MD! Glad you survived LOL! Great to hear that H has a fab teacher this year too. I have a feeling she will really blossom this year.
Noni, that's wonderful she was so confident in being there. I'm sure she'll be fine when it's the 'real deal'.
K, I would be a bit concerned if a mw got busy and forgot an appointment actually. I know it can happen, but that's just not professional enough IMO. Great you've foind another one though.
PP, how is the arm today hun?
LOL are your thought G ;)
H, I bet you feel like a weight's been lifted with your MIL deciding she wants to be part of things now. You've done the right thing the whole way through and it's paid off :hug:
Clare, I hope the slurpie man has had a restock overnight or I feel there will be a rebellion ROFL.
Well it actually got to 41 here yesterday but it didn't feel that hot kwim? I did sleep under the aircon last night though cause I can't sleep when I'm hot, and if I'm hot and sweaty then forget it! I went back to bed at 4am when DH got up for work cause it had cooled down by then. Today will be a bit hotter though I think. I have to change a tyre on the car and go to town and get another one replaced, so that will be fun to do :rolleyes:
-
Hi girls!
Noni: sounds like Asha is already in love with her kindy LOL! she sounds a bit like leila, getting jiggy with the mealtimes LOL!
MD: i just saw on sunrise that you guys are in for the long haul on the heat front. we get a cool change of 35 degrees on saturday (na na narni na!!!).
mmmm haighs or the hospital? hard choice LOL! if they do let the chocolate melt, time to don the bikini and start a revolution.
Oz: yeah have to agree with Sherie that i too would be turned off if she forgot the appt. glad that there is someone else who sounds great though. I made DH read the latest homebirth story in the birth story section and now he is alot more into the idea...maybe your DH would like it?
Sherie: too right there will be! what is a quiki mart without ALL the slurpee goodness?? i mean seriously. i will be there tonight donning the MEGA cup again, so if he is a good man, he'll have the red and blue in stock. otherwise i will promptly throw a tantrum.
MM: maybe MIL can come to some middle ground re the cake. one layer the choice of yours and the other layer a fruit cake? that way all is good. (and just get her to do the fruit one as the smaller layer on top LOL!).
AFM: well i have had a DH complaining all day and night about the heat. slightly annoying when you are sitting there watching nadal..i mean the tennis...and you are reminded of how hot and still it is. (hence he was kicked out and told to not come home without a slurpee).
Leila has been doing surprisingly well with the heat. last night i had to put the fan on in her room, which always makes me nervous after i saw a today tonight show years ago of fans catching fire. but it did the trick. she woke around 1am needing water but went straight back to sleep. when she woke she downed a whole sippy cup of water!
today is her first day of official kindy. we got outta the car and the girl couldnt stand still for the excitement! didnt even look back when we left. humph. LOL!
-
Rainy - Haha didnt realise that, good one!
Trillian - Wow I'm impressed, I wouldnt even know where to begin with changing a car tyre!
Oz - I agree with Trillian about that midwife, that would put me off straight away.
Noni - Have fun at the wedding. Hey when are you getting married?! Glad A went well at daycare, always a relief. She will love it & benefit from it.
Clare - Oh yay glad the first day at Kindy was a success!! Hmm whats this about fans catching on fire, I put it on in M's room every night as its hot in her room!!!! Scary maybe I wont be doing that anymore!?
-
Morning ladies.
Just discovered Lu looking very guilty............she found a packet of natural confectional Co jellies i had in my bag and had snuck off and ate what was remaining. :o Wonder if she'll be bouncing off the walls soon. :doh: Silly mother moment, not sure why the nappy bag was on the ground for her to rifle through!
Clare- I meant to say, very impressed with Leila's italian!
Trill- after finding inspiration in your swimming post, i gave it a whirl. Don't think i got the full effect of the birthday suit in the blue clam though. :rofl: Changing a tyre in 40 degrees is no fun. hope you made it to town and back.
MM- Good to see you've managed to reign MIL into line. I guess she wants to make fruitcake b/c it is easy and she could do it now and it would keep until the wedding. Most other cakes would need to made the day before. Hope you end up with something yummy like a mudcake. mmmmmmmmmm cake.
Oz- i'm with Trill, ditch the middie who 'forgot' to come. The other one sounds lovely, give her a shot!
PP- How's the arm? Sounds nasty and incredibly uncomfortable.
DD in bed reading a book and talking to herself like a woman possesed. Too much sugar you think??? Wonder if she'll sleep........ off to the pool soon. Can't wait.
-
Lol Ohhh no, hopefully after a big swim she will sleep!!
-
hi all
better be quick - stressful stressful dayat work.
arm is alot better - thanks for asking. still red and a bit swollen and sore but no one else wouldnotice i dont think. so another drama finished in PP world!!
Katie - i am with theothers - leaves a bad taste in your mouth that she forgot you... i hope the other one is lovely. then again you may meet this one next time and really gel with her. exciting!
Clare - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm slurpees!
Noni - glad CC went well
MD - go to Haighs 1st, then the hospy will follow....
