Babies born~September 2007 #60

You guys ARE my mothers group. :lol:

Cass, I have no idea about the tongue tie but I know it's something I used to hear about back in my ABA days so they might have some good info/advice for you about it.

I agree the mother's group thing is weird. Maybe that person is just socially immature? It does sound like something you would hear at high school :lol:

There again I'm not really one to talk, I have never really understood the finer machinations of groups of women like that...except ABA which was run in a structured way - and I stopped wanting to go there once I knew my boob was getting the chipchop...I work better one-on-one.

yeah i know i always have you guys :) but it's good for the kids to have some social interactions too especially as they're not in cc at all. i talk to you guys much more about what's really going on in my life though iykwim?
yeah it's high school all over again except that none of us smoke and i definitely don't have a hot biology teacher named mr playne anymore.

Lucky you Ginger...we had a very un-hot middle-aged biology teacher with the most extraordinary comb-over I have seen to this day :lol:

You guys ARE my mothers group. :lol:

Totally agree with that! And when you meet up behind my back, I'm just jealous that I can't join in.

Well I got a clean bill of health today - and man was that hospital sandwich good at 2pm when the last solid food was Wednesday night! Although the pizza tonight was pretty good too. I think DD was a bit disappointed I didn't come home with pictures of my bottom though....

My biology teacher was an old lady and I swear she used to nod off and drool up the front during tests.

Yay Cally for good results :)...man I know what you mean about how good that hospital food tastes when you've been fasting 24+ hrs ...best cold toast and porridge I've ever eaten in my life :rofl:

Hey, Cally, don't forget you and I met up behind others backs a couple of times ;)

yah!!! cally, that's great news :)

i can't believe all you girls meeting up behind my back!
i prob shouldn't say too much on a public forum, but i think there are some major issues going on with my mg. luckily i think kinder next year will divide us all up a bit, as the kids are all splitting up and going to different places on different days.
oh and did i mention that my kinder already tried to rope me in to being the president???? no thanks! i agreed to being a committee member but that's more than enough for me. i'm a lady of leisure these days!
going to pick up our new kitty today :)
oh and thinking we might take the boys to the aquarium tomorrow to see the sharks!!!! j loves fish so he should have a ball.

Why wasn't I invited to the exclusive Cally and MD meet-up! *throws toys around*

Ginger, I am going to take a guess that the issues with your mg is someone is a super-clingy stalker type? Have fun picking up your new kitten. I want a new kitten too! So cute. But it wouldn't be fair around here, A loves animals too much - think Elmyra.

Cally, yay for your good results. How is your dad doing?

My biology teacher didn't wear a bra and when she reached up to write on the blackboard you could see down the arm holes of her shirt....

that's digusting!!!! wow! sounds like i really struck it lucky with the biology teachers LOL i used to write 'i love billy playne' on my pencil case.

we drank a bottle of wine last night and i'm feeling a little fuzzy today. why is there never panadol here when i need it?

our biology teacher was too into his 'biology' and got two girls in my year pregnant :o. it was insane and, when it all came out that he was DTD with both of them there was this massive cliche cat fight in the english rooms...like face scratching and all. he got D-listed.

Cally: that must be a huge relief to get the all clear! hope there was some champers for celebrating...well, ok, so any excuse for champers is my way of life haha!

MD: too true. this group is my source of true MG stuff. i feel a much stronger connection with this group than the IRL one. i guess because here we can share stuff without the distraction of a million kids running around under our feet and the reality is that i get to chat with you guys everyday! which is awesome for someone like me that doesnt have a wide circle of friends and family.

Arte: hopefully she shaved though...hairy pits can be a bit much lol.

G: i'm with JM on this one. just meet up with the girl you like and blow the rest to the wind. it aint worth it. and in the end you dont really want your kids hanging out with anything too toxic...even if the toxicity is from the parents.

AFM: busy busy busy here. we have a birthday party this afternoon. leila is busy 'wrapping' all her toys lol. we also had a builder in as we are putting up a wall for a 3rd bedroom, knocking a wall to make an open plan kitchen/living/dining and replacing some rotten floorboards. i am pretty excited!!
Leila gave Marta another present of the booger variety. so we have a somewhat cranky baby...but she is still cute even with boogers down her face lol!

Girls, I'm am in a very serious quandary. I need an Oprah show buddy, someone I can nominate who is *definitely* committed to getting to Sydney (you need to be able to pick the tickets up a day before if you get them) & who is happy to nominate me in return, to maximise both our chances.

ANYONE? You need to have your travel capability and child care arrangements sorted!

i would MD! But i didnt know who to nominate for my ticket...arghhh! i shoulda asked on here :wall: i nominated a friend that lives in canberra...and she doesnt even like oprah lol! but i just didnt want to waste a chance at bringing someone if i got a ticket lol. and we cant change them can we??? or can we???? *logging on to read FAQs*

No I think they've done it that way specifically to foil the would-be scalpers. Cos just imagine the racket you could have going dealing to all us hysterical Oprah-lovers 24 hours before the show LOL. Awww, just had my friend I've been trying to get hold of since yesterday ring me, I think she's pretty darn excited, she's a true believer too. She is coming around so we can register together.

i'm not into her enough tbh, glad you got a hold of your frined md.
so what is this nominate business? i don't understand it. how many tickets are there available? do you think she'll give away a car?

Her giveaways are awesome, I want to go just to see the love spread!

No I don't think there will be any giveaways, too big of an audience, not enough tax breaks back home in the US LOL. Basically each person who registers can nominate a guest. But only the person who registers can collect the tickets in person in Sydney. So you can't ask people who have no intention of going to register and nominate you as their guest just to get more spots in the ballot, kwim? I think I read 3000 Ginger, not sure if that's 3000 in each show (x2 shows) or 3000 all up or 3000 is just an imaginary number in my head. The latter being reasonably possible.

ETA - how's Leo the Love Lion settling in?

Yeah i don't think there will be whole audience giveaways but I reckon she'll be helping out some people in need. I love that kind of stuff!

Oh yeah, totally addicted to the whole Angel Network concept. You can nominate an Aussie hero for one of the Australian shows or someone for a "harpo hookup". How cool is that?

LOL MD, I like Oprah, but I just don't think my sanity could handle all the screaming ;) I"m glad you got it tee'd up with your friend though.

Cally, excellent news on getting the all clear. LOL at K being upset at no pictures :rofl:

G, I hope the MG stuff sorts itself out. Women like that tend to gravitate towards other women like that so hopefully you wont have to worry about it anymore. I had to laugh at you being asked to be president. When the older 3 went through I held committee roles and gave up in P's last year so I could just enjoy her last year and I got asked the other day if I was going to go back to it and I said no way! There is a real nasty piece of work running the show now and I think I would kill her if I was on a committee with her LOL and I'll be far too busy anyway.

Well I enrolled A in preschool the other day and at this stage it looks like it will be a Friday. Would have preferred Monday, but with places being tight I had to take what I could get. Apparently they are running a 3rd class for the older 3yo's - ie the ones that will turn 4 early next year - and that has eased the pressure on getting a place. During footy season it will be full on though - training thursday, preschool Friday and then football Saturday. but it'll be fine, it's not like I have kids younger than A otherwise I'd go mental LOL. But at this time of year it will be perfect because Little A's is on Friday arvo's.
