d'y ever wonder when u will feel human again?

[Meeely2]

hows that girls?

Ah yes............we're just out the other side of that and now they actually can do most things themselves.

Patience...... more patience and just a little more patience! Sorry. That's all I've got (oh and vodka)

vodka at 8am! mars you naughty lady!

Traa Laahh!!!
I did it!!! Had all my hair chopped off, no dx3 home sick and my hair looks fab,fab,fab!! Did I mention it was fab?!!! Had a bit of a wobble when the hairdresser asked me to feel the length at the back before she had shown me what she had done, but a large deep breath cooled me down!!!
F.G. So glad you are still going, your kids will love it, so what if they get the fidgets, at least they will be having fun at the same time!!!
Hope you are all having a good day, I'm off to do some pouting in the mirror!!

So tripEm... how does your hair look?

Well, first of all let me tell you that I made a lovely collage for my hairdresser made up of about eight different styles that had been cut out of a magazine!!! Such a swot and then said I want it like all of those please!!!!! I don't know why she says she hates doing my hair, I think thats quite reasonable!!
So anyway,it went from halfway down my back(too much hassle) to a short bob cut into the jawline(not a posh bob)with a cute swept over fringe. Looks good now, but don't know if it will look the same tomorrow!! And I've got my real hair colour back, I had fogotton I was dark haired!!!

Oh i forgot to say the reason I am so releaved is that I have always had a slightly round face and was worried that if I cut my hair short I might end up looking like one of the Krankies!!!!!{grin]

AHH! How do you expect me to keep up with this thread? I'm just a humble mother! I may as well just give up! I haven't even been away for that long, did you miss me? [feeling unloved emotion]

Here goes my miserable attempt to catch up:

FG.... congrats on the prize, I hope you enjoy it

LG&T, You're stories cheer me up! You're dts sound fab!

Mars, I'm glad you're better... are you salsa-ing yet?

TripletEm, that sounds fabulous! Any chance of a pic?

Meeely, no advice but I can sympathise. I've given up trying to do things for dts, it saves lots of arguements in the long-run, I do get slightly frustrated by it all though- especially when we're in a rush!

Triplets, I hope you do get a chance for a new beginning, I wish you all the best.

Well, I did warn you it was a miserable attempt! Hope you're all well!

I've had a very eventful week, I think I forgot to tell you that I have told dh that I am not going to New Zealand with him, I decided that I wouldn't cope, and, as somebody said on my other thread, a happy mom = happy children. I'm very proud of myself because I finally said no to something my dh asked. I normally cave in - I'm a bit insecure in saying no to people. He was a bit upset, but he didn't argue my decision - think he's a bit scared or my pregnancy hormones!

Anyway, pregnancy wise, this has been the most dramatic week so far. I won't go into details because I've already posted the story somewhere else, but I do have a valid reason for not posting! Babies are fine though thankfully.

just read thread & now no time to post - back after bedtime

Hello all, hope you are all well. Mars told me to check in. I'm afraid I haven't really been posting too much at the moment.
Feeling a bit low about various dt related things, in particular the dreaded potty training.
Anyway, I will try and pop in more, but am trying to limit my time on MN, as I have realised that it is just another way of not spending time with my dcs who are driving me mad atm

Overrun, we miss you! Don't stay away, I was just stomping up the stairs to post "my kids are driving me bonkers, my kids are driving me bonkers, my kids are driving me B O N K E R S". Stay with us. We'll get bonkers together

Mars, I'm going to order a lot of booze from Tesco. Then I'll ask DP about crashing with a family of S E V E N, including DTs I think it would do us all good

Not ignoring everyone else, will be back later......

LADIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't worry if you can't keep up with the thread.... just be part of it! We miss each other when we don't post. Even if it's a simple.... I feel crap today or a life has never been so good!

Am I salsa-ing? Is the Pope Catholic I say? lol

Only illness stopped me dancing and that was just last Thursday. You better believe I was out dancing on Saturday (all dosed up).

Spoke to a lovely twin mum today who I've told to pop her head in. So if she shows.... be nice. Momma you're not new anymore, nor you Merlypuss.... so shove up and let the new girl have a seat.

Oh look at the time. I've tea to put on the table, another twin mum to meet and looky looky! It's Thursday. Salsa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi again!! No..no..no..no!!!! I will NOT be posting a photo too shy,maybe in a million years time folks!!!
Big drama, Mo wouldn't come in the house when she got home from school today because my hair is short!! She said she dosen't like me or my hairanymore and hasn't spoken to me all night!!! I told her it was tough!!(then had a little sob in the bathroom.God kids know where to hit you don't they?!!)
Hi,to those that I don't know yet
Mommalove: I sat on a giant green pea today{grin]
T.A.T:Yes I missed you{smile]
Oooggs: where have you been?!!!
FG: still at your prize!!!
Mars; enjoy your salsa

Mommalove:
T.A.T:
don't you just hate it when that happens?!!!!

