June 07 - Heres hoping for a bug free month!

[NattyPlus2andAHalf]

hey guys

It goes like that sometimes. I find it comes and goes in cycles. Not just me, but most couples I know.

Have a bath, an early night, lie like a starfish in your bed.

Tomorrows another day and it will be better

thanks guys.

love you x

very in MN like of me

Hugs Natty. I'm sure he'll be back and ready to make up soon!

Ria - I do find that when I exercise I feel like eating healthily. I don't lose my appetite, but my food desires change. I don't know if it is physiological or psychological, or a bit of both, but it definitely is a win-win situation. Today however, I have been tired (thanks to a 5.20 wake up this morning), not able to walk much (thanks to still sore foot making me limp) and fed up (thanks to rubbish afternoon at work and failure to give blood) so I have had too much donner (thankfuly just soup) and a Yorkir bar too . Will try to swing my midset round tomorrow though

Oh and jamlet was pushing another girl at nursery today They said it was unlike her and that they had told her she mustn't do it. I told her the same of course. Hope it is just a blip and not the start of bad behaviour.

ahh Jammy, she will do it - they all do. It won't be the start of anything except experimenting and pushing boundries.

IKWYM about exercise and food. I've had a week off running/gym as I pulled something in my neck and was in absolute agony. Its only just getting better. A late night, crisps and a bag of cadbury's minitures didn't help either.

Natty, send him a text, tell him you love him and wish him goodnight, hey?

Thanks Foxy.
A little (but bigger) girl did the same thing to her at the children's centre the other day - pushed her out of the way to get to a chair. It did cross my mind if she's trying the same thing to see if she can do it too? - an experiment like you said. But I'm probably over-analysing it because I'm too tired. I heard her coughing and spluttering, sounding like she was choking, this morning then suddenly it all went eerily silent. Of course I rushed through to see if she was OK, and she was fine of course, only now she was awake and wanting a cuddle and to play. And it was 5.20 It's been a long old day.

OK, I'm going to bed. Night all. Natty, try not to fret, but make the most of the extra space to get some rest and plan something nice for when he gets back tomorrow?

natty, the two of you have probalby been wound very tight over all the worry of the last few weeks and this argument is probably as a result of the sudden comedown from all the finacial worries. I'm sure he'll be back with his tail between his legs tomorrow, but agree with the quick text to say goodnight etc.....I always find that being the first to apologise gives me the moral high ground makes me feel better

bumble still poorly today. Not in any real sense as his temperature is fine but he is doing a lot of high pitched screaming for no discernable reason but calpol stops it so he is obviously in pain.

and following my ABs the other week I have thrush again . Not sure whether to get something for it tomorrow or wait as no doubt I will get ABs after my op on Thursday, and bumble is still taking some for his ear infection. Should I start a course of fluconazole and resign myself to needing a second dose, or start taking them now?

Jammy, she is probably just testing the boundaries as others have said.

ria....I love your self restraint over only two roses. That concept is totally alien to me!!

We love a particular northern supermarket chain here . DH has Thurday and Friday off work, is allowed to work from home next week but is not to be contacted between 8.30 and 9 and 3 and 3.30 and then for two weeks after that he is allowed to go in late after dropping DS off at school. they obviously must rate him if he's only been there 3 months and they are being so flexible and helpful over my operation. One of the school gate mums who we usually walk home with has said she'll drop DS off at the end of the street for me for as long as I need it as well once DH is back at work.

DD fell of the low wall we have in our garden today. I was hanging out washing and turned round to see her land on the top of her head (in true cartoon stylee) and then fall sideways. I scooped her up and rushed into the house with her howling and was stripping her off and checking for blood incase she had hit the sawtooth brick edging to the herb bed. no apparent injuries, but she was still screaming......finally got her calm enough to ask was she hurt.....apparently not; the screaming was about the fact that Makka Pakka was left out in the garden by himself! I'm still being a bit nerotic about her as well jammy and will have to check her all night!

bumble managed to get a wipe out of the packet today.....clever boy

sorry.....bit of an epic that one!

i will be apologising first, its def me in the wrong so i need to.
i just cant handle things atm, and little things are setting me off, and seem ever so important at the time

blardy hormones, and being tired, and spending the last month terrified of balifs turning up.

oh well im sure this will seem better in the morning.

i might take ellen to bed with me

Hope things are better today Natty

Unfortunately Jammy tis the law of the nursery/playground. Personally I'd rather keep them in a bubble, wrapped up in cotton wool, but we aren't allowed apparently. We just have to accept there are other influences and not always positive. At least you won't have Power Rangers in Reception playground to contend with. I hope.

Daisy, he'll be wiping his own arse next. Good work!

natty, that's called being pregnant . Hope things are OK this morning.

