    Gosh Trill, poor little fella. I wonder if he'll be a bit out of sorts tomorrow though, hope he's feeling better soon. I bet your heart lept into your mouth .

    Leanne - good luck with the school thing - yes it is a bit fraught isn't it, it's like when you go for a new job and you have an idea of what it will be like but you don't actually find out until you're committed! I can't believe you're jetting off to the US (again!) Getting a taste for it, aren't you

    Suz, good on your for lashing out on some mascara and well done on your weight loss. What else have you been doing besides the Wii Fit?

    Oz - well said! I hope you get some good sleep soon.

    MP - H seems to be going well at school - she got a really good set of grades for her Gold Rush projects (all As) so I think she finally understands what the difference is between a good mark and an average mark in terms of effort and attention to detail. I have the presence of mind and energy most days now to scrutinise her homework. Socially she has settled into a more fixed group of friends and they are all nice girls.

    Cass, I hope you had a lovely day today, and scored some great loot!

    AFM - saw my dr today and the good news is blood work shows no insulin/sugar issues...bad news is my hormones are on the low side. It was mad in there today (I think they were dealing with an emergency because they are *never* running that late) so I didn't have time to question her about whether that can just be a temporary thing or if it's a sign that ovaries are shutting down. Either way I feel fully justified for being a moody cow last week .

    Wooo Suz on the weight loss. I have been hoping on the Wii lots lately too.

    Trill poor A how was he last night? Yeah the Dr gave me a script, have to get it filled today. Though he seemed fine last night so not sure weather to wait and see? Poor little thing has lost his voice, nice and quiet here though lol.

    MD hopefully the hormones are just a temporary thing and not a sign of something more serious.

    Both kids slept great last night with just one wake up each and both before midnight. Have lots to do today, my house is a mess and dad arrives on Sunday. One of my friends (who's belly I photographed a couple of weeks ago) is in labour so I am carrying my phone around every where lol. Have a great day!!

    My little Crusty Demon is fine today - good night sleep and his normal self. Looking at it today it doesn't even seem that bruised now and the egg has gone down. I don't even think it will leave much of a scar either. DH is on nightshift atm so I took him to bed with me last night to keep a better eye on him JIC.

    Yeah Suz, the redipred is a steroid to open their airways. There is another brand too that you can get with a slightly different name.

    MD, I wonder if the treatment has sent you into an earlier than expected menopause? I hope it is only a temporary blip. That is wonderful news she scored such great marks! When he did it, I did think 'oh ****!' LOL, but I wasn't upset or panicky, probably too casual, but after dealing with Lindsay's accident that time, anything else is a breeze kwim?

    Busy today - gotta make some biscuits to take to football tomorrow for the canteen and get an assignment done and submitted and then tonight the kids and I are off to Mums for tea because my sister goes home tomorrow.

    hey everyone
    trying to keep up but just jumping on when i can atm..
    all is going ok.. going to see my grandparents on the weekend, its very cute coz they are super excited, we dont see them very often and when we do its usually only for a few hours so we are going down to spend the night with the kids so they can have some time with them.. my Nan is so excited she rang me up with the menu plan (she is a worrier lol and like to have everything very organised lol) anyways should be good..
    first game of netball this weekend too gosh hope im fit enough, and hope i can squeeze into my skirt haha!!
    do any of ur kids still not sleep through?? Asha is still waking up every night, usually crying and coming in with us, sometimes shes quite hard to settle, im pretty sure shes having nightmares but i really have no idea what i can do for her??
    im also quite worried about William and his "asthma" we don't actually know if he has asthma yet but hes very prone to bronchiolitis and the dr said that's probably why.. my dr is away until Monday and i prob wont be able to get an appt till Tuesday because we will be travelling back from my grandparents house that day.. his cough is so awful tho and he just cant clear it, i know a bronchiolitis cough is suppose to last 4 - 6 weeks but its just awful.. does anyone know of any bubs starting ventolin or anything similar to help them at such a young age im worried we may need to..
    everything else is going pretty well..
    Trill - poor little A i remember when that happened to Asha its so awful!! glad hes feeling better!
    md - glad the glucose test results are all good fingers crossed the other results were just a once off..
    hope everyone else is well, sorry havnt read back through all the posts im shocking but im trying to get there!!

    cassius - have u spoken to the director about that carer? seems she needs a lesson in confidentiality and well just basic social behaviour!! you never talk infront of other parents especially if its something that may be a bit sensitive!! id put in a complaint if i were you, she may just not realise what shes doing and it might fix it completely.. either way i think she needs to be pulled into line!