Ange - hilarious story whata cutie she is!!! swimming will help...
all well here. mum boiught me some new mat clothes and sent them up.. in a gorgeous LBD today and loving it! we are going away for the weekend w friends and their 5 month old - cant wait!
-
girls, not feeling too good today. woke up at 5am, throwing up and the runs.
dh has taken day off work, went to bunnings and bought me a $400 portable air-con.
too hot to type! xoxox
-
Oh Raniy you poor thing. I hope the aircon helps and you feel better. What a lovely DH you have though.
Decided last night that I will meet the other midwife and if I dont love her then I will keep looking. I have more numbers that I havent called yet. I agree that it wasn't a good sign she could just forget me, very unprofessional.
BBL L needs something.
ETA Ange L tries to sneak off with lollies too, they are far to cheeky.
PP woo hoo on the new mat clothes.
-
Big :hug: Rainy! What a sweet DH. Do you think its a sign of labour not being too far away or just the heat?
PAP - How exciting enjoy your weekend & hope work isnt too stressful hehe!
Oz - Still plenty of time so you dont need to rush into things anyway. :)
-
Yep Katie, you've got time on your side to find the perfect middy.
H, I haven't heard of that? Was it in the news? We all have fans in our rooms and they do tend to get hot after a while, but I've yet to see one catch fire - that is a worry isn't it?
PP, gee you've got a lovely Mum to do that for you - I shudder at the thought of what my Mum would buy me LOL.
G, how does the new aircon feel? I hope you're better soon. I was talking to a friend of mine in town and her sister and her DH came down with a tummy bug within a day of each other.
Ange, I always give Alister those lollies, they don't have the nasties like the other lollies do and I've yet to see him get hyper on them LOL, cause there has been times when he's eaten more than I'd like him too thanks to the older kids :rolleyes:
Well I survived the trip to town. The other day (tues) I did a tyre on the way to town, and had to put the spare on, which wasn't pleasant at all being on the side of the highway and all. I gets to town and I knew that no one would have tyres in our size (cause we needed a new on cause the back ones were stuffed anyway) cause they are 18inch, so they have to order them in. The regular place we go to said 'yeah, we could get them in a few days" which knowing them translates into "yeah, we'll have them here by Friday next week if you're lucky" so I went to the other place and the young fella said they didn't have them but if he rang right now (noon) he would have them here by tomorrow (wed). So DH took the one I'd taken off into town yesterday for them to fit it while he was at work and he'd pick it up on the way home cause knowing my luck I would do the other tyre on the way to town and I would have nothing cause the spare was already on. So that's why this morning I had to put the new tyre on the car and go to town to get the other one on. As much as I hate having to change tyres, it's something you have to know how to do - it's the first thing DH taught me when we got together LOL. Plus on our new car it's such a bugger to do cause the spare is underneath the car, so you have to get it out first before you can take the flat off and change it. I also had to get some new jocks for Lindsay and book contact for his books, so I was able to fill in the morning.

Hello ladies,
I've been MIA lately, bloody internet went down - finally worked out we needed a new modem so after over 2 weeks we are back online - yippi !
I read back a far way but can't recall too much to do personally tonight sorry.
Update for us: Hamish is turning into a little man by the day. He wants to put himself to bed these days, takes his bottle into his room and lays on his mat. We pick him up, put him into his cot and say good night and leave. Within 10 minutes he's asleep with an empty bottle to be collected off the floor. It's a dream for a heavily pregnant mumma who was struggling to hold him while giving him his bottle.
He has started toilet training. Tells me when he needs to do #2 and walks into the toilet, puts his seat in place and waits to be lifted on. He reads a book and sings songs while he waits and regardless of whether he goes or not he MUST get the toilet paper to dab dab dab........ If he manages to do anything - he knows to head to the pantry to duly get his tiny teddy reward. Mind you in 2 weeks his only got 4 rewards but its a start I suspose.
Irritable uterus is still being a major pain in the a$$ well not really more in the front than back - LOL but only another 8 weeks and it's all over. I can do it !!
Hope you are coping in this heat and that the little ones and being good for their mummies.
Will try to keep up
-
Hi girls!
Sherie: yay on the tyre changing. i have only had to do it once, and that was with a friend and a nice and small sedan. it was an isolated dirt road and the only help we could find were some cows. they chewed cud and told us do the same! LOL! but we got there in the end. needed to use a vacuum cleaner at one stage tho...(yes, we had a vacuum cleaner in the boot).
MM: the fans on fire story was a today tonight special...so no doubt, terribly inaccurate LOL! it's just one of those things that stuck in my mind. needless to say i have 3 on ATM (including in DDs room). it's just waaayyy to hot to not have them on.
PP: i'm glad that the arm seems to be improving. you have had a rough patch these last couple of months! when are you planning on stopping work? i reckon you and DH need to run away somewhere for a weekend delight!
Rainy: hope that the sickness passes. could be a sign for early labour though...i got quite nauseous and had the runs for a couple of days before the big event. make sure you get plenty of fluids though, with it being so hot it's so easy to get dehydrated.
