Nah!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loving it too much at the moment.

Those stereo moments with the DTs though..... they make me want to put the world on pause occasionally.

Had a fab night out dancing. Saw that IAMF filled the thread and didn't even start a new one

So here it is and if you don't like the title.... well it's almost 3 in the morning. What's a Mars to do?

Good evening ladies,
Hope all your poorly babes are feeling better! Touch wood, mine have been bug free for ages, and that incs the crawling head kind! Day got off to a good start, well, good intentions really, thought I would blitz kids rooms, you know, chuck out the dross, put everything back in its place, stand back and get a smug feeling of satisfaction..............but the phone rang, and it was my dear dear friend who moved to France, she was a little down, so a chat was needed, how quickly that hour flew!Put the phone down, stipped bed number one, phone rings again, SIL from London, well before I knew it another hour had flown by. So then it was all hands to the deck to show how busy I had been before DH came home, amazing what a wiff of Febreeze can do! Boys very naughty tonight, argue argue every bedtime, James shouting he wants a room of his own, I want a room of my own, never mind him. No backup from their father, so action needed, brought them both down at 9.30pm and made them write out their xs tables. Back off to bed, within 5 mins it was thump, scream, thump, back downstairs and made to write I must not be naughty at bedtime, 50 times! This last punishment seems to have done the trick, at 22.10pm I have some peace. Do I ever wana stop the world and get off? Dont ask!

slow reply to bellabelly: (i'm clearly a lightweight part time thoroughly flaky MN-er , this moves FAST round here) - no, it doesn't hurt it just looks like you've got a dolphin's back down your belly when you curl up in the bath - like when you're pg. Anyway i'm looking on any potential op as a free tummy tuck... Keeps me happy anyway.

MarsLady · 08/10/2007 23:53

Yes accordiongirl... you are a true lightweight..........but it's good to see you!

triplets........... maybe OH should get lines as well! lol

IAMF- I can't keep up either, so that makes two of us!

FrumpyStumpy- I'm sure you're a fabulous mother! Honestly, if anyone has said anything, you just ignore them. They don't know what you are going through.
People are on average rude and ignorant of what we go through on a daily basis!

On that note, I saw a lady in the shop a few weeks ago, and her ds who looked about 3 was throwing a bit of a tantrum, and she whispers/shouts (if that makes sense) 'If you don't shut up now you fing twt, I'm going to kick your head in!' . I'm sure you're a much better mom than most hun. My ample bosom is always on standby for you if mars can't get there first.

Momma- I remember some very similar incidents! Happy times, happy times.

Triplets- Hope everything remains settled in your household. Mine are all asleep, and have been for a while now thankfully! I'll be following them to bed in about half an hour because I'm exhausted!

Piximon - All 3 of mine had reflux in the early days, Molly even arched her back and screamed while feeding and then sometimes she would throw it up so strongly it would come out of her nose. They were held by other people at arms length. I found it really , but people didn't know what to do with the 3 of them, so they left it all to me!

I found it got better when they started on baby food, and once I got them off high calorie formula they were a lot better.

Hope you're all well... night everyone! xx

TrickORTripletEm · 09/10/2007 08:58

Morning all!!

Rain,rain,rain!!! My poor little babies are going to get soaked today, I wish that I had learnt to drive!!!

OOhhhh, spooky T.A.T, both have triplets,both named one Molly, both of them suffered from reflux!!! Don't suppose you have a really annoying husband too do you?!!! We'd have the whole set then!!

Hope everyone is well and their little ones are on the mend,I'm off as I have my mother coming for coffee(my weekly punishment)so i expect I'll be a jibbering wreck later and feel that I have been the worst parent alive.

Thanks for the first aid last night much appreciated!!

frumpystumpy · 09/10/2007 11:05

Ah, glad you are better.

TAT, Momma, dingdong et al, thanks girls, I'm just having a wobble that is me and life. I am far too particuar about everything and that stings me on the arse accordingly. I bring it on myself. I can't quite do the relax thing.

DT2 is better, still coughing, but better. Hope everyone has a dry day.

oooggs · 09/10/2007 11:36

good morning all - nothing to add really - just wanted to bookmark where I had read up to as yes the thread is shifting fast

tripletsandtwins · 09/10/2007 14:09

Morning all! (Or afternoon for you I suppose)

TripletEm, glad you're recovering, it's very spooky how similar we're getting, but no, my dh isn't annoying, he can be, but not usually.

Just briefly popping on to say you won't be seeing me much for the next week.

