Hi Girls,

MD - I only like winter cause all the kids sleep in later.

Ok so I just got back from the doctors and Jordy has a middle ear infection... Xavier has a virus and mumma needs some sleep,....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHA!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIA!!!

wow! two bubs having their first birthday!! how special is that!! congrats to the mummies and daddies!

Well I am still around. have been slowly (and i really mean slowly!) getting better. i can now move my neck with some ease! yipee! so it looks as though i will avoid the chop! although a part of me was hoping that they would just rip the tonsils out once and for all, but oh well.

Rainy: L is just gorgeous and yes, those oobi pants are the best! i have seen boys bloomers for oobi in the shops...the bat design ones...he would look so cool in those LOL!

MD: wow! i know that it sounds really far off, but 5 weeks??! it will be a flash in the pan! it feels like only a few days ago that you said 8 weeks. that is soo funny about the shopping trolley! IKWYM about them crying when leaving care! L gets sooo excited when she arrives and doesnt even look back when we leave and say goodbye. i try not to feel too rejected!

Leanne: oh man! the poor kiddly-winks! and poor you! hope you get some serious nap time!

Rainy: oh jeez girl! i reckon the washing up is a pretty good effort! but go with those nesting vibes! LOL!

PP: Yep, L was doing the same a few weeks back. thinking it was party time at 5-5.30 in the morning. not happy jan. i just fed her in bed and cuddled until either she was ready to go back to bed or it was time to get up. PITA tho'.

Oz: oohhh i wish i could see someone to do a reading for me. i have been itching to get it done...oh well.

AFM: well our news of the day is: Leila.....took.....a STEP TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG!!!!

[Junglemum]

Happy birthday Asha! Hope you have a lovely day.

[Cally]

Leanne - your poor boys. Hope you get some sleep tonight!

MD - lol at Miss E pushing the walker around, I'm sure she'll forget that she needs it one day.

ETA Clare - yay for Miss L taking a step!! And so glad that you are starting to feel better, we were worried you'd been all chopped up yesterday!

[Isadora]

Happy 1st birthday to beautiful Asha & Tia!!!

Noni - Aw I shed a tear myself reading your post about crying during happy birthday. I have been wrapping pressies for tomorrow and I've also been bawling my eyes out today hahahaha. Good luck for Asha's party tomorrow, sounds like you've done a fantastic job. Also I second what MD said, you have had a few tough moments this year but you have done SO well and you deserve a big pat on the back.

Must say I was PMSL at all the cake stories, especially Kate stabbing the cake, Rainy hurling her cake over the balcony & Trillian losing her eyebrows BAHAHAHAHA!! Oh god I hope karma doesnt come back and bite me in the bum for laughing as I am making a number 1 cake tonight!

Andie - Happy belated birthday for Jack!

Falguni - Your farm sounds awesome. I hope all is going well with your pregnancy.

Rainy - Ahh no I hope the gastro has subsided. Its horrible not knowing if its just ms or a bug. I had the same once when I was pregnant and you just feel terrible.

MD - Sorry to hear you had a depressed few days there for a bit, but very glad to hear you are back on track. What a fantastic job you are doing with your girls, being on your own must be hard work. I'm glad its only 5 weeks to go YAY!!!!!!!! That will go fast.

Arte & Pregpan - I'm so excited for you two and wishing that you both fall pregnant very soon.

Clare - Wow you have been through the wars! Hope you are feeling much better? YAY for Leila taking a step!

Cally - How is work going? 500 odd emails that must have taken the whole day at least? I agree with pregpan, I miss M and often get the guilts while at work, but at the same time I think I need to work for myself, to keep myself sane. I think us mums will forever have something to feel guilty about now days anyway. Besides alot of mums these days work, for money & for a career, doesnt mean we dont put our children 1st.

Leemar - Hope you get your mumma sleep. Sorry to hear the boys arent well. Ear infections especially are terrible.

Katie - Hope the clairvoyant tells you everything you want to hear!

Just a quick update on M, its her bday tomorrow for a start. I've been emotional all day wahhh! She is also 'walking' around the house pushing her walker, or a pram, or even an empty nappy box. She follows me everywhere. Also she randomly stands up without needing to use furniture. I've also started her on cows milk with no problems at all.

Anyway hope you are all well, but I must go and pick up my ENGAGEMENT RING WOOOOO!

[Trillian]

Happy Birthday Asha!!! Great to hear you gave your mum an early start for your big day!

And Happy Birthday Tia!!! I hope you've had a great day sweetie!

