April 2009 - Episode 13 - 'I've been looking for the exit for months!'

[Schulte]

Fanjo Warriors, here we are

Yes fingers crossed. Your holiday snaps are great btw.

Thanks We took so many but looking at them now they look all the same Though dh has the better ones on his camera (or so I'm told by him)

Reminder: Puzzle get yourself off to bed NOW.

Well done little Holly though!

Are you free next Wednesday? Maybe Wriggly is around too?

Holly has her jabs at 5pm. What time were you thinking. I could always rearrange her appointment.

Would the morning work for you?

It would. I saw Wriggly this morning. She is free also, hopefully morning is good for her too.

Are any of your lo's refusing to eat what you offer and only want what they choose for themselves? (In our case she wants fruit pouches, granola bars, and smoothie.)
Or is it only my stubborn will-full child?

I'm hoping it's just the jet lag messing with her tummy. Not sure I can deal with the terrible twos already at 14 months...

Ha ha Bebe, we've had tantrums too. Madam likes to throw herself to the floor when she's not getting her way. And when it comes to eating, she had a really good patch of eating well but now she demands yoghurts, raisins and bananas all the time. Sigh. I had the easy child first time round.

Puzzle, great, I'll FB you

Now I want to know WHO is going to win Junior Apprentice?

Good to know (in a empathy sort of way). I'm so frustrated (probably my own jet lag), and hungry! With all these tantrums abt food I don't have enough time to eat anything substantial. She screams bloody murder if I leave her in her chair while I try to finish and if I take her out she screams the place down if I don't get up and 'GO' with her when she pulls my hand to where ever she wants to go next... Though I really need to lose weight so this might benefit me as long as I can somehow still eat balanced well rounded meals... (yeah right)

The strangest thing happened today. I saw trista! It was definitely her, with her gorgeous boys. I have just facebooked her to tell her, and then I realised that she probably has no idea who I am. Because I have been stalking you all for so long, I just assumed you all know me. So now she has a facebook from some scary stalker.

Trista, if you're reading this: sorry

But what are the chances of that happening??

Zulu - That happened to Wriggly/Lulu and I. We passed each other on the way to/from our local shops. Turned out we lived just a few streets away from each other.

AIBU?

giggle giggle giggle

Marking the thread... but must watch football really

So is everyone off watching the footie then?

Role call!

Weather is too nice; everyone playing hookie I've been too sick to stray far...

I wish, I've been at work the whole time.

Poo.

'tis a pity WFH Is it going ok?

Work, eh? Always gets in the way of life.

Hello girls - sorry for going AWOL, work has been manic and home life has been even manic-er.

DH currently sporting a broken collar bone having gone A over T on his bike on Sunday, and O has tonsillitis.

Of course this means DH can't do anything Oscar related as he can't pick him up.

Joy of joys.

Oh well. This too shall pass this too shall pass. O is on antibiotics now so hopefully that will sort him out and he'll stop waking quite so frequently at night.

Schulte - how's the house situation? I'm off on Wed 30th as my childminder is on hols - fancy meeting up?

Yes to tantrums. Lots of them. Head throwing back and wailing like his world has come to an end. We're going down the distraction route with these and seems to be working for now.

Oh blimey - his lordship has done another poo - second of the day and we've only been up an hour.

Catch you all later x

Poor O and your Dh (AND YOU!!)

I was thinking of you and your cycling dh the other day. You guys are like the more put together bebemoo family. Strange kinda. Do you cycle too or just hubby?

Ouch. I hope they are both better soon.

God I need to get away. I SOooooooOO need to not be a mommy. Just for a couple of hours.
Need to get Moo into Nursery or something so I can have a break.
My brain doesn't turn off. I'm constantly on edge. I need to be able to relax some time.
Dunno should I do has dh wants and get rid of the cat and rent the house and move to Reading or something? Does it help having your dh's there at night? Do they actually do anything? Or do you just have to clean up after them too when they're around?

(Bebemoo has reached her limit today)

Bebe - both. DH helps (kind of), but then on nights when he's away I feel like I am getting a break.

Bicnod! Ouch ouch indeed. Stay strong. No news on the housing front, we are still waiting to confirm a moving date. 30th could work, let me check...
