Far out G! she never gives up does she? I hope the hangover is feeling decidedly better LOL. I don't drink anymore and I am so glad of that - I feel ****ty enough after a big night out as it is without adding drinking as well.
Footy and netball again today - and both Lindsay's and the girls' netball teams won again so they are both undefeated. Although the girls team really had to work hard for it this week - their opposition had a lot of girls that have been playing for a few years and it was nailbiting stuff LOL. I have taken over umpiring their games too which is keeping me on my toes - I haven't umpired in years! But it is loads of fun and it's good to feel more involved than just being on the sidelines kwim?
Alcohol! What a great idea, I think I need me some of that...sadly forbidden for a week or so .
Ginger, hope you can maintain the amusement. xxx
Trill - sounds like fun!
Big day for us tomorrow, free zoo afternoon for families from DH's work (national family week or something). Can't wait to see the PANDAS!!! We've been in a lather of excitement for a year now, missed the big opening due to my boobal requirements, so the kids are really gonna love this. Saw some panda meringues at the bakery, so cute, might splash out on a couple tomorrow.
MD, have fun at the zoo. Hope the panda's put on a good show. Bummer about the giraffes.
Ginger, hope you got some satisfaction out of seeing in print how crazy your MIL is.
Trill, sounds like the kids are doing well with their sports. I am not sports minded at all and sort of dread the future games I will have to watch. Hopefully it is more interesting if your own kid is playing.
Alcohol.... I wish I had some. Haven't had any since NYE2006, been pregnant and/or BF ever since. I figure it would take about one glass for me to make an arse of myself and then fall asleep these days lol
I had an inspection of my eyebrows and I don't think they are bushy at all. In fact, there are a couple of small bald patches, so if I plucked there would be gaps. I guess they could be a bit shapelier but since I barely bother to brush my hair that isn't high on my priority list lol
Hi All
He he on the eyenbrow discussion.... if you've never done it Arte you prob dont need to...
Me - i have pretty good brows but i do treat em bc i like the look straight after. anyone tried threading?? i swear it is even better than waxing - gotta find someone who does it here in Melb. I dont pluck in b/n - i am lazy and i dont think my bropws need it. pre kids - every 6 weeks. now - every 3 months!! LOL. MD hopw did your first time go??
G - lol at the mil. glad you were able to enjoy it!
Sherie - is it a bit of a work out umpiring? I used to play pretty competitive hockey - thought i may give umpiring a go at some pt.
J's first tooth came thru this week after WEEKS of the worst teething i have seen. soooo cute! its partner is close to through too.
N did one we on the potty but nop other siuccesses there. i am thinking he is a cluey litle guy so i willl leave it to him to tell me when he is ready. I found out the kindergarten/school he will start at next yr has long day care too for the ELC - a big relief i had no0 idea what i wojuld do after schol. it i snear work so i figured drop offs would be workable.
ok better go. hopefully back soon to tell you more and catch up.
ps JM - LOVE the L story - hope you took some pics
Hey MP! I'm happy that J finally has a tooth through so the poor little fella gets some relief and the next one isn't as bad. That is great news about the childcare attached to the ELC. Would make your life so much easier!
The umpiring is easy. The girls only play to Netta rules, which are a slightly modified version of the proper rules, things like uncontested shots at goal and we don't make them stand out of play if they are too close etc. And they aren't fast moving games either which makes it easy to keep up.
ok got afew more mins...
G and C - billy lids is great for me.. its about 5 mins from my house!!!! The only prob is I can only really catch up on a weekend... (or a monday but i dont have N then...). would a saturday work for you?
when it is warmer we can meet at my place (since it is prob easy for G) - a run around the backyard for all our crazies and some nice arvo9 tea for us sounds good to me!
Sherei - do you thik the next teeth wont be as bad? N never suffered this much with his, it has been awful! he is still waking v v often in the night - feedinga ty least4 times... i think G and Arte had this with L and W - when did it last til? i am suiffering, esp with work which is great but full on. we have aborted everything the nurse told me. i think we have to get back into it but i am too shattered to go there... that said i got a 1.5 hr nap yest when he had a long sleep and last night aside from 3 hrs of settling from 11, we slept.. so feeling alot better. when i read that it scares me that i think it's good. i need a sense check too - i know she is wronhg but interrested in your views... MIL thinks J gets sick a lot (i think normal esp as it is cvold and he is in cc) - and thinks i should put him on multivitamins.. i think this is crazyt at 10 months.. and he is still BF and will get what he needs from there. he is also havoing a lot more solids now when he is well... anyway i dont think this is the way to go at his age so i am sayoing so. DH agrees but i thik he wonders what to do and doesnt want to push it with me... that coupled with him being smaller i think has DH a bit worried... am i wrong (be honest)
MD - how was the zoo? y mum took N to to zoo a few weeks back, he loved it!
we are going to mums this afternoon for an early dinner... she lives in a shopping mecca so think i might try to pop over earlier and leave J with her and do a little shop... and DHwill bring N on the tram! then roast lamb. ummm - perfect!!!
I just made up a recipe based on Isadora's zucchini and carrot bake - yummmooooooo! i couldnt remeber her recipe so i made this one up!
N is really into any wraps at the momebt.. so we are making all sprts of combinations with tortilas, lavosh etc. and yest for bfast i made crepes and we did wraps out of them - what a hit! J ate some (with full eg) and has had other thingsd with egg in it - so i am thinking he is ok with eggs? this slice has more eggs in it (5 in total) so i might try him on that and see how we go! will be graert if he can do egg, scrambled egg is a lifesaver after work for N ( i add vegies etc) so will be great if J can have them too.
geez that was a selfish post - sorry!
I agree on it being crazy to give him multivitamins at that age. But I do think that if you think your DH is a bit worried about him then it wont hurt to see a GP or MCHN just to alleviate his worry. Sometimes even when you *know* that everything is fine and that the few sniffles etc can be easily explained by weather and being around other kids with sniffles that just having that feeling validated by someone else can make all the difference. Plus having an 'authority' person say he's fine might get MIL to back off a little The second tooth could be easier. I remember when L was teething he didn't get his first tooth till this age too and we had one weekend of solid crying and unsettled-ness and two teeth popped through at the end of it, but the next two that came were easier on him. Maybe you could get him an amber teething necklace and see if that helps at all?
