June mummies '05 thread 8 -The one with where they get EVERYWHERE!

[katzg]

one new thread as requested

hope the title meants with approval

Giddy - think SFX has it right, giving birth doesn't make you a mother. The world of difference between the woman who gave birth to you, and the mother that you are to your family is proof of that. How awful for you.

Can't post now - dh has his sharp knife and screwdrivers out and is doing something to the tv. Handy Andy he aint!

Giddy-Can't add anything that hasn't been said already,but please vent as much as you want.
No chocolate here so I'll have a wine gum(or 2) in your honour instead!

Hi everyone. I wish I could keep up with this thread, but not a chance!

Giddy (formerly Lynny I think?) what a nasty nasty excuse for a mother. Thought mine was a bit neglectful, but nothing like your story. It's amazing and I mean AMAZING -- that you are a sane stable mother to your kids. Wow! Some people shouldn't have children.

Everyone else -- Hello! I do miss you guys, but I'm too busy at work to even attempt to catch up. But I lurk every now and then. Hope you are all well.

Thought I'd come on and say hello.
I miss chatting to you all but life is just a bit full on at the moment.
Hope all is going well with the lovely babes. xxx

Aww hello Welshie and Uwila. You are missed, but glad everything is OK.
Giddy - Tea made a fabulous post to you and I totally agree with everything she said!
Also agree with SFX that you are totally better off with this woman OUT OF YOUR LIFE. And you need to tell your brother that....
You have come so far. Don't let her spoil it.
And as much as you love your brother, don't let him spoil it either. You need to be honest with him sooner rather than later.
Thinking of you.
Well I hae to rescue dd2 who has managed to get under the dining table and will be whacking her head on chair legs any minute. The places she gets to honestly!

Afternoon ladies

Sneaking on as it's lunch time blimey it's abit quiet on here today...

Uwila / Welshie - hiya, glad to see you're both still lurking, keep popping in when you get the chance

Well we had the worst night for ages last night - hope it's not a sign of things to come - dd awake - wide awake! at 3.30am and not back to sleep again until 6.30 - and dh and I are up at 6.45 arrrhhhhh! only saving grace is that the girl I'm taking over from isn't in today so I don't have to worry about concentrating .

Katz have you persuaded dh on the buggy yet?

2Happy - did the tv survive dh's handyman's antics last night?

Sky - he he he at dd2 crawling under the table. Our dd gets herself wedged under the sofa all the time in her valliant crawling attempts that see her sliding backwards accross the room

Big hello to everyone else, hope you're all having fab days and are too busy to post Catch you later, x

Hello.

Just a quickie as I've got a problem with a glaring screen and don't know how to fix it-not too good on the old eye balls!

Giddy-I could just eat a Curly wurly now.Haven't had one for years,but love 'em.
Glad your dh is coming home tonight-have a lovely evening.
Your pics are beautiful and I've just seen Trib's latest pic too-what a smiler!
Did you like Oscar's dickie bow?.

Must dash-really getting peed off with the screen.Computers eh?

All the babies are gorgeous but I have to agree that Baby Bubbaloo is the best dressed and looks such a charmer.
Off to see the upated photos in a min.
Giddy - Not attention seeking or any such rot at all. I hae said it before and I will say it again I don't know how you do it. at your ex cancelling dd1's weekends with him. Why is he able to cancel his first born like that esp when their baby isn't even born yet??? Am I the only one who thinks that is totally out of order?
Tea - Sorry about the sleep last night You must be knackered. Lol at your dd wedged under the sofa too. I can see that now. Dd2's fave place to be is under the coffee table that holds the tv and video etc as there are SO many wires under there for her to play with . I can only get her out by dragging her across the floor. She loves all wires. Tinker.
Right off for now.

Hear Hear, Skyler.

