Well another thread and in typical me style I am a late arrival!

I don't really have too much to say today, just off to pick up take away pizza for dinner. Yum yum no weight loss for me!

Morning all.

October - scary huh! Christmas decorations are in the shops eeek!

Thanks Kirsty - I had a doc appt yesterday and I actually cancelled it. I know it is just stress and really didn't want to pay someone to tell me something I already know! Had a big chat with one of my closest friends the other night - sucks because the handful of close close fiends I have geographically aren't close *sigh* and phone calls are hard when you have a manic toddler. She put things into perspective and I am feeling a whole lot better bout myself and the roles I take on - which I am learning is far too many for just lil old me! I have relinquished some control - which is ubEr hard for me to do - and said yes to offers of help REPEAT TO SELF I am not super woman I am not supper woman - I would like to be but I am not super woman. So come Tuesday I have four lovely ladies - childless cause school will be back in and I don't need more litlle ones under foot - coming to lend a hand! Fingers crossed my ocd doesn't get the better of me and I don't lose the plot when they put the 'wrong' things together in boxes. Oh and we have a settlement date finally 25th of this month. Boys are enrolled in Kindergym and swimming lessons and waiting to hear back about what day playgroup is.

*uses best mother voice and shakes pointed finger* you are not leaving him to sleep on the bed and lounge now are you?! Things happen so quickly - not crawling to crawling happens in the blink of an eye - trust me lol Archer is everywhere and into everything!!! Keep up the good work Will!

Elliot still going great guns Shona? A finally did a no.2 so I think that made it 6 days all up and yes solids make nappy changes a whole lot more interesting HAHA I remember with Coop I had a full on panic attack and took him to the ED because I thought he had blood in his stools turned out to be the dragon fruit I had forgotten he had LOL Have you decided on a pump yet?

How is Taz Samara? Sleeps improving yet?

Best be off - planning on hitting the beach this morning the weather is prime! Enjoy your weekend mamas!

Good on you for getting ppl to help just enjoy the help and dont stress too much. it wont be packed for long and when you unpack it you can put it in it's own place

Yeh i know i've seen with archer how quick they do things but im lucky in the sense that we only have four (five including bathroom) rooms in our house...lounge, bedroom/computer room, william's room and kitchen. so usually when he is sleeping i'm either right beside him on the bed or couch or i'm either watching tv or on the computer in the same room he is in. So i'm not really too worried. plus i've grown up with every kid my mum babysat always sleeping just on her bed and not one of them have ever fallen off. So im not fussed

Elliot still going great guns Shona? A finally did a no.2 so I think that made it 6 days all up and yes solids make nappy changes a whole lot more interesting HAHA I remember with Coop I had a full on panic attack and took him to the ED because I thought he had blood in his stools turned out to be the dragon fruit I had forgotten he had LOL

lol! yes their poo is the same as how it went in!! William had mashed sweet potato and stewed & diced pear yesterday. haha i swear the next three nappies i coulda reused the food haha!! the smell wasn't very nice tho!
*side note* William loves pear and shortbread biscuit. He has decided to chuck a tantrum when he drops it, mummy 'takes it off him' (mind you this is me picking it off his face and giving it back to him) or when it is finished! oooo oh what have i created! haha.

Best be off - planning on hitting the beach this morning the weather is prime! Enjoy your weekend mamas!

So how did that beach trip pan out? :P
I'm over this rainy weather also. bring back summer! and cant do any washing! argh i have so many dirty clothes!!

Evening ladies

I hope you are having a great weekend, Tan i hope the weather stayed good for the beach as it has been rainy all day here. I think we are going to go to the museum tomorrow if it is fine as DD really needs to get out and about after our week of housebound. Taz and i have been sick with the cold and i have not had any sleep so it has been a boring week for DD.

Tan good on your for accepting help, it is sometimes a hard thing to do. I am like you and hardly ever ask for help but now i think of it like if someone else needed help i would be the first to be there. What goes around comes around.

Xmas decorations, i cant believe it my MIL works for IGA and she told me they have just placed there orders for easter. I guess xmas will be here before we know it.

I tried Taz on a couple of solids just ever now and then, he is so not ready. He is interested in watching and his little mouth goes but he just does not have it, which is fine by me for now.

Anyway definitely not weight loss here either after DP got a new BBQ for his b,day and tested it out with a yummy roast tonight followed by apple crumble so full.

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend.

About 3 minutes after I posted that it clouded over and got hella windy than another 10 minutes and we hit a torrential downpours! Hasn't stopped since *doh* we went and had cake downtown instead! YUMMO!

Apparently it was the hottest and wettest September for us up here since the late 1800s?! And they are thinking the cyclone season could start as early as next week - or so the paper said yesterday - seems we picked a great time to move down south!

Hope you guys are on the mend soon! Change of season has hit a lot of people I know real bad! Easter stock YIKES! A isn't ready for soldis either I don't think, is curious but just doesn't have the correct motions happening and like you I couldn't be happier lol too much effort for now!

Off to watch the footy at my folks - actually I am going to eat all the seafood they have than probabbly use their computer lol care factor for football is about a 5 outa 100 !!! weight loss is at a stand still here too! I heart food way too much but wayne is pushing to get married - I thought the bride to be was supposed to do that not the groom to be haha - so maybe I will think about getting into shape again once we move. a lot of things to do once we move it seems lol

Alrightie must try get everyone into the car without getting saturated! bfn

I am following everyones posts but we are busy, bust busy. Camping last night on a friends property, DH got blazing drunk and was too busy vomiting this morning to get the tent down, grrrr. He is in the bad books, although I still found the heart to give him an anti sickness injection when we got home. It was more so I could stick as rather large needle in his butt cheek than anything! Elliot has been hard work today, refused to go to bed, fell asleep on my knee at 9pm. Let's see what tonight brings. Enjoy the rest of the long weekend ladies

[Tan2705]

Your updates on fb are hilarious Shona! No long weekend here in qld - not that it makes a difference to me! Enjoy punishing your hubby!
