Better post so we don't fall off the page!!
Mum and I took K down to the little creek this morning. She had so much fun splashing around.
Oz - have fun camping
Rainy - glad you got some baby free time and are feeling better. Re DH's weekend away, is he able to keep the promise about not drinking (ie is it a bloke's weekend and they'll be bagging him for not drinking or are his mates mature enough to understand?) Do you have a doula?
MM - if it's still 6 weeks to the wedding, couldn't you get your eyebrows done now and then again just before? I do mine every 4 weeks with my legs when I go to the beautician.
Someone doesn't want to have a nap - better go.
-
Rainy do you have kids screaming "Hi Miss" from 500 meters away ever time you go there? It's hilarious stepping out with my stepmum who has been a teacher for decades, she runs into old students all the time! Glad you enjoyed being eyebrowed. One of these days I'll finally develop enough sophistication to walk into one of those beauty places for the first ever time LOL.
Cally yep I just spoon yoghurt of choice into Tupperware iceblock moulds. The go-gurt tubes are good too, I just chuck the whole box in the freezer. No mess. E bites the ice out but if it's been out of the freezer for a couple of mins it's pretty soft anyway.
MM - wow that's a fantastic bargain on the rings! Did you know it was going to be that cheap or was it a total happy surprise? Must've put a big smile on your face, that's for sure!
Katie, so NOT jealous of your camping trip. Feel like I've been camping in my half-unpacked house for weeks LOL. Only joking, sounds lovely.
Arte - sorry you've been feeling so crummy sick. :hug: Thanks for asking about my sis, she is loving life. She's off at a huge lezzie-fest (her words LOL) this weekend so I'll hear all about it for the next month or so.
Update - well had another attack last night (worst ever - I think ppl thought I might've been having a baby PMSL). Good thing it coincided with the day lovely Junior Dr Surgeon was there, he dragged HH Surgeon round to me this morning and now finally I'm on the urgent list. Will find out next week when I'm going in. :) Pretty bleh today though. Had to cancel social engagements tonight. :(
-
Cally:
how is the weekend with your folks going?
Hayley:
what a bargain on them rings!!!!
Katie:
Hope you got your camping gear sorted out. Hope you have fun!
When I shaved Alex's head last year, I had to hold him down like I was shearing a sheep <giggling>. glad your experience with Logan was more simplified.
MD:
am very sorry to hear about your gallbladder attacks however, I am happy to hear when it occured & now that something will be done. :hug: hope the w8 isn't long now.
US: ... no lessons today as my friend cldn't make it & I am coughing like a lawnmotor that won't kickover ... still went to the pool today!! ... tookthe boys to macca's then came home & Jack slept in this horrible heat ... then they were cranky so we went back to town & did some shopping! ... was over 40 here this afternoon :S
Jack is cracking me up l8ly. He's so cute & cuddly. Loves drumstick ice creams!!
-
Hi girls!
MD: big phat hugs comin' at ya! :hug::hug: that really sux that the thing is getting worse, but i guess now that you are on the urgent list you may get in and get the horrid wee things out. (i'm searching for that elusive silver lining LOL!)
Andie: oh wow, that is getting hot up there. have you got a cold? hope the coughing stops soon.
Oz: i'll have to check out the pics!
Arte: yeah i reckon these babies are going through such a great phase ATM. you can barely take a bad picture...so many smiles and so little time.
things here are slowly improving. i will feel better once i see this PND specialist and know where i stand and how to go forward. i have a feeling though that the TTC will be put back, which is something i will have to learn to resign myself to.
MM: IKWYM about the mark-ups. my BF at school her dad was a buyer for the big companies and the stories he would tell were shocking. but that's the business i guess. how exciting though! getting all ready!!
AFM: well my 'twilight' obsession will be coming to an end soon as i am halfway through the 4th book. totally devoed. what will i do now??!! LOL! at least i have hooked my BF onto them and now we giggle like two teenage girls over our infatuation with all things sexy vampire! LOL! oh we are sad!
Leila is doing great guns. she is just in the best phase. always smiling and really trying out the language stuff. we got our first sentence today....e' per te...(in italian) it means: it's for you! she was handing me some half chewed banana. i am sooo stoked.
