Beautiful and magical 2010 straight back at you Clare!!! xxx
How's everyone's Happy New Year going? Mine started with a 9.30 sleep-in...talk about maximum auspiciousness!!! LOL
Clare I meant to say I was with you all the way with your hairy floodwater drive story. I've been caught out trying to drive too far late at night in adverse weather (well DH always decides then conveniently falls asleep and leaves me to drive the last hair-raising stretch and I hate driving at night) and those truckies are the best...get behind a truck and stay there. :hug: Well done you.
Leanne, good to see you sweetie, how r things going with you?
Jazah, how are you going, it's been a big few weeks for you! Agree we should start calling MP Wonderpan! LOL
Cally - did you get the car? Brrmmmm beep beep??
Trill - Thank you for my lovely av, DH was very impressed with himself!
MP - we didn't get the car, someone bought it before the auction (was it you guys?). We were after a Mitsubishi 380, but DH said it had some quite bad scratches in the doors so he wasn't too concerned that we missed out on it. Fingers crossed another one pops up, apparently a lot of the cars were removed from the listings though, they must have forgotten it was NYE! I like the suggestion of Wonderpan!!
Mum and Dad's air conditioner is on the blink - luckily it's not really hot up here at the moment, but I think I will head out to the breezy deck after this and pop my feet into Miss K's pool!
Did everyone have a good NYE?? We went to my sister's where she cooked a beautiful meal and K and her cousin ran around like crazy babies. It was a very easy bedtime though. Tonight we are starting putting our feet down for the midnight wake ups, hopefully it only takes a couple of nights before she gets the hint.
I am hitting the sales tomorrow. Not after much, but certainly can't do a trip to Canberra without some shopping.
Eating - we are all over the shop here. Today for lunch Miss K had half a small roll with cream cheese, a bit of left over minute steak, capsicum, cheese and some smoothy. They DH made himself some ham salad rolls and she helped herself to half of that! And last night she just didn't stop with the chicken my sister made, have never seen her eat that much meat in one sitting. However tomorrow we could very well be back to the girl who just wants biccies and a small tub of yogurt......
The fence will be great. DD got a wheelbarrow, garden tools, mop and broom so she will be able to keep herself entertained for hours out there.
Time to head outside with my cool drink.
Hi girls!
hope that everyone had a marvelous time for NYE!
Sherie: unfortunately the trip through floodwaters was on the way back to melbourne...so totally missed any chance to meet up with you...:( (DH reckons we need to plan another road trip so we can organise to meet up!!!)
MD: we must share similar DHs...it seems that whenever i get behind the wheel of the car on a road trip we get some kind of natural disaster happening lol! it's actually been a running joke for the last few years!
Cally: sounds like it wasnt too bad missing out on the car in the end. getting scratches fixed can be a real PITA.
AFM: well we had a FUN NYE! we headed to Yarra Park by the MCG for the fireworks at 9pm. got hit by a thunderstorm! was so fun! although the lightening was of some concern when the rain let rip it was gorgeous big PHAT drops that just soaked you through and everyone was laughing and running here and there. prior to the rain we also had two firetrucks turn up and they let some of the kids in the cabin (including Leila!) and then they doused everyone with water which was a welcome relief after the scorcher day we had.
Hey Girls,
Clare- OMG I've totally missed your news Congratulations being PG and I'm so happy for you:dance:
MD- All good here ATM touch wood... How are you going?
Cally- Have fun at the sales today and hope you nab some bargins
Well NYE was fun we just went to my cousins around the corner and had a street party, the kids had a ball they rode there scooters all night. Now just getting things back to normal well what ever normal is. Was just telling DH last night that babies are growing up so fast.... the boys will be 5 and Livi will be 3 where has the time gone.
Eating- Livi eats most things although her fav treat is chocolate lol
Well
Happy New Year to all of my lovely Baby Buddies and their families!!!! :)
2010 wow. I remember my friends and I would all wonder at what we'd be doing in the year 2000!!! We'd all say " oh my gosh!! we'll be 30!!!!!!! Now we're at 2010 already. I can't believe how fast life is going. My goal for this year, is to try and make every moment count. I spend too much time doing menial things, when i should be creating beautiful memories for myself and my family. (menial things do need to be done - but i need to prioritise ;) )
So, i'm going to log off now and go and read my book while Hannah is asleep, and J and Z are enjoying a ride on the jetski with their daddy.
have a good night everyone.