Sigh. Have added ds's photo to website, now waiting nervously to see if the computer-gremlin that seems to permanently follow me around is going to strike again. If the site crashes you know who's fault it was. Again.

good morning all

feel much better after a more restfull and quiet night. dd also a lot more relaxed today.
weaning seems stuck, dd is mostly just taking fruit, and porridge. she seems very keen on eating our food so pasta with light tomato sauce will be her next finger food. i think she will eat better as she learns to feed herself.
despite the huge fuss and general misery, no teeth, altough the whites are clearly visible just under the gums.

hope you have a good day, i am fed up with the weather, this grey damp misery is getting me down

Hi All-
Sorry for going AWOL, I just got too much at my plate. It has been hard to admit, but it is true. I finally really panicked and went to see a doctor. I was hoping she would give me some pink pills that makes all better. She had other plans,though... She told me a need two weeks of rest. Never thought I could actually do it, but nothing like doctors orders. I am home today, and I can't belive how tired I am.

Giddy - you are a super woman in my books! I feel such a failure to claim defeat when my life is soooo much easier than yours! May all the good fortune come your way!

Sfx - I just thought I'll share with you that my ds is the hardest thing to eat at home, but he eats like a 2 year old at nursery! So me thinks, that he just know that when boobs are around the can hold off on the solids.... Have you tested to see if he eats better when you are not around? Also, he definetely is much more willing to eat something that he can eat himself, than anything spoon fed... He will eat tost with passion, but I'm still afraid to give him too much wheat...

Tea - Hope you have a better nice of sleep

Skyler - when is the big moving day?

Hello
We move out of this house on the 3rd of Feb and move into the new one properly on the 17th.
Lua - Hope you are OK and are getting the advised rest. Take care of yourself.
I totally agree with the weaning thing that dd2 knows when the boobies are around and would much rather b/feed than eat food sometimes. She feeds much better when dh is feeding her although she has recently got much better with me which is a relief. I have to say she has a lot of finger foods in addition to the purees as she does prefer to feed herself. She has bits of soggy shredded wheat and chunks of veggies and fruit and toast, cheese and sandwiches as well as rice cakes which she loves. I hated weaning at the start but we have definately turned a corner there. Just as well something is going right as she was up every two hours AGAIN last night and that was with Medised administered too . Yawn yawn.
On that note I am off to make a cup of tea. I am a bit low about the impending move as although I am desperate to be closer to my Mum and family there will be lots I miss about here. There is also the whole meeting people saga and having to put myself out there so I need to get the energy for that. I do have a friend who moved there from here though and spoke to her last night and our house is round the corner from hers which will be really good. She did say though that the camp is really quiet and the preschool is not as good as she had hoped and the toddler group is a bit run down so........didn't sound that happy really and I just thought oh no that will be me in a months time. Never mind. I am sure it will be better when I get there and most of my friends have gone from here now so I feel it is time to move on. Can't wait to see my family too .

hi all .
sorry i havent been on here for a while , i am having a rough time with things. i have taken dd1 out of school due to bullying and the school making her depressed. its tough, they arent happy especially the head because she is going to be in big sh*t but i dont give a damn . my daughter is so with drawn at the moment and i feel that they have let her down so much . i couldnt keep sending her they were doing nothing.
me and partner had a big fight at the weekend . he went out saturday night and i found some messages on his phone . i was messing about with him due to him being really nice and i joked about him having an affair. shock horror when i find a message from a mutual friend of ours saying "YOU KNOW I WONT SAY ANYTHING"
ABSOLUTLY DEVASTATED , COMPLETELY JUMPED THE GUN .my problem was that he lied to me about the whole evening but its a very long story so ill spare you

dd3 is a diamond. very grizzly due to her teeth , clingy and whiny but she is so cute. no teeth and no crawling but i absolutly love her to bits .

will have to catch up when i have a spare moment but for now thats me
love to all x

hi mumma it sounds like you are having a hard time.
i am sorry your lovely girl is having such an awful problem, i fully understand your desire to protect her. have you thought of formally writing to the school? i am sure someone else here on MN will be able to give you better advice but maybe try and get professional help for your girl. a formal assessment can help your case with school and LEA.

my dd id having trouble with her teeth as well and honestly after a few too many sleepless nights my patience and tolerance was thin to say the least. but like you say the are our lovely babies and we just get on with it.

