oh hello my lovelies!!!!

sorry to have been mia for a while. im sick again and feel miserable and have just been so so busy!

oooohhh natty- skype!!! i too wave furiously to be picked but feel a bit embarassed
i dont know why, just seems wierd! although i'd love love love to "meet" you girls!!! what a great idea- im in!
i agree with everyone else about not feeling guilty on whatever you choose to do. do what you want, think and need to do. I feel terrible when we opened our cafe when tully was 5 months old, of course i worked there, had my mum sit there almost all day with him, i worked, fed, worked, fed ect....meanwhile mum sat, did a few dishes, sat, walked him around the streets in the pram..... but i know we did it for him. for his future. and now we are doing well enough to support him. it is whatever you need to do missy. boy! have i missed your hilarious posts since youve been sans laptop! xox oh, and miss v is so super adorable!!!! well done too on the weight loss, ive been terrible lately, but am so disgusted in myself today at tullys swimming- urgh me in swimmers- yuck- that im making my self get back on the bandwagon. and i know too how you feel with not having a moment to yourself with v- harper is the same. fine with me, handed to dh, cries-back to me- fine. as horrible as it may seem- i'd actually love a day to my self- no kids, to just do stuff i'd like- by myself.x

mel- i hope youre feeling better. so so so hard being sick with kiddies. i suffer terrible migranes *touches wood* and i havent had a big one since before tully, and a friend of mine with a ds the same age as tully is 12 weeks pregnant gets them so so so bad. i dont know how she copes, i know i couldnt. Well done to you too on the walking and gym!! i just need to stop stuffing my big fat face and move a bit more and i hope a bit will drop off. I too would love to skype with you and your gorgeous kiddies- seeing as kelti and eden are an almost identical gap as my poppets!

snowy- wooo hooo mr I!!! TWO toothy pegs???? what a champ! i hope he is a happy little camper. how has he been teething? harper has been chewing madly on anything for ages but i dont know how soon it will be. i have been able to see a tooth since very early on on her bottom gum, close too, but she seems to want to chew hard, like really hard way up the back like where molars are supposted to be! i have no idea! and good on you for trying to work with the kiddies. i try but it just never happens, so its midnight sewing for me!

oh ali- i hope amelia doesnt get gastro. oh god its hard with a little one. tully had it a few times within a few months and gee does your washing machine get a workout...its so hard to see your bubba sick.
freakin IL's huh....its a tough place to be stuck between dh and them huh. especially when amelia is the reason. we have friends who own a pizza restaurant a few doors up from our cafe and they do great pizza. oh, and fab gluten free too!! you have to go there when you come over here to visit!!!!!!!!!!

kymmy- how do you loose 500g and eat creme eggs??? i look at them and tub it on. dont you lose anymore gorgeous girl, you are fabulous! and master archie! gosh is he delicious! gee you two make beautiful babies!

oh my telly- rockin already! that son in law of mine! he's itching to crawl down here to my harper wow! it goes too fast huh. i want my babies to stay babies a lot longer too. even my bubba boy tully, who now sleeps well in a big bed, understands so so much and feels like yesterday that he was born is a big boy. oh im a little sad about it all. Hows your ww going? i officially suck at it. i feel horrible about my self but it still doesnt motivate me. how have you done it??? youve done so well! i say im going to stick to it and last a month

ubb- well done missy! HD's?? three gorgeous kiddies AND cuteclippies??? super mumma alert! good on you. im so so happy for you! i told loads of my fb friends to like you and i think quite a few did!!!! i hope it goes really well for you! x

suz- hope craig is feeling ok and ryan pops a tooth soon poor bubbas. it must be terrible, teething. im glad we dont remember what it was like. i just wish we could make it better. and yay for you on the weight loss this week too! well done! you girls are so good. i just love food too much. thats my trouble. born to be a chef i guess. i hope your photo shoot went ahead. im sure it will be gorgeous x

hey alicia, billy, mon and anyone else ive terribly forgotten

so, for me,
Harper is improving. they decided it was bronciolitis. nothing we could do. just ride it out. terrible when you dont know what to do when she is coughing her lungs up. as long as she was feeding and having wet nappies, all will be fine. gotta love great dr's as regular customers. she too has been really clingy lately. i feel like i dont even pee all day sometimes, let alone get anything done- ie housework, then doing stuff i want to totally goes out the window. its hard with tully too. lately he has been a right turd when i try to do stuff with him, i give in and turn the farkin tv on. i had a bit of a terrible mummy breakdown this week, realising that he jsut watches way way too much tv. how do you girls with more that one kiddie do it?? what can i do with a nearing the terrible twos 21 month old? god its hard....oh poor me.....*slaps herself in the face* sarah, there are plenty of people in the world worse off than you, silly cow
any hoo
so ive got this darn cold back, i think im a bit run down, stressed and tired. we are having more staff issues at the cafe....i feel like i have been a single mum lately too. dh is so tired coz man have we been busy. we must do something right to be this busy, 80 dozen eggs, 220 litres of milk, 22 kg coffee, oh and thats just one week...... not bad for a little country town huh?
and so we have been putting tully to bed at 6- same time as his usual 7 i guess, with daylight savings changed now, and dh doesnt get home till after 6. so then we eat, he has wine-sometimes more than i like and we bicker over stupid things, and he's asleep on the couch at 9. so i have a few hours of adult conversation a day. god, no wonder im blabbing on so much here. lucky you guys love me
anyway, registered new business name!!!!! opened business bank account!!!! see lease tomorrow!!!!!! oh dear...what am i doing??? am i mad??? no way! im so excited!
so have decided to go more down the kiddies and mummas route. make a fair bit of stuff myself, and source locally, hand made and vintage stuff too! woot! ill keep you all posted. man, its gunna be so cute! can't wait to show you all photos!
anyway, better go, have more planning to do!!! oh and i'd love any input from you gorgeous mummas on things you'd buy! thanks girls
love you all heaps,
x madame x
