Hellloooo

Missed your kick up the bum Yommy, I've not done anything! Hope the man flu is better. I'm still coughing, but mostly at night, when I lie down in bed my throat is tickly, very annoying.

Had a good weekend here, the dds went to stay at my parents saturday night so I took ds out with my friend in the afternoon. Had a lovely time at a soft play thing and then dinner at a Mexican restaurant- was a lovely treat. Picked the girls up yesterday and was cooked a yummy roast by my mum. So basically I haven't cooked all weekend!

Got dd1 off today as she said she had tummy ache, and there is a bug doing the round at school, but she's been fine.

Hope you are all ok xx

YommyMommy · 01/02/2010 20:42

Evening Ladies,

Blissa your weekend sounds great! Could really do with a quiet one . Poor DD, hope she is feeling better tonight and enjoyed her wee day off of school.

Also had a nice weekend here, never done anything too special, just nice to spend time with the family

Booked DS b'day party today - can;t really be bothered with the hassle, that sounds terrible doesn't it! We couldn;t get the local community centre so have to go to one further into town, so it will be more hassle getting the food there, etc!!! Well it will keep DS happy and I guess thats the main thing!!

Going to head to bed, feeling really tired tonight! Done another walk in the park this evening :D Although I haven;t lost any weight this week, dispite being very good and not eating too much!

I can here the pitter patter of tiny feet upstairs to better go see what happening!

Hope you are all well

blissa · 03/02/2010 13:33

When's the party Yommy? I always feel the same before the dcs birthday parties- I just want them over with! Hope it goes well.

Still have dd1 off. I sent her into school yesterday after she had been fine on monday, and got a phone call at 9.20 to go and pick her up! She keeps saying her tummy hurts, but she's not been sick and isn't poorly. Hopefully she'll go back tomorrow.

Hope everyone is ok

Love this new one . Will be using that a lot

YommyMommy · 03/02/2010 15:42

Ha Blissa,

Also love the face!!!

Poor DD, I hope she feels better soon! What age is she?? Do you think there is something else going on thats making her upset or worried at school??

Snowing again for us! Its starting to land, but not too heavy!!!

DS's party is on the 20th Blissa, his birthday is on th 14th, but DH will be away so having the party once he gets back. Ordered the party stuff so just need to worry about food now. Thats the bit I hate!!!!

Been to the soft play today so my boys are shattered. DS2 is having a nap n DS1 is chilling watching Tom & Jerry! I am enjoying cuppa with kitkat, lol!!

Hope everyone else is well, wherever you all are! lol!

blissa · 05/02/2010 13:09

Dd1 is 8 Yommy, I asked her if there was anything wrong at school and she said no, just that her tummy hurt. Anyway, she went back yesterday and has been fine.

So nice to have had a couple of mornings to myself. My best friend is coming over tonight, so am looking forward to catching up. Dp is going out, I think it will do him good, he hasn't had a night out in ages.

I always do too much food for parties, no matter how much I try and cut back. Are you playing games, or do you have an entertainer coming?

YommyMommy · 07/02/2010 15:14

Afternoon Ladies,

How are you all??? I am going to eat myself to death today, lol! Just having one of those days!!! I NEED MORE CHOCOLATE!!! (Eek face)

How did your night go with your friend Blissa?? I had one of thoes nights last night! Was great, but I am paying for it today! Not seen my friend in over a year as she moved away a few years ago - we sat up til 3 talking and my DS was back up at 7!!! lol! Soooo looking forward to bed time tonight! Did DP enjoy his night out too???

We are having a lazy day today, DH gone back to work through the week so can;t even be bothered cooking sunday dinner! Not sure what I am going to make - not sure if I can be bothered being creative or something easy in the over!

Hope you are all having a nice weekend?? I have to admit, that although i;m tired today I am feeling the most positive than I have in a few days! Not sure what was the matter with me - just feeling really down in the dumps and not being able to snap out of it! I hate the way it just seems to hang over head!!! Anyway, hopefully it has lifted today and stays away!!

x x x

YommyMommy · 07/02/2010 20:31

I have officially eaten WAY too much today!!! . Boys are finally in bed! Been a breaking point a few times with them today - need sleep!

I let DS1 stay up half an hour later than his brother, but he just starts jumping around like a loony!! I feel so bad as I feel like most of my attention/time is taken up with my very demanding DS2, I try to sit on the floor and play with them together, but DS1 isn't interested, he just wants to do his own thing. Any ideas on how I can engage them both together?? DS1 has never really been that interesed in DS2 and rarly shows him any attention - infact he spends most of his time ignoring him I know he must feel pushed out, but I thought he would have like him a little more by now! .

Need to get to bed before I eat anything else! lol! Going to watch the devil wears prada.

