Nikki I am glad CHantelle woke up ok and I hope she doesnt feel to rotten. Poor little munchkin. I will try and bring Jordan over for a visit sometime before I start school when she is feeling better. OMG about your sister, thats awful I hope they find her and she is ok. Are you ok? Please call me if you need ANYTHING
CIndy I dont even have a book list so dont worry about having no books I guess they expect us to be able to buy them all in a week.....they are SO unorganised. I am getting really excited for enrolement, we are enrolling same day I think, 23rd Jan. I will call you when I am all enrolled HOW EXCITING
Rach DOnt worry about Milos sleeping, he will sort it out. I always seem to make issues worse with Jordan when I am around, he is just a mummies boy. YOu arent doing anything wrong, boys just know how to work their mums. Sometimes dad mean business and mums are push overs. You will cope fine with the 2 boys I am sure.
Krisite Hows thing in your neck of the woods? How are the boys.
Alex Hope all is going well with you and the kids. I see from facebook you have been cooking heaps, you need to share that love around
Well my bday is 13th feb so not too far away. WIll try and organise something for us all. DInner maybe??? or day thing with kids????? hmmmm so hard to decide. Does anyone need a night out on their own?
Tracey - you beat me to it in here!
I cant believe how last minute these 'instututions' are!! With your b'day, i presonally dont mind day/night, its all about you love and what you are in need of.
Wel i am sick AGAIN! I have tonsilitis and had blood taken today coz my dr thinks that I may actually have glandular fever which is just great! If I do then i wll have to quit my job, i work with people who are so compromise medically that it wouldnt be right for me to be around them especially with something like that. I have been feeling pretty crappy since before x-mas but assumed that it was my chronic fatigue coming back or the stress of things with my sister.
ANYWAY- for the first time in my life my mother is coming through for me big time and has offered to come and pick my girls up for the day so i can have a day in bed tomorrow!!!! YAY
if its on the friday night, or day on the weekend Im in.
14th is my wedding anniversary though, so that would not go down well with DH.
Yeah alex, you can come bake for me any time you like!
Oh Cindy thats not good to hear. Arent GF and CF related? When they thought I had GF, I was told tht if i did there was a % chance I would end up with chronic fatigue as well I hope its not that for you.
Oh yeah Trace..I love me cooking!!!! Next time I see you, I'll try to have some goodies stashed in my bag for ya!!!!
I would LOVE a night out babe!!! I say us gals go out for dinner somewhere to celebrate your birthday....sounds great!! You choose the place cause it is your special day!!!
And maybe we could meet up with the kiddies another day too????
Rach, I hope Milo does settle down for you and let you get him to sleep with less drama...I do hope it is just a stage..Has he been doing it for a long time or only recently??
Nikki, so glad Channy is ok and the op went good too..And HARRY, Happy 2nd birthday matey for Sunday!!! I can't believe he is 2 babe!!!! And I do hope your sis is ok and found asap!!
Cindy...my god you guys start school so soon!!! Very exciting hey!! And do they have 2nd hand books you can get so they are not so exxy?
Anyway, better get going cause I am craving a cuppa and it is not gonna make itself!!! And i am downloading some movies to watch cause there is never any thing on!!!!!!!!Bloody holiday tv!!!
Oh and puppy Zoe is going along very nicely and growing everyday...she is sooo cute and Lara is accepting her now!!
Chat sooooooooooooooooooon
P.S: Looks like I will have to have all you guys over soon and cook lots of goodies for yous...!!
Rach - the CF and GF are related and i have had GF in the past which resulted in the CF but it is rare for the GF to flare up again aparently and it isnt a good thing, usually hangs around a while 2nd time around!
