Hi all.

Sorry to ask if you were ok and then bugger off fury. Glad you've come back.

It's not easy feeling like you said, esp. when you think you don't have a reason, I think that's why I get cross with myself, because life is "OK" just not perfect ATM, IYSWIM, but it doesn't stop me feeling down.

I hope that makes sense and doesn't come over wrong. (I think foxy got it right)

Have a good RL afternoon though!

I think DS2s little friend can breathe through her ears - she never pauses for breath! He is finding it hard because she is bossier than him

Must go again - I am trying to get DS1s stuff in his room before he gets back from the cinema (he has gone out for a friends birthday), and DH wants me to find a vicar!!!

Back later...

is life ever perfect for anyone, though?

I mean you can say, 'oh, if only I were rich' but then you might be lonely, or 'if only I lived in a better part of town' but then you might get sick - life has so many variables.

We do as a society I think expect some degree of perfection - with technology and money and organic foods and whatever. But even if we had all our hearts desired I reckon it wouldn't be enough.

I am generally dissatisfied with my life but I reckon even if I did all the things required to make me happy, I'd find something else to complain about

I agree fury life is never perfect and I think if you go along always waiting until it is or hoping it is it will pass you by I really try to enjoy the moment and be appreciative of what I have

good answer andiem

on that note I think I will stop feeling poe and down in the dumps and look forward to a meet up and seeing my little sod cherub tonight

school run for me

Hi all

I think what Foxy meant to say is that MN is a valid place and we are all valid friends, not just pretend friends.

Fury I know how you feel, just a general malaise. I was feeling the same a while back, and lonely too. I really hope you feel better, you know where I am if you need me.

Foxy, btw, I don't know if you saw my post about Head and Shoulders for cradle cap? Worked a treat on DD.

I am in sleep deprivation hell! DD woke up for an hour at 9pm and again at 3am. Just wanted to be cuddled to sleep. It's difficult really, I can't leave her to cry in the middle of the night as we live in a flat in a really old building. It's been at least 3 weeks since she slept through. Is this my payback for having a good sleeper until now?

Thanks Bumper, I did see it. Might try it. Is it OK for their skin/eyes? How's work going?

Bumper, can you go to bed when LO goes? Of course you won't have much of a life or see DH but once in a while it would mean a whole 6 hours sleep.

DS1 just wallopped DS2, who ate jelly off the floor at teatime, DD1 spends most of her life in a tutu with a grubby face, DD2 doesn't sleep. Ever. I have a blocked duct which will undoubtedly turn to mastitus as DP is away for the weekend, part of my house is falling down, and I look (and feel) knackered.

I can honestly say that I love my life and it is perfect. For me.

pmsl Foxy, I too have a DD who would wear a tutu/fairy dress at all times if she could get away with it.

My life at the moment seems to revolve mostly around separating my DCs who seem intent on battering each other. The main problem being that DS wants whatever DD has. DD gets, understandably, very frustrated that her little brother tries to take everything away from her. DS has a fine line in strops already. He clenches his fists, screws up his face and shouts Grrrrrrrrrr. It's quite a sight.

aah the joys of a large age gap

dh and ds1 playing starwars on the wii lo asleep me off to order takeaway

will catch up tomorrow ladies no sleep in this house either when will this end

Fingers crossed for a good night Andiem

Speaking of no sleep, Baby Sputnik woke up seemingly every half hour last night, I think it's his teeth. I just plugged him in and went back to sleep but it's still draining. Really I think the best he ever slept was before 3 months!

My problem here is DD taking stuff off the baby. If it's not a legitimate "toy" (ie if it's a piece of kitchen equipment or something) she gets quite put out and removes it.

Hi Sputnik, I've been meaning to ask - did you get your things from Rainbowbabies? I haven't ordered yet, but keep meaning to.

I didn't order yet either, I just bought a load of clothes for me instead, so maybe I'll live the kid's stuff for next month.

If you didn't sign up yet I can stil recommend you, and we'd both get a discount.

I haven't signed up so pls do recommend me. I emailed you my details a week or so again but just shout if you'd like me to do it again. Thanks

Oh, must've lost those somehow, I get so much spam, could you try again?
sputnikinspace at gmail.com

Can anyone remember when Daisy was supposed to be back?

Found your mail Fairy, gmail had put it in the spam folder.

Just sent you anothe one anyway.

I#m not sure when Daisy is due back

I don't mind the sleep deprivation and disturbed nights half as much as I mind spending two fucking hours telling the little buggers to just go to sleep.

Baby fell asleep on the boob at 7pm. Went to put her in her bed. Ping Wide awake. As bloody usual. She'll now by up until I go to bed and would stay asleep until 11.30 tomorrow. If I didn't have to do the shagging school run.

I am now very, very grumpy.

for you Foxy, they really are sent to try our patience aren't they?