    Noni - sorry, can't help with the asthma thing. DD doesn't sleep through, we can have 1-3 wakeups a night. Sometimes she wakes up all upset and comes running out to our room, sometimes she is just sitting on her bed crying, other times she just stands outside our door 'sneaking up on us' and if we call out her name she comes running in laughing. She generally goes back to bed with just a cuddle, sometimes she needs new books to read in bed. We did have a lot of issues with her at the end of last year with waking up and we got into a bit of a habit of hopping into the spare bed with her, but that's over now thankfully. Have a great visit with your grandparents.

    Cass - that carer does sound a bit weird. As for the pooing, fair enough to let you know there were lots of poos, but they really should know she is a frequent pooer by now! Glad the birthday was good.

    Trill - glad that A is ok. Aren't country hospitals great for the quick turnaround, we've been in and out of ours with K is that sort of time frame before and it's wonderful. Although, if you don't happen to get the doctor it can be a bit painful....

    MD - good news on the sugar levels, hope you can get some more info on the hormones.

    suz - WTG on the weight loss!

    My parents have come down for a couple of nights. They are looking after K today and visiting the botanic gardens (and the dam - we have a tantrum everytime we drive past and don't look at it...) All of us are heading out for Chinese tonight which will be nice. That is of course if DH is still awake - silly boy, came to bed at 3 last night doing work stuff.

    Hi girls!

    thanks for the birthday wishes! had a pretty lovely day. got spoilt which was a lovely surprise! DH bought me some DVDs, mum got me some beauty products, scored a lovely big phat candle, a handmade tealight holder and a gorgeous metalicus wool dress for winter. the only problem was that my mum sent Leila a YODELLING goat. yep. it must disappear....driving me bonkers.

    Suz: yeah i had the mouse issue lol. havent seen them since, but my cat has been patrolling so am content ATM that we have averted disaster thanks to our 'mouser'. i even have put the bread back on the bench as my 'check' system LOL! not sure on what is the most humane way to go about it. but i reckon that Sherie's system of snapping the necks would be the fastest...pity i dont have the guts to do it

    Sherie: oh deary me. that does sound like he came a good cropper on that pole. hope his head doesnt hurt too much today the poor wee poppet.

    Oz: how is the croup going? how did you know he had it? was it the cough?? i have no idea! best wishes for your friend too, exciting times ahead!

    MD: the hormone thing could even possibly be related to the stage of cycle that your at. some chicks really bottom out...i reckon it is worth follow up BTs and see if there is a change or not...

    AFM: all okish here. DD got sent home late yesterday afternoon for diaorrhea. turns out upon questioning today (AFTER going to the GP and begging for an early appt where the GP couldnt find any symptom of illness etc and was confused why we were there) that she had done 4 dirty nappies during the day. now, Leila has been there for just over 2 years. she is (and i apologise for TMI) a serial pooer. admittedley i had stocked her up on sultanas on the monday for the car ride...yes, i havent learnt my lesson...but seriously, there is a difference between 'loose' and diaorrhea IYKWIM. she looks fine, eating well and playing hard and sleeping even better. just annoyed that they made a big broo ha ha about it then backtracked today when i brought her in. (this is coming from the same carer that publicly -in front of other parents - stated that she thought a worm had come out of leila's vagina... turns out it is the skin flap that she has had since birth...so yeah, i am hesitant to believe everything the carer says LOL!). urgh. i know they need to be vigilant on contagious things, but a bit of sensitivity would go a long way...

    sorry for the vent!