Me Me Me,i would love a night out and it would be so nice to do it celebrating your birthday trace.
mmmm yes Alex,i will definently be available to eat your yummy cooking.hehehe
Cindy my girl friend had glandular twice,she ended up having to repeat yr 11 cos she was home for months,my ex had glandular as well and i was amazed at how nasty it is,he was a mess poor bugger.i hope the results come back good for you and they can treat what ever it is that is making you feel so crap.i have been thinking lately that you havn't been yourself but put it down to your sister and other stresses,do you have any news on how she is and what is happening. I'm not sure if i missed it or if it is too raw for you to share.
Chantelle was so brave in the hospital and very cooperative with the dr and nurses etc,she was an angle and didn't fuss at all.she absolutely refused any pain relief and at 10 pm last night she was in agony,poor little thing,it didn't matter how hard they tried she would not take any medicine so had to give it through IV.she slept better after that but woke often cos she was so dry in the throat.they finally let us go home tonight after she accepted tramal orally,she is asleep again now and is a bit sore and sorry.
harry really missed her and he was so happy to see her come home,they are like little twins,he just doesn't cope without her at all,they just adore each other,he kept smothering her with kisses and cuddles tonight until she couldn't take any more.LOL!
my BIL and SIL rang to see how she was and then told us they were going away today and that they were going to miss harry s birthday again,they know they are the only bluudy family we have.i was really disappointed for harry,any way i decided to still try and make his day special tomorrow and take him to the Melbourne zoo,he wouldn't remember it last year.i will take the pram so that chantelle can rest and sleep if she wants to anytime and the weather will be perfect for it,we will move around the zoo quickly so it doesn't have to be a long day and try to get through it by lunch time, it's just a shame that he wont have anyone to sing happy birthday and blow out the candles for except us,i bought a great big truck cake too.boohoo! anyone want to come?
My sister is still missing and we have grave concerns for her,we have had no news so holding our breath and praying at this stage but not a minute goes by when i am not searching the streets while driving or making phone calls etc.this is absolutely and completely out of character for her.we are baffled.
anyway enough chit chat.
nikki
Poor Happy Harry! I would love to come but as it is i am going to fish creek tomorrow to do a party even though i am sick! Al is taking the girls to Coopers B'day party tomorrow!
Glad to hear channy is home now.
Um with me yeah your right i havent been my self for a while now and untill the doctor mentioned it i hadnt even put it together that i might be sick although i have had cronic head aches and my body aches and sore throat for at least a month now. I even went and had my eyes checked and got new glasses coz of hte head aches so it will be interesting to see if it ends up being GF/CF - I had put it down to stress!
With my sister - I never really went in to it, christmas eve she went back to the doctors for the millionth time about her constant sinus problems and FINALLY her doctor took her seriously and listened to everything she was saying and sent her for a head MRI - she also mentioned to the dr that she could feel a hole in her head when she puts her hair up in a pony tail - her finger kind of falls into it and it weeps from time to time so he had a look and took a biopsy of it but told her it was definatley cancer, just needed to work out what type.
anyway so time goes by and we finally get the MRI results which show she has a massive tumor in her sinus (cancer) and some extra floating bone in there and loads of exra soft tissue and needs to go see and ENT - down the track finally get in with the ENT - he says she needs surgery and this will invole a full rebuild of her sinus and nose as one side is fully obstucted- he doesnt think the tumor is going to end up being cancer that will need further treatment other than being removed (good news) but thta he wont know for sure untill he gets in there of course - now she is put on a list and is waiting for the surgery......
Hole in the head - turns out it is skin cancer and it has eaten in to her skull (not good) and now they are waiting to get her in with a plastic surgeon for that to be operated on as she is going to lose a faily big chunk of scalp and skull! So again, on waiting lists!
So thats it in a nut shell and she is only 27 with a 7yo daughter and way to young to be dealing with this ****e! She should be right though, I just wish the surgery was over and done with already.
I was going to put my study off so i could be there for her but then i got thinking that if i put it off i may never end up doing it so I am going to try my absolute hardest to kick some asssss while i do it.
