Same old here. A big storm front passed through but we didn't get the predicted snowfall - only an inch or so. Soccer was cancelled today though and I am struggling with the cabin fever. Feels like we have been shut inside for weeks.
Cally - have you been enjoying (joy)riding out in your new car? Now that we have a new(ish) family car I also dream of having a new(ish) Marydean car... especially want one where you can plug your phone in and talk to it, Nightrider-Kit style. LOL. But really, I would settle for 4/5 doors and cupholders.
Cass - I bet you're still feeling relieved, but a weird mixed-up kind of relieved . I hope that all the results keep coming back promising, and your wee little poppet get some peace and respite from the episodes. Love to you all. xxx
Arte - so it's it all white and pretty at your place, then? What is your new house like during winter - have you got good heating & room to move inside? Have you had your exam yet (and how did it go in the end)? I got my last essay result and despite my misgivings I did ok, but it does cause me to wonder about the way the marks are assigned. The previous essay was objectively MUCH better than this last one and yet there were only a few points difference between the grades. Hmmm...
All good here. The birthday boy arrived home in the late afternoon so he was allowed to have presents and cake with us. I went out to tea last night with a group of mummies from Miss E's school - fantastic night, really glad that they are all sociable and friendly and inclusive . Not sure if I'll get any new besties but I don't feel quite so much that I'm floating along on my own iceberg, kwim?
ETA - Cally! Missed your post there... did YOU have a lovely birthday?? The day went by in a bit of blur here, but I think they both enjoyed it. Miss E had an excursion to the wildlife park that afternoon, then the excitement of double birthdays + daddy getting home... I let her sleep in the next day and she went to school late, but she's obviously still tired because she's been a rotter for the remainder of the week. Aiming for a quiet weekend here, it's (predictably) cloudy and raining after mid-week sunshine but I think some fresh air and open space could do us good even without the sunshine. That's very sad about your DH's colleague - but I'm sure all the support of people caring enough to do a fundraiser will do just as much good as the actual funds. I hope it's a nice night out.

Cally, Happy Birthday! I must have missed it. Glad you had a good day.
MD, exam is all over. I guess I did alright. I mostly remembered the essays I prepared. I am with you on the marking inconsistency. We were given a really open major assignment, just to summarise the course in any way we wanted - from a straight summary to a alien perspective to a scripted conversation etc. Then the only lecturer went to hospital and someone else marked them and not how we were led to believe would be acceptable. There is a minor uprising on the online forum lol.
This house is well insulated so retains the heat nicely but our heat pump doesn't work on the really cold days. But we have an oil heater running 24/7 so it is alright. The snow only lasted one morning and then got rained out.
Nice that you had a good night out. It makes a difference to have some friends, even if they are only casual ones.
hi girls,
ive been mia really busy but am having a home day today with the boys so thought i'd pop in and catch up. have been reading but just not posting!
cass- how is everything with E now? you had us all very worried little missy!!!
we have been busy busy. L is loving school and is making some great friends (and a new girlfriend, who you may have seen on fb). he is doing really well and is really happy. doing lots of early intervention with J. he has come along way, especially with his speech, but still has his moments. i also find that the older he is getting, the more apparent it is how different he is from his peers. i have enrolled him to start 4 yo kinder at a mainstream kinder next year, which if it goes well, will be totally huge! we are going to start him in the mainstream route, and just see how he goes/copes. we are not sure yet whether he will qualify for an aide.
we had an accident a few weeks ago, J pulled a fishtank over on top of himself and cut his lip so badly that he required plastic surgery. he has recovered really well, and hopefully will only have a small scar, but has just shown us again how much he has absolutely no sense of danger/no fear. i have no doubt that he will end up some sort of motocross rider or something!
one of our bunnies got out and was unfortunately killed so that has been really distressing for us. luckily, i was able to save 2 beautiful baby boy lops from a local breeder who has the rspca and the council on her back and was planning on freezing them and eating them last weekend. they are going well but are very messy!! and have been taking up lots of my time in cleaning up, handling them, and trying to bond them with our female rabbit. anyways, i guess thats about it. hope everyone is going well xox
Hey lovelies!! Its been sooo long. Sorry I've been mia things are crazy busy around here. I had an early miscarriage/chem pregnancy in Feb and then in May I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks. The last 6 weeks have been hard It happened during my busiest time at work and instead of stopping and taking some time for myself I just kept on going. L had his tonsils out last week, his recovery has been awesome though. Hopefully this means better sleep for him and a less cranky little boy. Work is crazy busy despite me promising myself I wouldn't take on so much...
I am off to try and read back through and catch up a little. Going to try and be a little more active in here!
