Hi all - sorry I am also mia most of the time these days! I do log on to see how everyone is but its hard to find the time to post properly..
G - how did the hearing test go?
Trill - bet you can't wait for it all to be over...
Md - love that recipe - may have to whip some up with the boys soon - just got my oven serviced today
Cass - thanks for missing me!
Cally - amazing you made it this far without a gastro bug...lots going around ATM, I am glad we have bern spared so far
All is well with me. We are off to syd this weekend for my aunts bday. I hope j sleeps ok - he is a nightmare at the moment and we are beyond exhausted!
Arte - am so glad e is a sleeper!
I just finished enrolling for uni next year. Yay!
We are selling our house in Canberra (auction later this month) so will prob go up for the day - have to rush back as bil bday that night... Bit ofna bummer as I would have liked to staymlonger and catch up w people.
hearing test went 'as bad as it could be'- those are the audiologist's words, not mine. apparently he is so blocked up with fluid that he can hardly hear. feel so bad. i feel like he's basically missed a whole year of kinder not understanding anything oh and to make matters worse, we might not be able to fly to sydney on tuesday.
We tend to have a bit of fungus here from time to time, H had a bad one on her leg last year. Treated it by slathering on thick layer of canesten last thing at night - don't rub it in, but cover it with gladwrap or a non absorbent plastic-type dressing. In the morning take the plastic off, most of it will have absorbed over night. H's was quite bad but visibly better after a few days and gone completely in 10 days.
It will probably take a day or so to start looking better G. I used canesten on it at first but it didn't really respond - it looked like it was getting better then it got a bit worse again so we switched to Lamasil and it worked a treat. You just need to cover it with some gauze and tape it on or use an elastoplast bandaid that you can cut wide to fit over it. You will need to wash linen and towels everyday too.
ETA - he really loves his 'DS' LOL but he hasn't quite got the hang of it yet. I'm sure he'll be right into it in no time though.
trillian - which type of food colouring did you recommend that i use for the rainbow cake? i've told DH that he needs to make Abigail's cake if i am in hospital for her birthday, but i want to have all of the ingredients ready to go so that at least it's as easy for him as possible (or else he'll never agree to help with birthday cakes again!!)...
G: I know that mum used Canestan when she had it . wow, i didnt realise that it required so much work!
Ella: wow, your DH is brave for getting into the cake making! mine would blanche and pass out at the very idea hahahaha!
Trillian: aw man! i think i missed celebrating Mr A's Big Boy Birthday!!!! but i do wish him a happy birthday and a brilliant year ahead!! Can you believe that it's only one more year before they start Big School??!!!!
AFM: well, on the school note, we did a tour of the local public primary as we will be away all next year so wanted to get in and have a look and let the principal know that we are interested (it's a *very* tiny public school and places are competitive). can i just say though that it was FABULOUS! school has changed alot since i went lol! there is alot more 'free learning' mixed in with the structure and there is a BIG emphasis on learning outdoors (so each classroom has a covered wooden deck leading off etc). this school even has a rock band room where the kids can learn rock band music lessons hahahaha! i can just imagine leila going sick on the drumkit hahaha!
on a more boring front....I am STILL sick i have NFI what to do anymore. burst out crying at like midnight last night as i am just so physically spent IYKWIM. my whole body is aching and I can barely get from A to B. have booked in (again!) with the GP. but TBH i dont know what to ask . i guess i want him to now get in and investigate my immune system and see where all the weak points are...but can they even do that?
JM, that would feel terrible. Bet she is just jealous of your beautiful girls. Is she the one that can't have kids? I am sure it is only her issues and nothing to do with you. I know some of the ladies from the local activities have their own meet ups - at the house across the road from me.
Spew free today! Finally got a physio appointment but it took so long that the pain has settled to a discomfort now.
i'd still go and get it checked out Arte... so no cancelling appts ok?!
i know that some of the chicks from my MG meet up outside business hours. i *try* not to get my nose out of joint...thankfully i am so busy with being famous (hahahaha) that i tend to forget rather quickly...
but it totally totally sucks considering how pointed the exclusion is. nuttin' more than "behind the school shed scrags" JM!
Yeah, you're all right. If i was in Aus i wouldn't give a second thought to it. She is the only other expat here with children. A 3 year old and a 9 year old. But she is not really the kind of person i'd want to be friends with anyway. She treats the nationals as second rate and tells anyone who will listen how they are doing everything wrong. I don't even want to be her friend, but i wouldn't be actively nasty to her, this is such a small village we have here, it's just not worth it. The one without kids has been organising cards and not inviting me becasue, she told someonelese, "I would be too busy" Thanks for telling me how i must be!
But anyhoo, i'm over it now.
Off to a ball in Lae on Sat night, should be a bit of fun. It's the ball associated with the Lae Agricultural Show. I am going with my most beautiful accessory..... Miss P. At least in the close carrier, she hides my baby belly a bit!
Didn't make it to the chemist, but I don't think it's HFM (nothing on H or F). Tend to think more related to stress/cold of last week, combined with getting back into exercise so body a little bit rundown. My mouth kind of feels like I've been sucking on too many lollies - unfortunately without the fun part of tasting all those lollies!! MD, I have a salt water swish happening.
Cally - Yep now that i read it properlr i reckon stress, esp as the hand thing is a burn!! hope you get over it soon - have you thought about some immune boosting stuff?
I have had a tough few days. one of my friends passed away (from cancer) - she was only my age and it is just awful. i hadnt seen her for ages (she lived in syd, but we lived together overseas when we were 18 and were in touch - in fact i have an unfinished game of 'words with friends' on my phone with her) - but so haunting and awful.
I also did a kids first aid course last night. you should all do it if you havent.
oh and to make matters worse, we might not be able to fly to sydney on tuesday.
. wow, i didnt realise that it required so much work!
