Apparently there are some more going to be adv'd in my org soon. Just hope it's not in the middle of moving-time. I've been in denial about the whole job-search end of things - kind of hoping I'd just walk into one without all the palaver of having to apply many times over. Not realistic but hey a girl can dream!
Pfft to them MD, clearly it is their loss. MD no empathy??? i've never even spoken to you IRL, but can't imagine how they came to that conclusion! Something will show up.
I thought normal temp range was up to 37.2. Pretty sure thats what the instructions on my thermometer say..... but i have been wrong many times before!
Speaking of temps, Lu had another one yesterday. Seriously, this girl has had a temp for almost 3 weeks. She seems ok, but just off her food. Is 38.2 within the teething temp raange you think? I am sick of going to the Drs. Hoping it is just teething.
MD, no empathy??? That is perhaps the wrongest (new word lol) that they could possibly be about you! BTW, wasn't bagging out Oprah, just some of the over the top reactions. Don't mind me though, I think I am just desensitised to the whole reunion thing. Possibly because I grew up not knowing my father and although I was mildly curious I never had any sense of 'missing'. When we met a couple of years ago I tolerated a quick hug but felt no more emotional than I would have if any middle aged dude walked into a room and started hugging me. I suspect I may be the one who lacks empathy lmao. So cute about E and the motorbike. W still can't run yet, he is almost there but mostly he settles for a speedy walk.
MM, poor Maddie! 4 at once is horrible. I hope they come through really quickly.
Leanne, hope you are feeling better
Trill, Ouchie!! Are any of you kids lefties? I think W is, he has a definite preference for his left hand - dipping food, turning pages, putting peices on the ring stacker or shape sorter etc. Never thought I would get a southpaw.
Rainy, congrats on the bed. We were thinking of a trundler bed but cheaped out a bit. How do you think L will go in the big bed? What is your plan for getting him in there?
Ange, W goes off his food a bit when he teething (not that he eats much anyway). I don't know what a normal teething temp is. I don't use a thermometer. If he is actually sick he gets hot red fever cheeks. If his head feels warm and he is grumpy I give him panadol.
The last couple of nights have been very good on the sleep front - a couple of two wake up nights and last night he only woke once. He did a patch of good nights last week too, but as soon as any tooth starts moving he goes back to 4-6 wake ups. I wish all the darn molars would just come at once, it is going to be frustrating if they all take a month to get all the way through like the first one.

Ange- I give panadol for anything over 37 when it hits 38 I give nurafin as well and put a cold cloth over there body to cool them down. Xavier was the worst for teething he would always get temps really bad too. Hope things get better today.
MD- Sorry your didnt get the job.
Sherie- Hope your Arm is better today
Andie- Have fun shopping
Bit disppointed today as when I dropped the kids of at daycare I noticed in Livi's room they had new photos up of all the kids except Livi and then I looked around the room at all the paintings and there was non that Livi did. I just thought that even though she only goes 2 days a week that they would at least put some of her stuff up. Geeez I pay full price for them to go just sort of expected to see some stuff up of hers... Sorry does that sound like to much to expect am I overreacting?
Hi ladies, just a quick one, I need to get packing, we're off camping for the weekend - well cabining really (all our friends are camping but Joel and I are not into the rough it style as we booked a 2bd ensuite cabin at the same park) - they may laugh at us now but we'll be cosy warm all weekend as it's pouring rain here at the moment
Hamish is teething also but still no joy. I got some Hylands Teething Tablets yesterady and they seem to be given him better relief than bonjela atm - fingers crossed. He giggles when they dissolve on his tongue.
His getting better with walking but still prefers to crawl 50% of the time. Is he being lazy or are your bubbas still crawling as well ???
Oh well, the car isn't going to pack itself - Joel is at work, I need to pick him up on the way.......
NO IRRITABLE UTURUS BH FOR TWO DAYS NOW Fingers crossed it stays that way over the wekend too.
