I bet Erin is on it more than me when we get one! One of the mums at school got her DH one for Father's day.
DH got a Mario and Sonic Olympic game on sat for his birthday, he and my brother were playing it and they both worked up a sweat LOL
I am now on 3 weeks holidays!!!!! So happy even though I didn't get to sleep in cause DH has a course so is leaving at 7.15am instead of 5.20am! (He's happy about the sleep in but not about the commute considering we live diagonally across the road from his work)
I am really looking forward to spending some time one to one with Riley this week before the school holidays start, and also Jess cause she has only 2 exams this week, then she starts Yr 12 next term eeekkk where did that time go????
Sheree- Riley is such a cutie in that photo, so glad you have an easy one this time round LOL
Leanne- how is the studying going? When do you open?
Kim- hopefully council has sorted their stuff out and you can get the keys, post some photos so we can see the new house. You must be so excited, will you be able to move in straight away?
Shazz- glad your studying is going well too, how is the teenage girl thing going for you? Not fun is it???
Elissa- I am crossing my fingers for you with TTC, atm it feels like EVERYONE around me is getting pg so I have a good feeling about you!
Hello to anyone I may have missed, have a wonderful day, I am off to do some shopping and coffee with a friend YAY
DH loves the wii Tania, an Xbox is pretty similar to a playstation whereas the wii is something really different, tell him there's boxing! D likes that one!
I'll tell him, although I don't think he's really into boxing....more footy. I told him it will hep me lose my extra kgs haha...just gotta stop getting ice chocolates when i go out.
Chris's dad is in hospital (went in Sunday morning). They think he has had a mild stroke. Chris was really upset when he went to visit last night as he couldn't even scratch his face and didn't know who everyone was. This morning he was apparently much better and could talk and move his arms then I just got a txt from MIL saying that he isn't so good this arve. I can't go visit because I have the kids and Jayden will run around too much etc. So not really sure how serious it is but its not looking good ATM.
Gotta jump in the shower now, just did 25mins and 7kms on the bike...and I forgot to put the air con on so I don't smell too good LOL.
Wii fit is awesome i have only played it once but i really loved it and it was one heck of a workout! I want one too
leanne - a huge pat ont he back for losinf thta 2 kg, thats so fntastic you will be on your way to bub #2 in no time!
christine - hope you have loads of fun with Riley this week, hope Jess does well in her exams too. Thanks for the TTC well wishes, i hope you are right about me getting pg too!
Tania - sorry to hear about Chris' Dad
Sorry for all the personals that i have forgotten, i had a lot to catch up on! Have had a good few days here, Archie is loving being doted on by his grandparents and aunties. My Aunty found out on Friday that she is having a girl, they have 2 boys so a girl is strange for all of us, we went pink shopping and BOY did i get clucky!! Arch is doing so well with using the toilet, he did all of his wees and poos in the toilet this morning, at one stage he did a dribble in his undies and promptly told me he needed the toilet, he can finally pull his undies up and down himself which makes a huge difference, he feels a lot more independant and in control of toilet training i think. Though this arvo he had a friend around and wee'd and poo'd eveywhere, didn't phase him at all. I am pretty sure when i O'd so i am expecting AF this weekend, if i am right then i am very proud of my body for giving me such obvious signs. DH and I BD on O day, so i guess there is a slight chance....I have had a pg test in my suitcase for a few days now i am being very strong not testing early again.
Thanks girls...They think he has Pneomonia(sp?), they keep changing their minds what they think is wrong with him...its frustrating Chris, he can't understand why they don't know...I can because his symptoms are inconsistant.
Good luck Elissa.....NO EARLY TESTING!! Haha, if you BD'ed on O day thats the recipe for a boy (so they say). With Jayden I conceived on O day and with Ashlea was 2 day before...the myth worked for me but it was probably coincidence. YAY for Archie's TT'ing! Jayden went to the potty once yesterday and once today so we are slooowly getting there, he has a bad nappy rash ATM so good reason to keep his nappy off.
well done leanne that is awesome it is a good feeling isn't it
hi everyone else i am really strapped for time at the moment so no personals
Ryan is as sick as a dog so we have had a really crappy week hope he gets better soon i miss my happy boy
I am having a busy week off, seem to spend all day rushing around doing something but its better than work!! (mostly)
I hope Ryan gets better soon, illness and children seem to go hand in hand don't they?