I've got a 6000 word dissertation on 'Psychology of Schizophrenia and its Symptoms' to write for next Monday that I had completely forgotten about.....ooops!

Farewell!

Hold off on the Gaviscon. Read the email! Also........... you should book Nova in as well. Glad his poos are mustardy again!

FG.... you owe me an email from ages ago! Get on with it woman and know that we love you!

T&T........... I feel your pain. See you next week!

Hi ooogs! So where's JuA gone again? Honestly if you don't staple them to the floor they vanish!

I'm in a particularly good mood. I got 3 bookings yesterday including a twin birth! I'm so happy! I love my work!

largeginandbloodpunch · 09/10/2007 17:40

Pass some of the good mood over here Mars, im f*ing miserable. I have a feeling no sleep and a killer bout of hormones are to blame. Im prescribing myself some Vino Blanc and children to bed early

Momma i just love those names, every time i read them i think oooh how sweet. You still sound remarkably chipper with teeny tiny twins, you must be a natural

FG wobble over? Impossible deadlines for impossible chores, we are one in the same i think.

'Psychology of Schizophrenia and its Symptoms'........I think I might be able to help with that , I'm not joking !!! It sounds so, so, so me!

Hi ladies, I'm off to bed soon, LG&T and me are obviously time twins I'm miserable atm and I get killer hormones too I am feeling like retreating from the world at every opportunity, so I will hop into bed, lights out, telly on and try to rest my head from thinking so much.

LG&T, hang on sweetheart, I'll show you mine if you show me yours xxx.

Momma, don't worry about being chipper, just enjoy it. It might be hormones but, most likely, you are just feeling proud of your babes and yourself. And, quite right too! You must have breastmilk of obscenely nutricious calorific content. Send a jug up, LG&T and me will add it to the fruit smoothies

Right, I'm off to do some laundry, set up breakfast, lay out everything we need for the morning in the place we need it and make a cuppa. If I'm lucky, I might have a warm bath. My period came at the weekend, then went, and now its back. My periods are all sixes and sevens. Since I came off the pill they are heavy and light, long and short, come anytime, stop, start, stop, start, painful (sometimes like a serious labour pain that gets me grabbing the nearest thing). I am very fed up with it. My hormones are just the pits. I currently have a crater the size of the moon on my chin, three above my eyebrow, and a few on my chest. I am thirty bloody four. I am (a) young enough to care about having spots, (b) old enough not to have to have them and (c) old enough to want to hang on to the last remaining months/years of semifreshfacedom.

GPs of course smile cynically sympathetically and give me the "that's life" talk.

Bum and tits.

G'night all, sleep tight, and peaceful I hope.

TrickORTripletEm · 09/10/2007 20:29

La..La..Lah....

Evening all!! What a lovely day it's been!!

My book of mantras worked!! After chanting naked in front of a large buddha for ten minuets, the phone rang and my mum cancelled our coffee!! Hoorah!! So I took my lovely little puppy out for a walk and met a charming man(steady ladies)and had a very interesting conversation about lifeand dogs!! Faced my fears and went back to the gym AND didn't eat crap when I got home(got a feeling that's a one day only event)

Mommalove: I love hearing about your DT's.
Hi Oooggs, Hi Mars.

Good evening ladies,
Sounds as though you need a treat Frumpy, we must think of something nice for you! Anyone just watched the prog on channel 4 called bringing up baby? I literally never ever watch tv these days, despite the fact we have a 4 week old 40" new one, chosen by DH looks like a monster in my room. Anyway a very interesting prog, following certain families, inc one with twins, following them this week from birth to 5/6 weeks old. They have chosen a method to look after their babes, one is the 50s approach, one is the 60s and one the 70s. All very different, and so far the winner seems to be the 50s method which is the tough on baby one. To think thats was me, a 50`s babe, naughty mummy!Now I want your opinion on my problem please. Bedtime! It is getting worse as far as the two boys go, I have tried every method going to get them to to go bed and just be quiet! I put them to bed every night, unless its one of my rare nights out, and they are rare. Tonight as I for once wanted to watch that prog I sent them up on their own, asked them nicely just to get themselves ready and into bed, also hoping anyway DH might just offer to do it for once, ha ha! Up they went but the prog was ruined by them carrying on. When it finished I crept up and two were out of bed playing, stuff thrown everywhere, I was livid. I am thinking that at almost 10 I should not be putting them to bed, what do you think? I cannot remember now at what age I stopped putting Matthew up, and just saying that upsets me Something has got to change though as I feel we are spiralling out of control!!
