June 07 - Better Living Through Chocolate

[LackaDAISYcal]

I know that feeling jammy, this past week i've been so tired, despite reasonable sleep. today i have an excuse, dd slept with me last night and was up throwing up at least once and just awake and upset another 3 times. she is a little better, but up and down. it's so stressful when i am going away tomorrow. i will feel awful leaving her. won't be able to get my fringe cut either as no way is she up for going out. will have to drive to waitrose to get some dollars later and a plastic bag. so much to do and so tired. i didn't envision going away would be this much stress. plus i have the car mot and tires to contend with.

dd is finally nibbling on a biscuit so may be perking up.

tired here too, and I went to bed at 9.30 and slept OK. I have stuff going on in my tiny mind though that's not helping, and I shouldn't have gone out the other weekend with Dsis either because it's made me want to do it again (the grass is always grrener)|

am trying to use DS1s laptop as baggins has buggered the PC this morning while I lovingly scrambled eggs for the little poppets and DH isn't home yet to get cross fix it. I have to work out how to delete internet history too, don't want DS1 trolling when he's prentending to be on tribal wars. it's very difficult to work, even with the new keyboard. my fingers must be too fat!

Am working lunchtime too shall be checking out the relief HTs bum though if he is on duty

Saw your FB comment Ria. Hope it was an insect and not a child?

Had a real bunting afternoon Yes really - was volunteering at the childrens centre and there was a big pile of unclaimed paintings from the other day, a load of triangles of coloured paper painted in all manner of patterns by the littlies. So I got wool and sellotape and made a chain of bunting out of them

Just home and Jamlet asleep in the buggy. Not sure how long it'll last but the silence is wonderful.

jammy, sounds lovely. I had a brilliant arty idea this morning for a fundraiser a friend is doing, but I need the OK from her before I get started.

Sadly was not an insect. It was only a mouthful of coat though, and I think not malicious, so I just suggested it wasn't a good thing to do rather than reporting it (parent has a DC in DS2s class also).

That sounds very reasonable and nice of you Ria

gosh, it's quiet on here today.

we've just been out and about and last night I was at the PITA meeting for sorting out the summer fayre in June. I am in charge of the tombola, which will be better than books like last year. I may also be roped into facepainting as well, and also a stint as toilet monitor

I've just given bumble some formula . I just can't do this up all night thing anymore . I know it might not be the answer, but it's worth a try for a couple of nights and see what happens. He only took 3.5ozs though as he had a BF at 5.30.....we'll see what happens.

I can be nice sometims

have been to football training with DS2 - his first time

don't fret about the formula daisy. it won't harm, and you need some sleep.

Hope you get some sleep Daisy. You need some rest you know, so don't feel bad.

Went to the chemist today - last Weds I took in a prescription, for a contraceptive diaphragm and gel. I went in last Friday to collect, they hadn't managed to get one in the right size, told me to come back today. I did and got told they still didn't have one. The stupid pharmacist didn't offer any advice or anything. Only when I asked her what happens now did she offer to ring the suppliers to see when they could get one. She's crap! She's the one who refused to let me hire a tens machine without written permission from a MW. Just because she didn't know that Lloyds pharmacy hires them out, she couldn't be arsed to look it up or make a phonecall .

Sorry, had to vent somewhere, that woman pisses me off so much!

some people jammy!

tell her that you'll be suing if you have an unplanned pregnancy because of her incompetence!

I'm trying not to stress about the formula. I've done six months exlcusively, and my thinking is that as he is now getting food it isn't such a big deal for him to have it. I wanted to get by without it, but....I can only take so much sleep deprivation.

DH took DS1 fishing tonight and it was a disaster again . he is such a whinging, snivelling, argumentative little shite at the minute and no matter what we do as a family, he manages to piss everyone off and spoil the entire thing. I actually wished earlier, when DD was having a massive tantrum (it lasted over half an hour) and he was being a shoite, I actually wished that I didn't have any children and am beginning to hate my life . That's not a good place to be is it?

If only they could stay babies forever; I can do babies.

Aw Daisy. Hope you feel better in the morning,after (hopefully) a good night's sleep.

Oh and to add insult to injury 3 times I've had to turn down her offer of the gel - I keep saying it's no use without the diaphragm and she looks at me blankly like she has no idea what I'm talking about

My GP did warn me I was using (or wanting to use) contraception that is pretty antiquated! She approves though, tells me it's a good choice and more people should use it

for you jammy

and for you daisy. have been in that place myself this week but I'm mainly not wanting a DH (I don't know what's wrong with him atm but he is seriously becoming a self-opinionated, selfish and inconsiderate wanker, just like his father) and only sometimes the boys (I'll keep them, they just make me want to cry)

FWIW jammy, if it wasn't for my implant, I would be using the oldest contraceptive in the book!

Ria our contraception at the moment consists of two closed doors and a flight of stairs. Don't know why DH bothered with the snip

Love it daisy that would be swimming uphill!

Meeting an old uni friend for lunch tomorrow - and maybe his wife, not sure. He's not met jamlet yet, and has no children (and no plans to) so not sure what he's expecting! And on Sunday I have my day of bliss at the Sanctuary

have a nice lunch jammy......and I hope your old friend isn't too shell shocked by lunch with a small child.

We are off to choose DS1's bike for his birthday; although the little splot is hardly deserving of it at the minute.

night all

have a great weekend jammy

thanks for the reminder of those wise words daisy (though I hope DHs don't count). Might just get me through the weekend.

We are off to Knaresborough tomorrow (meeting my parents with a picnic and a 2nd hand fridge for their holiday place, plus a few things for me and the kids so they are there in advance for our holiday) It is where we celebrated our wedding, so am clinging on to the hope that it will remind DH of happier times and he might make more effort

DS1 nearly beat me at chess tonight

Have a good weekend everyone, Hope all DC and DHs are well behaved

We have resorted to bribery here! DS1 is getting 5p for responding when spoken to, 10p when doing a job if asked and 5p off for a whinge or cheekiness

but, I have a feeling that his behaviour won't seem quite so bad after a decent sleep. I fed bumble at 11.30 then DH slept with him downstairs, and managed to settle him without a feed until 6am.

bike shopping today for his birthday then room swapping. My chicco stroller will arrive today

Ooooh, and have good weekends. The weather is looking pretty nice here and the wind has calmed down thankfully.

Weather looking good here as well

Glad you got some sleep Daisy....I did as well. DH topped up DS at 11 and he woke me up at 5.50am for a feed . It is amazing how much more you can cope with when you've had some sleep!

He's just gone into 3-6 month clothes......what happened to my tinsy wincy baby?

Have a fab day tomorrow Jammy

Hope you all have a productive weekend with well behaved DC's

Ok, DD is at a friend's, DH at work. I am waiting to be picked up at 11 to be away for a whole week

Sorry for DH/DC problems

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Have a FAB time Bumper.....and enjoy the shopping