Mr Daisy has pissed me off royally this morning . He sleeps on the sofa through the week so he gets a good sleep for work, meaning I'm up four times with bumble (although tbh not much he can do there) and then also up with the other two if they wake, which with DD was for about half an hour last night where she just wanted me to sit and cuddle her. Well, Mr Daisy steams in with a cuppa for me at 7.10 telling me I needed to get up and get a spurt on as he was about to leave . He's meant to wake me at 6.30ish so I can be awake and showered before he leaves the house else I have no chance. I'm bloody raging at him as he gets a good sleep and I get shit. He then has the bloody gall to tell me I need to go to bed earlier so I'm not so knackered and able to get on with things in the house . I pointed out that I would actually like some semblance of an evening. I might go to bed with the kids this evening though so I don't have to listen to the endless struggle of meeting the Courtald agreement and how exciting fecking cardboard boxes are and sod the bugger . I'm sure he did it on purpose as well as he was pissed off I hadn't made him any dinner last night, but when I do he doesn't eat it cos he has been to the office canteen and had a huge lunch.....family? this one is feeling very fragmented at the minute

and on top of all that I'm coming down with a stinking cold which might mean I have to reschedule my operation

Aw Daisy - big hugs!!! Hope you have a better day/evening and night today.

Must be something in the air, I got narked at DH this morning. I was up at 6.20 this morning with jamlet, looked after her, got her milk and breakfast, fed the cat, got my breakfast, took her up to wake DH at 7, got myself dressed, got her dressed, woke DH again at 7.30, made packed lunches for DH and myself, packed bags for jamlet and myself, took her up for a nappy change at 7.50 - and DH was wandering around in his pants . We (are meant to) leave at 8! I told him he ought to get up earlier and support his family a bit, instead of letting me look after everything and everyone .

It's mother and baby tester registration time again! Link Here, but it doesn't seem to be loading for me at the minute. Maybe too much traffic???

I've forgotten how to soothe a baby

DS has been awake for hours and is screaming the place down. I can't cuddle him atm cos I just feel like saying "FFS shut up" ....poor DD...I can't hear a word she is saying.

He is fed, clean, dry

I don't know what to do - other than cry with him

Feel like a shit mother today.

At the risk of repeating myself and shouting

GET A SWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Daisy, Norty - that's you I'm talking to.

(Unless of course you have one in which case feel free to tell me to wind my neck in )

I've got one.....but only my cleavage will do .

Every time I put him down asleep....within 5 mins he is awake and screaming.....its doing my head in. He has just puked most of his feed over me so we have both just got into clean clothes (for the 3rd time today!)

DD got a temperature of 39.....stripped her down to her nappy, gave her neurofen, ans she took her nappy off and pissed on the sofa...

Dog ate something revolting on his walk and has puked it up in his basket

Fucking hell.....have I really got to wait till December to go back to work?

Diary...Jammy...Natty....it must be something going around....we had a bit of that over the weekend.....tomorrow is another day!

Daisy...thanks for the link....I've registered!

Foxy....how on earth do you manage with 4?

aw ive brought the thread down with my negativity

hope all our DH's fix themselves up soon

michael has built the bunk beds this afternoon to redeem himself. i made him breakfast in bed (orange juice and paracetamol for his sore head!!) so we are ok again atm.
they arrived this morning at 6.07am how early is that for a delivery!?!

oh and norty, we all have days like that

hope the evening is a bit better for you x

to all of you having shit days.

I'm off tomorrow for my mini holiday . I've decided to go to London and have booked a last minute 'mystery hotel' which turns out to be near Tower Brudge so am v pleased .

I am taking 'puter with me but am going to try and have a break from MN, email and facebook to enforce a complete break from the norm, so I will 'see' you all on Saturday

Norty - hope things are picking up for you.
Natty - glad things are OK again with M.
Daisy, thanks for that link - have registered

Hope you have a lovely time Fairy

Sorry, just want to share this from today's nursery report:
"Jamlet put the dogs into the beds and put bowls infront of them which she pretended was their food."
Awwwww, how sweet!

Bless Jamlet!!

Oh Norty, that was my best tip. Short of if clean, warm, dry, fed then put him in his cot and take a minute. How do I do it with 4? I've learnt to switch off and ignore. Saying that, if DD is unwell, maybe it is brewing with him? It is going to get easier, hold on to that thought.

We were rowing too. Sex was the answer. I acknowledge that this, together with my 'swing' advice is not the best advice for you all.

DP is away tomorrow, something to do with the racing. I am secretly delighted as I can watch the 'Jade' wedding programmes without his constant commentary. Or my embarrasment of watching it infront of someone else.

norty, maybe an ear infection? I hope things are better now, but if he cries for much longer, maybe best to call the OOH doc? Poor DD as well...any idea what's up? You know I was thinking this morning that it would be nice to go back to work; I just felt that I was sooo over being a SAHM.

bumble has been screaming for over an hour and a half this evening. He had his third lot of jabs today and had been OK after the initial crying. He was playing on my knee after tea, and had been happily SWINGING in his swing FOXY then just started screaming.....2 seperate 2.5mls of calpol and over an hour and a half later he is now lying flat over DH's lap and giving out the most pathetic whimper every few minutes. poor wee scone
