Ginger, I was thinking you should stick with the chocolate bar theme - mars is cool. Snickers?
Had my exam this morning. I think it went pretty well. It was over at the army camp, so there were (kiwi style) GI Joe's walking past for my entertainment.
Amelia seems to be sick. She had a nap at 9am this morning and then another at 1pm and she is still asleep two hours later. I don't think she has ever slept for two hours for a day nap since she was a tiny newborn.
leo the lion works for me lol! although a bit tricky to yell out when you are angry...doesnt have ooomph. maybe his 'norti' name can be 'lego' lol!
Arte: oh yes, how very distracting....i hope you managed to get the answers to the questions down amongst all that parading outside lol.
hmmm her sleeping does sound sus...but ya never know...maybe she's worked out that sleep is fun!
AFM: went to the BF clinic again today for marta. appears she has posterior tongue-tie. nothing too serious (fussiness and some attachment issues). to snip or not to snip that is the question.
then waiting at the lifts i bumped into a lady who was going home with her 2 day old baby....OMG. i was CLUCKY bahahahaha! i am so insane lol.
cass- i can't believe you're clucky!!!! if you're like me, you're ready to get utd one day then ready for dh to get the snip the next LOL
i choose to ignore lego and go with leo. he had a soft toy lion when he was little named leo that he loved so i think (hope) that's what he's saying. no more pets with stupid names around here, i'm over it!
going to the pub that Rush was filmed in tonight for romantic dinner with dh. no kidlets allowed.
do any of you guys still catch up with your mothers groups (if you had one)? if so, how often?
our mothers group meets weekly still. we formed as a playgroup and have hired a day at the local community cottage that runs on a term by term basis. we pay $15 each a term plus the fees for playgroup ($20ish a year). we also tend to meet up for things like girls nights out and this sunday one of the mums is turning the big 4-0 so we are off to that too...but we all love eachother so i guess that's why it's worked out well...(and it's a big group of 11 and we are all with our 2nd kids...some are still in the oven but yeah, so we'll have 22 kids ).
green with envy about your night out....ahhhh those were the days lol.
oh and do any of you guys have experience with posterior tongue tie?? appears that Marta has it and i now face a decision of "to snip or not to snip"...

sorry cass i have no idea about tongue tie. what has been recommended to you to do?
i can't believe how big your mothers group is!!! we tried the play group thing but some members weren't happy with it. what time do you have the community house (if you don't mind me asking) as this was one of the major issues.
we are having so much drama with my mg atm that i'm just about ready to walk away. i met up with one of the girls (the one who lives the closest to me and has 2 kids exactly the same age as mine) at the playground this morning for a coffee and play in the sunshine. one of the other girls heard about it and has absolutely cracked it that we met up 'behind peoples backs'. so over it all.
oh wow! man our group meets up with eachother behind all our backs all the time bahahaha! in fact i bumped into one of the girls DHs the other day when he was sitting in the front courtyard of the local pub...so i joined him for a light beer
we have the community house for 2 hours from 10.30am to 12.30pm on tuesdays...then we all skive off to the local cafe for a couple of hours lol. the community house has a fenced off outdoor area that the kids go ballistic in and of course the inside part that has microwave, fridge and some toys etc. it's all very basic as we were the first to hire it out as a playgroup venue and slowly slowly we are building up the stocks in terms of toys/activities.
what werent they happy about with the playgroup thingy? ours is private and it just means that we are insured if something were to happen iykwim...
it sounds crazy that there would be that kind of jealousy. i mean sometimes i wish that i too lived closer to the other girls as i know that they meet up at other times to hit the park etc., but man, i would never feel 'cheated on' LOL!
yeah it's pretty weird isn't it?
it just started up as a casual 'wanna meet up for half an hour play in the morning?' sorta thing cos she (N)rang me to talk about kinder (L and her dd are in same class). then a couple of hours later another mg girl (M) rang me and asked if i wanted to do something tomorrow, told her i was already meeting up with N but she was welcome to come too if she liked.she decided she would like to come but that she would like to invite everyone else. when a certain other member got the invite, she was upset that we had originally even tried to go on our own iykwim? i am peeved that M even bothered to invite the rest of them, especially if they're going to react to the invite like that.
the community house thing didn't work as the only time we could get was 12-2. many of the younger ones needed to sleep at this time, but also people always turn up late at our mg (so like 1pm) and then get annoyed that they only got an hour of playtime when they had made the effort to come. soooooo annoying. sooooooo over it.
Ditch them, all they do is cause you grief. Who cracks it because someone meets up 'behind your back?!
You can meet up with whoever you like, whenever you like and no one should make you feel otherwise. It's all a bit childish really.
I think the socialisation for the kids at MG is the main advantage, especially if you're not really that close with the chicks. (Socialisation for mums is important too, but not if you don't like the people! ) So as long as the boys are having plenty of play dates and socialising, you don't really need the added hassle you seem to cop.
Ginger, that is crazy! I don't think I get the playgroup thing over there - they seem like more trouble than they are worth. I am with JM, if it stresses you out then just dump it. You have lots of friends and you can still catch up with the MG ladies that you like.
Our mothers group is a local one, 10-12 every Thursday at a church hall. Has been going for years. Most of us are on to our second or third child, people drop away as their kids get bigger and new people start. There are about 15ish regulars that go with a general turnout each week of 8ish. We pay $2 each to cover the hall hire. People catch up outside of mother group all the time - because they are friends and that is what friends do! No one cares, there isn't an all or nothing rule for meeting up with MG members lol.
yeah well that's what i reckon too, it shouldn't be all or nothing when you meet up- it should just be whatever you feel like, whenever you feel like it.
i've pretty much put it out there now that i am out. over it. not interested.
i really hope i meet some new mums next year through kinder.