(i know, i know, obvious statement LOL!)
AFM: well all good here. after i read the story about the little girl thrown over the westgate, DH came and picked me up from work and Leila from kindy. so we had a nice impromptu day together. poor DH has really been affected by it.
it's also still sweltering here. a bit cooler than last night though. i think it is 34 or something ATM. so some improvement. have put the shell pool on the front verandah. DH is off getting me my slurpee for the night (quiki mart guy promised that i will have red!), so i will don my swimmers (world is not ready for my public birthday suit LOL!) and sit in the shellpool sipping slurpee and saying hi to the neighbours. ah sweet life!
-
Clare you crack me up, I am picturing you in your front yard in the clam pool throwing back your slurpee.
JG good to see you back. H sounds so grown up and sounds like TT is going well. I cant believe you only have 8 weeks left.
Trill DH makes me help him change the tyre (when we have had to) he thinks it is something I should know how to do.
Rainy how are you feeling now? Do you think the vomiting could be some prelabour? Anyway I hope your nice and cool and feeling better.
I am so bored tonight.
-
ha ha! i can use my internet outside in the shell pool....ooops dont drop it!
not happy....
sold out of red slurpee. quiki mart man was very apologetic. should be. heatwave: red is best.
beh, shell pool makes it better though. but what is orange mandarin flavour anyway??!!! no wonder it was the only one left....
Oz: i'm with ya. sooo bored. nadal isnt playing tennis tonight so dont even have eye candy to entertain me....
JG: welcome back!!!!! wow TT is happening!
-
Clare I think you should march down to shop in your bikini and demand some answers!! LOL
-
yeah! too right! AND i may not even bother drying myself off!!!!
take that quiki mart man! get your little 'slippery when wet' sign at the ready cause i am a comin'!!! mwah mwah mwah haaaaa....
oh man, the sugar is too much for my system. i'm going crazeeee.
-
Oh Clare, that quikimart man had better get ready. I can just tell if he don't have RED when you send L out tonight, there's gonna be a scene LOL.
Yes I absolutely know how to change a tyre (even down to having a hammer in the boot for when the nuts are on too tight) but I've thus far in my life managed to get by without ever having to do it. Maybe because I've got big jugs?? PMSL
JG - so good to hear from you sis. You must've been going crazeeee without your internet?! Hope that uterus settles down.
PP - so right. Haighs is totally a dangerous place for me right now. I can't even look in the window, I have to walk straight past! Enjoy your weekend, sounds lovely.
Mannnn I'm so thinking of Rainy today. I can't get out of my head that the runs etc is a sign of labour coming on. Let us know how you're doing hun! xxxx
Speaking of labour coming on, I'm due to become a GREAT-aunty any day now. (Well I'm already a great aunty but soon I'll be Great-Aunty)! Yep my sister is gonna be a Nanna soon. OMG that takes some mental adjustment, i can tell you.
Noni I forgot to ask how you're going in the MS stakes? Is it settling down now? Did you end up finding something nice to wear on Saturday?
AFM - well now that DD1 is off to school everyday, and DH is back at work with no more excuses for taking time off, it's just me and bossy-boots at home most of the day. OMG she is getting that STROPPY about having things her own way. I'm gonna do a sign language intensive, cos it's driving me insane when I don't know what she wants - she now signs more, food, book/read, down/up (hasn't quite worked out the difference between up and down yet LOL) and bath, and washmyface. There are an assortment of words that go along with this but I really need some more signs NOW.
-
LOL Clare!! Thats hillarious. What is a slurpee anyway, is it like those freeza icey pole block things that take you forever to work your way through? Yep the girl thrown off the bridge has really affected me too, I couldnt get to sleep last night just thinking of it. There's a couple of terrible child abuse stories in the current affairs section of BB atm, it just astounds me the things that parents do to their own children!
MD - Hey I didnt know you were still going along with the signing, thats so cool! Must make life easier? I was thinking of Rainy as well, not long to go now its so amazing.
Oz - Well I guess its not a bad thing at all knowing how to change a tyre, I'm just too scared!
Trillian - And you have a big 4WD dont you? Haha you are braver than me!
Was up at 5am this morn with M, for a bottle. Not too bad, managed to stretch her out till 6am with a dummy until I gave it to her. She has been going SO well lately with the whole bottle situation, keeping my fingers crossed it doesnt all go downhill again.
Girls I cant believe it. I bought a witchery dress last Sunday & it fit me perfectly. I tried it on last night to see what kinda shoes to wear with it, & do you think I could get the zip up!? Its soooo tight, I must have put on weight! Cant believe it, mind you I can this past week I have eated nothing but crap. So as of today, I am on a diet lol.
On a more exciting note, went down to the shops with my sisters (bridesmaids) last night & they found gorgeous bridesmaid dresses, just from forever new, they are so flowy and casual, yet stunning. Cant wait its all coming together now. I even got a little fake bunch of white roses for $2.50 for M's own bouquet, she will look gorgeous.
