Friday the 13th lucky or a nightmare?

[glitterfairy]

I am quite superstitious but usually (and I am touching wood here)this is not a bad day for me. I quite like the number 13 and wondered if anyne had a Friday the 13th story to share.

[allatsea]

no, but so far today has been a horrible cocktail of a tired 2 yo and a teething 8mo

[glitterfairy]

Maybe they will sleep later or calpol will kick in?

Mine had got hold of a copy of titanic (from a neighbur) and my dd9 had put it on in the living room my dd5 was in floods of tears when I realsied what was giong on!

its the 13th today?

my brother was born on Friday 13th and he tends to be lucky
Its our family number
and the number of a witches coven

I like it

[Titania]

i have got a kidney infection, a teething 6 month old with an upset stomach and ds1 and dd fighting cos they are bored!!! Not a very good day for me I'm afraid!!!

[glitterfairy]

Titania that sounds awful. I was a SAHM for 6 years and never got used to being ill and not getting any rest at all. Now I work when I am sick the kids daily routine continues and it is much better I really feel for you. Big hug and kidney infections are painful as well.

[Titania]

i havent even got a garden to put them out in and im not up to going out today! plus its p'ing down with rain

[glitterfairy]

Are they too young for TV???????

[Titania]

they wont sit still long enough!!!! Aged 4, 2 and 6 months!!

[glitterfairy]

Any relatives about? Or friends? It sounds like a nightmare for you.

[Titania]

none

[glitterfairy]

Can only offer a hug then. What treatment are you having for the kidney infection?

[Titania]

antibiotics and painkillers that are making me feel a bit woozy

[tinytoes]

lucky for me and ds-he was born friday the 13th september 2002!

[tinytoes]

titania sorry to hear youre not well kidney infections are painful its one of the only things i would take antibiotics for -are they working?
drink loads of cranberry juice too- this is supposed to help

[Bagpuss30]

My ds born Friday 13th October 2000. Best day of my life .

[Titania]

i cant drink cranberry juice.....there is something in it that oxidises and can cause kidney stones if you are prone to them.....which i am!!! drinking loads of barley water instead!!

ds2 was due on the 12th feb 04, and the next day was friday the 13th....as i was having a home birth, I didn't want him to be born on that day!!! Thank goodness he was born on 11th feb!!!

2 of my friends at primary school were born on friday the 13th!! One of them is always having things go wrong....the other is now a sucessful business man!!!

[Juliehafrancis]

Same here tinytoes! Cool eh! Briony Mae was born at 12.15 on the 13th September 2002

[nutcracker]

Didn't even realise it was Friday 13th.

[tinytoes]

cool jf ! jacob was born 9.35
(titania sorry for the bad advice hope youre ok soon)

[edam]

So far this morning I've managed to: step out in front of a car (luckily didn't have ds with me and the driver stopped...); bang ds's head on the staircase while I was taking him out of his buggy; bang his head on my elbow, FFS, three minutes later while giving him a bye-bye hug at nursery.
NOT a good day, esp for poor ds!

[Titania]

tinytoes it wasnt bad advice at all........its only a recent thing i found out myself!! hope your all not having too much of a disaterous day!?

[Papillon]

so funny to have this thread today.. it has been madness and mayhem on MN today and its the 13th

is that a coincidence

[glitterfairy]

Course not Paps!

[MummyToSteven]

I left my changing bag at the baby massage class resulting in a two hour round trip walk to retrieve it, and I seem to have been bitten by a spider(???) under my arm. So not a very exciting fri the 13th story, but not a good day!

[glitterfairy]

Is it possible to be bitten by a spider???? I always thought they only ate flies!