Further on to the oven issues - the bloody thing caught fire last night! All I can say is thank god we had a fire extinguisher handy to put it out. I was home on my own with the kids too - DH was on the tractor over the back paddock. So yes, we are definately getting a new one!!! Scared the crappola out of me and I had a terrible sleep last night too. So you all have to go out and buy a fire extinguisher OK? The one we had only cost $30 and worth every last cent of it too.

Marydean, Lindsay was exactly like E is with the walking. He was 13mths when he walked unaided without his trolley. It was a block one and the front was weighed down by the blocks, so it was perfect for him.

Sorry for lack of personals everyone, but my love to you all. I'm on here to avoid cleaning the house again LOL.

[Artechim]

Happy Birthday Maddie

Trillian, so you are sticking with the story that the oven caught on fire and not your second attempt at a cake lol Seriously, that must have been really scary. Must be the week for it since Leannes dryer nearly went up in smoke too.

Clare, glad to hear you don't need the chop!

Leanne, hope everyone gets better soon. How is the new washer/dryer going?

Rainy, poor Lewis, hope he is feeling better today. Sounds like your dad is fantastic.

Pregpan, bummer you didn't get to meet up with Ella and Queenie.

Noni, hope that you are feeling better and all the party prep is going well.

Hayley, have a great day with your birthday girl! So funny how they do everything so differently, W was walking around for a full month before he figured out how to stand without furniture

MD, I am so glad you have a second wind. I could feel you slipping and was worried about you, hope that the next 5 weeks go quickly. It is great that H is having an easier time at school, lol at 'hang out'

Not sure what is going on but W seems to be having trouble getting to sleep. He isn't even being a monkey, just taking ages. Last night he took nearly an hour. I was about 5 minutes away from running out of Zen, he drinks from one side and likes to twirl, grab, pull the other nipple Grrr. Then he keeps waking up all night (nothing new there lol) but he goes straight to a grizzle and then needs boob to stay in his mouth so I can't get comfortable. I hope it is a tooth and that it comes up really soon.

I'm a few days behind here ..

I hear you ladies on the tanty's .. I threw one a few weeks ago & threw my robot vacuum cleaner & now I can't put a wheel back in

Haven't been up to much.
Jack had cake at day care on Thursday (pics on f/b in the events ablum), took Alex to dr yst as he had an ear infection then had to do food shop'n with crying kids (yay to me). 2mrw we are thinking bout going to the monthly markets up river.

Kate: hope everything goes to plan today.

[Cassius2]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADDIE!!!!!


Arte: oh bummer about the settling. but yeah it sounds suspiciously like a toofie trying to make an appearance...

Sherie: jeez girl! that sounds really really scary. i wouldnt have been able to sleep either!
good on you for having the fire extinguisher.

Andie: vacuuming would do it to the best of us ha ha ha!!!

[AnyDream]

Happy Birthday Maddie! And Happy Birthday Sarah! Have a lovely day and enjoy your pressies and your hard-won cakes!

Holy *****e Trill...how scary that would've been! We don't have an extinguisher but we do have a fire blanket (I figure it's prolly gonna be a cooking fire or a small appliance but I had rooly trooly never thought about the OVEN catching fire. Even tho my Dad's washing machine caught fire once...always make sure I don't put a wash on then leave the house after that)!

MM I think you are so right about us mums always having something to be guilty about, that's the way it is now. That's the price of the feminism, but the benefits of living a well-rounded empowered life also flow through to our children so it's a small thing when you consider the good things that we pass on to our kids, daughters especially.

Andie, oh rats about the horrible shopping trip, I've had a few of those with E. Not much choice when you're on your own! Hope you have a lovely day out at the markets (oh I do love a market)!

Arte, I hope the staying awake passes, that sounds very wearing. Would you or have you considered a dummy substitute (*ducks for cover*)...might help with your comfort levels? I LOL'd when I read that you felt me slipping, I had visions of myself clinging to the edge of an icy precipice. How perceptive you are my friend!

Clare so glad to hear your lymph nodes aren't putrefying after all (must've been my big shiny get healthy vibes that saved you )! And how Awesome that L took her first step! Exciting times

Have I mentioned my Baby's Got Rhythm? I nearly wet myself with excitement at the Op Shop the other day when I found an old C+C Music Factory CD ("EVERYBODY DANCE NOW") - anthem of my heyday pmsl. Anyway brought it home and both my girls have been grooving on down to the beats every day since. Missy E's got the beat alright LOL.

[Ozstar]

Happy Birthday Maddie!!!

Happy Birthday sarah!!

I hope you are both having a very special day!

I will be bakc on later for personals. I have been to the clirvoyant today!
