AUGUST 2008 - One year on and you would think we would all be getting some sleep by now!

[oopsacoconut]

New thread!

DH had it done for me - they printed her finger into some silver putty then cut out the shape and fired it and it turned into silver - magic I think

ALBS - I have a little glow in the dark rosary, we were all given them on a school trip incase we got lost and needed to pray. We were in a holiday camp in the middle of a massive school gathering and the gates were all manned but rather fierce nuns and brothers. We were going no where in a hurry never mind the dark! I am the queen of catholic tat

Well timed TS

Glow in the dark rosaries. Way cool. I may have to indulge in a bit of

Well, she it is safe to say my dear friend is not rocking the vatican look in an ironic way. I'm suspecting it was a present from her brother who is a priest and was in Italy on holiday.

AIBU to find a Benedict one offensive when a JP2 one would have touched my hardened heart?

She is a wonderful woman with a great gift for enjoying every moment. And her little boy who has the Aspie tendencies is soooo much happier this year. Now the school routine is his routine there is more space for him to be himself.

Ooops that cake looks amazing. What is the sugercraft course you are starting?

Rofl at 'holy crap' ...

Do you think TS can see everything like one of those sacred heart pictures?

I am just doing a local college one for the moment and then one at a local cake shop just before christmas. No, I think I would have found a JP2 on okay but not sure about a Benedict one either. Although if someone gave it to me I would feel obliged to use it for a while until I thought they ahd stopped noticing or could use the oops it broke excuse.

Folks MN has had enough of my babbling advice and religious tat for the night.

Sleep well everyone (or at least sleep some) and hope all who are ill wake feeling better.

NIGHTY NIGHT

i feel like the only sober person at a party full of drunkards! i obviously need to re-read what i've read tonight because i haven't got a clue what you're all going on about
bed for me for now

albs see you in the morning if you're lurking on here

eh??? I seem to have stumbled into a convent by mistake

I've asked dh to buy me some diy lessons for Christmas . Hopefully I can make good the wall I've ruined drilled holes in

Night ladies x

LOL!!! Glad I could be part of the conversation without realizing I was being part of the conversation. And Red, you've seen my recent facebook profile pic.....is that sacred heart enough for ya?? I SEE ALL I KNOW ALL ha ha ha ha ha

(figured i had to underline since BOLD is out of the question)

Girls are running wild and I should be cooking dinner. Rephrase that, Girls are running wild and dinner should be on the table. Bought some time with an apple. Reese is happy as a lark if you give her a whole apple to devour. DD1 hasn't requested food just yet so I have a little more time.

Miamla are you feeling better today? Has the hobbling?? Tossed the crutches out the window yet???

Longway, I've got to go add you to my Skype account so we can have a proper meet-up and I can check out the baby bump.

UPDATE: Reese is doing very good at Mom's Day Out. She's not cried at all recently. DD1 on the other hand cried again today at school. I met her for lunch (good gracious the lunch room is LOUD) before noon and spoke briefly with her teacher about the crying. Seems it may be her perfectionistic nature that's causing the crying. All crying episodes have started during a detail oriented project: drawing lines, making a self portrait, coloring. The teacher said otherwise she's an absolute star and is being grouped to begin the accelerated reading track because she is only one of about 4 in her kindergarten class that can actually READ...and READ WELL (for 5 yrs old mind you). ANYWAY....life is less than a breeze but not too difficult.

oh my head hurts already without you lot shouting off the pages [meep]

Cyteen you were in my dream this morning someone is setting up a wiki page for us and in my dream when I was looking at it [am aware am a complete saddo] you were already on it

right just checking in, will grab a chance later but on my own today so have myself and all 3 to get ready for school/playgroup run

sorry to be so horribly remiss at moment

oh and Sazz/VG, Dublin dates are now confirmed for Sun 11th to Wed 14th - its only 2 full days which is pants as Sun arrive in at about 4pm and Wed leaving at 09:30 flight but was best I could do - still cost me £168 to change the cheapy flights over

VG would be fantastic to see you but appreciate am not giving you much of a window with such a short visit - let me know what you think

Help - Lewis had his MMR yesterday - anyone else had theirs yet?

He was up in the night, had nurofen for temperature and is still asleep in bed now. Very unusual for him. He feels hot to touch but otherwise not restless, just sleeping.

I am sure it is normal but need reassurance?

Thanks. L had his in his arms (had the other one too). He is still asleep so I don't know his temp yet. Feeling like a very bad mother as I don't even have the leaflet! Shouldn't be so gung ho I suppose - note to self - even though L is DC4 he may be different to the others!

DD2 has also had to be brought home from school (by my dad) as she has been sick in the toilets.

A fun day ahead for me I suspect!

oohh lovely news VG, shall speak to friend and see what she has planned but we'll be staying in Greystones which am hoping is do-able for you. Am also hoping your DS1 would love to see my godson again as bless him he'll be demented with all my girls again

Sky hope wee man is feeling better very soon

v enviious of the irish meets.

dh and i have plans for when we manage to have a just the 2 of us getaway. We will go to Dublin for a weekend /midweek weekend. won't be til i have stopped bf whenever that is and when i think ds will be ok overnight without me (so when he's 18 at this rate .

Been with miamla and her crutches this am. But my ds was a grumpy so and so and also managed to get his head stuck in a bookcase (he was copying minimiamla). he is in bed now and i am waiting for bread tyo defrost so i can have my lunch!!!!!

quickly sneaking on at work, hello!! I miss ds today but have managed to avoid doing anything too strenuous so far workwise.

albs rest assured you are not alone whacking ds on the boob, I often think about shush pat and what have you but it's easier just to bf and get back to bed. Now I'm at work obviously we're not bfing in the day but when i get in at 6 ds drinks about a gallon of bm - v sweet.

off to move papers around my desk

ps not much holy crap in my house apart from a jesus on wheels desk toy which i may bequeath to ds if he plays his cards right

we have lots of "holy crap" here. dh loves it. We have a Jesus in a snowstorm; jesus plasters; we have a jesus blessing our house piccy above ourloo (ironic pressie when we moved in). what else? oh, a wind up nun, jesus action figure.......
