Trill that sounds awful. Hope it's feeling better today although I suspect it will be sorer for a day or so then start feeling better.
MM - poor Maddie! I hope those nasty little sods pop out soon. DD1 didn't really have any problems with any of her teeth, but it's been a different story for MissyE . Fortunately not working on any at the moment but I can see I'll be dragging half of a pharmacy along with me on our road trip!
AFM - on a bit of a downer because I didn't get that job. Sounds like it was a long shot, I was competing against ppl who had direct experience in HR (I have none). Plus they told me they thought I lacked empathy. Hahaha. But they were very impressed with my research skills so lucky it's a research organisation hey. He said he'd pass my details over to the ppl who are about to advertise some more jobs. I think he will too.
Miss E has been entertaining us with her antics. Her latest thing is to RUN across the room waving whenever she hear's DH's motorcycle. She then stands at the door waving with both arms like a lunatic. DH could hardly ride yesterday he was laughing so hard.
What can I say? Maybe it was the disembodied nature of the phone interview that did it? I asked my sis last night if she thought I was a cold hard biatch and she said "only when you want to be" ROFL!!
yeah i guess it can be hard to 'get a feel' for someone over the phone.
have you got anything else on the horizon? or were you really really aiming for that particular one?
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
Just a quickie with regards to the ear themometer. If i push the thermometer right in the ear like th instructions say i get a consistent reading. In the beginning i found i was being too gentle and not putting it in the ear far enough and readings were all over the shop.
Trill - i forgot to ask, how's the arm today? Did she put a pressure bandage on it for you? would have helped the bruising a little. How are you feeling on the meds? Still going ok?
I am so mad, and i don't get mad often! A real estate lady just showed up, the house we live in we don't pay rent for as it is part of the leased farm, but the contract is organised between the company we work for and the estate agent. Anyway i said i had no idea she was coming, and she said 'oh we sent you a letter 10 days ago" i asked who she sent a letter to as i didn't get it and then explained how the house is leased by the company not me. I said as i had no idea she was coming, the place was a mess and i would rather she came back. She basically said, oh i'm just doing a bit of a report on the structure as there is a new boss, pushed past me and walked in?! WTF. I am no shrinking violet, but this woman was not taking no for an answer. My house looks like some kind of war zone, since Lu has been sick i have pretty much done nothing! i was mortified. Stupid biartch. i need chocolate i think. *heads off to raid pantry*
JG: Depends with jack, if he falls over mid walk, & really wants to make a made dash, then he will crawl. Oh, those Hylands Teething Tabs are fab. but the chemists down here have to order them in specifically.
Leemar: no, of course not. she goes & you pay, you have every right to expect Livi's stuff & pic put up
Fal: woolies has the big blocks, 2 for $6
I have the ear thermomatoer too & I find it work if you aren't gentle (tho I had a week of experience using them when Alex was admitted at 9 mths). I was always advised that if the temp is above 38 for 24hours then to seek medical advice but never to fight a temp as its the bodys natural response to a virus.
Had a bit of a scare this morning, Found a massive green tick on my doggy (had to get Tracey to get it out whilst I held her fur back, she a maltese ****zu) so it means checking her & the kids everytime the go outside & b4 bed. So far she seems okay.
Shopping was generally fun .. Alex was fairly good. Used the toilet everytime I took him, no accidents but had trouble walking with me at times. Esp when we passed the motorbike store. OMG he was in the shop climbing on all the kids dirtbike, no fear, no qualms. Did stop him when it came to the road bikes on the footpath thou.
Rain is pouring down & boys are asleep. So ideal (but if only i cld hear the tv ... ) ...
Rainy (by the way, its raining here, sorry ), hope you have fun a parents group today & L was good.
Ange - OMG I am The Biggest Market Fan in the world. Pity my Vic days are over, I'm sure we would've made a mean market team! LOL PMSL at your crappy hand thermometer!
JG - YAY for no BH pains!! woohoo. Enjoy your cabinning. That's my preferred mode of camping too.
Andie do you get the paralysis ticks or the regular variety? My poor Beags was covered head to toe in them when she first came and lived with us (she was longgrassing it in Darwin LOL). Lucky they're not the paralysis ones but they can get infected if they're on there for too long. I'm a
SuperTickPickerOffer LOL. You can get a flea treatment that also works for ticks from the vets, might be worth it if you're having a few...
Arte, I'm about TEN years overdue for an Ikea encounter. My sis has just bought her first ever house so we've made a pact to have a stomp together soon after I get to Ade. . I can't wait!!
Rainy, L is a funny boy, I bet he had all the mums in stitches. You'll be surprised how quickly he'll go to just walking. E surprised me the other day. All I could hear was thump thump thump giggle giggle. E was crawling just for the heck of it and thought it was HILARIOUS.
Leanne I don't think you're overreacting. So she might not have been there the day they did the photos but they might've put some paintings up! I'd mention it to the carers.
MD: normally I've fuond the hardback one's (picked one out of me one nite & didn't even know what it was) but have never seen the green ones b4. Just found out the one Wispa had was one that can paralyse.
