    lol you will get in trouble for posts like that.
    I will be breif as its too painful to sit for long. I put my back out on Saturday morning. It got gradually worse as the day went on til I could barely move without being in excruciating pain.
    Thankfully I borrowd a TENS machine

    Re: Babies Born October-November 2005 #25

    Hope everyone is doing well.
    It's Oscars birthday today, I can't believe how fast a year has gone by!

    I've got 7 days left until my last day at work, starting the new o e straight away and I can't wait! It will be nice to not have to take a calculator to do the supermarket for a while.

    Both the boys are doing well, M is terrorising at kinder and we have his prep interview in a couple of weeks. Again I can't believe how fast this has come. I'm dreading trying to get him to wear a uniform, it's hard enough with clothes he likes

    I'm really sorry I haven't been able to come to any meetups of late. Things have been really strained at home financially and emotionally. But dh is working part time now and that together with my job will take the financial strain out so that I can work out whether the emotional side is ever going to change. •sigh•

    Oh rach! sorry to hear things have been so strained - So glad to hear neil has started working and you have found a better paying/ more enjoyable job!

    Now Did i see you were having a candle party? Can you please text me or email me the date so i dont miss it? I find fb really hard to keep tabs on at the moment, especially with the events stuff

    Well i am snowed down at school at the moment but nearly finished at the same time woo hoo!!!! It will be lovely to be able to tick that off my to-do list for a while!

    OK, i better go get char to bed- she is such a night owl at the moment ... i wonder where she gets that from??? I am actually going to the dr tomorrow about my sleeping... I have had enough of not enough sleep!

    well, i went to the drs and i now have sleeping tablets! I am only going to use them on my really bad nights although she has suggested i try taking them for 3nights in a row to try to get into a new sleep habbit!
    i also had bloods taken to have a look at everything and anything...

    tomorro the girls are staying at my sisters house and al and i are going out - no idea where or what to do but we are going out on a date! its been 18months since we had any time without kids. Not good! I am leaving it up to al to work out what we are doing so it will be interesting to see what he comes up with....

    Hi!!!!!

    Thought I'd bump this and say hello! How are all the kiddies going at school? Louis is loving it...the teacher had to go find him today though because he was playing with some friends and didn't hear the bell - lol!!! Found out this afternoon that he has a spot on the bus so luckily he'll start catching it on Monday - I was driving 90km a day to take him to school!!!
    Sorry I can't make it on Sunday...we've just had so much on lately that we just need a weekend at home to get on top of everything!!

    Anyway, just a short note to see if any of you feel like/have time for a chat!

    Speak soon...xoxoxoxooxoxoxoxox

    Hi! Lol at not hearing the bell. I did that once at school but I think
    I was in grade 3 or 4 hehe

    Our bus takes 20 minutes to get to school and so far he has mostly been fine. It's a 30km trip but there are no traffic lights and only 3 intersections the whole way there.

    The only thing I'd change is that they don't have allocated seats for primary school. Given it's a private bus and they're only allowed on it if theyre on the list etc I guess I thought they'd have set seats. It's been ok other than the second morning when he was still standing up and an older boy told him to sit down rather abruptly. I had the school call asking whether he was meant to be on the bus cos he told his teacher he wasn't catching it!

    Other than that it's been really good and he is loving going

    Hi!

    Just lost my post...grrr!

    We missed the bus this morning - they gave me the wrong time! He caught the bus on the way home though but I think he would have missed the stop if I hadn't stuck my head in! lol...
    He's doing well - already has a girlfriend apparently the cheeky little thing! He's trying so hard to be grown up but he's pretty tired and has had a couple of good meltdowns...

    On top of that he starts swimming next week...omg he's going to be tired!!

    Chat soon!

    We have swimming on a sat. morning. I'm not sure how he would go if it was on a weeknight.

    They have sport Monday and Wednesday so at least I'm keeping up withthe uniform washing and lunch making so far!

    He's having swimming at school! I think it's like 2 or 3 times a week for 2 weeks!! He's starting Tae kwon do tomorrow but luckily he'll have a few Wednesdays off...
    We made the bus this morning...So strange sending him off on a bus! Also nice not having to drive all the way into Mansfield though...

    I'm going to head down to the community centre this morning and try out the playgroup to give the other boys something to do! Dylan starts 3yo kinder on Fri so that will be great for him as well!

    Chat soon!

    Hi!

    School holidays are great! We've just been chilling out a bit! For I think the first time in his life Louis told me he was bored yesterday...I guess he's so used to the stimulation at school that just playing at home (and they were stuck inside because of the rain) that he didn't quite know what to do with himself.
    So nice to have him at home though...I've heard him a few times with the boys sounding so grown up!! Dylan is so happy to have him home as well - he's really felt it this term having away so much - they really are the best of friends.

    I'm enjoying the peace (and laziness) this week but next week will be a bit more busy with heading down to Melb, Dylans b'day and easter.

    How are you going Rach? What's news for you?

    Not much news at the moment.
    M has been really good with O since it's been school holidays, I think he misses being home with him.

    O is still obsessed with the bath, he climbed in with M, fully clothed (in pjs) on Monday night

    Trying to get DH to look for a job, otherwise I might be looking at moving.
