MP: so great to hear from you sweets! but woah! what an intense and not so nice time for you all. i really hope that your DH gets to be home soon...cook up some chicken stock! nothing like chicken soup for recovery!!
And yeah Noni is mostly on FB these days.
MD: i wish i had pizza...mmmmmm. i am going through a bit of an asian inspired moment in our kitchen ATM. mostly cause it tends to be quick tonight is Moroccon prawns and garlic soy greens on the side. and mebbe a bit of rice...hmmmmm. yeah, i'll do some rice.
Sherie: i now i want pizza AND cookies! in fact i have just polished off half a packet of those mint slice ones that arnotts makes...100s and 1000s....oh please send some over!!!
AFM: all good here! am enjoying the sunshine this afternoon. watching the grass grow while both girls have a nap. Marta got her vaccinations done today. poor wee poppet. i really disliked them ringing big bells in her face after they jabbed her. apparently it's to distract them from what has happened...but honest, i think it's better she knows just what happened and lets me calmly tell her it's ok rather than do this scary jingle bells on crack dance in front of her. all i wanted to do was pop her on the boob and get on with it. then i got the spiel about our decision to not have the rotavirus. i guess they gotta do it, but it is still a tad frustrating.
mp- nice to hear from you. wishing your dh a speedy recovery.
cass- i have never had them ring bells at the vaccs! last time i went they blew some bubbles which the boys kinda liked but ringing bells sounds ridiculous to me.
xmas windows were lovely but boys weren't too impressed by santa. melb girls they have a little xmas train in the basement at myer that was awesome
Gosh, our doctor must be behind the times, we just have a lolly jar after vaccinations. Ringing bells in their face would just freak them out more wouldn't it?
MP - I hope your DH is on the mend. You must be so pleased you are in Melbourne now with some more family around.
Cass - I am a massive fan of stirfry's because they are so quick and easy
Arte - I think a lot of men just don't really get the whole thing about dinner and planning. It's got nothing to do with being controlling, it's about being considerate of your wife who has been home all day with two small children (who don't sleep!!) and would like to have an idea of when to turn the oven on!
Cass, you'd think that the ringing of the bells like that would just create a trigger for being upset like that. Kinda like Pavlov's dog. Being on the boob while they do it is a much nicer way to get them through it.
G, Our myer doesn't do the windows Mum always used to take us to see them when we'd have Christmas at her sister's place. I loved them and wish ours would do it too.
we did the xmas windows today as well! we also got some pics done with santa. it was a family affair that i was totally unprepared for and i felt and look fat and gross. beh.
i like the idea of bubbles after the vax...soo much more calming..
cass- did L go on the little train? so cute
we didn't get any photos at all, the kids just wouldn't co-operate. oh well, maybe next year LOL
trill- oh i wish your Myer did them too...have you had any sign of locusts? i wanted to ask you as well, the big playground that you got last year- do the kids get much use out of it? where did you end up getting it from?
i've gone the hard line with TT and he only wears undies all day now, even when we got out. yesterday he weed himself but today in the middle of safeway shopping with a full trolley he says to me 'i need to do wees!' yah! he's learning!!!! so off to the toilet we went
We do have locusts G, we've got the chemical to spray them, but they aren't thick enough to form bands. They aren't doing any damage as yet, so we can tolerate them. The crops will hopefully be all stripped by the end of next week and after that I don't care much about what they do LOL.
Hi ladies,
I thought I would pop my head in and introduce myself; I'm Angie from Brisbane. My hubby and I had our first little bubba on 20 September - a perfect little girl Penelope (Penny) Rose. She is the absolute light of my life xo
Since I'm only new at this parenting gig I might not be any help to anyone for advise but would love some like-minded online buddies
Hope everyone and their bubbas are happy and healthy!
Angie
Cass, is there *anyone* on BB who you haven't run into IRL msl: - hey did it turn out to be looking at barbecues in the other thread?
MP Sounds like you're all really struggling. I hope your DH is able to recuperate quickly, such a hard thing to be sick and in pain as well.
Trill - hope the little blighters move straight on past and go and eat Canberra instead LOL. Plenty of food for them on those lush green lawns of Parl House.
Arte I forgot to say but I get pretty wild if DH tells me he will be somewhere at X oclock and then he is late. I don't mind if he hasn't told me a definite time but I see red when he says a time and then doesn't arrive. But I'm the queen of double standards cos I'll happily stay out a bit later if I'm out by myself LOL. Fickle fickle woman.
Cally I'm with you. Aren't too many things in the world that a jelly baby won't fix LOL.
Ginger how were the chrissy windows. I got all nostalgic when I read that...I was thinking of when we were in Melb...that's 2 years ago already!! Crazy. Well done with the TT hardlining.
We're getting mixed results with the TTing. I took her to the toilet this morning at new FDC lady's place cos she flat out refused to use the toilet last week, and she was good all day. Relaxed and let it all out when we got home though
MD- That is the loveliest blog post ever. Oprah has no idea what she's missing out on, so i emailed her just to make sure she hasn't missed your blog. I'm sure you've already done that but the more emails she gets the more likely she is to pay attention. I really, really hope you get some tickets. xx
OMG yes MD!!! It was certainly one of the best eps I reckon. Although I wish DH wasn't watching with me because he nearly wet himself when she was telling Nicko on the phone that she didn't want to be the big bus anymore and he asked me what that meant and in hindsight I don't think I should have told him ROFL. And I watched Raising Hope as well and far out that's a good show. Very clever writing.
awwww thanx md. i loved what you wrote and i loved that you mentioned the future marriages of our offspring LOL
just went to a lovely birthday party with the boys but unfortunately it was at a playground next to a lake so i spent 90% of the time holding J as i was completely paranoid as he is a sneaky little escape artist. now my back is killing me
dh is going away again tomorrow luckily it's the last time for ages.
JM: *snap* i too have also added to Ms Winfrey's email inbox lol! great minds think alike!!
darn it! i missed librarians AND raising hope...the two shows that i really wanted to watch! i totally forgot so watched the sopranos thinking nothing was on (yes, TV is my all time friend...).
hey and just a quick Q...i got the whooping cough booster and my arm hurts. like really hurts. i got it on tuesday and i can barely use it....what the? i cant see any bruising...do you think it's bruised but mebbe on the inside?! i cant even touch it without being a big sook about it lol.
Cass, the tetanus booster gives me a dead arm for a couple of days, like stiff and achey?
Ginger, Yay for the TT progress!
Yesterday was pet day at kindy and W took his pet slugs and snail. Easiest pets ever!! W and his friend collided last night and W had an instant massive egg on his head and his face is all grazed up but he was alright.