Oh FG congrats on winning the prize. The O2 is about oh 20 mins drive from me, so if you don't quite fancy 7 at Mars' there's always 6 and a bit at mine.

TripletEm glad the hair cut went well. Since I started breeding having children 5 years ago I've averaged one hair appt a year. It always grows down to my bum before I stagger back for them to crop it up to my shoulders and so I begin again. I need a makeover.

Triplets I completely understand the need you have to move house and wish you so much luck that it goes well and as speedily as you wish.

I've had a shit messy day today. Dh cooked last night (v rare event, it's usually take-away if I refuse to cook) and I think he poisoned us. My mum, DS1 and I all had upset stomachs today. Unfortunately DS1's decided to materialise while he was playing in his bedroom. He was too embarrassed to tell me so changed clothes and tried to clean himself up, of course that involved sitting on the carpet, "oops I seem to have put poo on the carpet let me just move" and so on. I came upstairs to put DT1 for her nap and the smell hit me halfway up. Then I was confronted by DS1 in changed clothes playing happily as though there wasn't a tower of used filthy wipes next to him and a smell like the bog of eternal stench in the film Labyrinth. Lovely.
Every time I looked at one of the DTs they filled a nappy, thanks. DD1 decided to get in on the act and soiled her knickers too. I'm so glad I have a carpet cleaner.

Oh pixi, much love to you sweetheart. Just what you don't need. What time can you crawl into bed and quiver under the duvet tonight? I hope it passes quickly xxx.

TAT, well done. My gut feeling was that a move to NZ was a tall order. I just didn't feel I should throw in my tuppence worth. Link us to your thread so we can catch up on your/your babies health......

Em, aw I understand that feeling of "I don't know you anymore" now you've had a haircut. Age 20+, I was to meet my mum for lunch. I wandered along the busy pavement to her work and she wandered towards me. I saw a face I thought I should know but did the smile that says "I'm being polite but Who The F are you". She had had her shoulder length bob cut into a shortie. I was majorly shocked and wished I'd been prepared. It was beautiful but it took me time to get my head in the right place. It will come. Stay strong. I'm sure you do look gorgeous. And.......don't worry if you wash and dry it tomorrow and can't get it right and wish you'd never done it. I've been there and after a few days or (max) a week, it will be ok again, I cross my heart. xxxx

spend a moment to send this mummy some strength and take an arse kick into perspective (mainly me!) here

Thanks Frumpy!

this is the thread - it's a busy thread, so it might be way down

Pixi, how lovely, I notice how your dh isn't ill! Always happens that way doesn't it? My dh couldn't cook to save his life, he can even burn microwave meals! Hope everything clears up soon. {{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}

Got to run Ben has just strated throwing a tantrum about somehtign..........

Well, I was just popping in to say thanks F.G (Thanks F.G.)and to let you know that to make matters worse a big spot has appeared on my nose,but after seeing that thread please make it noted that 'Foot' and 'Arse' have now come in contact with each other. Very upsetting.

Em, my foot and arse are together also. Join me in hopping around tonight .

Do you have a blemish stick thing? I got a Clinique sample and it nips like hell but does seem to reduce the swelling and time you have the spot a bit. I get spots. Arse. I'm thirty bloody four, and not far off thirty bloody five. I should be enjoying the last days of clinging on to the bits above the sags. Not lifting the sags to investigate the spots. and hmmmmmm

I will pop in tomorrow sometime. The end of this thread is near. You know the rules.

It must begin "D'y ever wonder......"

And it must not begin "D'ya"

I am a fussy cow.

Cheerio F.G!! {grin]

evening ladies, fg glad you are going for your prize, you will love it pixi hope you are all feeling better now and everyone else, please try not to post so much when I'm at work, I can't keep up

I am really struggling at the mo, need some sage advice from you guys. PILs as some of you may remember have been a bit of a problem in the past...they are currently sharing childcare with my parents for 2 days a week - mine do 2 days one week they do the other. They won't come to us, fell more comfortable in their own home, have another granddaughter to take to school etc. This means DTs have to go to them for 1 or 2 nights every other week, they don't sleep so well, have to fit in with care of the other granddaughter and come back exhausted, grumpy and out of routine (not routine as such, but boundaries blurred etc) and their cousin frequently has time off school whilst they are there so she can be with them, which I feel is wrong (and PILs and SIL are primary teachers, so doubly bad )whereas my parents drive 100 miles to look after them, do nothing else for 2-3 days, then drive 100 miles back again. My instinct is to put DTs in nursery full time so they have consistency through the week, but this is something I had tried to avoid, wanting them to have contact with grandparents etc. The alternative is packing in work again, and I've not been back that long! Any thoughts?

dman, took so long to write all that you've gone and filled the thread up
