Happy Birthday to you Hayley for yesterday, sorry I missed it hun, but I knew it was coming up. Glad you had a great day.
Jaz, May the force be with you when you join the school fair committee I've been on our Preschool fundraising committee for 4 years and I am OVER it! I am at the point where I dread going to meetings. So I am retiring at the end of the year. I hear ya on putting everything climbable out of reach.
MD, how did the sleepover go last night? Were you kept awake all night to the sounds of muffled giggles? Isn't it amazing how far they can reach? Alister gets things I would never think he could reach till I see him making off with it as fast as he can go.
Man, I can hardly remember what everyone said now LOL.
Noni, how's the belly today? fingers crossed for you it's one and not the other
Oh, we don't have the snot trails here, but just really rank nappies still. I did think they were teething poos, but now I'm thinking it's a viral bug he's got as he had a viral-looking rash on his back and belly yesterday.
ooohhh jaz- your nights sleep sounds wonderful....i'm jealous. you're so crafty too!
my sunburn is not bad, just slighty pink on my shoulders- i never get burnt though, i am the sunsmart queen, i always wear sunscreen....it just wasn't that hot here yesterday iykwim? aaahhhh summer is coming
i'm so bored again today. dp is working again....i feel like i never see him atm.
MM - glad you had a wonderful day, a bottle of wine with DH and a $100 voucher from Dymocks - you hit the jackpot girl!
MM - actually I've read Mem's autobiography and she worked long and hard and juggled in the early days, she was living in a car at one point. I'm not defending her, I think she's just trying to point out that a lot of ppl today consider certain aspects of expenditure as 'necessities' when a generation ago ppl wouldn't dream of making those choices, kwim?
Raino - at sunburn. I guess that hole in the ozone is getting bigger and bigger. My hairdresser was telling me she got medivac'd to the burns unit in hospy after less than 3 hours out on the lake. She's been waterskiing for years so it was a bit of a shock. It was third degree burns and she collapsed (!) So slip slop slap everyone, that sun's getting nastier than it used to be.
Kate the girls night in with Tupperware, what a great idea! Noice raffle win too.
JaZaH I bought the BH&G maggie 10 days ago and haven't looked at it yet ! I'm starting to think towards Christmas too as it's going to be craaaaazy with the removals, etc. I've got an advent calendar quilt panel but not sure it it'll get sewn this year! GL with the fete committee, we're currently organising our stall for the Guides fete. I had the brilliant idea of doing a "confectionary" stall as the cake stall was already taken and it was a complete winner last year. We sneak a few craft items in there too .
DD is being a complete royal PAIN today since her sleepover friend left. She's about to get her MP3 player confiscated if she's not careful.
Trill, sleepover was a complete success and her friend is such a lovely thoughtful kind and genuine girl, I'm just soooo relieved. It's doing H a world of good to have a special buddy after all this time. I guess i started to doubt that there were any other families bringing up their daughters to be genuine people but it seems like eventually they find one another! No muffled giggling, we watched Muppets Wizard of Oz (hilarious by the way), well actually I fell asleep on the couch and they watched it. So it was sort of an early night for me!
I told E it was time for a sleep, and she toddled into her bedroom ready to hop into the cot (!!!) She's been utterly exhausted these last few days. I took her to the dr as she had a bit of a temp and has been horribly whiney and clinging but he couldn't find anything wrong with her either. So now I'm wondering if she's just been overtired for some reason. I wonder if she's been awake at night but I've been too tired to hear her?
Ohh gosh too much wine & I just had to go and get on my box didnt I hehe. Marydean I know exactly what you mean, people putting their plasmas and flasho cars before their children. I can definately see her point, and I've learnt alot about young babies being put into f/t daycare (so not right) at uni, it just made me get the guilts about M.
The weather is so horrible here today and we have to go & meet with a marriage celebrant, really cant be bothered...
Rainy - Yep, cupboards are pretty full. Still the odd cheap chinese take away type container that DH uses for his lunches (I don't trust him with my tupperware, it comes back three months later with mould growing ) A lot of my tupperware though is in my kit which I rotate around, so am constantly updating both my kit and subsequently my cupboards.
Jaz - yep, Rock N Serves. They are awesome for freezing and reheating. Just let me know... Also, am very jealous of your sleepin. S has been getting up around 5am consistently (if not earlier) and not going back down until her mid morning nap. You'd think after so long of her waking at that time that I would be used to it...but nope, still knocks me for six.
MD - So cute about E toddling off to bed. Poor thing, hope she gets back to normal soon
Sherie - Tell that viral intruder to get lost and not come back. poor A
OH boy Kate IKWYM! I have my "approved for DH use" cheap stuff in one cupboard and then all the 'good' tupperware in another as he completely ruined a container once by taking it to work and putting in the microwave. he also puts the rock n serve stuff in the pie warmer at work too! Q for you though, why is it that the US gets differnt tupperware than we do locally? I have brought some great stuff from Ebay form the US because it's not available here.
