A good night although p1 was awake early as her bed was too hot...

They are quite whiney and short fused but not really surprised! I will be heading out late this afternoon just to get some pumblettes free time.... Just sitting in the car with radio 4 on would be bliss.

Pumble · 04/12/2015 09:24

However if one more person tells me how awful the second bout of chicken pox in siblings in I may hit them...I don't need to know that at the moment!!

OP posts:

magimedi · 04/12/2015 09:27

People do love to pass on bad news, don't they? Twats!

There is wall to wall blue sky & sunshine here & hope you have the same too.

Sitting in the car + radio sounds like an excellent plan.

Pumble · 04/12/2015 20:42

A long night ahead....p1 sobbing and itchy and can't sleep. Thank goodness it's not just me tonight as I haven't managed to make myself able to be in two places at once yet!

OP posts:

magimedi · 04/12/2015 22:44

Poor wee P1 - so pleased to hear that Mr P is home.

Did you get a wee bit of time off?

Pumble · 05/12/2015 15:49

Night not too bad in the end. Cabin fever set in though and p1 very whiney.

P 3 just took 60ml expressed milk in a bottle though . It means it's possible

Girls in garden as v windy but dry so at least they're getting some fresh air.

OP posts:

magimedi · 06/12/2015 11:52

Hoping P1 is a bit better today & that you are making the most of Mr P being at home.

Sending you a PM - don't think you got my last one.

Pumble · 06/12/2015 22:13

P3 full of cold so won't sleep... Just what we need at the moment... Bloody germs can bugger off!

OP posts:

Pumble · 09/12/2015 22:10

An unsettled night ahead....feeling so on edge and could have done without it tonight...

Had P3s six week check today with a crappy GP

OP posts:

Pumble · 10/12/2015 21:28

Go to sleep p3. I'm tired. You're tired. Sleep little one sleep

OP posts:

Pumble · 10/12/2015 22:21

In fact I would like any of the pumblettes to be sleeping soundly right now.

OP posts:

Pumble · 12/12/2015 00:35

I went out for the night without any pumblettes. Left mr P with unsettled children but because I was being picked up by a friend couldn't cancel. It was just what I needed and feel so much better although praying for a quiet night as may have had the odd glass of wine.....!

OP posts:

Pumble · 12/12/2015 23:29

Went to my in laws today. They made s point of taking a photo of everybody but me. Strangely it bloody hurts.

OP posts:

Pumble · 14/12/2015 19:06

Aaaarrrrggghhhh

Feeling totally out of control.....

OP posts:

Pumble · 16/12/2015 23:35

Sooo tired!! One day I will be awake again won't I?!

OP posts:

magimedi · 17/12/2015 23:02

So please to hear you had a night out.

Your in laws are out laws & I really wouldn't worry about them. You share no genes or blood with them.

Yes, one day all this tiredness will vanish ( as long as you don't go for P4 !!!!!!!!!!!!).

Crappy GP = never go & see him (am assuming it was a male) again unless emergency.

How goeth the pox?

As you can see I am back from ' furrin parts'.

We had an amazingly lovely holiday, celebrated DH's 3 score years & ten & (I almost hesitate to tell you) had wall to wall sunshine from 7am until 7pm every day for 10 days. And don't ask about my sun tan!

(((xxx)))

magimedi · 19/12/2015 23:14

Hallo?? Echo???

(((xxx)))

Pumble · 20/12/2015 16:55

So glad you had a great time and not at all jealous......!

Pox round two kicked in here.... Christmas chaos aplenty...!

Just about keeping a smile on my face.... Clingy pumblettes but determined to try a v short run this week...will my pelvic floor hold up...

OP posts:

magimedi · 21/12/2015 10:56

So sorry to hear about round II of the pox. Am assuming it's P2 who now has it & P3 is OK?

Run sounds great - might be tempted to wear a pad if it were me!

Grey & wet here am hoping it will clear soon so I can get a walk in.

Are you home for Christmas or going to your Mum's? (Assume there is no way you'd be going to PILs )

Pumble · 21/12/2015 16:35

Just shouted at pumblettes and sobbed... P3 hasn't stopped screaming for hours, p1 is being rude and stroppy, p2 is constantly shouting and demanding things instantly and I just lost it. I feel awful but I am so fed up with p1 and p2s attitude. And just feeling a little worn down by it all! I should have controlled my emotions more and have apologised but I just couldn't take it anymore, p3s screaming was he final straw

OP posts:

Pumble · 21/12/2015 16:35

Is it too early for gin?!

OP posts:

magimedi · 21/12/2015 22:38

It is never too early for gin.

The Pumblettes will not remember your shouting when they are older & they sound like they deserved it. They are mini people in the making, you are the 'groan' up (my DS's words) & if they push you too far they get a reaction.

Shouting is not bad at all & it sounds as if it was the consequence of their behaviour, which is a lesson they have to learn. They are old enough now ( P1 & P2) to realise that.

I don't think you need to apologise at all.

Hope they all sleep well tonight.

Today is a new day...it will be a brighter and happier day.....

OP posts:

magimedi · 22/12/2015 09:09

Good! Mine will be in about a couple of hours when I have finished the Tesco's shop!

Loins being girded as I type!

Pumble · 23/12/2015 10:23

Hope you survived tesco...are you finished now?

I'm finding Christmas v hard this year. I usually love it but not this year. I feel on edge and want to curl in a ball and cry rather than be part of it all. I am fine and sure it's not PND -it's just bloody Christmas.
