good to hear that twinkle

so, FG has a mysterious visitor who we think is mars, tripley is even more hyper than usual due to nicotine withdrawal, chopster and LG&T are having days from hell (still broody LG&T? ) momma is still lovely and serene (in my head anyway!) and pixi is lost in the wild west - is that about it?

Oh help before I go insane, perhaps I have, perhaps its me! Tell me the truth girls. Ok, tonight we got home from Canterbury at 8.20pm, James and Rebecca had a dress rehearsal at the theatre for their show tomorrow. We were told under 10s could be picked up at 7pm, so we did. When I went in Rebecca gave me a hard time, said all her friends were staying until 9pm, I said we had to go, as we had to pick Thomas up and we wouldnt get home until gone 10pm and it was too late, tomorrow night the show doent finish until 9pm so they need some sleep! Got home, made snack for them supper for us. 9.10pm asked them to go to bed, she screams why should she, Thomas locks himself in the bathroom, Harry bawls. I am on the phone to my brother to make arrangements about where he can park nr the theatre as he will take my mum who cant walk far. Harry storms into the kitchen, doesnt know who I am talking too and bawls at me, you had better go upstairs, your daughter needs you, shes crying her heart out! When I got off the phone I went up, talked Tom Tom out of the bathroom, he had James new lego and pulled it to bits. Now James is crying. Go into Becca, sit on her bed and try to reason with her, then as I could smell weey knickers(she is very bad about cleaning herself, even bought her little liners) I said in a quiet voice so the boys didnt hear that she must go in the bathroom, clean herself and put clean pants back on, then go to sleep. She screams at me, hate you hate you, this is followed a a scream from the boys room, Thomas runs out with a huge cut under his left eye, James had throw a wooden rifle at him!! Harry is now at full throttle, blames it all on me and takes the spare duvet and is obviously spending the night down here, is it me?

Frump............even a z bed in the turret would do?

triplets · 14/01/2008 23:04

Oh, btw his blood tests all came back normal! But he has to be referred for further investigation, re change of bowel habit!!

triplets · 14/01/2008 23:05

I was hoping of course that all would be ok, but so wanted him to have a shake up re his alcohol intake! Marriage guidance after 30 years needed girls!

triplets · 14/01/2008 23:07

Feel so bad moaning when poor Oj would give anything for a grumpy healthy husband

triplets · 14/01/2008 23:10

I must go to bed, my ears are ringing with the tinnitus, now I know how Quasimodo felt. Sorry ladies, needed to rant, and somebody is still awake up there whistling!

frumpygrumpy · 14/01/2008 23:10

Oh triplets, its not you. Get a train, a plane or an automobile. I'll meet you halfway with a warm duvet and a warm cuddle. Let him sleep wherever he wants. You get some rest. Soft music in bed to help the tinitus?

triplets · 14/01/2008 23:12

Frumpy, there are times when I think I can`t stand anymore, and wonder what on earth I have done to live with all this, and still be heartbroken about my lovely Matthew xxx

triplets · 14/01/2008 23:15

Last message I promise, I am going to read Cold Comfort Farm, one of my greatest pleasures is too read, sorry for being a pain, night night xxxxx

MarsLady · 14/01/2008 23:21

It's not you honey. It's really really not you.

As to the kids...well they all go through stages like that. Problem is that you have 3 at the same stage at the same time (go figure!)

In short...... THIS TOO WILL PASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And when it does.... enjoy it because the teens aren't far behind!

Did I see Meely?

Good having you back Chops!

IAMF big kisses to you darling.

Twinkle... good news.

Now where is that Lindy and that lovely Millie?

TK..... I think that I should be your chief bridesmaid.

MarsLady · 14/01/2008 23:22

Hi all hope everyone is good, great news on the scan and info twinkle.
I Went to mat unit yesterday for my scan and antinatal, I am 36wks today. Twin a is footling breach and being a pain as won't turn or let twin b move into postion! so I've been booked for another check and scan on the 29th and depending on what that show I'll either be booked in for c-section or induction within a couple of days of that appointment. Also been told if I go into labour b4 hand, I must go in striaght away after phoning and explain its footling breach so they can prepare for scan straight away to check if any movement and incase of c-sec, quite impressed cos she said if I labour quickly they would let me go but if its slow would have to give c-sec as too mush stress on baby. also if my waters go I am to go straight away as the cord could come out first! lol after all this she said hopefully you won't need this next appointment cos I'll have gone into labour by then! The first thing I said when I saw her was I want the babies as soon as I can cos I can't take much more of the pain. Finally when I had my scan DH saw on the scan the estimate of weights for twin a was 4lb14 and b is 5lb4 I know this can be way out but it was nice to know (well done DH for spottin lol) also I thought there would be more difference between each one with what had been sayin before hand.
sorry for dribbling on lol I really must get my back packed

Chopster · 15/01/2008 07:53

expectingkat - there is still hope! Mine were supposed to have been both still ceph at that stage, but they were born breech so must have turned somehow. Spend lots of time with your bum in the air!

Trips, I do hope you got some sleep. It's NOT YOU! It sounds like Harry is having a hard time coping and burying his head in the sand, and we woman just have to get on with it! Can you not dissapear out with a friend for an evening and have a break, leaving him to it for an evening once in a while?

My day ended with be giving up and collapsing into bed at 9! It didn't really improve too much. I decided to walk up the school to pick the kids - kill some time. Got all dressed up (it's a very boden-esque sort of place ascot, full of yummy mummys) looked great in my new coat and boots. Half way there a mahossive hail storm started followed my torrential rain. I arrived looking like a drowned rat.

today should be better, dp's new job are ok with him starting early, so he will be back home to help with teas again. [sick] On the other hand, dd has a temperature and says she feels sick! But, looking on the plus side again, her friend won't be coming round tonight if that's the case - the playdate from hell.

Chopster · 15/01/2008 07:54

oh bugger, that was supposed to say [ grin ], I was talking to dd at the time!

ExpectingKat · 15/01/2008 08:30

Thanx chopster, I am prayin lol its amzin with how little room they seem to have that the do seem spin about! The docters are hopeing more for twin b to boot a out of the way and get in position first, so fingers crossed.
lol got to love some of childrens play friends try as I might there's just some I don't like either (just do my best not to let the kids know this)

TripleyTigger · 15/01/2008 08:48