Elissa- we are all eagerly awaiting any news!
Hope everyone else is well, I seem to be dealing with a lot of cr@p atm so don't feel that good but hopefully it will all sort itself out.
Big hugs Christine. Hope you are feeling better soon.
VENT GIRLS - NEED ADVICE - AM I BEING UNREASONABLE?
My sister rang last nite, and now I am just downright peeved off!
Her wedding is in May and she wants my dress size now as she wants to order the dress! She hung up on me cause I told her I wanted to loose weight. She then rings me back and discusses it with me. She said I have got till Dec..... What tha.... Am I being unreasonable to ask for February??? She said the dresses are silk and it would be near impossible to get them taken in later. She wants to be organised now - this is what she says to me. Maybe I am being unreasonable, but I have just had a baby and seriously want to loose some weight as most of the girls in her bridal party (5 of us), are rake skinny. Even after loosing some weight I will look no even close to how thin they are!
Then she says, and I am organising a babysitter for your 2 boys and my niece and nephew. She said they can come to the church service but are not invited to the reception..... what tha again..... They are family in my eyes and I can understand she doesn't want kids, but family is different isn't it???? Lachlan and my niece are in the bridal party after all!
I am furious atm.....
Just to top off a horrid day too, lachlan played up something fierce yesterday too.
I was so buggered. I went to Emerald (an hour away) yesterday with the boys and OMG..... Lachlan played up so badly! Was outside coles, trying to locate a trolley with a capsule and there were none. Asked for one and she took off for 10mins to find one to no prevail. I was holding Riley and Lachlan wanted to go and on the car in the aisle but it was too far away from where I was waiting. I couldn't just let him go off. So he chucked the biggest tantrum and here I am trying to hold him also, he is trying to twist himself away from me and me holding on so tightly I nearly break his arm..... and alls I was there for was to get Wade some pepsi max on special - 4 cartons. So I requested someone help me seeing as they couldn't find me a trolley.
God I hate going out with 2 kids these days. 2 young ones at that!
I finally got Riley's birth certificate yesterday too. Wish it had of come the day before, as then I could have taken it to Emerald with me to open up his Bank Account. I don't go to Emerald until another 4 weeks now, soooo it will have to wait, but I really wanted to get it opened to deposit his birth monies. So that took 13 weeks to come, how ridiculous.
Agggh gosh I am annoyed with my sister, she hung up twice on me last nite and sent me a text saying she is eloping now. I am so over this already and we still have 8 months to go yet!
Oh and I was also talking to my other sister this morning and looks like Mel is bending the truth a bit.
She told Nik that she said I could have till January. She only told me December and I was asking for February.
Mel also neglected to tell Nik that the Bridesmaids are all staying together the night before and it is going to cost $600 a room.
Appears like it is nothing but the best for my sister. This is normally the sister I get along with really well, but I think since Nik and I have had kids we are more on the same level. Mel just has no idea really.....
And I think this is all driven by mel's fiancee too. He is lovely but again they both have a reality check coming when they have kids. See his brothers and sisters don't have kids, so it just looks like we are causing the drama.
I don't want to leave my kids with anyone. She even told Nik, that "why can't wade's parents come down to brissy and look after Sheree's kids. What tha.... God she expects alot.
Ohhh there is more, but my mind is frazzeled (there is something else she said to Nik this morning, just can't think, will post when I remember - but it was 2 different stories - appears to be telling porky pies for the sake of getting the other sister on side). I just really think that if my friend said to me no kids at her wedding that is cool, but I really think us travelling so far to her wedding and the simple fact they are close family (ie: nephews) then surely that is ok.
Not much time to reply Sheree but just wantd to say that its perfectly reasonable for you to expect her to have her own nephews there, you are travelling a long way and Riley may still be BF then too. I think she is being very unreasonable.
