Just wanted to let you all know I am around, just not posting much at the mo. I have been working extra hours and also trying to limit the time I am online. It was getting a bit much there for a while! I was going to post yesterday but I had a migrane until this arvo. It is begining to subside now, thank goodness. It has been a long time since I've had any headaches let alone a migraine, not since before I had Liam.
Just wanted to let you all know I am ok, and I am keeping up with posts, just not posting much. Will try to get up to date soon, I promise It's witching hour here now and DH is going to work in about 30mins so I will have to pull my finger out! Bye!!
Hello all. Hows things? Just a quick one from me...I am alone again this long weekend. DH is on a 4wd trip....which started in tears from me, oohhh gggrr. I am trying to put across the point that with all this extra curricular activity dh has, he is the one missing out on the girls growing up and its really not giving me any chance to take up a hobby. Thats my issue. However I am coping well with him being away this time. Bec is about to cut a tooth but so far hasnt been sick. She has woken up snotty though. Olivia is fine, she got bitten on the pointer finger yesterday by something and her finger was red and swolen and streaking. I rang nurse on call...they are so good, not to mention saving time and money to see the gp who would probably prescribe abs!
Me-af arrived, so obviously not utd this month. Will skip next month as eed would clash with loads of birthdays, then try after that. So ther will be a little biger age gap...not too much though. I am on a raw food detox during the day, just for a few days, to make me regular, clear up my skin and just make me feel better. I have ordered some herbs from Lulu as I got talking to her about stuff and she has this business called essence of balance. I am a bit skeptical about stuff like this but I am just at a point where I am stuck and willing to give anything a go within reason. Hopefully will start them at the end of the week. I have booked both girls in to day care for 5 hours tomorrow. Usually Bec is with me on Mondays, however I thought it would be good to give the house a good scrub and go through the cupboards again and do filing! House is clean though just dusting.
Oh my gosh...I am rambling...can you tell I dont have adults to talk to !!! Have a great Sunday
Kris- I was thinking about your bub....is it a boy or girl....well I remember when all that happend and you had said you had an ooppsie and then a few days later you had your pap smear and the dr said you were or about to ovulate. I cant remember the days but I am thinking if you dtd and a few days later were or about to o, then quite possibly its a girl...my theory. The other thing is...what can I get Ethan for his birthday. I am so bad at buying stuff for boys! Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday...do you need any help?
Just a quick one from me...all the boys are outside and Ethans getting into so much mischief (such as climbing onto the trampoline all by himself!!!!)
Mel - I'm so glad you can make it on Saturday!! Don't stress about a present - I didn't even know what to get him - LOL!!! He's only getting a few things from us...It's hard when they're at this age and not really into anything...
As for Becca, I'm sure you'll find some stuff - just browse around the toy section and something will pop out!!! We're getting Ethan a little ride on bike for indoors only (we've got outside ones already) we got one of those outside play gym things - the chunky plastic ones...just second hand, a little toy that you press buttons and stuff pops out the top and a spinning top!! Poor neglected third child that he is!! LOL!
As for your girl theory, that's what I'm thinking as well Mel, but knowing how easily we've had boys I'm still thinking it will probably be one...who knows!! Only one more sleep until we find out! Also, we could see Ethans doody at 12w but couldn't see anything for this bubba and he had a good look cos I asked!! LOL! Still, you never know!! I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep tonight!!! I just hope bubba is all healthy because it's been very quiet....not much kicking going on at all yet!!!
You poor thing having another weekend on your own! It's amazing what you can get used to though when you have too! It's tough though - I completely understand - I was a mess by the time Michaels busy month was over!!! Might be nice to plan some family time...it always brings us back to normal when we've had a day together just as a family...
Hi to everyone else!! Hope you're all well!
Hey Mel - are your girls in family day care??? I've been looking into it as an option to run from home after Louis goes to school. Would fit right in to my lifestyle here and I don't think we'd have to do TOO much to the house (apparently the government gives you $1500 towards it...) I will only be able to have 1 extra child at home through the day anyway so it won't be much of a stress...LOL ...might be a bit of extra money by the time comes - don't think it will really affect tax and you can claim that much stuff on paper I would never earn a thing!! LOL!
Sorry I have been MIA. Just not in the mood to post much at the moment. Have been having up and down days. A few down days actually, so I don't feel like doing much of anything!
I have had another friday and saturday night on my own. Over feeling so lonely. I had a meltdown again this morning, so DH took the kids out to buy a birthday gift for a bday we have to go to tomorrow arvo. I hate that it takes for me to meltdown like that before he gets that I'm stressed out. I just had a bath and slept for a while before they came home. I will be going back to the doctor next week to get a referral to a psycologist or something. Tried the eating well, exercise, witamins thing and although it might have helped a bit. it's not enough.
The kids are well (this week!) Lily has just gotten over another double ear infection. More antibiotics and ear drops. Poor baby. She's being very trying too. I think alot of the time she's bored. I try to do stuff with her, but she's wanting me to be with her all the itme and I just can't. Besides the fact that I can't because of my own state of mind, I can't because I have other things I have to do too. And Liam to look after as well. She's throwing tanties alot and screaming and whinging soooo much. I have smacked her a few times, although I am so so trying not to, but I just lose my patience and when I'm telling her not to push Liam for the 1000th time that day and it doesn't work....well I'm sure you guys know what I mean.
Liam is teething and is a bit coughy with a runny nose and the stinkiest poos ever! He also has a nappy rash I just can't get rid of no matter what I do. But he usually gets it when he's teething. (Seriously any doctor which says that teething doesn't cause kids to get sick is an idiot!) He's a menace too, into absolutely everything he can find. He's stuffed the computer a few times cause he climbs on the table and bashes the keyboard. I now have to put the dining table chairs into the kitchen which is gated off so he can't get them. Such a PITA! He's at the stage where he will pull everything out of drawers and cupboards too, so the kids room is constantly messy with clean clothes and nappies which they have pulled out of the drawers and cupboards. I've stopped going off a them and packing them away now. I leave it till they are in bed and go in then!
Trying to eat well and exercise, not only for my mental health, but I really need to lose weight too. I'm over being so fat. But because I am such an emotional eater, it is proving difficult to keep on track! The exercise is easy, going for a walk on my own is good me time, but the eating, well....lets just say I have just devoured a chocolate bar, and still haven't had lunch
Kris, I saw on FB that you're having another little man, congrats hun!! You're going to be the queen amongst a brood of princes!! And I love the name you've chosen too! I hope you're feeling well.
Jen, how are you doing? How's bubba? When are you due, mustn't be too long now?? How's the toilet training going? We've had a few hot days lately have you been letting him run naked?! I let mine go naked now. They do it themselves and I'm sick of dressing and redressing them. Even Liam has learnt to take off his pants and nappy. Lil helps him with his shirt....such a good big sister...
Mel, How are you and the girls?
Dis Mel, how are you doing the last time I remember you were haveing a tough week....
Kaz, haven't heard from you for a while, how's Pip?
Ok gotta go, Lil's going to the toilet on her own....that means toilet paper and tooth paste everywhere......