Marydean great to hear of the sleepover success. IKWYM about the attitude though, Lindsay is always like that after a sleepover at a particular friends house and it takes him a few days to have an 'attitude readjustment' ie me telling him he better cut it out or else LOL. But I hope it doesn't come to that with H.
H, don't worry about the daycare, I really don't think she *directs* it at those who have to work, because she knows that it's unavoidable to use it, but I think her ire is mainly directed at those that use it excessively when they don't need too kwim?
md- yeah you're right, i think the sun is definitely getting hotter. i need to get lewis a hat that ties on and has a really wide brim, any ideas? might try pumpkin patch....
kate- so true about not trusting dh with containers! i don't trust mine anything. he tried to steal my bellybelly mug to have his stupid noodle soup in i don't think so....
hayley- how did you go with celebrant? it's all so exciting...
I am so bored tonight. I have read all the posts and cant remember anything that was written.
Cally how nice having some time to yourself today. Its good to hear K is settling in at CC better.
Kate I love Tupperware too, I almost got into selling it but decided not to.
Arte I so hear you on needing a break. I love when DH just takes L outside with him for half hour and I can sit in peace and do what ever I want.
Rainy we got L a wide brimmed hat form the chemist. He also has a cap and one of those cap types with the flap at the back. He seems to love his cap. L is always smothered in sunscreen.
Gosh I really cant remember much else lol.
I got a tone of cleaning done today which means I can just veg out tomorrow. Maybe I will head out for some window shopping and leave L with DH to watch the motor racing.
Noni I hope your preggas, but if your not there is always next month. Its always fun practising
Trillian I love window shopping at this time of year too, I dont like actually shopping though. People can be so rude and greedy at Christmas time. I love hearing the carols playing though and seeing all the decorations and Santas in the shopping centres.
MD you wont be able to sleep tonight. You must be so excited about DH coming home. Guess you wont be on BB much as you will have loads of "catching up" to do woot woo. Lol.
My house is all clean now and it feels great. I am off to drop off some photos I took then do some window shopping.
Hayley, sorry I missed your special day yesteday - Happy Birthday!!! When you meet the celebrant make sure he can say your name correctly - the only thing that went wrong at our wedding was that the celebrant announced us Mr and Mrs G pronounced incorrectly. Grrrrr.
Noni, fingers crossed for you
MD, glad the sleepover went well and that H has a nice friend. ONLY TWO MORE SLEEPS TO GO!!!!!!! Could Miss E have some teeth on the way?
Well, I had a moderate melt down yesterday and DH took W out for an afternoon so I got a couple of hours to myself. I am having a bit of a hard time adjusting to only having one nap a day for free time. I am hoping that DH will make it a regular event. It isn't that I don't appreciate that I get to stay home with W but it is long days and no breaks. Apart from quick trips to the supermarket, DH has really only looked after W when I am there but he is well and truely old enough to go out with DH now. I feel a lot better just being able to do some of the things that I have been wanting to do for ages - I got out the sewing machine and took up the bottom of some pants I have had for about 5 months. Unfortunately now I have lost a few kilos and they are a bit baggy lol.
LOL Arte, sounds like we really do need to take that holiday together Alister goes with DH out and about the place quite a bit - going around the sheep etc. It might only be for half and hour or so, but if you hook in, you can really get a lot done in that time.
G, Alister has 10, nearly 11 teeth now - 6 up top inc 2 molars and 4 down the bottom, with the 11th (a molar) trying to come through. With the hats, I got one for Alister the other week just from a kids clothes shop and it has the draw string to keep it on and he can't get it off no matter how hard he tries, so he just gives up now. PP might have them, but it's hard to find them with a decent wide brim.
Rainy- We should have gone to a play centre today. I was looking for something to do. DH was working, AGAIN. He didn't get home till about 10pm last night. They are cutting silage/haylige and it always seems there is some kind of F-up and he's been getting home at all hours. Anyway, shouldn't whinge, some DH's are home for looooong stints at a time, aint that right MD. How many sleeps? 2?
I ended up in Lilydale as there was a market on, but it was crap! Good to get out, we hung out in the playground for a couple of hours.
Arte- i am really hearing you on the constant long days. Again shouldn't whinge, i don't know how you girls with more than one do it, or those with hubby's away. I just feel like i need a break occasionally. I had my first baby free day last weekend and it was lovely to have a little time to myself. I really feel it at times like this when DH leaves at 6 and comes home after 8pm.
Trillian- WOW on all the little man's teeth! No molars here yet, but she has been clingy and grumpy, maybe there are on the way.
I'm making a mango avocado and chicken salad for dinner tonight, another craving!
