Sherie: i had to giggle at As 'creative' wee position LOL! i can just imagine the special cleaning that would take LOL! nothing like mopping the roof ROFL!
i'm sorry to hear that things with your Mum are going haywire again. i hope that the will stuff will be sorted soon for you all xx
sounds as though A will settle in quite nicely at his CC. you might find that it takes a bit if he only goes once a fortnight, as he wont be able to fit in as quickly, but once he starts going a bit more often he should be right as rain IYKWIM.
MP: 22 people. you are mad lol! at least you will have some people helping with the cooking and serving...big weight off your shoulders considering what it could of been. man, i can barely organise an easter egg hunt in my own backyard for the kids LOL!
Ginger: i havent even heard of mothercraft! i thought that it was a subject they used to teach girls at highschool in the 60s
Cally: yeah, we find Leila's best days at kindy are when her bestie is there. they are so cute, when one of them arrives the other runs up and they give eachother big cuddles and toddle off hand in hand *mwah*
AFM: all good here again. had a lovely whole day out yesterday visiting friends and today we went to this warehouse full of easter eggs...so bought up big on the ol lindt and bunny rabbits for leila. will go to haighs during the week for a bilby too.
MP - glad to hear you've had some good results and things are getting much better. Long term sleep deprivation is the pits. I hope your passover do goes off fantastically well. I can imagine you are the hostess with the mostess !
Arte - wondering how things are with you?
Cass - do not freak out re your meeting. Remember they are only academics - just like real people but with more bookshelves & bigger optometrist bills Anyway I know enough about you to know you will have knocked the pants off it.
CAlly - that is so cute the K has a little CC friend. Missy E has too - FDC's DD - they clicked straight away, but also helped because she's there more days than anyone else LOL. It's great watching them play together, they're really on the same wavelength - except here it's all girly stuff like prams and dressups and cooking and less on the dinosaurs LOL.
Trill - big hugs - I'm sure you're support for your mum & partner is deeply appreciated - just try to remember to keep a little bit of energy for yourself ok? I LOL'd at Percy points down! Though the girls can be pretty directional when they wiggle around on the dunny too LOL.
Speaking of which we have launched head first into TTing (prematurely, I think it would've been better to wait another month or two) at DH's behest. He's got a few days off over Easter and thought we might as well get cracking on it. TBH I'm not 100% convinced we will succeed, but we'll give it a go and if the m&m bribes don't work, we will back off for a bit. I'm totally exhausted after a weekend of "helping" DD with her term-long school project(s) - tho I managed to get out long enough to wander around in Big W sucking on a cappy in peace and quiet for an hour. I hope we, I mean she, gets a good mark for it . I expect next term she'll start in week 3 when it's handed out. In the meantime I'm feeling like a ****ty mother for the amount of ranting that occurred.

Had a great day today with Missy E at home because another parent needed our CC space more this week. But we popped in to visit (Tues is toddler day, 4 little girls all around same age) and took Easter treats - arrowroot biscuits iced & decorated to look like Easter eggs - Big Hit - in case any of you are looking for inspiration - and better IMO than just 'more' chocolate. DD helped me make them - not as nice of course as my home-baked honey cookies - but an alright shortcut.
Also, have left off the TTing - Missy E was starting to get stressed about it & it just ain't worth it.
hi md easter biccies sound great. we are giving TT a bit of a miss here atm too. i keep asking him if he wants to wear undies and he keeps just grabbing a nappy and trying to put it on himself!
MotherCARE ladies Mothercare
L is having a big day out tomorrow with grandpa- they're going to the movies to see the Dragon movie and J and i are meeting up with a gf for coffee.
we went to a family fun day at a garden up the road fron us today and L got to pat a baby possum, an owl, a snake and a crocodile! then on the way home we saw a wild deer on the side of the road. L absolutely loved it!
Went down to visit family over the weekend. All good, but not enough time to people for as long as I would like. My best friend came up and I got to spend all day with him which was great. We went to the beach with my cousins and their kids, it is cool that we have a group of next gen bubba's now.
I can't recommend enough waiting until TT is child-initiated. It has now been two weeks since W decided no more nappies and he is going so well. He wears a pull-ups at night and they are dry about half the time. He even managed to go the whole 4 days of travelling/out and about with only one accident. I am so proud of him.
MD: hmm the arrowroot idea is something that i *think* even i can handle LOL! oh and as for the ranting and raving...can i just say that it totally reminds me of the dynamic that i had with my mum...yes, i was a nerd that loved nothing more than forgetting about things to the last minute and my mum was the librarian that had it all under control...she told me that libraries are real places too LOL! (and if it's any consolation, i did turn out aok...albeit having allergic reactions to libraries while at school - my mum actually worked in the one at school...embarrassment PLUS for any 14 yr old lol, but once i hit uni it was all systems go and never looked back!).
Arte: ahh a day at the beach sounds just perfect right now. and how awesome is W with the TT. i'll so take his lead and let leila find the way...with some guidance (i guess?).
G: how does L go at the movies? i really wanna take leila but am wondering if it will just be stress town as she jumps all over the place??
AFM: well the meeting is OVER! they apparently changed the time to an hour before hand and tried to make out that i was disorganised, until i whipped out my email and proved to them that they had, in fact, failed to inform me of the time change. they sooooo had to eat their words LOL! after that they were quite nice and told me that i have a thesis!! so great to hear those words. basically i have to knock one chapter around with a battering ram and do the general edit and i should be home and hosed for a mid August end date! pressure is on, but i knew that once i got the BFP. but it wont be bad to finish with a PhD and two babies in 3.5 years!! so glad that meeting is over though. i really cannot stand that kind of top heavy environment.
yay - well done clare... i knew you would ace it but also how much stress and hard work has gone in. wow what an achievement filled 3.5 yrs - thats phenomenal! hope the last stretch is a smooth ride... xxx
Anyway I know enough about you to know you will have knocked the pants off it. 
. I expect next term she'll start in week 3 when it's handed out. In the meantime I'm feeling like a ****ty mother for the amount of ranting that occurred.
