Jan & Feb 2010 Mommies

Morning ladies

juanita - Yes its cronic, both myself and Amandalynn has partly outgrown it, but there are still traces left. When Amandalynn gets upset it becomes a problem. About your little one not sitting and eating. I've now supernannied Lorelai, you have to sit to get food and after 2 weeks of forcing her it now happens on its own.

Zodwa - i cant do that, i feel less of a person when i do. Control issues. but i try to open up as much as possible, but its hard.

Now for a bit of issues... Lorelai has this new (for the last month) thing about hitting us when she gets her way. But she takes all her anger out on Amandalynn, on saturday she hit her in the face with a toy, now its one big bump on her forehead. Dont know what to do about it and I know i have to deal with it now, but i dont have the energy emotionally. Amandalynn is not the type of child that will hit back, she will run to me each time Lorelai hurts her. Im so tired of dealing with all the crap!!!

Hey hey, am still alive. So happy, we are going home (SA) for the 1st time in over a year next Friday, too happy. DH's family has never seen Ruru so everybody is xcited.
I already know what Im gonna eat when I land in SA, my 1st meal will b a boerewors roll, I WILL HUNT IT DOWN!!!! Then I'll have a russian, them umvubo (pap with maas) oh, I plan on gaining weight!!

Rhodine Strongs girl. Do whatever u need to do to cope with ur daily life & esp with shaunie right now. Take meds if thats the solution. Im a believer in "when one door closes, another one opens", that normally gets me going thru the day & its always the case.

Charlotte Try not to bottle things in so much!!! U need to have that one person who u can cry uncontrollably infront of (4 me its DH, not even my sister, who's my bestie has that previledge!!)
You cant b strong all the time, u also need someone to lean on..... This will sound cliche & bluh but I prayed b4 DH came along. Im not very religious but I wld pray & cry my lil eyes out!! That always helped, though I felt silly talking to someone I cant see & wondering what ppl wld think if they saw me...

Juanita Glad to hear our lil princess is getting better. Today is the 1st day Ruru's teeth didnt bother him & I didnt have to give him medication. They are not out yet though. Am still waiting for more drama

Took Ruru for a haircut today. For some reason I thought he wldnt cry so much with the hairdresser!! Child was not having it, he cried so much, so hard I told him to stop. Now the one side is shorter than the other & everything is uneven. Am tempted to leave it as is bcos Ruru crying really really traumatises me, cant stand it. Needed a pckt of "eet sum more" & 2 glasses of wine to get over the whole ordeal.
Im never taking him for a haircut till he can understand what we doing to him & why.....

By the way Charlotte, Im absolutely inlove with AmandaDylan... the wine story cracks me up!!!! Put a huge smile on my face today!!

Glad things are better with Liam @ Juno. Leandi still not eating the way she used to, and also prefered the milk during the day, so i took it away over the weekend and she seemed to have much more of a appetite now (and thank goodness, didnt have a problem with no milk). i think one knows when they are not feeling well and eats less because of this, or when they are just being finicky, which she is! There is just too much to do and see for her to have to sit on her bum for 10 minutes to eat.
Also bothers me more than it should actually coz im not used to her eating poorly. She has a VERY VERY HEALTHY appetite! Hence the chubby cheeks and arms!

Shaim Charlotte, sorry to hear that Lorelai is also on chronic now. i really hope they do outgrow it. even though it is in your family history, there is still a chance!!

Im still awaiting the dreaded molars. Leandi hasnt cut any teeth in over 4 months!!! and i suspect they are also going to come out together like the rest of her teeth. really hoping it will easy. (one can only hope)

Juno we are going to Port St Johns, on the wild coast. Nice peaceful family holiday. Just the 3 of us. Going to be bliss. Just far is all, about 10 hours drive. Will have to do most of it during the night.

JUNO - WE ALL HAVE ASTHMA AND ECZEMA SO IT WILL BE PERMANENT, AMANDALYNN WAS ON CRONIC MEDS FOR 2 YEARS FROM A YEAR SO NOW LORELAI IS THERE AS WELL.

THATS THE PROBLEM I DONT LET ANYTHING OUT REALLY, I BLOG ABOUT IT AND TELL MY BESTI AND YOU GUYS BUT IT SEEMS NOT TO BE ENOUGH. I DID DRUMMIES FOR 7 YEARS AND THE ONLY PROBLEM THAT THE SPORT TAUGHT ME WAS TO PUT UP A BIG FAKE SMILE AND TAKE ON THE NEXT DAY. SO I PUT ON MY POKER FACE EVERY MORNING AND PRETEND THAT ALL IS WELL IN LALA LAND. IM TOOOOO SCARED TO SHOW EMOTION AS I MIGHT CRACK.

MY MOM ALWAYS TELLS ME THAT WHEN THEY ARE NOT EATING AND ONLY DRINK MILK HTEN THEY WILLBE FINE. APARENTLY AS KIDS WE ATE NOTHING BUT PORRIDGE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AS WE DID NOT WANT FOOD.

@ Juanita. Glad to hear Leandi's better. Oh what I'd do for rain!! At last it does however seem to be cooling down in the W Cape. Where are you going on holiday?

@ Charlotte. This is just a once off thing I assume - the asthma? You've been under a hell of a lot of pressure for a while now so I'm not surprised - just look after you as well as possible under the circumstances. What do you usually do as an outlet for pressure?

Rhodine hope you're feeling a little better today.

Had a really good wkend myself. Went to Franshoek for a visit and lunch. It reminded me how easy we have had it with Liam (ok that's a relative term). He was in this sparkling mood and just spent all his time smiling and laughing - special moments like these make it all worth while don't they.

All settled down with the teeth though still not eating much at all. He is far more interested in his milk and I struggle to get him to eat solids these days and he'll only graze if I let him feed himself.

Have a good week everybody.

JUNO - IT IS AMAZING THE MOLARS TOGETHER THING.

SO WHAT ARE THE PLANS WITH OUR MOOMIE MEET? SATURDAY 26 MARCH IS A GOOD DATE? BUT AFTER 12:00 PLEASE.

lOLLIPOP - THEY SYA MORE THE YOU DO SOMETHING THE EASIER IT GETS, ITS KIND OF THE SAME WITH THE COURT, I KNOW IT TAKES A LONG TIME AND IM MORE PATIENT NOW.

Hi moomies

update from my side: Lorelai has now been put on cronic asthma meds. Yeah for me. I had a little breakdown on Saturday because I could not find her birth certificate. So i cracked, I completly lost it. The changes over the last couple of weeks I handled weel, but not finding a piece of paper sent me over the edge.

Lorelai had her portfolio shoot over the weekend and the booked her for a hour and it only took 20minutes to get the 50 pics they needed. Awesome.

How was everyones weekend?
