing up..... OMG can you beleive that my child is doing something this early LOL (poor Jordan I always pick on his laziness but I love him) He started yesterday and has been standing in his cot and today Jamie said he pulled himself up on everything..... watch out I think he may be on the move sooner than I thought.
Jordan starts kinder tomorrow. We have interview day tomorrow so Jamie and I both go with him and stay the entire day then he starts on his own next tuesday.
Cant beleive i start school on wednesday I cant wait
Rach sorry to hear Milo being a little trying but they all do that at times, its the age I think. Cant beleive how quick your preg is going. It means Liam is closer to turning 1 STOP PLEASE he cant do that yet, although I bet you cant wait to meet your little one.
night all YEAH for the better weather too
-
Have fun tomorrow Tracey!
I'm feeling sooo frustrated!! Michaels out and Ethan is still up - grrr! I've been holding/rocking/burping/feeding him for the last nearly 3 hours...I'm going INSANE!!
I am more certain than ever that I'm not having any more babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
and he's asleep...hopefully...LOL!
-
Kristie- you poor thing! you know I'm not all the far from you......if you ever need an extra set of arms to rock a baby when michael is out i am more than happy to pop over and do so!!!
-
Thanks Cindy! I've told Michael he's not allowed to go out again until bubs settles down..I think he's going through a 12w spurt or something???
I just watched a devil wears prada on tv while I was with him so that was ok..thank god there's some better tv on at the moment - watched so you think you can dance and biggest loser as well...so yeah - a very productive night! LOL!
-
Krisite I hope Ethan settles for you its hard when they are unsettled and you are home alone.
Jordan had nice meet and greet with his kinder teacher. He loved the place. Cant wait till he starts properly next week
-
Well started school today and LOVED IT. we started with first aid and I really enjoyed learning something new and putting into practice. We went into lab and practiced on dummys. It was really good.
Cant wait for tomorrow. Oh and student free day next wednesday LOL. Thats the life
-
Yeah Tracey!! I'm glad you had a great day!! Glad Jordan enjoyed kinder as well!
Louis had a ball today! He looked so spunky (wore his new DC sneakers as well! LOL!) and was very excited and proud of himself for being a big kinder boy! We made yummy muffins to celebrate as well! Funnily enough I got interviewed but the teacher didn't bother to see the kids...seemed a bit strange to me. The assistant was really nice though - very warm and caring to the kids...
Ethan's still up..I'm not sure what to do to change his little body clock around...He's generally sleeping in until about 8.30am in the morning...I could probably wake him up but I enjoy getting the up to the boys and getting their brekky in peace! LOL!...oh well...can't last forever!
Hope you're all well! Chat later!
-
