Anyone for an early start? I have yo-yo children tonight as DS appears to want to drink his body weight in water and DD is still getting over her tummy bug (although thankfully no more vom).

This time 3 years ago DH was making me walk sideways up and down stairs at hospital to get DS shifting. I can't believe my baby is about to be 3!

Evening all. Your pictures are beautiful Stoic, as was your mum. What a lovely woman she looked.
I have a bit of a first world problem, I am taking Flagyl for a bastard tooth access but am going to a wedding later where there will be alcohol. My dilemma is whether to stop so I don't vomit or carry on and be virtuous.

He's just turned from being a "baby" into a "child", IYSWIM - he's capable of understanding and expressing himself and rationalising at a different level to where he was even 3 months ago. And you're right, Welove, it has flown. Suddenly I'm DM to a 6 year old and a 3 year old. Trouble is, in my head I'm about 25 Grin.

Morning rips. How bad's the abscess? Worth risking the ABs not working? Are those the ones you can't go out in the sun either - bit of a problem where you are?

jynier · 08/03/2013 01:10

... Hi, everybody! Thank you all for your kind messages.

ripsishere · 08/03/2013 01:28

No idea about sun, too late if they are.
The access is not bad, BUT the tooth does need to come out. The last time I had dental treatment was just before we left Bangkok. I had a GA to have a filling replaced due to a ridiculous gag reflex.

ripsishere · 08/03/2013 01:29

It is a fucking abcess, not access, this bastard laptop does my head in with its know it all ism.

jynier · 08/03/2013 01:33

rip - Language!!! Hope you get it sorted soon; tooth abscesses are dreadful but there's no need to swear!

ripsishere · 08/03/2013 01:40

[bush] sorry Miss

starsandunicorns · 08/03/2013 01:53

Wonders onto thread very bunged up due to codine.

And just had a massive wried dream invouling sitting on loo outside front door of childhood house watching puffins the size of jumbo jets emirgrate across the sky while a gang of bikers zoom up the hill looking for kenny.

And me trying to stop my teenage dd helping the local crew save kenny on her barbie tricyle with go faster strips.Confused

starsandunicorns · 08/03/2013 01:53

Ohhh Rip poor you

starsandunicorns · 08/03/2013 01:54

Waves to all

cafecito · 08/03/2013 01:55

this is ridiculous, I am going to really risk a lot if I carry on staying up all night and then MISSING things in the morning because I fall asleep at about 5am. No no. Okay- staying up all night to ''reset'' my clock - lots of work to crack on with, lots of apartment to tidy, so many things to do - and need to be somewhere by 7.30 Hmm can't risk missing it. yikes.

cafecito · 08/03/2013 01:58

Grin at swearing

abscesses are awful - as is that autocorrect spelling thingy, hate it!

hmm, medically speaking, you should carry on taking the ABs to fight the active infection.

practically - is it still hurting?

cafecito · 08/03/2013 02:00

Stoic, thank you for sharing - have you heard of winston's wish, for DS3 if he needs a bit of support?

mrsshrek how are you feeling?

I think some of the reason I am missing morning things is that I am actually really quite depressed and its pretty damn debilitating when it gets bad isn't it. I need to snap out of it. New improved cafe coming soon.

starsandunicorns · 08/03/2013 02:03

Ohh cafe I had hoped you inner clock had re-set it self ealier in the week.

cafecito · 08/03/2013 02:11

far from it stars think I am worse than ever! oops.
stars- re codeine issues, make sure you are drinking enough water

jynier · 08/03/2013 02:26

Hi, cafe! - What's up? Sending best wishes!

thanks jynier- dunno really, meh Smile I'm super stressed at the moment about various deadlines and I've been making myself feel worse with overconsumtion of chocolate, overspending, and generally avoiding all the work I need to do. When I do try to sleep, I can't Confused yet I am tired all the time.
hohum!

cafecito · 08/03/2013 02:37

oh I do like hugs - and grapes, in fact - chilled, red ones

om nom nom

still feeling a bit fragile I think after DD birthday, which is silly, but it's kind of still bothering me that nobody remembered at all. I also have just been given a research assignment to do and I am at a loss as to where to begin. And I'm 4 weeks behind on my current stuff, with maybe 3 months' backlog from before- blabla

cafecito · 08/03/2013 02:38

*p

starsandunicorns · 08/03/2013 02:41

Oh yes cafe have been doing that on the night shift I got through 3 liters of water!! Your adoivence of work was like me in my last yr of my degree when it was eassy time.

3000 word eassys or sorting out the kitchen cupboards I knew what I was doing but couldnt stop.

In the end I had to have a grown up talk to myself its so hard I really feel for you

jynier · 08/03/2013 02:54

Oh, cafe, I know exactly how you feel! I thought that you were upset about your daughter's birthday but you never, ever gave us the date!

Sending blessings and love to you and your little girl; I know how much you adored her! She is free from pain now and at peace. It's hard to carry on when you have had such a dreadful loss but you will have so many people thinking of you and your daughter!

Love, xxx