Jaz- Enjoy your mumma time.
Jazah - I know!! I've been so wrapped up in my own little world this year it didn't even occur to me until about 8.30 pm on NYE that we were staring down the barrel of a new decade!! Like you I can remember sitting around on the wooden benches at school speculating about what we would be doing in the year 2000...I can't even believe it's TEN years later :o. I'm gonna do that thread about what you've done in the last ten years, it has slipped past very fast.
I think you've hit the nail on the head with creating qual time with your family - yeah the other stuff matters but it's not the most important thing. I haven't made any NY resolutions this year...I need to rehab myself in areas right across my life - from cleaning the house through to getting a job and having a social life - but you can bet your bottom dollar I am a changed woman when it comes to assigning priorities.
Wow Leanne I can hardly believe your boys are going to be 5! That's a mindbender LOL. I must be getting better because I'm starting to feel impatient - impatient for the fluid to go away, for the swelling to go down, for Nooboob to soften, to have no pain anymore. I keep looking for that time machine my surgeon talks about but there are *none* anywhere, not even eBay :lol:.
PS Everyone...make sure you join my new group on FB...and invite all your friends :D!
HI girls!
Leanne: thanks babe! it has been a whirlwind time of year so easily missed...also makes it hard trying to book into drs and hospitals!
JaZaH: ohhh me too! i remember all us kidlets sitting around our lunchboxes imagining us living on the moon in 2000 ha ha!
how did mumma time go? did the kids have fun on the jetski? i remember always feeling a fine line between exhilaration and fear LOL! i was a scaredy cat though!
MD: oh is that your group?! i saw it...will have to join! i do like the concept have to say!
AFM: all good here. hormones are through the roof though so go from being happy as larry to crying into the jasmine bush because i am tired and hungry...all very dramatic lol!
Leila has been just a treasure lately. she has bloomed incredibly with my Mum around and is just a joy to be with. her talking is just taking off and thankfully appears to be with both languages without too much trouble...big relief so far i must say!
It is scary to think a new decade has started!
The IL's visit went really well. A is such a social bub she didn't mind them holding her at all and W was pleased to have people to help search for bugs.
He has been better going outside in the wind the past few weeks. I didn't click until yesterday, but it was at the same time he got a new bucket hat rather than a cap - he was hunting for it yesterday and when he found it and put it on he said "this hat will stop the wind going in William's ears". So the whole time it has been because of his ears.
Night times are still a problem - he is staying up until 9.30-10ish atm because we couldn't be bothered with the tanties. Last night he came out a couple of times and DH threatened to close the door so he said "Sorry for coming out, William will be a good boy now and go to sleep". Cute.
His speech has taken another leap, he refers to himself as 'I' rather than 'you' most of the time now and the sentences are getting longer and longer.
Clare, how is the morning sickness going? Did you have it long with L?
Has Kate been around? Hope everything is o.k.
hey everyone,
hope you all had a geat nye and are enjoying 2010 so far! it is strange it being 2010 time certainly is flying by!
had a pretty good nye, mum looked after the kids so we could go out.. DH got a bit drunk tho and spilt beer on me a few times which made me pretty annoyed.. all in all it was good tho.
DH is back to wok today so back to reality for us.. im still having alot of trouble getting things done.. the house got to a really bad place and dh had to pretty much spend his entire holidays fixing it :( i just feel so tired and crappy all the time and rediculously un motivated.. ive been trying really hard tho.. ive written up like a meal plan on the fridge to encourage me to cook instead of leaving it late all the time and getting take away to often, it seems to be working.. ive put in a more strict bedtime routine where the kids have a bath every night after dinner etc just little things to keep everything moving along.. i know its stuff i shoulda been doing already but better late than never.. i also made up a smoothie this morning and crushed a multi vitamin into it hoping that will help too.. and trying to set small day to day goals so the house stays reasonable after dh put so much effort into it.. it really is a struggle tho and i feel really bad i let things get this far before i tried to pick myself up out of it because now its gonna be alot harder..
