AUG 08 - Here we go again and again and again...

[TwilightSurfer]

Seriously!

Ahhhh and relax AF arrived today so no need to go getting excited.

Been out to church which is always a battle of me trying to restrain O for 2 hours . Been in 5 mins and dh is moaning already! He doesn't come to church with us so it's not like he's just had 2 hours of wrestling with a 20 month old

Weather pants here too, dry atm but more rain in store me thinks....what to do, what to do?

Oops I am so very worried about you. I will not be offended if you ignore my craziness. Belly dancing hip rolls and Cat-Cow (on all 4s arching back back-n-forth)...to get her into position. However, if she does engage you dilation will probably shoot from 5 to 10. Are you sure you're not farther along?

oops why is DH adament that they won't share? my do and LOVE it and poor D never likes going through on her own as she feels she's missing out on something bless her.

I don't feel their own room is important at all at this age and even though DD1 is wanting her best friend here for a sleep over there are ways of doing that without it affecting DD2. thats the only reason I could think it would be worth her having her own room but its a bit silly compared to all the benefits iyswim

we've no choice but frankly I'm glad they're sharing

My girls share and that's with 4 years, 6 months, and 38 minutes apart. I'm torn between cute twin beds or a bunk bed (or even two sets of bunk beds). It's just not time yet to move into new beds. Maybe by the time school starts in the Fall.

Right now both girls are in our bed while DH attempts to sleep and I catch up on the laptop.

Dizzy I think you need a (((hug))) too.

oohh I love a good hug

pyjama day here, well until its time to go to work, D down for a nap and the girls and I playing games/watching films - nice to have a bit of down time and hopefully the rain will stop long enough for us to have a walk later (not hopeful though)

Have only just arrived on new thread haven't read it yet but seeing as you are there dizzy I hug you too.

ds2 says HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUG, translation: pick me up, carry me, comfort me, let me on your knee, get out of the way so I can bang the keyboard, etc etc. He loves this book.

lovely, buy one get one free

Oops glad to see you are not in labour! ds2 loves dinosaurs too but not to the point he can identify them by name!!! He just goes "rooooaar" or something which is the same thing a lion or a tiger say. I'd fall over backwards if he pointed & said diplodocus!! He will mimic you saying anything though which is funny, you can say anything, a full sentence, and he'll garble it back to you, it's really sweet.

I always shared a bedroom with my sister - not enough bedrooms for everyone to have their own! Even when we lived in a flat together we shared a bedroom. We were 5 children, such luxuries as personal space didn't exist. But I think the privacy / own space thing doesn't really kick in till the teens, does it? In fact I have never had my own bedroom, really, when I think about it...

ds1 has a high sleeper thing and it's a pain in the backside imho. He loves it, I can't get up there to change the sheets etc, plus I never notice, as it's over my head, that he is stewing in a sort of soup of books and socks and football magazines and the cat etc.

I did smile at rowrowlittlestar v sweet.

and here is what I've been dealing with over the last few days for a wee glimsp into the life of Dixie

utterly horrific and everybody and his aunt keep 'seeing' her and another incident which doesn't seem to be in the press yet

so apologies for whinging on about work, will stop now as everyday is a new day in my job

VG - DD2 also loving dinosaurs to the extent that she has decided to BE one when she grows up, at the ripe old age of almost 4 she couldn't name them either

your desc of DS1's high sleeper is another reason I'm glad we couldn't have anything taller than 160 - as I'm 168cm tall I should be able to still see whats in there and some of the things I've found DD2 sleeping with beggar belief

Oh dizzy sometimes I think I forget that's what your job actually is iyswim.

CC I went to church this am as well and brought ds2 who was silent as a feather lumping round kneelers and jumping on and off them without making a single sound, bless him. But when I drank the wine he suddenly shouted COFFEE and all the elderly ladies around jumped. I was looking nervously around at one point as he was doing something in the aisle behind me, and a lady tapped me on the shoulder (and I thought oh shit here we go) and she hissed at me: "You just relax! He's a baby and nobody minds what he's doing." I nearly cried . How sweet.

LOL dizzy. In fact another reason I didn't like it was because I always used to lie on his bed reading his bedtime story and dozing off and now I have to sort of balance on the ladder and it's not one bit relaxing.

I'd be more worried they thought I was swigging wine all day but telling the dc it was coffee and why oh why you worry that anyone couldn't adore gorgeous E

oh how sad dizzy. what things to be dealing with. yawn. off to church soon where DS is the only toddler and his antics are generally viewed as endearing rather than disruptive. long may this continue

sorry, didn't mean to depress you all - I just worry I moan too much about my work and its not technically the job but the content iyswim?

morning longway

okay back again to try and continue with out wee ones bouncing off me and my keyboard.

captain you seem relieved. how does dh feel? will there be a snip in the future?

dizzy i avoid the news. i'd never be able to do your job.

That is sad dizz, we should get our lives in perspective!

GG most of my church are like that but some oldies give you definate 'looks' which makes me wonder why they bother to pretend to be Christians if they can't tolerate kids? 'love thy neighbour' and all that

Did you miss my af news???

Ok TS so you didn't miss it . Dh knows nothing of the 'drama that never was' , and no, he isn't planning on getting snipped anytime ever. I refuse to take the pill and he refuses to use condoms. Aren't we a helpful pair?! I guess you could call it the natural method

Oh CC I did, I'm so sorry!

Well natural is good and works. My doctor calls it the parenthood method. You may will be sporting a third before "the change" happens.

Reese has climbed up on the bottom drawer of my dresser and is going through the top drawer. She finds my pedicure toe spreader thingy interesting. Now she's running down the hall with some perfume. I've sent dd1 to retrieve it. Cue Reese wailing. DH now rolling over with a bit of a huff.

It's 8:45AM!!!!!!

Suppose I should get my kids out of my drawers and clean up. We are headed downtown to the Market today. The sun is out and everyone I know is planning on attending opening day. I love my town!!
