congratulations katie
I am so friggen clucky as well Trill, it aint funny hehe!
Not long now MM and you can start TTC.
I think now it is Noni due in August, Arte in Sep and me in Oct.
Just a quick one cause I realised I missed a whole page of posts LOL.
H, that big dark square looking thing is our front dam and to the left of that is the house. Sydney is not quite 600km east of us and the shops are 42km's to the north LOL - puts it all in perspective for you doesn't it?
MD, I hope you have a good recovery from it. I remember when Mum had it done it was still open surgery and she was in hospital for a week.
OK, must dash and get the kids off the bus
Trill - How amazing, its like being in the outback! Listen to me, such a city girl. Your dam is humungous, do the kids swim in it?
MM, Trill IS in the outback LOL.
ROFL MD. DH will take them swimming in it sometimes, and we have a canoe that we go out in. It is a huge dam and when it's full there is an island in the middle of it. When it's empty, if you stand at the very bottom, it is 8mtres from the bottom, to the top of the bank, so there is about 6mtres of depth when it's full. I hate swimming in dams though and I don't encourage the kids to do it either. But since we've had the pool up we've not had to worry about using it.
LMAO whoops, I always think of the outback as the Northern Territory! The dam sounds like fun, with the canoe and all lol how cute.
MD:
9.04am on ABC1 (ch102 to Austar) ... too busy on Playhouse Disney. Though I used to watch in high school!
The surgeon sent me home the day after I had my gallbladder out (then they expected me to return to full time work a week later)
Rainy:
Figured I would try Jack in Alex's old toddler bed, still in Alex's room ATM. They jumped from bed to bed, & ran around like nuts for hours. Then they would lie down together in Alex's single bed.
Hayley:
I have often thought about surf classes as I know somewhere has little nippers. I mite look into it for next season though. You are correct. They are becoming real water lovers & OMG Jack, he loves sitting in the waves & have them break over him. I am amazed just how quickly the adjusted. I guess going every week to the water & constantly, it helps.
I look at the mess & I'm like, are they having fun together, yes, ah stuff it. I don't see the point in ruining their fun as its not all the time they play like that.
Katie:
Aww, congrats. Hope the pg goes well for you. :dance:
I get a phone call this evening ... my ex is coming down for a "talk" on Sat morning, mind you things haven't been the best between us the last few weeks (we had a fight over the difference of information he tells me, & then he tells other people diff stories each & all I wanted to do was clarify the stories I was told). So he hasn't been speaking to me. But thats okay, have been w8n for this "talk". But he tells me he has invited his mother down to my house to see the boys, to my house. Apparently we are going for a drive to have this "talk". But he invited her to my house without discussing it with me. Now this place isn't presentable :( & half of my furniture is moved as tracey is supposed to be doing work on the roof on Friday but she has cancelled that so I can concentrating on making my house "visitor" friendly. O did i mention I have to put his mother up overnight. & provide dinner, & cook it. Sorry, I'm not impressed with this whole issue. He knows it too. I'm one that likes notice. Part of my "organising" side of me. Grrr. But, I will have some clarification on some issues after this "talk". But I am wondering if it is worth it. My two week headache has flaired up again ... i'm off to start cleaning ...:redface:
take care ladies
Andie - Oh no I'm one for notice as well, besides the MIL should keep her distance, surely she knows that he is coming down to attempt to patch things up? MIL's are sometimes so clueless. I hope she doesnt want to put in her 2 cents worth. Dont worry about the house, as for dinner, do something simple. Pasta bake, bbq, chicken cutlets & salad etc. I hope your talk goes well & you can sort things out, let us know how you go.
Well M has a new thing that she started doing today, and has been doing for the whole of today lol. Everytime she drops something etc, she starts rabbiting on "uh oh, uh oh, uh oh" & it goes on and onnnn hehe. Its SO CUTE! Anyway sitting her before & shes in bed now, then I hear the dummy crashing to the floor beneath her cot & sure enough, "uh oh, uh oh, uh oh......" TOO CUTE!!
MM L is obsessed with Uh Oh, it was cute at the start lol. He does it when he is naughty too, he puts things under the fridge but says Uh Oh before he shoves them under there LMAO. Arent they cheeky.
Hayley .. he invited her & i don't think he wld hve told her. Apparently we are going for a drive for this talk but I think he forgets we are on 25acres. Will let you's know thouth. You ladies have been gr8 & very supportive.
Jack has the whole "uh oh" thing down too. Tho ATM his fav words are "nite nite"
Lol Oz thats too funny what a cheeky monkey!
Andie - Maybe he has invited her for support, but still!!
