Stepping and chatting, stepping and chatting!

Thought I'd Shiny a new chat thread for us!

There's and , help yourselves!

Both girls in bed by 645 Does anyone want to guess what unearthly hour they will wake us tomorrow?!

I'll have a go at guessing 5 or 6.00am.

I still have 3yr old rampaging around causing chaos.

Toddler's been up since about 5-5:15. ARGH. That's when I noticed abdomen pain. He was manic with tired by the end of swimming and ended up having a four hour nap afterwards (which I had to wake him from -- I'd have done it sooner but I fell asleep, too). I try to keep to the normal bedtime and routine, though, or there will be chaos.

Though to be fair his bedtime seems to have gone from 6:30-7:00 to 7:00-7:30. Unfortunately he's usually a boy with an internal clock and tends to (but not always) wake up around the same time every day no matter what time he goes to bed.

Thank-you for the storage porn thing arti - I am just a little bit in love with Pinterest (where strangely, I'm not Bessie, I am me) and will now spend hours repinning & dreaming up ideas

just put mine up
dd2 cooughing like a sealion.assume im not getting another half decent sleep tonight
im guessing 6am for littlebessies

ds is,however improving...he ate rice with sweetcorna and cheese

little zoo trailing custard snot again

MrScout's just called. He had a Governor's meeting tonight, which is in YOUT near his old job. Anyway, because he's over there he's asked if I wanted a Chinese from the good Chinese place. WAHOO! I haven't had a Chinese since the great food poisoning incident of 2011 (from the local place that we no longer visit thanks to that incident that floored both MrScout & me and MrScout's incident of 2010). I had already started the mince for spag bol so finished cooking the meat and am cooling it down before putting it in the fridge. We'll have it tomorrow instead. And while Toddler was having his dinner I pulled burgers from the freezer and put them into the fridge for tomorrow so I guess we'll have those on Saturday.

Mmmmm, Chinese take-out.

My girls usually wake up at the same time regardless of when they go to bed too scout. They have both had a busy day today, no nap this morning for DD2 as we all went swimming, and DD1 missed her afternoon nap as her & DH went to find a playground (while DD2 & I slept )
I've been feeling really tired lately, coincidentally have regular blood test booked for next week to check my thyroid meds are ok.

of Chinese take-away!

Hope you have a reasonable night zoo DD2 has been fairly snotty today, so I reckon I'll be lucky with 6am!

Slightly disappointed in our take out tonight.

What did you have Scout?

We both had chow mein and rolls but we both said it wasn't as good as we remember.

Mine wake at the same time no matter when they go to bed too. We can even be at a wedding and go to bed at 1am and they will get up normal time

Dh is out tonight so I am amusing myself tonight.

We have the hospital tomorrow so I have just made sure ds's book is in order. We are moving to a different psychologist so we don't know what sort of records she wants us to keep yet. We have met her before though and both liked her (she sat in on the initial sessions) so there is not the anxiety there might be going to a new person. She is going to meet with ds on his own soon to assess him further so I am interested to hear what she has to say.

Shame about the takeaway Scout.

There is a takeaway in the city that we love and I would be if it didn't come up to scratch.

Hope all goes well tomorrow carrots.

I will need to go to bed soon as I have a headache and DD will probably wake us in the night. I have DH home tomorrow so at least I will have a bit of RL support if things get difficult.

The year we were married MrScout had his license taken away (medical) and so on Friday nights, after I collected him from work, we'd stop for a take-away from that place then come home and watch American Idol and eat. It was our mini "date night" in. After he stopped working in YOUT we started getting Chinese locally but after the food poisoning I'm weary of it. MrScout said to me tonight "it got me twice" but as I explained I'm home with a Toddler alone 16-18 hours a day, I can't afford food poisoning.

Just a bit bummed out it wasn't as good as the last time we had it (14 months ago or so).

Good night, AArrrggghh. (What should we call you?)

Night AArrrggghh. I hope you sleep well and tomorrow you are called Yay!

Thanks for the good wished for tomorrow. I am sure it will be fine.

Night Scout
I might return to being Cats tomorrow but will see how it goes.

Night carrots

Tempted to go to bed when A.I. finishes.

Oh, I blessed my friend with clothes ages 12-18 months for her son who is about to move up to that size. I feel really good about it, too.

I have one friend who I particularly like giving ds's outgrown clothes to as her ds is in the all the time. I see her at least 3 times a week and he is always in something that was once ds's. It does make you feel good to see the stuff being used and to know that it has saved them some hard earned cash too.

I am tempted to go to bed too but fear being awake at 4am.

I have only had 1 1/2 cups of today so I am hoping I don't lie awake with my mind racing.

Friend was in my pre-natal class (where we met) then "ran into" each other at swimming class two years ago and have been friends since. Her DD is three weeks younger than Toddler and they are friends in the way toddlers are friends. We also get together regularly with the three kids so I'm sure I'll end up seeing LittleFriend in the clothes (Toddler will also regularly ask about LittleFriend as well as Friend).

I guess she's my first "mummy friend" (man I hate that term).

Most of the people I spend my time with are "Mummy Friends" these days but the friendship builds to much more than just being friends because you have dcs of roughly the same age or whatever. Some of my "Mummy Friends" are my closest friends nowadays.