-
Clare, OMG, that is soo cute & in another language!
I come down with sinus issues the other nite & I'm not sure why the cough, I think its part of it. It doesn't help that the weather is like 40 one min then 25ish the nxt! haha. Something is in the air, am sneezing like a trooper .. it is cool enough to put Jack in a wondersuit today! Go figure :s
-
MD, I loooooove you!!! After all this time I finally got around to trying rice milk and it worked! I gave W a bottle with ricemilk when he woke up last night and HE ACTUALLY TOOK IT!!!! He has never had a bottle in his life. I gave it to him at 11.30pm and he slept until 4am - that is 4.5 hours of sleep, the longest we have had in months! (Paid for it when he got up for the day at 5am, but anyhow...) I hope it works again tonight because I am so close to resorting to some sort of cry it out method and I really really don't want to but I can't go on waking every two hours. It is so consistant that I have no hope of him growing out of it, I think it is definitely up to me to do something about it.
I've been found....
-
Oh Arte I love you too! LOL :hug: Glad the rice milk worked! I suggest once you've got him drinking it enthusiastically every time, start adding a bit of cowjuice, then gradually put more and more in (over several weeks) until he's on real milk because there's not a lot of goodness in the ricemilk. Don't be hard on yourself if you do need to resort to stricter methods, you need to look after yourself too. :hug: With us it was a case of getting over the hump, we've all been happy and well rested and not needed to use the cry techniques after those first few weeks.
Clare when is your appt with the big gun specialista? She better be good! PMSL at your vampiric obsession, you'll just have to resort to old runs of Buffy and Angel to get you thru LMAO.
Andie - if you're not using it already, get some Fess Spray. It's nasal spray which is basically just salty water but it is a total godsend. I use it during spring/summer and it even stops me from snoring LMAO. *ssssh* That's our little secret.
-
Thanks MD, will give it ago. Just from a chemist?
-
Hi girls!
MD: you just saved my day!! i have the entire buffy box set in my cupboard all ready and waiting just for this moment!! you are a champ!! my friend in canberra had to beg at borders today to try and get on a waiting list for the last 2 books of the series and they wouldn't!! LOL! love it.
Andie: yeah you get it from a chemist, but just make sure that you get the adult version!!
Arte: yay for the rice milk!! we use that too when Leila is beside herself. she usually takes it more often than the cows milk. the only other thing that she prefers over the rest is goats milk. but at almost $5 a litre it is a 'special' treat LOL!
AFM: well we had a lovely day trip to healesville today. soaked up the glorious rays of sun and i had a scrumptious fig, honey, rocket, blue cheese and walnut salad...mmmm DH ditched the lunch and went straight to work on the dessert menu! Leila ran around like crazy with a pack of other toddlers.
-
Andi, yep, from the chemist, spend an extra couple of dollars and get the big bottle cos if you have sinus probs you will love it an use it all the time LOL. :D
Clare, oh your day out sounds luuuurvely, Mmmm salad, mmmmm CHEEEEEEESE!! BTW I'm totally jealous of your Buffy collection, I only came in on the last couple of seasons then saw the first and a bit season on old reruns but there's a huuuuuuge hole in the middle of my Buffy viewing. *sigh* You could watch the Underworld movies again, that's vamps v. werewolves LOL. Bit un-tamer than Buffy tho.
-
hi girls
happy australia day everyone :dance:
clare- was that meal at the healesville hotel? did you visit the jewellery shop while you were there? my ex is a healesville boy born and bred so i used to be a bit of a local around there. :lol:
arte-so glad the rice milk is working :clap:how did you go last night? you will get there hun, i promise, lewis only wakes 1-2 times a night now :lol:
md- yes i can't go anywhere around there without being spotted. the worst is when you just run into the supermarket to grab something quick and students want to introduce you to their cousin and aunty and little brother gggrrrr!! does my head in. my friends refuse to go there with me as they can't stand being followed around, you end up having to do parent-teacher interviews while in the line at the chemist!
you have to go to the beautician one day- you'll love it!
cally- i'm pretty sure dh will be abe to stick to his promise of not drinking cos they're actually going there to watch a ski-boat race, so they're not just sitting around doing nothing iykwim? they'll actually be out and about doing stuff and he's actually driving a competitor's trailer so he can't drink in the day.
i do have a doula as well, so at least i would have her there.
so what is everyone up to for their australia day?
