Children At Play or Who Moved the Cheese

[Admin]

Hello.

Hippo - Pleased you like the comment :) When I get asked why the floor hasn't been washed I give hima look and ask just how many time he thinks SS will allow us to A&E with head injuries before they take the girls away! or If you don't like it do it yourself!

DD1 did well last night, it was me who was bad - she called at 4.30 needing a wee and I wasn't sure if it was her or a dream so I left her she called again at 5 because she was wet and why didn't I come. Luckily I did the layered bedding thing so just stripped off a layer and it was ready again but she came in with us and they woke at 7.30! DD1 went to nursery happy today and only cried for my benefir, her teacher rang as I pulled out the gates to say she was singing and painting [cheeky child]

Brownies sound yummy - I am making boy bait for a dinner party tomorrow evening and not in true posh dinner party style - lasagne!

Hippo - Cazalet is indeedy the cup loving one :)

boybait you are bad, you have made me want lasagne now That might have to be tomorrow night's dinner (aiming for virtuous minestrone tonight).

I am convinced I posted earlier - can't be preggy brain already can it?

Anyway if I remember what I wrote - Star I was in your position only last month so you never know!

Bibi your expertise with names will definitely be called upon if we get that far.

Hippo I am purposefully rubbish at ironing DH's shirts so they go to the dry cleaners as I don't do them right apparently

Just about to post, but dd2 is shouting 'My throat is coming out', so .... bye.

yes, tis me.

erm - mind gone blank so and bye for now.

If my lovely DH asked why something wasn't done he'd be met with the reply, "because YOU'VE not done it." and then probably, "KISS MY ASS!" or even, "GET OUT!" I have no patience for crap like that. Things get done based on a priority level system known only to me.

Too much to do before heading off. I'm in the tread-water mode. I fear I will get nothing done today.

I'd love dp to ask me why the floor hadn't been washed or I hadn't ironed his shirt. I would absolutely LOVE it . Actually I think I would laugh, not go ballistic. Hipps, your hippomate was probably just in a bad mood - but really, putting it on FB is a bit passive aggressive/childish. (I think? Is that what p-a is?)

Star, sorry your stinking period came, perhaps the gods want to offer you a couple of peaceful postnuptial months (seeks silver lining) it'll most likely happen, you're a young un. I, on the other hand am apparently aged wreck but enough of that .

I will get the names all wrong now. Bibi - sorry you are aching over the procedure to come - I too would add my very quiet little voice saying are you sure about it? I understand you have probably talked about it back & forth & uphill & down dale etc etc. Am off to secret spot to look for exciting news.

xx all

Legume - WELCOME HOME!

Oh the cheery whizz of posts on a reliable broadband connection. Oh the comfort of your own space, in what you can now happily regard as your forever house. Nice!!

thanks for the prod ursula

blimey, what a day! aunt,cousin,cousin's 15wk dd, my mum and bro all been for lunch. salad with a puff pastry ham and mozarella tart followed by strawberries, brownies and cream went down well! i'm shattered but took advantage of extra hands so got them to cuddle/play with dcs whilst i cleaned kitchen

ds decided dd wanted 'mummy juice', he whipped my top down and flashed my boob at poor bro!

i'm off to spend some time with ds and cbeebies

oh and thanks for all your lovely comments. judging by short blunt replies to my text messages today, dh still in a mood so tonight's going to be a long one

hopefully see you on the other side with a few more s

You sound exhausted hippo, best go to bed when the children go, so you can catch up on much needed sleep

you're not far wrong there star, just fell asleep cuddling both DCs on the sofa..oops!

i asked dh (via text) if he day was better than yday, 'worse' was his reply. so i told him there were cuddles and brownies waiting for him at home. apparently he'll be happy if he's not snapped at when he gets home. so i did upset him last night. hey ho

'ullo -can you guess who I am?

Hippo My DH would also get a face. When my DC2 was as young as yours, I was still collapsing on the floor in tears as soon as DH came home. Also, the punishing thing the next morning is just not how you make your marriage work. Don't like to pull rank but after 10yrs of marriage, not letting the sun go down on an argument may be a cliché but it is the bloody key to EVERYTHING! Sulking is allowed but it HAS to have a time limit - and that time shrinks with every child you have too. Don't let him keep acting like such a child, it's just not sustainable in family life. Rant over.

If nobody knows who I am I'll tell you that I spent half an hour swooning at wool in Hobbycraft today while my mum chased a tubby chimp-speaking boy all around the shop.

ffs!!! he came home and immediately ate a brownie. i asked if it was nice? apparently, its burnt round the edge. so i told him to not worry about eating anymore because i thought they were the nicest ones i've ever made.
i asked him what's wrong... its because i apparently snapped at him last night and for not ironing a shirt. he doesn't seem to believe me that the first opportunity i had to iron was just before he got home.
i've had a great day today with all my visitors and he hasn't even asked anything about it. and why is it that my mw is phoning me on her day off to find out how i'm doing whereas again, dh hasn't asked
he's out in his shed now and he's told me i won't see him now for the rest of the night

his sulking is the only thing i don't like about him. i really hope the dc don't copy him when they're older

Hippo, they will if you let him. His sulking diminishes your role in the family.

Oh hippo . So sorry DH is being childish and you are making all the efforts to sort it out and him being even more of an unthinking git

DH and I have probably been there and done it, but I totally agree with Stalkings, it just isn't worth the time and energy to keep dragging it on. Now we both say our points, agree that it was a misunderstanding/one of us DH was out of order/both nitpicking through tiredness etc and then draw a line under it. You have SO much sapping your energy atm, and on top of that are physically not well, it has to stop. How, i am not sure without you sounding like a nag if you try and talk, so i would ignore, ignore, ignore. If asked, just say you are too worn down to give a shit about trying to sort it out and you are moving on to the here and now. Hope things improve soon and glad you had a nice day

LOL @ Admin's 'priority level known only to her

I have had 2 achievements today - finally reset the boiler (which was 3hrs 10mins out ) after months of it being wrong and started sorting out wills. We keep talking about it and now i have taken action. Hurrah!

Shiney - are you the real shiney??

oh joy... he's at it again with his fb status

bibi and blueberry are trying to jolly him along
girls, i wouldn't waste your time on him

i'm trying really hard to resist taking the bait. i am not lowering myself to arguing with him via fucking fb

am one step short of giving him a fecking talking to however I know it will just lead him straight here - sorry

you're a better woman than me, I'd have him

I wondered if that was what the status was about so cam on here to check.

considered writing something along the lines of it being rather a rather bad show to air his own issues in public, but thought

ah shit - couldn't resist. am sure i will be a) deleted as a friend, b) banned from your house now, but if my dh DARED (not that he would) put even veiled criticism of me on Fb i would hope my friends would beat him to a pulp.

We would ALBS, but is he not protected by super powers
