sherie- i'm feeling a lot better today. thanks for checking on me
i've been struggling a bit with dp's work hours and just feeling like i do everything concerned with lewis. i know it must be much much much harder for you guys with multiple children, but sometimes i just wish dp would take some initiative with lewis iykwim?
like, if i'm in the bathroom getting changed ready for us to go out and he's holding lewis and lewis has got food all down his top, dp will just sit on ebay instead of taking the initiative to go and change lewis and get him ready for me. i always have to do everything.
katie- glad you had a good time with your sis
arte- could you make up a lie and say that it's dh's bday on the 7th so you got them mixed up. i've written the wrong birthday for lewis before cos his is the 7/10 and mine is 7/11.
can't remember anything from the other thread
sorry girls
noni- hope you're enjoying the new house
i'm thinking of joining ww this week or next week. you did so well on it. do you still go?
OMG I am up to my eyeballs in poo this morning. Xavier has done 3, Jordy has done 2 and Olivia 1... WTF one minute we have a pooing problem then next it wont stop... OH well....lol gotta just laugh I suppose.
Sleep over went well they were all asleep by 9pm. Well girls is am now looking for and evening dress to buy as I have to hoytie toytie dinners to go to with DH for his work. OMG first one is on the 12th July so I am running out of time to get one. Went to Myers yesterday and they wanted $319 for a dress... I really dont want to have to spend that much money and now looks like I have to go into the city to get something. Just wondering if you girls would think it to be ok to wear black pants to a black tie dinner or should I get a dress.
Hayley- I am so glad that Maddie is better.
Gracie- I hope you are feeling better.
Katie- I am glad you had a great weekend with your sister.
Well I better go the boys are suppose to be having there rest but I can hear them jumping on their beds...
Gracie, I sooo hear you on DHs not being self-directed with the baby care. My DH is now very good but I think I nearly went insane in the first couple of years of DD1s life, repeating "Show some initiative!!!" The best cure for this is to create some time (an hour here or there) where you leave bub with DH and then leave the house altogether (having issued only minimal instructions ). Then talk about what has happened/been done while you were out, afterwards. Bit hard when your DH is working such long hours, but even just a little bit here and there might help!
Arte, I was ROFL about the wrong birthday! That's just hilarious. I hear some pretty sensational people were born on the 7th of September . My hard dates to remember is what year to write for DH and DD on the forms, same date I just have to remember to write the right year!
Leanne, LOL glad the drought has well and truly broken! Go you merry team of pooers! I really don't know about the whole black tie thing, that's a bit out of my sphere of experience I"m afraid. I saw some photos of Penny Wong (Govt spokesperson) at the Press Gallery Ball at Parliament House in the Sunday paper and she looked like she was wearing a japanese silk jacket thing (it looked like something you could wear pants with) so I guess if she can, you can!
I'm a complete disorganised clutz this morning. Just had a phone call from the osteopath saying "Are you late?" OMG I happily dropped E off at FDC this morning and forgot completely!!! AAAAARGH! Better go an organise myself I think.
K is a bit better today I think. Not much coughing. Did have a very early start to the day - woke at 5:20 and no matter what I tried she did not want to go back to sleep. At least she had a 2.25 hour nap so ended up back on track for the day. Stupid me didn't go back to bed though!
Gracie - can you just tell DH what to do, in a nice way ie 'I'll go and get the nappy bag and put the pram in the car, can you change his top'. Then after that for a little while he might start thinking for himself. Maybe - he is a man though!
lewis isn't feeling well, he's got a fever and he's all down and out. he doesn't want to eat and he's all whingey. poor little man
glad it's not just my man that has lack of initiative,
cally- i do do what you say but i get so sick of having to spell everything out for him. i get sick of the sound of my own voice, i feel like such a school teacher. i wish he could just think for himself iykwim?
md- i've only ever left the 2 of them alone once and i'm not game to do so again. i came back and they were both asleep on the couch together, all the lights in the house on, tv blaring, both wearing the same clothes they'd worn all day. nightmare.
did you end up going to your appointment?
leanne- great work on all the poo! when it rains, it pours
renee- enjoy your holiday. hopefully your ILs won't tag along like poor hayley.
just thought i'd let you know, i ended up buying the dermadoctor eye cream (pregpan you might be interested in this too- cosmetics junkie!) and it is fantastic. i can see a difference already. very exxy though
hi all
i am here - have just been busy busy busy so naughtily reading and not posting... but now i need to ask about the eye cream!!! ha ha!! how muich and what difference can you see? i have to say i havent been such a junkie l;ately - but may just need to treat myself soon LOL!
oh i hacve had a hectic few days - dont know where to start. i am having foot probs, v painful - turns out i have a heel spur and also my foot is 'sollapsing' ouchy! so this leads to all the back/neck pain i have had as well as the acute foot pain. anyway am getting it dealt with so in a few weeks should see an improvement. also you have prob seen my other post about the monitor - had a scary few days when N's breathing monitor kept going off - awful awful - anyway took him to dr and noithing wrongw ith his lungs or anything - so they think just false alarms... hmmm... lots of sleepless nights!
Sorry no time for more personals - busy at work and travelling to melbs tomorrow so better get back to it. will try to write more later in the week.
Gracie - i hope L improves soon, so awful when they are unwell.
Hayley - how is Maddie - have been thinking of you.
hi to everyone else.
xxx
ps i was also really affected by the twins in brisbane story - esp when i heard she was a BB member
ha- i knew you wouldn't be able to resist that one pregpan
it's called dermadoctor wrinkle revenge and it cost $145. very exxy but so good! the whole area around my eyes looks heaps smoother. i was looking pretty haggard after 8 months of no sleep but it's evened out the colour and tone.
i'll let you know if there's any improvement in a month or so- that's the real test.
your foot sounds very ouchie, hope it gets sorted soon.
melb is freeeezing atm, pack your winter woolies
). Then talk about what has happened/been done while you were out, afterwards. Bit hard when your DH is working such long hours, but even just a little bit here and there might help!