-
Thanks Clare & MD .. will invest in some next time I go check the post box. Thank you.
Sounds like a lovely day out you had there Clare. Wish it was sunny here so that I can take the boys out somewhere. The weather is miserable & Jack is still in a wondersuit (now with snot pouring out his nose, noticed when he came to show me the biscuit he was munching on)
Rainy: what are you Aust. Day plans?
I have none, which didn't suprise me till I was sitting here dwelling on it. Don't even have anyone to visit. Just realised how lonely life is here (my neighbour / friend went out to her parents house in the heat wave the other day & hasn't come home). Plus Alex has been up since 5.30 & I've prob been up since with maybe a 10 min dozes & a 20 min one.
Off to get some dimetapp for Jack & see if I can actually do the dishes (water's in the sink & everything already! haha) ...ttfn
-
hey everyone! I haven't had time to catch up on all your news yet - DH has been doing a grant application so he's been on the computer for nearly 4 days, so I've not had a chance to get near it ROFL. So i'll be back later - I have a million and one things to do on here first to get caught up.
-
Just popping in to say hi, we are back from camping. Had a great weekend but now I am left with all the washing and cleaning out the tent etc. Will come back later to catch up, have loads to do and tones of photos to upload to facebook.
-
Happy Australia Day everyone!! We haven't done much, took DD to the pool and we are having lamb for dinner!!
Oz - saw the photos, was it a bit wet?
Clare - have been meaning to read the Twilight books. I assume they are pretty popular and I'm not going to have much chance of getting them at the library.
Rainy - that's why DH never does the shopping in the town where he teaches - goes 20 minutes up the highway so they don't all talk to him!
MD - bummer about the attack, yay for getting it seen to quickly!!
-
Happy Aus day all!! Woo hoo!!
Oz - Glad you had a good time camping, I noticed you put pics up on FB. I want to check them out but we have used all our download for the month & the net is soooooo slowwww. So I'll check them out in the next few days.
Cally - We are heading to the pools shortly, thats as far as our Aussie day celebrations are going!
Rainy - Ohhh no I didnt think about that, god they must drive you nuts. Maybe I dont want to be a teacher after all!
Arte - Thank god you've found a solution. Hope it keeps working for you.
Andie - If it helps, we are on our own today as well as our family are all away travelling & the only ones here, DP's parents, have decided I'm in the bad books lol.
Clare - Sounds like you guys had a great day yesterday, I love watching M run around with other kids.
Gotta keep it short, we are off to the pool now!
-
Hi Ladies
Just touching base here with you. Our Aust day has been pretty lame. Not even lamb or lamingtons. Honestly, didn't think about it this year at all. Will have to make up for it next year. Sarah and I did have a paddle in the pool, she bailed early so I lay down for a rest. Not so funny until you realise that its only one of those clam shell ones. Was hilarious tryig to get back out.
Anyway...hope you're all well. Better put S to bed, miss cranky pants has a runny nose and a cough so dosing up on panadol as well as going to try that Fess out before bedtime. She hates me picking her goobies so will be fun to see how she goes with this stuff.
Hugs to all

Thought i'd pop in and say hi too....
Mum and Dad came up yesterday and looked after L while hubby and i went out for lunch and had a lovely day. It was fantastic i must say. First time we've been out together without her since she was born. Stupid thing was i missed her and couldn't wait to see her when we got home.
Had a shocking night last night. L was restless and upset from 10pm until about 12.30. No idea what was wrong with her, she is fine today.......Then Dad woke me at 6am in excruciating pain wanting some pain relief. Mum took him to the hossy, turns out he had a kidney stone, but passed it, so all good now. He was trying to tell me it was worse than child birth. :rolleyes: Dad's eh? If he wanted to leave my house early he could have just said so! ;)