Hope you all have a great time and chat next week
luv
Cindy xx
jg- have fun cambining. lewis still crawls about 70%, walks 30%. just depends how fast he wants to get somewhere really. he's still not very steady.
arte- i have no idea how we're going to get him in the big bed...
he doesn't bfeed to sleep anymore, so i guess that's the first step. i thought maybe he could start the night in his bed, and then when he wakes he could come in with me for a while? also am keen to do daysleeps in his bed....all very gradual, but we'll get there eventually.
leanne- poor liv. i think that's very unfair..
ange- hows lu now? can you actually see any points sticking through? i can't.
thanks for getting me a highchair. did you survive ikea ok? my friend's dh sat down on the stairs there once and cried.
hayley- hows maddie today?
well i'm off to mothers group today. should be fun i think. lewis is so lovely and gentle playing with all the girls, it's so cute, and last week he kissed two of them on the lips....but then he grabbed one of them's head and pushed it into his crotch
Is Lewis modeling behavior he has witnessed Raino?! lmoa. No probs on high chair, survived ok. Got a bit of stuff, nothing too exciting. No teeth through yet, but dribbling for Africa so i ams sure they are coming......
Arte- i never used to have a thermometer, then one day when she was a bit hot, looked ok, a little sooky but nothing major, i took her to Drs her temp was 39.9, so decieded i was crap at telling if she was hot or not and got a digital ear one. lol
JG- Have a lovely weekend, wish i was going camping. DH working. Will prob find a market or two to crash!
Leanne- Did you say anything? I would mention it to them. Perhaps they took the photos or did the artwork on a day she wasn't there, but i am sure they wouldn't mind if you bought in a piccy of her to put up. Poor Liv, she must feel a bit left out.
Rainy - how did you get him to stop BF to sleep????? I think my plan is about the same as yours, day sleeps and I will prob go into his bed after he wakes. How is his sleeping in general now? OMG at putting girls faces in his crotch! I didn't think we had to worry about that sort of thing for years yet!
Ange, I have a digital ear one, before W was born everyone was telling us you NEEDED one to tell if they were o.k. However, I used it a couple of times when he was on the cusp of unwell and I could never get two readings the same so sometimes he had a fever and then 30 seconds later he didn't lol. Anyhows, he has never been sick enough to go to the doctors (as far as I know ). Glad you survived Ikea. We put in a new kitchen while I was about 8 months preg and walking around IKEA always gave me a sugar low so I always raided the counter with the samples of weird but yum swedish sweets.
Leanne, bummer! My playcenter does the same thing, he has been going since march and they just put up the first pic of him on the wall.
hey everyone,
sorry imn not keeping up at all lately!! again haha.. Ashas at my mums today so im trying to catch up on some cleaning.. the house is sooo bad, i just finished off the bathroom and i feel so much better it was sooo bad!! but theres heaps more to do ive just been so tired ive been laying around all day doing nothing except what is absolutely necessary lol oopsy!! still havnt been to the dr yet or really told many people lol but i spose its all early days hehe...
arte - i found that with the ear and forehead thermometer we had too i only use the under the arm one really now.. its a pain but it seems the most correct..
leanne - deffinately ask some kids only go one day a week 2 days is plenty for her to have atleast something on the wall!! thats not a good enoough effort if u ask me.. does livi like craft? some kids are really uninterested in craft which makes it hard to have a painting up for them but the photo theres no reason they shouldnt have taken some of her pics are taken every day usually in childcare centres so they surely have some of her somwhere!!
falhuni - lol dribbling for africa!! asha seems to never stop dribbling ever since she started teething its sooo annoying lol!! she was in bibs for months just so she didnt soak her clothes!!
rain - hahahahahahaha sorry rainy have to laugh at that where did he learn that?? lol
jg - great news the pains have gone away fingers crossed they stay away!! have a great trip hope u get a good laugh at all the people with leaking tents while your enjoying ur cabin!!!
md - sorry to hear about the job! i agree with everyone else on the empathy comment.. maybe theyve missunderstood the meaning of empathy? haha thats all i can think of!!
anyway ladies i am off for a rest before i have to finish the rest of this cleaning.. have a great day everyone