"Congratulations katie!!!!!!!! I'm so excited for you. ( I did wonder when you made the icypole comment.;) )
I must have missed Arte's announcement too... Congratulations Arte!!!!!!
I've just spent ages reading through the past few pages, and I'm sorry, but i think i may have forgotten a chunk.
Md - good luck for Friday. I hope your ready for some valentine's day action on the weekend. Hehe.
rainy - I really feel for you at the moment. i get upset watching the news and reading the papers, I can only imagine how much worse it is for you being so close to everything - and i know that you have such empathy for other people and animals, and you really take it deep into your heart - that's what makes you so special. You need to vent your feelings as well , so you know that this is the perfect place. (and we won't tell J when you've been ratting on him hehe)
Did you see the video footage of the firefighter giving the Koala a drink of water? So gorgeous, and made me cry.
the girls' school is having a red clothes day on Friday for a gold coin donation. One of the Dad's is organising some transport to take donated items down to Vic as well. Might buy some basics like soap and toothpaste etc. Apparently there is a township called St Andrews' , and the girls school is St Andrew's, so they're hoping that we can form some kind of friendship in order to help the survivors recover.
mm - i didn't watch Find my Family - i had my mum and sister over and didn't want to be a blubbering mess in front of them.
Some of you on facebook have noticed my comment about Hannah....climbing the blasted ladder on the girls' bunk beds. She can get right to the top!! I'm sure she'll be climbing out of the cot like Jack very soon.
Hannah's favourite word at the moment is "MUM". She yells it out loud, even if i'm right in front of her. it's like....."MUM! MUM! MUMMEEEEEE!
Aren't they so precious. :)
hi girls!
Andie: that sounds like it's going to be a pretty intense time with your ex and mil. but as you said, hopefully it will provide some clarification. i am with MM on this one: keep the food simple! being in an italian household it would be pasta all the way! LOL!
Oz: PP is also due (i think just before Noni???). so there is Arte, Noni, PP, YOU!, Rainy and Ange...man not many left! LOL!
Jaz: i love hearing all the words these bubbas are saying! It is so awesome! although leila has learnt to yell incessantly lately so that's not so nice :rolleyes:
MM: the 'uh oh' is fantastic huh??!!! Leila now drops things delibrately just so she can say it! LOL! i especially love it when she 'accidently' drops dolly...
Sherie: i never really liked swimming in dams either. all the other kids would be off on the makeshift boats in the middle and i would be on the edge in the goopy mud getting nipped by yabbies LOL! i guess for me i just didnt like not knowing what was in the water, and i always had this fear that i would bump into a drowned cow....man i was a bizarre child LOL!
AFM: all ok here. i think that yet again the penicilan has failed me. the tonsilitis appears to not want to budge. i still have a week of ABs but it's not looking great. on the upside, DH is feeling better, but is still hobbling around like an old man and checking his temp every 15 minutes...:rolleyes:
Leila is awesome and going through a really cuddly phase ATM. we are all being drowned in her hugs and sloppy kisses. too cute!
Jaz H sounds like a cheeky monkey lol, actually all our babies do.
Clare is your DH really bad with man flu too??? LMAO I wondered when PP was due, wow seems like there might be a baby every month. Cuddles are great aren't they, Logan has always been very affectionate.
I guess I am going to have to start thinking about getting a big boy bed and moving rooms soon, I will have to get a new car seat too. So much to think about lol. Off to the Big W sale this morning, see what Mat clothes I can pick up and some winter stuff for L.
jaz- thank you, st andrews is the most beautiful little town. they have a big market every saturday morning and everyone turns up- lots of hippies sit up on the hill playing drums and dancing. in the arvo everyone ends up at the pub across the road. everyone is so friendly and relaxed. i've bought lots of clothes from there and organic fruit and veggies, and they have the best falaffel rolls with tabouli and hommus. i'm sure they would appreciate all your help. there's not many people there- i think about 150? and 20 of them have died.
JazMum ... Ooh on bunk ladder. I was watching Jack climb the stock gate the other day & his feet where to levels from the top. I'm sure he was thinking how he is going to get over the blastered thing.
Clare: Thanks. I thinking snags & a bag of frozen vegies thrown in the microwave.
sorry to hear the tonsilitis is hanging around. Hope it improves in the near future for you.
Not long got home from dropping the boys off at d/c. Alex didn't want to get out of the car (I think he is very confused not going to the other carer's anymore) but Jack, he couldn't wait to get out of the car, trying before I could undo the carseat. Well I'm off for some serious cleaning (as tmorrow morn is out with Alex's ADHD app't) ... wish me luck, strength & energy, lots of it! haha
