It is encouraging feeling rough, but it's sooo tiring and I just don't have the energy for this job! Getting through it but it's just hard, and having to fake it for the kids sake. It's my 3rd baby so am finding it particularly hard on the old body.

Hi to everyone!

Time for a coffee break I think!. No kids for me until after school, but much to do! Having a party on Saturday,well it was supposed to be a little gathering, but I've realised I've got 18 adults and abut 16 kids I think! Done the food shop already this morning, dishwasher cleaning glasses and fridge defrosting as we speak. Now, the only mistery I have is where the hell have all my best towels gone! I did have six, but I can only find 3! I expect they're hidden in a corner of dd's bedroom!

oops - Katy - hello

Morning all

Kay - you're a tease!!! I'm soooo tired every bloomin day atm and I'm off caffine aren't I!! I would give you the cakes I had yesterday to help with your energy but I'm afraid I ate them all myself! - yes, 2 big choc eclairs and another cream cake!!

Strawbs - you'd never had a whisper before?!

Shosh - {{{hugs}}}

Crace - Congrats When are you due? Come and join our Anti Natal thread! I'm only 7+5 atm and can't wait to get to the 12 week mark to make me feel a bit better about it (long story but was convinced I'd lost it recently but scan showed all ok and as I'm so tired now and hungry, I THINK that's a good sign - odd bit of feeling queezy but nothing major)

Mumlove - hope they turned up on time. I left without double pay baby today and good job I did - mum texted saying SO SORRY but they'd just woken up and baby was STILL asleep - this was at 8.45am and she normally gets up at 7am!!

Mo - I always log on to everything when I put laptop on but I rarely get the time to come on before the school run (coz I keep getting up too late....zzzzzzzzzzz)

EM - enjoy

Well, I'm off to toddler group once baby arrives and I've sorted all her stuff (she's staying again tonight)

Pretty please would some of you give me some advice on this thread, maybe Crace would be a good one to help? I'm using a different name just in case

MaureenMLove · 08/11/2007 08:16

Hey crace! Lovely news. Thats two comfy chairs we need now, Looney's pg too!

I'm very tired too, I got up again at 11.30 last night, because my head just won't shut down. Sadly it did shut down eventually and didn't wake up again until 7.20! Cue crazy woman and crazy dd running round in circles not knowing what to do first! She was sat eating porridge whilst I dried her hair and answering the door to mindee! Lucky its only a schoolie today, so he just got himself some juice and plonked himself in front of the TV!

Got loads to do today, so I catcha later. Looneys just switched her pc on, so she'll be in in a minute! (I know, because she's signed into MSN!)

mumlove · 08/11/2007 08:09

I've still got my cold hanging around to.
Waiting for mindees to arrive, they will probably all come at the same time just before I leave for school!!

crace · 08/11/2007 08:08

Popping in after a long time away, sorry. Just returned from a 2weeker in Malaysia en familie which was frankly exhausting but great fun. Came back with worst head cold ever as payment for time off. What joys.

Still have my 2 full timers under 5 and they are keeping me busy.

Here is the biggest news, am pregnant again, almost 11 weeks this time. Scan in 11 days but if I can go by how awful I feel, I think things are ok - we shall see.

Hope all are well, will try and pop on more. It takes all I have to work these days to be honest, energy isn't fab

shoshalite · 08/11/2007 07:32

Intravenous please, I only slept 3.5 hours last night, have a horrible cold, which has set the Fibromyalgia off, and just couldnt sleep!

StrawberryMartini · 08/11/2007 07:29

How about a Wispa? Had one the other day and wondered how I'd got all the way through my 20s and part way through my 30s without them.

Morning all.
