Hi all again, hi BB

Dd1 woke up momentarily to be sick , is now back asleep on the sofa. I have created a mess upstairs which I can't face tyding back up , so like you taylormama, I'm having a quick MN moment!

I have pigged out all morning!! I'm on the "munchy" stage of my monthly cycle...world watch out...next week will be ratty, unreasonable witch week!

Right well, better go and do some more xx

tortoise · 16/03/2007 13:16

Luda Poor DD1. Hope she is over it soon.

I haven't done DD's room yet. But have hung more washing out.

Might do the room later after picking DS's up from school.

ludaloo · 16/03/2007 13:21

I hope so...I suspect it is a 24 hour bug type thing, there is one flying around the village at the moment.

yaddayah · 16/03/2007 13:40

hi all sorry not been around, had major family crisis so no flying, no nothing, hope to be back to somewhere normal next week

yadd xx

ludaloo · 16/03/2007 13:56

grouchyoscar · 16/03/2007 14:13

Glory be, you've all been very busy!

Hello to all hope you're doing fine
Big hello to all Newbies
Big cuddle to all los not feeling well
to mums of those los and those Fly ladies who are not feeling 100%

Thinking of you Stacey hope things are OK
Always thinking of Tort shouldbe EHM Jelley Luda laloop and Satin

Grouchy thoughts and musings on FLY lady...smashing concept and it has inspired me to clean up more but don't you feel
A) it's WAY too precriptive?
and
B) feel that there is an assumption that we all live in the house Annette Benning and Kevin Spacey had in American Beauty? I'm awaiting the mission to shine my husband's wrenches in the huge garage.

OK...Grouchy daily drama...Been to see the MS Nurse. seems my continued unremmiting symptoms are being fueled not just by my screwed up central nervous system but by the simple issue is that {{big deep gulp}}

I'M TOO HARD ON MYSELF AND I DON'T TAKE A BREAK AND I'M TAKING TOO MUCH ON AND I DON'T EVER RELAX.

There, I said it now.

So I'm supposed to take it easy, stop taking everything on my shoulders and coping alone. Stop thinking I have to be everything to all people as I'm ending up being nothing to no one.

So I thought it better to share it. Might not be the right place but I hope you understand.

Hey All!

I was out the house by 9am this morning back for approx 1 hour at 1145 & then back just after 2. Therefore not done much flying. Promised my neighbours Mum & dad next time the visited to make them a banana loaf in breadmaker. This is cooking at moment as I noticed they arrived at some point thif afternoon. We are flying to Scotland tomorrow & she is feeding our cats for us so I can't avoid making the loaf.
Ellie is in too everything & her need to touch everything she shouldn't has increased. So I now have eyes int he back of my head, just like my mum

satinshoes · 16/03/2007 16:34

forgot to say earlier that jelley is very clever. she is the only one who ever worked out that my nickname was a flylady pun

shouldbedoingthehousework · 16/03/2007 16:50

EHM I don't have any pink PJ's (am rather of ivor who does though!)
I did pretty well this morning and achieved most of what I wanted to - then have slobbed about and snacked on junk food all afternoon

shouldbedoingthehousework · 16/03/2007 16:52

Mhamai · 16/03/2007 18:17
