Morning Lovely Ladies .. it's been awhile, I haven't forgotten you, just a bit pre occupied.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Xmas Pres ... boys are getting 6v batt operated bikes from mummy.

Moving ... haha, I never want to let someone else move me again! Without me standing their directing though. When I arrived here (a day after the ex & the truck) I almost died in shock. Everything was just dumped & I could barely get into the house. TBH, I'm still not organised & that was Jan.

Old Xmas Tree's: ... haha, the one my mum had, did her 20 years & then we palmed it off to my then MIL.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Arte: Alex has been in a single bed for sometime now. Think Jack misses having the company though as I put Alex into his own room at the same time.

Preagainpan: a bit slow here sorry, CONGRATS & hope everything is going okay

Hayley: The teeth Maddie are working on, are they the very back molars? they were alex's worst. Avon wise, where are you located? Thanks for f/b & your support.

Marydean: on the gallstones. I had my gallbladder out after passing out in the casino on night. I hope it settles for you.

Noni: CONGRATS! I've heard there are on false positives on the home tests just false negatives.

JG: Carter has my vote

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Me: ATM, As a few girls no, I have been bombarded with negative comments about being an at home mum with kids in daycare & no matter how that I explained my circumstances, it doesn't seem to matter what I have been through (depression & separation) & that I have been very unwell these last two days, I am just plain lazy. Thanks to Hayley & Kate (& my ex-SIL). Didn't help but whatever her prob is, isn't for me to deal with in that way.
I get up yst to get the boys ready & i spend half of the 70mins i have, in the bathroom, whilst trying to get the boys ready. Managed & got them to daycare early, somehow. So I came home to hopefully sleep off whatever it was that I had. That's when this f/b wars started, cos I mentioned I slept the day away. Still feeling pretty bad this morning but now, I have a sinus headache. not my week.

I ended up with severe sinus infections & was miserable from the headaches. Went through two lots of AB's & its started to flare up again today.
Had a few rough trots but I am doing well. Very tired the last week. Spent Thursday in bed, spent yst in bed (after getting the kids off to daycare & doing the mad dash to the toilet several times) & today, i'm sitting in my rocking chair, catching up on shows on myStar & trying to take it easy.
Then I went to take the boys out on Monday & the car wldn't start. After several calls to NRMA, they came out & a batt cell has gone. So I had to find another batt & I cldn't get that to the Thurs. However, I was supposed to leave for QLD that Thursday for a wedd, but yeah, had to cancel

Boys:
Jack;
Is walking, & climbing, nothing is stopping him now. Got his 3rd canine & his 3rd molar is through. Has been very unsettled during the nites of late.
Alex:
Is toilet trained (when he isn't being lazy). Managed to get through it whilst they were sick. Alex is such a big boy now. When we go out I will ask him if he wants to wear a nappy & he says no. He walks around when we go to town & is loving his freedom.

As of yst, the boys have increased their daycare days. Alex's monday mum has an opening on a monday & offered it to Jack. then their Thursday's mum made an opening on a Tuesday for them both & is looking forward to taking them to Playgroup. I spoke to her briefly about the comments last nite & she kind of said the same my friends are saying, that it is good for them. This morning when we got to the carers I said to Alex, "want to see Annette" & he smiled & nodded. They give them the skills that I can't. & being in a remote area, daycare gives them the chance to socialise & interact with other kids. (haha, if it makes this nasty lady happy I can always put Alex
into preschool as of march next year!)

Hope everyone is well, all things considering, xox

andie - i only just saw the facebook stuff sorry i didnt jump on there and give them a few words of my own!! i didnt realise!! gosh it really got heated on there! hope your not listening to it!! its just crap from self righteous mothers like that who spend their time trying to make everyone else feel bad for their decisions!! everyone needs a break and especially when ur sick!! and as u said they get to socialise and they enjoy it so why not? what she said about kids being treated badly in care dosnt happen everywhere and when u feel comfortable with the carers youve chosen then you have nothing to worry about!!! tell them to shove it!!
as for avon thats me and im in western sydney so i dont think anywhere near you lol..
anyways just wanted to jump on and say that, hope it all makes sence!! hope you feel better soon

[andie82]

Noni, thanks. I'm trying not to listen to it, cos I know I have done nothing wrong & that it actually benefits my kids, but it does hit a nerve at the same time. Yeah we've taken it off screen & doing private slashings now.

Your only like 5 1/2 hours south of me! hehe

Thanks again.

[Trillian]

Hey Andie! Great to see you hun *mwa*. Look, don't let that crap on FB bother you - she can't possibly know what it is like to be in your shoes as a single mum to two very busy and active little boys until she's walked a mile in them herself. I hate self righteous people like that. It may not be your ideal world either, but you have to do what you can to help you be the best Mum you can be to those dear little boys I'll have to add you to FB and I can give her a serve too I hope you are well again soon though so you are in the right headspace to tell them all to bugger off and leave you alone.

[andie82]

Thanks Trill. Go for it. (Andrea Blackie .. if u need that)

I think the world of you ladies here Thank you for you support.

I actually suprised myself & calmly told her to f off that she has no right to talk to me the way she is & to either change her attitude or stop talking to me.

[andie82]

I second that Andie - they are wonderful !

Yes sherie - Rach is a member here. Its so very sad. I only met her and her daughter for the first time a few weeks ago. The Newie Mothers Group is another wonderful group of ladies that appear to support and looking after one and other greatly. We have all put in to get Rach some lovely gift and the mums are all cooking for the wake. I feel very torn about going to the funeral, I want to show support etc........but (a) Im so new to the group and hardly know rach and her family (b) im pregnant and fear the sight of this may upset the family (that may be irrational but I have considered that fact none the less)......not sure what the right thing to do is. I have contributed to the gift fund and Im more than happy to some cooking also but I wonder if its appropriate for me to attend the funeral or wake under the circustances......... what do you ladies think ??

BTW I'm feeling much better today - had a rough night still in pain but woke up feeling better this morning - I wish I knew what triggers it off .....its strange.

Good for you Andie in telling that stupid cow where to go. Who is she to judge

Rainey - Not sure if it's teeth or ear infection. I would probably get it checked by a dr just to be sure. Poor little one, hope he feels better soon. How are you feeling dear ? We are getting close to the final trimester hey - how much further along are you ? Im 24 weeks I think (EDD 26/3).

Hi Girls,

Noni- CONGRATULATIONS
Andie-

[Cally]

Andie - big to you, sounds like you have been having a very rough trot and then for some self righteous b**** to stick her head in - how rude!!

MD - I found the mini sultanas!!

Trill - lol at the mini muffin thief, how cute!!

Cindy - hope those BH are a bit better today. How sad about the mum in your group.

Clare - so, what happened on the weekend??
