The cleaning thing was more to let out some frustration. (I'd been trying to mow for a few days but the mower wldn't start then the started raining). & it did help.
Got up to Jack once, I think that was before I fell asleep tho. Then Alex was up at some silly hour, & put him back with Thomas on. Not sure how long he stayed there but I remember him bringing me a muesli bar to open for him. Then at 6.30 when Jack woke up he was w8n for me to make Jack his bottle so he cld take it to him.
Ok now that The Wiggles staring is over I'm going to get some breakfast going here ....
Sherie: yep love the hot mumma AV and that ticker is so so awesome. jeallo bags over here! now my ladybeetle is just not cuttin' it! LOL!
i hope that little paige is feeling better today. poor thing.
send some of those mm biccies this way will ya?!!
MM: i forgot to say woot woo on finding the dress! WTG on getting it at a better price! i was the same: searched at the cheaper places, but in the end when you see the difference in quality there's very little recourse. cant wait for the photos!!!
how was the painted veil? i had also been told it was good...
Kate: LOL! i am pretty much the same too! i put it down to the fact that they have cooler clothing options than us, and who doesnt like toys?!!!
AFM: thanks girls for asking about my Oma. it seems that she had an infection that spread to her kidneys and now is in her blood. so she is pretty crook. they have to take blood every couple of hours so she is feeling quite drained (pardon the pun!!). but hopefully once the fever settles and the antibiotics kick in she can come home. ATM i think she is having a ball as she is drugged up on morphine and telling everyone how GREAT she feels LOL!!
Just wanted to pop on quickly and see how Andie's going. I feel like such a whinger in my current premenstrual state cos I know how hard it is Andie when you really are the only person there with the kids and no back up. It's psychologically as well as physically exhausting. Hun I have soooo been there myself, you are doing a wonderful job in your circumstances. You are not being selfish at all to stay where you are, you do what you need to for yourself. Having a strong, empowered mother is the best gift you can give your kids, so standing firm on your decision on where to live is a good thing. It might be worth networking around to find out if there's a teenager or another babysitter who could come and watch the kids for an hour, either for now or for the next time things crop up. I'm so glad to hear you are feeling a bit better, enjoy the rest of your day!
Also glad to hear Clare that your Nanna's in happy land on morphine, it really is wonderful stuff! Hope she has a good strong recovery soon.
Hi Sherie - I was so unsure about the trampoline but if you think it'll be good then I'll let the MIL go for it. I don't think she's gonna change her mind anyway.
I got so caught up doing things last night that I didn't go to bed until 12.30 then took another hour to fall asleep. Not good when Sarah wakes at 5am.
We had a good set in of rain this morning and now it's so muggy...might head to the beach again this arvo. She had a ball yesterday.
I've been here for quite a while but haven't popped in here for no real reason other than time restraint but that's all sorted now im on holidays from uni!
I've been reading the last few pages to catch up.
Just wanted to say hello to everyone & let you know I'm going to join in if that's ok
Thank you MD.
When I was in QLD for a week & a half in Oct it was too emotional for me & thats when I realised that even though I have friends there, it wasn't the place for me to be. Here, this may sound funny, but cause I have to do it all myself, in a sense, which makes me deal with my depression & probs & work thro them.
Kate: the trampoline isn't such a bad thing. the boys played on some whilst we were in qld & they loved it, even if Jack cldn't jump.
Hi Nella.
So far, doing okay today. Jack is down for his 2nd nap, hoping Alex will go for one but I'm not counting on it.
Have folded many loads of washing, & have put Alex's away. & Hung out washing. Am trying to keep busy but I've pulled muscles in my back so that when I bend over it siezes
off to put my dishes away from last nite ....
Hey Andie! Good to hear that at least Jack has given you some respite with having 2 sleeps so you only have Alex to worry about. You've had a productive day though, so you've got to be happy with that.
Hi Nella! Of course you can jump in! Your little one was born the day after my Alister. So how has everything been going for you? Is he into everyting like the rest of our little darlings seem to be LOL.
Kate, IKWYM - I was up till 2am and I was still getting up on and off to the kids. Did you go to the beach?
ETA - Clare, that's great to hear your Oma is feeling so great LOL. I hope the abs kick in soon and she is on the mend and able to go home soon.
Yes he sure is! He's favourite thing is the kitchen drawer. Everytime its opened he grabs something different out to play with his current fav are the tongs!
I love your ticker. Think I might have to get one!