i hope you sort things out with your dh, last thing you need now, take care.

giddy - oh yes spring, i live near Kew gardens and practically lived there all summer, its a great place for dd and she can enjoy it more this summer , toddling along the grass instead of small flat.

oh sfxmum i have done all that hun, the school is peed now though as they havent done anything but that isnt my problem , let them get in sh*t in my opinion , my daughter is all i care about right now .
dp and i are sorting things out but with everything else we dont seem to have a spare second to talk .he gone out tonight and ill be ready for collapsing hen he gets home !

like you say we do just get on with things ! thanks again xx

Muma3 - just read your other thread. Broken arm If the school can't sort it then you did the right thing to take her out. Your daughter is your priority, whereas they only seem to be caring about how they appear. Hope it works out ok for you

Evening ladies

Had my phone call re the home working, but don't think I'll follow it through They want you to take the product yourself, which is fine but it's meal replacements and I'm perfectly happy with WW - if I can loose weight following WW and have 3 meals a day why would I want to have only 1 meal and two liquid meals?? Also why do I only make a successful salesperson if I use the products?? Oh well...saw another ad today and replied to that so we'll see what that entails!

SFX - ooh sounds like those teeth will be through very soon, will be easier on dd when they finally break through

Giddy - yeah on dd2 saying 'mamma' - how lovely...took ds 22 months to say that, up until then he'd always referred to me as 'Da' !!!

Sky - poor you with the 2 hour waking - blimey and I thought our other night was bad - I will never complain again!

Muma - at the bullying, but you definitely did the right thing. at the problems with dp - hope they're resolved happily soon, x

Right had better be getting some sleep...we're also trying to get ds dry at night, have been abit lazy and he's been in pull ups at night even though he's been dry in the day for a year now. Have just taken him to the toilet for a night time piddle and he's already wet the bed so changed him, changed the bed, and mopped the floor in the bathroom (tiled) where he missed because he's still alseep! I'm sure this is the first of many 'changes' tonight...very tempted to sneak a pull up onto him and it's only the first night

Hi. Sorry, not had time to catch up. Been away for a few days to Dublin. Just dp and i. I have to say, i really enjoyed it. I missed ds so much. I was so pleased to see him when we got back yesterday. However, i think i chilled myself out too much. Today he is in a really bad mood. Refused to have his breakfast, refused his bottle and just cried for an hour. I'm so stressed out. How stupid is that? I lost my temper and i hate myself for that but as much as most people don't admit to it, i'm positive i'm not the only one.

Anyway, he's in bed now looking all angelic. Like butter wouldn't melt. Lets hope he wakes in a better mood.

Sorry for such a depressing post. You're all probably wishing i'd go away again!

Hope you and your little ones are all ok.

hello all, lurkers included

nice quiet day here, got some lovely sunshine.
dd is getting over ambitious with the standing up grabbing on to furniture, but no crawling yet
its very funny watching her go wobbly and fall on her padded bum.

take care all, hope weather olds for weekend.

hello

going to have a moan!
i;ve hurt my back, DD2 is unwell and was up lots last night, and is being sick, so i'm tired too

Hi All,

Just a quickie as I too am struggling to keep up with this thread.

Lua, sorry you?re feeling its all getting on top of you at the moment. I hope the 2 weeks rest helps. If you fancy a coffee one weekend??.

Muma3 ? how awful about your daughter?s bullying. I totally agree though, s*d the school, your DD is your main priority.

Life is going well, if a little hectic in the Jonah household. We?re frantically looking for a new house (had an offer on ours). We are off for a 3rd (I know, they must hate us) visit to a house tomorrow with my mum?s partner, who is a surveyor. Long story, so I wont bore you with it.

Apart from that, DS is a bit under the weather. He has a streaming cold, I?m pretty sure he?s teething and he seems a bit constipated. Poor little mite. Hope all your little darlings are doing well and all their mums are getting lots of sleep. I'm off to open a bottle of wine, sitting in my fridge, with my name highlighted on it...