billy is growing so much! hes been on anti biotics for a throat infection poor thing but hes much better now.. hes started solids now, tho he only has a small amount of breakfast each day, i tried dinner the other day because he always fusses when we have ours but hes not really ready for it, only had two tea spoons before he stopped opening his mouth so now i just give him a rusk to chew on if he seems annoyed around that time and it seems to help.. hes huuuge too lol hes in 00 - 0 clothes, he dosnt fit in 00 suits coz hes too long.. hes moving around alot now too today i found him upside down in his cot lol and when i put him on the floor he rolls and wiggles wherever he wants to go lol!
ashas doing well too cant believe how grown up she is these days.. our latest thing with her is asking nicely so shes saying "please may i have ..." lol so funny coz when shes asking to be picked up or something she will say "please may i have a up please daddy" lol very cute!
think thats about it for me hope everyones having a good day :)
Happy new year ladies!!!!!!! I want to know everyones new yrs resolutions??? ;)
Sorry I have been mia, been in a pretty dark place I must admit over the past few weeks. However I am coming outta that and moving onwards and upwards.
Jaz - I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother :( She is at peace now.
Noni - I am happy for you making some changes around the house, the meal planning is a good idea. I struggle some nights, especially those nights after work. Asha sounds like a well mannered little girl :)
Clare - I am so darn out of the loop, but I was so over the moon when I saw your announcement a few days ago. Especially seeing as you were worried about it taking awhile to happen like it did with L. Yay so happy for you!
Ginger - I'm sorry that you lost your mum too soon, life can be so unfair. I'm sure she is watching you and so proud of what a great mum you are and so amazed at her boys. Its so nice that L & your dad are best mates, thats so special you know.
Arte - Awww I missed all your funny W stories, thats so cute of him saying he wont be naughty anymore and go back to bed lol. Hillarious, such a cutie.
Thank you girls for thinking of me & keeping your fingers crossed for me that we will have a 2010 baby. We have been dtd like crazy lol sorry if tmi. I tell ya something better come of all this loving!!!
M is doing so well, I cant believe how good she is getting with her words now. The grommets op has made all the difference to her. Also we started toilet training casually last week and had a lot of misses, but also a few big hits in the potty iykwim. Thought it was definately time as she tells me when she needs to go in her nappy & checks our pants for poos lol. So I think she is doing so well with it really. Daycare have told me to send her in her knickers tomorrow with lots of spare clothes.
Hello to everyone else, have missed you all
hi girls!
MM: have been thinking of you heaps lately as Perth is in the news so much with all the crazy fires going on over there. unfortunately i havent made a new years resolution...hmmmm maybe to get this darn PhD finished...that would be oh so nice!
that is great news that the grommets have worked a charm! so i'm guessing that there have been no more ear infections? that must be bliss!
Noni: oh yeah we do meal plans here too as it is the only way that i know we are getting a complete round of food stuffs. we dont normally eat alot of meat and can go for weeks without it, so have started meal plans just so we get one serving a week at least. also that way it means that i can start chopping vegies throughout the day etc...and so nice to eat a meal that hasnt had to be rushed!
Arte: oh wow! so i guess now you guys will be buying out NZs stockpiles of ear warmer caps LOL!! at least he found a solution...nothing should get in the way of bug searching!!
AFM: all good. have some issues kicking the tail end of a cold. but overall we are good. off to a 2 year old birthday party for one of the kids from MG today. leila really needs it she has been asking after all the kids from MG and kindy...i guess mumma is boring after awhile lol!
eeeek i think we have chicken pox here!! no idea where she caught it from!! its quite a mild dose (shes had the vaccination tho) and we will go to the dr tonight to confirm or not.. worried about billy catching it, both dh and i have had it tho..
mm - glad the gromets are working for maddie and WTG on the TT :D
cassius - yeh i probably wouldnt eat meat at all if it wasnt for dh lol he wants to have it with every meal so alot of nights i find myself just eating whatever ive cooked as a side dish lol its nice to know what im going to make tho so i can prepare as u said..
hope everyones having a great day!
eeppp! that is scary Noni! usually it takes a good week from time of contact...can you think of anyone you know that has it? has it come up in blisters?
no one i know has it and she hasnt been at school or swimming coz of holidays :( i put some pics on fb but they arent very clear.. shes scratching like crazy!! i cant make her stop!