Goodnight all x x x

Just seeing the Haiti Song - too sad - and I think I have problems

blissa · 08/02/2010 11:17

Morning Yommy

Good to hear you had a more positive day yesterday. I get days like that where you just want to eat and eat!

Friday night was a bit pants tbh. My friend doesn't drive so I picked her up and brought her back here, and the plan was her dh would pick her up when he was going home after his night out. But he was in a bad mood and kept phoning her every 20 mins and ended up picking her up at 9.30. So my night of nattering and drinking was cut very short to say the least!

What's the age gap between the boys? I have always struggled to divide my time between my dcs. When it was just dd1 and 2 I could play with dd1 when dd2 was napping, but now it's hard. The girls understand when I say I am doing such and such with one of them, but ds still comes along and spoils it for them, unless I let him on the wii!

blissa · 08/02/2010 11:23

Had a busy weekend here. A couple of friends came over on Saturday, and then it was my mums birthday yesterday so we all went over there for a roast.

Just trying to get caught up on the housework and washing now, oh joy!

xx

YommyMommy · 08/02/2010 12:54

Hey Blissa,

Thats a shame about your night with your friend getting cut short! MEN!!!! Although sounds like Sat and Sunday made up for it

I am having a crappy day in the house! e were just about to head down to the park when DS1's friends came to the door so ofcourse he wanted to just go out to play. I took DS1 out to play, but he just keeps crying! My stress levels are just about through the roof with him! I brought him in and just put him to bed! He has gone over for a nap just now - so think I will have to take them down the park later just to get out of the house and let him have some fun! Cabin fever is setting in!!!

Well at least DS1 is having fun

Hoep you are all well x x x

YommyMommy · 09/02/2010 16:49

Major breakthrough today

Will be on to tell you all about it later once DS have gone to bed and I have time to explain!!

If anyone is readying - hope you are well x x x

YommyMommy · 11/02/2010 20:55

Evening Ladies,

Has everyone deserted the anxiety club Had a pretty anxious day today, so not been out much, just to the bank and even that was hard work! I am due on, and putting it down to that and that is making me feel okay about it. Bet you are all now, lol!

Are all your kids on half term too?? My DS has been off all week, and the weather has been fab, but too bloody cold! Roll on summer time!!

Had a bit of a drama the other night when I had a burst pipe n it flooded my kitchen!! Bloody nightmare - these things always happen to me when DH is at work! Half of my street were in trying to help because I didn't even know how to turn my water off lol! Anyway, got it all sorted now, thank goodness!

Think i;m going to have a busy today tomorrow trying to get last odds n sods for DS b'day on sunday! Just want to try to get him a few star wars figures to put in with his stuff! I can;t wait to see his wee face!! Can;t believe my baby is going to be 4 !! I'm going to miss my little boy when he;s all grown up! won;t think about that just now!!

Anyway - hope all is well with everyone!

blissa · 13/02/2010 13:05

Sorry I haven't been around this week Yommy, not sure where everyone else is, although I've seen Greyskull has been busy trying to go about selling her beautiful cakes.

I've had a bit of a crappy week and felt really bad on thursday too, and yesterday I just felt exhausted as I'd worked myself up so much. Feeling better anx wise today- just feel a bit rough as I had a bit too much to drink last night!

What a nightmare with your burst pipe! I wouldn't have a clue how to turn our water off either!

Dcs are on half term next week, hope the weather is ok, but it is so cold. I really want to see the sun now.

Hope ds has a wonderful birthday tomorrow. 4 years has flown hasn't it! Ds still seems so little. He had his swine flu jab this morning and was so brave. He's out with dp atm, so he seems fine.

YommyMommy · 13/02/2010 22:09

Hey Blissa,

Nice to have you back

Sorry to hear you have had a crappy week too! Must be something in the air over Britain, lol! And poor DS, hope he is still feeling okay! I still haven't heard anything about jabs yet, but am def going to get them done!

Lucky you having a hangover! lol! I am still to hung up on having to be in control all the time to have a good drink Could do with one! I have been feeling better anx wise today too, been out most of the day with the boys at the park and mcds for our lunch.

Goign to bed now - so excited about DS birthday, lol! My super x girfriend is on so think I will watch that on 4plus1.

Goodnight! Hope you get a good sleep, get rid of the hangover! x x x

blissa · 14/02/2010 19:51

Happy birthday to your ds Yommy. It's just dawned on me that his birthday is on Valentines day! Hope you've all had a lovely day.

Friday was the first time I have been drunk in well over a year, and I didn't really enjoy it. I didn't drink any more than I usually do, but I hadn't eaten and so it all went to my head.

