Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Vix I am so thrilled you got to spend some alone time with C! I am sure it is going to make a difference.

Glad Jono is better.

Nicole glad you enjoyed the class and glad hubby got to look after K.

I realise how fortunate I am to have such a hands on partner.

Simone where are you???

Hi gals,

Jono's fever is gone and he slept through til 6am (Nelria I can see your angry face right now) Unfortunately Alex was up at his usual 4am but if I can push him soon I will have 2 sleeping through babies @ 4m old! When I think I had to fight with C at 7m with thsleep training.

The granite was fitted this morning oooooo it's looking good.

Christi- I am taking pics but I haven't had time to get on the PC to upload yet sorry.

Ange- I was thinking about you and Cole yesterday, How are his tantrums?

Yoza- how is Buhle's ear infection?

Helen- how you feeling today?

Julz- I think C will be in a nappy for sleep for a long time yet, days are perfect but I'm not even going to attempt nights until he starts asking to pee before bed or during the night, that much I'll let him do himself. I can deal with 1 nappy a day. Just wish I could find cheaper pull ups

Nicole- how was your class last night? And how did DH cope with K?

Lisha- C is also suffering with the molars now, grrr when will this ever end? He also wants to join Elwyn in bed when his teeth hurt.

I dropped the twins at my mums yesterday because I had to collect C from creche and they needed feeding too but she coped, she roped my stepdad into helping but at least they coped and C and I went to checkers after school. Nothing fun but we spens about 30-40min together alone and he was so happy, I have to admit I enjoyed it too and he was much nicer and more accepting of me the rest of the day/evening.

Hi ladies

Thanks ladies, After my class last night K gave me tons of kisses and love He only fall asleep at 21:30 cause my course only ended at 20:40.

Nelria enjoy our socializing today

Julz, Dylan sounds just to sweet, i love the names of the puppies I think K will also be in his night time nappy for a while still, apparently he makes no accidents at school, but at home he loves to take his undies off and pee on the grass. lol.

Lisha glad you are feeling better, and fx that Shrey doesnt catch the gastro, its always nasty when they have it.

Dh did a really good job with K last night, apparently they had loads of fun, but DH also realizes now that it aint that easy either, like i mentioned yesterday, its been months since K has had to watch K by himself for longer than an hour.

K was so quiet this morning, he would point to a place on his face and say "kiss here mommy please" so cute.

Photography class was really nice and interesting last night - just very long, from 17:00 unti 20:40.

Busy again today, hope everyone has a great day.

Morning ladies

Nicole I hope you're feeling better this morning and that K was having a better morning too. Like the others said we all have our days so please don't beat yourself up over it.

Vix how is Jono this morning? Hope you got better sleep last night.
Sure your mom will learn to cope with babies, she just needs to take some time to know them better.

Angelique sounds like you guys really have your hands full there, hope it's all calmed down now. Cole sounds absolutely precious

Mandy how's Cam doing? No more bites from teh kids at school I hope?

Shrey is sleeping pretty well most nights (there I go jinxing myself lol), except that he insists on getting into our bed and sleeping close to me. I see his molar have stopped coming out so only a small part there and maybe that is bugging him again?

My gran is doing so much better. She really is improving in her childrens homes where there are toddlers to keep her going.

Nelria hope you guys get the home loan sorted asap xxx Enjoy your socialising today

Julz hope Dylan gets used to Gummy and isn't too dissappointed with Clumsy. Shame who choses the names for the dogs lol?

AFM we had a good evening & night. Had a great few minutes at the beach last night. Got to love how warm the ocean still is but we did have a scorcher of a day yesterday. Shrey is afraid of the waves so didn't last long in there, we'll have to persevere and take him more often.
I'm feeling 100% today (first time in 2 weeks) so happy about that.
Gastro is doing a nasty round in my family at the moment. My niece had it on Saturday, both my sisters have it since yesterday and my mom since last night I had a bit of nauseau since Tuesday but feeling better this morning. Just praying really hard that Shrey doesn't get it, he really can't afford to lose any weight

Morning ladies

It is so nice and cool today!! Bring on winter.

dylan is doing well with potty training. He is fine at school. At home it is a bit more trickly but for the most part, he only sleeps with a nappy and I think he will for a while still.

Nelria I hear Dylan talking to Tina our dog and I also realise just how bossy I am. wow serious tone he uses.

So we went to see clumsy as I may have mentioned. Dylan liked him and all, but he was already taken. We then chose Gummy who is really sweet. Dylan now wants clumsy. Grr these kids remember everything.

Mandy hope you find great cake.

Ally going to try your Dijon chicken. What can I use instead of leaks and can it be bakes or not?

Nicole we all get agro with our kids from time to time. I certainly have many moments that I am not proud of at all.

Lisha hope your gran is better!

Helen how do you feel after your meltdown?

Lelani how are you.

Vix Dylan and C are twins for sure.

Angie hope you will be at the next meet!

hi ladies

helen - think back to des LOL me and my MAJOR meltdown at my sus cried 2 days straight so yours is very acceptable lol and needed like i said i cried then ranted then a heavy load off

vix - aaaaah your outlay explains alot guess I am lucky having a contractor/handyman boet he did all his cupboards himself and all his contractors get him best prices (for example we broke a marble stand of my mum he organised for it to be fixed FREE shoeewee - so his kitchen (u saw it at my babyshower the big house) only set him back 30 000 in total

lisha - no packing yet just want loan first so as to not jinx it itching to start though

ally - u mentioned c takes abi for pee at 11? does he picke her up in sleep? and she settles again?


juls - go spiderman

re - 2 kids and coping - i agree xen easier than lea and i dont really find it hard at all I am very busy person and have always been able to multitask and get by on extremely little sleep and am just happy go lucky so moods dont efect me - as u know xen still wakes 3-6 times every night (running on 4 bottles now) him and lea up before 5 religously, I go to bed at 10 (sucker for punishment i know) and then out most days but i prefer it this way and am honestly ready for Nr 3 but brett wont allow it grrrrrrrrr

ladies did i tell u my dogs costing me more money again !!!!!!!!! freakin hell now they tore 2 of my mums pillows (kitchen chairs) and i havent even told her still trying to find same material to do it on the sly as its one of those things she covered inplastic for lea and complains about man oh man i dread not finding it then having to face the music grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

nicole - sounds normal to me LOL when lea refuses i get woes bedonderd and tell her off or smack etc and she plays me now in games and quite sad to hear her replay all my sterness like she will tell her poppie time to sleep, dont cry, dont call, dont play etc and i know thats what she hears but one has to do things to get things done and we can only be kind so far then we have to be realistic as to get the thing done luckily kids live in the moment for now and dont keep grudges

off to cofee with buddy (moomie lizzy and nats) now as I am prepping for big assignment in week or so so need to get my social fix in now as after assignment its me and packing then me and unpacking then me and business re baby mum groups oh and refurbing etc obviously supervising all if not doing it myself lol as i mentioned sucker for punishment LOL
