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.
Hi girls, I've had a massive day! We went shopping today and it was crazy. For starters it took us 45 minutes to find a freaking parking spot. There are so many crazy road ragers in the carpark!! Anyway Myer were having a sale, so I got M a couple of sprout dresses and also went to Betts Kids and got her a decent pair of shoes, some clarks sandles. I've found the kmart first steps or whatever they are just dont cut it anymore, she slips and slides all over the joint. So I decided it was time for some decent walkers. I feel naughty as I havent spent up at the shops lately lol.
I've rediscovered brauers teething remedy. So I stocked up on it today. It seems to do the trick, better than panadol. The poor thing I cant believe how many are coming through at once, no wonder her nose is like a tap.
Leanne - Yes I've had the same problem with daycare and M, seeing as she is only there 2 days a week. Its so sad isnt it!!! Are you going to say anything? I'm too chicken.
Rainy - Oh my gosh typical male hey?!
Falguni - Oh I would have been mortified too. Its hard to keep the place looking decent when the little one is sick isnt it. Even harded if you arent 100% yourself. Hang on its even hard to keep the place clean now that they are on the loose! I am forever picking up after M.
MD - YOU, a MOTHER, no empathy!!!???? What the hell are they on about? Did that offend you at all, because I would be so upset for someone to say that to me. If it makes a difference, from reading your posts over the past year I dont think you are lacking in empathy at all.
Noni - Hope you have a nice clean house now. It must be great having a 'day off', no doubt your mum loves it too. I think its so good for grandchildren to spend a day with their grandparents, wish mine were around so we could do it too!!
JG - I find the Hylands teething tablets to be good too. Its so good when the natural stuff works better than panadol etc. I cringe at the amount of times I've given M panadol over the past few days, I just dont want her to be in pain.
Arte - I too have given up on good sleep. M hasnt slept through the night for ages now. Luckily she usually isnt up more than once or twice, except when teething. It sucks when you are on a flow then something like teething breaks it.
I must go, M is munching away on strawberries (I wonder if theres such a thing as too many strawberries for bubs because I give them to her all the time, she loves them lol) and apparently DP wants to go to the local show tonight to go on rides, what a kid!
hayley- sounds like a successful shopping day to me. sprout have some really good stuff don't they?
ange- i hate when people turn up at my house unannounced. makes me so mad. i'm surprised you didn't tell her where to go!
arte- well, i basically just stopped offering him the boob, particularly in the middle of the night, but he sort of just stopped it by himself too iykwim? i'll sometimes still bfeed him to sleep for his morning sleep, just cos it's quick and easy, but he doesn't aways want it now and definitely doesn't 'need' it like he used to. nowadays he likes a bit of a spoon, a cuddle or a back rub and he drifts straight off. in the middle of the night he usually just needs a big cuddle, it's much easier.
i think the main thing was that i stopped stressing and obsessing over it, and it just kind of happened by itself iykwim?
Rainy sounds like you DF could use a kick up the bum. He sounds a bit like mine (who could also use a kick up the bum most days). Go and enjoy yourself at the Spa, dont rush home after either. Go and have coffee and cake or something after.
Have had a busy weekend so will be bbl for more girls.
Just a quicky from me. Arm is much better. The bruise kept coming out for hours and it ended up being really big and black but the soreness went away after a while so it looks a heck of a lot worse than it really is. It's already starting to go yellow around the edges, so it's on the mend. I had to have another BT done yesterday cause the Pathology lady didn't realise there were two parts to one of the tests, so I had to go back and I said to her, Umm I think you will need to use the other arm and when she saw the bruise she felt so bad about it. I told her it was OK though but she kept apologising the poor thing, it wasn't her fault. So I have a slightly less bad bruise on the other arm cause she got them to send over a super fine gauge needle to redo the test. The meds are going great - I already have patches of normal skin on my back again which i am super happy about. For those that dont know much about psoriasis, in a normal person you re-grow a new layer of skin around once a month, for people with psoriasis, it regrows every 3 days on the affected areas. So the purpose of the meds is to attack it via the immune system, so the drugs slow down the cell growth of the skin production - the same way chemo is used to stop the tumour cells from growing.
Arte, you asked about handed-ness? None of the kids are left handed at all. Apparently only 9% of the population is left handed.
Nella, I will make mac cheese for Alister's dinner when we are eating something he can't have/wouldn't eat, but the rest of the time he eats what we eat. he actually prefers to eat the same as us or otherwise he throws a tanty and wont eat his dinner, so the nights he is having something different, I have to give it to him earlier.
no, of course not. she goes & you pay, you have every right to expect Livi's stuff & pic put up
& boys are asleep. So ideal (but if only i cld hear the tv ... ) ... 
), hope you have fun a parents group today & L was good.
. I can't wait!!
