December 2012: Everyone loves nap time.

[halestone]

Started a new thread for us before we run out of room.

Big hugs to you all Beasty.

(((beasty)))

Thanks.

We've done the school visit- DD just sat on my knee and refused to talk. But at least they've seen how shy she is! Andit looks as though the class is even smaller, so 27 max.

We're attempting to fly a kite in a second, before we go home for lunch. Then we'll be off. Glad when it's all over.

Beasty, i hope its a lovely service.

Beasty

R did it, he went and bloody did it!

Hope the service goes well beasty. Thoughts re with your family.

I've had a miserable boy this afternoon. He's down for his nap but keeps coughing. Total lunch fail too, just refused to eat anything. Tried all his favourites, even going so far as yoghurt then chocolate. Everything came out though, usually I can make him eat something by it being mine instead of his - he took a couple of bites of my toast but took it straight back out of his mouth and handed it back crying :( Teeth methinks, plus a cough/cold on top maybe. Just wish I hadn't woken at 5am this morning, so I had a bit more energy and patience to deal with it.

Going to go read back now, just did a quick scan before posting as not sure how long DS will actually sleep for.

Nutella I really like "Little Mouse" by Alison Murray just now. DS likes it too, we've read it 4 times already today. It's one of those books that highlights the imagination of kids. It starts "Sometimes, when I'm being very quiet and cuddly, my mummy calls me her little mouse. But that's funny, because I'm not little like a mouse, I'm tall! ..." Lots of animals in, and a good bedtime story too.

I'm moving all my stuff out today. It really does suck!

Well done wlmum even if you decide not to take this job must be a boost of confidence ready for the next job you go for.

Hope today goes ok barbeasty.

willyou hugs- thinking of you. Must be hard given the curcumstances but good that you've found a house so quickly.

Hope your days went ok beasty and willyou.
I've got a 2nd interview on tues. I'm not sure it'll be a goer (apart from the money there is no scope for the role to grow or for me to move anywhere internally) but it's so nice to be in the running.

I was awake last night worrying about money. Dd1s brownie leader said tonight they are looking at an adventure activity weekend in sept which will be £80! We'll find the money but highlights just how life is getting ever more expensive.

I don't have a house ddas off to ma n pas! My house is probably only a month off though.

Dd2 got over excited earlier and bit my bum so hard she drew blood!

Ouch WL . Hope you don't need to do too much sitting down today!

WillYou hope phase 1 of the move went ok, and that living with your parents goes ok.

The funeral was nice, and both DC behaves amazingly well (apart from A laughing like a drain as the curtains closed around the coffin- he wasn't even looking, just playing with DH's tie!!) They both enjoyed the afternoon tea afterwards, and coped really well with the late night (home around 7.30). Even with a dress I couldn't feed in, A behaved.

So glad it went well beasty

I'm really upset with DH. We agreed that I would organise a day out for our anniversary, which I have done and was really pleased with the plans and thought he'd like them too. Without telling me he's arranged something too - both involve big childcare requests from our parents so unfair to ask twice in as many weeks and there's no way we can afford both. When I realised what had happened I told him what I'd planned, he hadn't shown the slightest bit of enthusiasm and still thinks we should do his idea - he's annoyed that I'm not appreciative of his arranging something. I know I'm being unreasonable but I feel that it's all gone sour now and I don't want to do either thing. I want to cry.

Just skimmed through. Beasty funerals are never fun hope everyone is ok. WL well done on second interview ego boost if nothing else.

Dd's just gone off with dp to the disco dp and I HATE things like that but she really wanted to go. Ds screamed through take off and vomited. Is teething really badly but both dc are being really good. To add to ds' vigorous nodding and shaking of the head we now have yeah, woof woof and choo choo

Must get back to my cocktail now

spotty!
Poor buba T fell over after her bath and bit right through her bottom lip with both teeth - there are entry and exit wounds! Poor baby cried for the longest time ever. I managed to force in some calpol and nurofen round the boob and eventually she felt better. My mum was still here who h was great as she finished the bath for the other 2 but her saying 'she's bleeding on your shirt - you're going to have to wash that' make me grit my teeth and count to 10!

"Aw, thanks Mum, I'll pop it in your bag when I've had a chance to change shall I?" WL I'd be counting fucking one fucking two Hope she's calm now?

Beasty

Couple more accidents this morning and two successes this afternoon/evening :o

beasty glad everything went well
Hope you have a lovely weekend planned.

spotty enjoy your cocktail & holiday! I hope DS idol except for the teeth. Do you think his ears bothered him at take off?

wl argh. Sounds like a case of worried grandma who has to say something - even if it's really stupid and unimportant. My mum is like that. She feels she has to say something although saying nothing would sometimes be more helpful.

pidj minipidj's potty training is awesome! Well done him and you. Love the hippo pants.

wl sorry to hear about the anniversary mix up. I can understand you being angry about it! I would be too. Can you not decide together (or maybe pull out of a hat) which/what you would like to do for the anniversary?
DH rarely takes any kind of care of his feet and he has sweaty smelly man feet and gets a bit of athletes foot fairly regularly. So I moan at him, he does the minimum foot care until it goes away and then... TA DA he gets it again.
Anyway, last night he decided to give himself a bit of a pedicure. He bathed his feet and was started to cut his nails and it goes something like this:

MrNut: "oh, shit. MrNut I just did something stupid can you help me"
MrsN "what did you do?!"
MrN "will you fix it for me?"
He managed to cut a big chunk off the corner of his big toenail. Yes I helped him but it wasn't the first time he has done "something stupid" and I know it won't be the last!
Last time it was when he cut his hair a bit

Nutella was it like when my brother was little and tried to cut his own hair because mum wouldn't let him have a crew cut? She made him go to school for a week with patches cut off before she took him to the barber- he looked rather moth eaten!

Hope you sort your anniversary WL and good luck for Tuesday.

You're right nutella that's exactly what it was but my internal voice was saying 'ok I'll just put my bleeding hysterical baby down while I put my shirt into soak and find something more suitable to wear'! I know my mum loved my girls as much as I do so I know she wouldn't mean anything silly but you see why I say sometimes she makes things harder.
I was upset about the anniversary thing as is spent months thinking about a day out for us with things I thought he'd (and I) would really enjoy and he paid no regard to that. He can be an arse sometimes but I haven't managed to change him after 18 years so I guess I never will!

Poor buba T has such a fat purple lip today and under her chin is all yellow weepy scabs. She's doing remarkably well though.

WL, how is T's lip today? I hope you and DH come to an agreement about which you'll do.

Nutella i am so sorry but i've just remembered i forgot to tell you about H's cough. Its much better now of a night. DP thinks its because we have all the windows in the house open all the time at the moment.

Spotty hope your enjoying your cocktails.

Beasty i'm glad the other day went well.

beasty . Your poor brother! When DH cut his hair he came in to the living room with a towel over his head and begged me to help him before he would show me what was wrong. In the end it was only a little patch above one ear but I was expecting much worse because of the drama with the towel.
I did ask him, at the time and again last night how old he really is and if I have really married him