Feeling absolutely stuffed, dp cooked a fry up this morning and then we have had a big roast this evening. Trying to get the dcs to bed- ds wanted to sleep with dd1, but they are all messing around!

xx

YommyMommy · 14/02/2010 21:01

Evening Blissa,

Glad you have had a nice day! I have been eating like a pig again today too! lol! Had a chinese tonight, my DH is still at work so meal for one, lol!! Feel like I have put on so much weight in the past 2 weeks! Need to start all over again tomorrow! Just have no motivation to stop eating and start working out!

DS had a fab b'day - thanks!!! They are both in bed now. DS is wanting to go to teso tomorrow n buy some more starwars figures. He got for his b;day and had been playing with them all day!!

Hope you enjoy half term with the kids! My DS goes back to nursery on tues! Roll on! :D

Goodnight x x x

YommyMommy · 16/02/2010 10:03

Morning Girls,

Hope you are all enjoying the half term breaks!!! My DS just went back to nursery today, they have a brand new nursery and it looks fab!

I have having a bit of crappy day today - feeling really anxious when I dropped DS off at nursery! I just hate feeling like this - really! I am so fed up with it now as its been going on so flaming long!!! I am in two minds about going back to my GP as there isn;t much more she can do for me! What do you think??? I am feeling pretty tired today and due on my period within next few day, I know I always feel worse on the run up so have been putting it down to that, but its just seems to be really getting to me the past few days!!! Very Hard!

ANyway, hope everyone else is feeling well!

blissa · 16/02/2010 17:02

Hey Yommy, hope you are feeling ok now. Do you think a chat with your gp will help? I can't remember if you've had any counselling? Sorry that sounds really bad doesn't it .

Hope ds had a good day at nursery. It's been raining all day here. Just about to make pancakes for tea, I love pancake day!

xx

YommyMommy · 16/02/2010 20:43

Thanks Blissa,

I am feeling better now - Managed to make it into town n get new shoes for DS! Who knows what tomorrow will bring! DH is home tomorrow, so that will make me a little calmer!

I have had counselling, but it hasn;t really helped much as I never really clicked with either of them. Not sure if talking to the GP will help, just want her to give me a quick fix, but I know that doesn;t happen!!

DS had fun at nursery, he was a bit upset when he came out as they were having some quite time when they can only speak if they put their thumbs up and he was speaking when they shouldn;t have been, lol, so he got into trouble! Wee soul!!

Looks like its only me n you now Blissa, lol! Sorry nipping your ear, lol! x x x

blissa · 19/02/2010 15:34

How are you doing Yommy? Well done for getting into town! Hope you are having fun having dh home.

My friend had all 3 dcs last night (mad woman!) so dp and I went out for the first time in ages. We had a lovely meal. Got 3 very tired dcs now, they had a late night and a early morning. Ds is especially grumpy struggling- early night for him me thinks!

It does look like it's just the 2 of us doesn't it?! Hope you don't get bored of me !

YommyMommy · 21/02/2010 20:28

Evening Blissa,

How are you?? Sorry ot been on for a few days - had DS party yesterday - went really well, but was glad to have it over with

Your night out woth DP sounds like Blissa - know how hard it is to get a night together with just the 2 kids - never ming 3, lol! After you have more than one no one offers to take them anymore - wonder why that is???

I am really enjoying having DH home, anxiety levels have subsided a bit! Its just takes the stress off having him here to help out! Not that he does much around the house . But he is good with DS - most of the time!

Are all your DC tucked up in bed now?? Mine are Think I am going to have an early one too - going to watch the wedding singer - loving the Adam Sandler season on 5 at the moment - really like him!

Well glad you are at least sticking around for a chat! Wonder why everyone else has dumped us, lol! Can only hope its because they are feeling better

Hope you are having a nice evening. Back to the okd routine tomorrow! x x x

YommyMommy · 25/02/2010 12:23

Hey Blissa,

Hope ur okay!!

We are totally snowed in today! Its terrible! lol! I have no bread or baby milk!! Guess it could b worse!! lol!

DS1 has a friend over to paly so thats keeping him occupied, DS2 is beginning to go a little stir crazy along with me! Been snowing since 4 yesterday morning and still coming down really heavy! No cars have been able to get out of my street thismorning!

I have been feeling much better this week - anxiety wise! Felt really paniced on monday morning, but don;t know what brought that on! it past quickly and the rest of the day was okay!

Going to help out with DS nursery tomorrow (if the snow clears) really looking forward to it! :D

Hope all is well with you - and anyone else who might be lurking x x x

blissa · 25/02/2010 14:02

Hi Yommy, sorry I've not been around.

I'm glad that ds party went well.

Poor you being snowed in! I've been moaning about all the rain that we've had here, but I'm glad we haven't had any more snow. Is there any way of you getting out to the shop?Is dh still home?

Good to hear you've been feeling ok. I've not been too bad either. Has been nice getting the dcs back to school and back into a rountine.

Enjoy tomorrow at nursery (if you get there!)
