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!
That must of been so so hard to lose those precious pregnancies xx And especially in your line of work. oooppphhaaa How has recovery been since your later loss at 11 weeks? I know that I was pretty wiped for quite a bit.
G: phew woman! you have me tired just reading about the hectic schedules lol. but i am loving your pics of the boys on FB. they are so rockstar it's cool.
MD: totally awesome that you have some friends to do the whole dinner and a chat thing with. my mothers group do it once a month and it has been a life-saver to just get and be adults and do the girly thing of laughing and catching up.
Arte: i saw all the snow on your FB looks cool...pardon the pun
Arte - I hope you went ok in the exam. That's crazy about the marking... a similar thing happened in my last subject (some kind of difference in marking the first assignment) and there was a minor uprising and they rescaled all the marks... in my case down. 2 points. Difference between distinction and credit LOL.
Ginger - Lovely to hear L is loving school. J sounds like he's going great guns - kindy will be an awesome achievement. The fishtank must've been so, so scary - glad he's ok now . Sorry to hear about your bunny. Your rescue buns have gone to a very good home.
Oz - Gosh what a tough time you've been having. I'm so sorry to hear you lost your little ones . I hope you are able to carve out some quiet time for yourself
I'm glad to hear L's recovery has been good - I'm sure you will start noticing the benefits very soon!
Cass, how are you all holding up, chickie?
Here: job application was a FAIL. Guess I'll have to save my plans for world domination for another time :P.
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... 
Take it easy on yourself xx
Hope L is feeling better now those tonsils are out.
looks cool...pardon the pun
