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?
I honestly cant believe that its Rebeccas Birthday today...this year has flown by. And to think i was already utd when Olivia was this age!! Better get a move on hey! We are having Becs party this Sunday and with all the warm weather we have been having, its forecast to be raining!!! Luckily we have decking and tarps!!!
We had the draftsman over last night to look at the house again. So exciting! This house is going to be huge, from a 2 bedroom and study to 4 bedroom study and rumpus....just means lots more cleaning! However our bedroom is going to be much bigger, like a parents retreat So excited. So we just have to get the plans right, then price it up and take it to the bank....hopefully they will give us more $$....that will be the only stumbling block!!
Happy Birthday Becca!!!! How exciting!! Looking forward to catching up on Sunday - we have a couple of other things on that day as well but will drop in for an hour or so in the arvo!!
How exciting extending your home - that is fantastic!!! You won't know yourself in a bigger home!!!! We love it here and it's not even that big! LOL!
Good on you for starting your running Mel - you sound very motivated - its nice when the weathers a bit warmer in the morning as well!
Kel - Sounds like you had a great time at the beach!!! The extra $$ will come in handy this time of the year that's for sure - I have quite a few laybys at the moment that I need to pick up - god knows how we're going to find the money for it all but I'm sure we'll manage!!
As for us...I've got a cold and the kids are still sniffly but are on the mend...we had a great weekend down at Phillip Island although the kids slept atrociously!!!!! We haven't had so little sleep for a looonngg time and we both found it hard to find any energy. The boys saw the pelicans being fed and we went searching in rock pools, went to the nobbies and saw some little fairy penguins and a playground. The water was a bit fresh for them to properly swim though - especially with their sniffles but we had a really great time!!
Jen - I hope you're ok???? Please jump on and let us know how you're going!!!
Dis - Hope you're well also!!
Ok...chat later - I'm trying not to spend as much time on the computer (and as per usual I'm failing dismally...LOL)
How are you all?? We are doing well. I have just had the second night of Liam sleeping for 10 hours straight without a wake up call through the night! Unfortunately Lil still wakes, but the night before last it was only once at 1am, and last night DH dealt with her, so for me that was 7hours straight sleep, wooooohooooo!!!!!!!! Even though we were up at 5am, I feel like a new woman! I feel almost normal Almost.... lol!
Kris, hope you're feeling better and that your kids are sleeping normally again!
I'm trying to not spend so much time online too. It helps that my computer is having regular heart attacks for some reason and just refuses to connect to the net. O therwise I would most likely be failing dismally too. But I get sooo much more done when not online. My house is actually fairly tidy. I come home last night and thought, 'Oooh, the place is clean I can relax instead of clean'. It also helped the kids had been at childcare half the day and then we went to mums for dinner!
Mel, yay @ the extensions! I so can't wait til we have a house. I hate living in our little bed unit.
I know what you mean about feeling motivation in other aspects of life too from exercising. It's amazing how it works! I feel the same. I haven't exercised for the past 3 days cause DH has been working and today I feel pretty unmotivated, even though I had a great night sleep! But I will go for a walk if DH ever gets out of bed....when you get up at 5am, having DH sleep til 8am (or later) feels like FOREVER!
Anyway better go and do something like folding or vacuuming. Hey maybe if I vasuume, DH will get his arse out of bed?? Is that nasty??????? lol
Hi girls, I haven't been on here in ages! I've just been so busy with my new business, I haven't had much time to myself. Add to that a baby that really, really doesn't like sleep and I often feel like a chook with my head cut off!!!!
Does anyone have Jen's phone number or anything, I'm getting kinda worried about her...Or maybe she's had bubs??!! Does anyone know when she was actually due?
Jen....JEN....where for art thou Jen!! Hope all is well babe
I'm feeling ****ty, got a chest and ear infection. But the kids are really good. So precious! We're having a good week except that I'm sick
Ok thats it for now, I'm going to bed...nighty night!
Just a quick one from me as well to say hi!! Haven't been posting much - got my new computer and have a new email address so have to change all my subscriptions - Soooo annoying - worse than changing home address (or maybe I just shouldn't spend so much time on the computer! LOL!)
All good here - boys are well - we're very excited for xmas! Ethans walking now! Louis and Dylan are good...although very cheeky of course!!
Gosh...seems a bit of a worry that Jen hasn't been on for so long - I hope everythings ok...
Kel - Sorry to hear you're not feeling well - hope you pick up soon! xo
Disgirl - That's great your busy with work!! Sorry to hear bubs isn't sleeping much...
Mel - So proud of you and all your running - that's so fantastic!!
