Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

I want to check if pics can upload from BB...

Hi Ladies

Nice to hear froms ome of the moms!

Helen, i am so so so sorry to hear about your SIL, it must be devastating! You has been so strong willed! You will all me in my thoughts! Nina and Oliver both sounds so adorable and looks they are doing so well. I love the news pics of Nina and Oliver!

Julz i am glad you are enjoying your new job and finding it a good challenge! It is quite hectic not having a maid - we only have one coming in once a week - but i feel like a day later the house it just as untidy - constantly having to vacuum as the freaking dog is shedding like crazy.

Yoza why are you going overseas?

Anyway ladies, hope you have a great day

Morning everyone

Julz I'm so glad that you are enjoying your job so much.

Yoza when are you going overseas again??? I'm sure that I missed it.

Helen, it's really said about your SIL and I pray for Theo & his family.

Ally, I LOVE the new look of your blog. Great job!

Everyone else I trust that you are all well.

AFU, Cole is well but is doing this thing where he is SHOUTING all the time. It drives me nuts and no matter how much I reprimand him about it he just continues doing it.

My driving lesson are going well. Have not booked a Test Date yet but so far so good. Work is busy but I'm not complaining.

Hope that you all have a wonderful day.

Hello strangers!!

I have been keeping up to date via email, but just don't get too much chance to come onto moomie plus I have banned myself from surfing the net at work. Not that I get a chance to anyway.

Very busy with the new job and enjoying it. Think I needed a year away from bookkeeping and now I am back and enjoying the challenge and it certainly is one. They were quite behind so more like forensic auditing than accounting, but once I am done which will be by the end of Feb then it will be great. Lots to do but manageable. The trip to work and back is also fine so very happy.

Dylan is his usual self. Really funny these days and so sharp. They must have started teaching him afr at school cause he now knows the days of the week in afr. He is still sleeping well too. Struggling to dicipline a bit as he has an answer for everything and sometimes they make too much sense. Funny though. Still small and runs everywhere.


My sister was here for 10 days with her hubby. Went away with them for the weekend and it was so nice. Dylan just loves going away and adores Nats and Matt. They will be his guardians should something happen to both Neil and I and they really do adore him.

Not much else from my side. usual annoying health things but being more positive. Was off work for two days for a couple of mosquito bites that went pear shaped so that was frustrating especially knowing that I have so much work to do. Neil is also working his butt off and comes home to work too so really hectic. No maid which isn't too bad but it means that you need to keep up to date at all times and these past two weeks with my foot and flu have me behind in housework. Grr.

Lisha glad you still get time to update us on Shrey. Glad things are going well at school too.

Nicole still crazy busy as always. Well done on weight loss start. Not easy but I think you are doing the right thing buy just cutting back so as not to totally deprive yourself. if you drink coke that may be the cause of the headaches if you are not drinking as much. Caffiene withdrawl perhaps???

How are all the new babies. Simone, Zee and Christi sounds like you are really enjoying your boys!!

Mandy how is Jenna. Sleeping better???

Helen so sorry about your Sister in Law. That is so so sad. Must be really hard for the family too. On a lighter note, Nina sounds too sweet for words.

CT ladies we will settle on a date soonest. I promise.

Need to get back to the washing and ironing.

Oh Dylan also uses both hands. We have been told to just leave him be. Some kids only choose side at age 6. Dylan seems to write with his right hand, but he does most other things with his left hand which seems to be stronger. Will see what happens.

Hello ladies

It is awfully quiet around here but I never have the time to post these days Our phonelines are down at work so I have a few minutes spare.

Nina is down to one nap a day most days (eish, already!!!) and Oliver hasn't been having a sleep for months now, they are usually both ratty and irritable by 4pm as well so I usually have them both in bed by 6pm lol. Problem with Oliver is that he's overtired by then so he messes around in his room for a while, I find it so frustrating especially as I've had to listen to the tired whining until bathtime!

Nina is picking up words left right and centre, its amazing the difference between her and Oliver in that department. I can now ask her to get something, like bring me your shoes/hairbrush etc, very sweet. Only problem I'm having is that she is rapidly going off milk, she has one (200ml) cup of milk a day and that's it, I can't remember how much milk she's supposed to be having but I'm sure up until the age of 2 its something like 500mls...I'm giving her plenty of yoghurt instead to hopefully make up the difference.

Oliver is doing well at playgroup and I we've found a pre-school for him for next year, we're number 2 on the waiting list so just have to keep FX he gets a place, its just around the corner from where he goes now so hopefully it will all work out. Think Primary school is going to be a whole different story as we're out of the catchment area for all the primary schools but we'll cross those bridges as we come to them. Maybe we'll win the lottery between now and then so we can send them ot private schools hehehe.

Got some bad news last week, my SIL (the one who has been fighting breast cancer) has been told by the docs that there is little they can do for her now except pain management, her body is so toxic that her heart is under major strain and she's very high risk for a heart attack, any more chemo will kill her. They've said that within 2 weeks of stopping all her treatments she is going to start feeling it and the cancer will probably start growing very rapidly so she is on the last part of her journey now. Shooo it is so sad and it must be so awful for her but she is remaining positive and will fight with whatever she has left and we'll just wait and see. The docs have said maybe 3 months but Lee-Anne is a real fighter, she wasn't meant to make it to Nina's birth so she's a walking miracle really.

Ally sounds like you're up to exciting things this year, when do we get to hear about it?!

Lisha- Oliver also swaps hands, his teacher suggested we encourage the right as that is the one he uses most of the time and he definitely has more control with his right. I am trying to teach him to write his name at the moment and we've got him a couple of those write and wipe clean books and he loves tracing the letters although he does it all back to front and has no real idea of what he's doing lol, I do it more to help him get learn how to hold the pen properly. He also isn't particularly good at colouring and doesn't really seem to enjoy it much. I think its a boy thing lol. Weirdly though, he favours his left leg for kicking a ball and riding a scooter...go figure.

Otherwise not much to report Life is much the same

sorry i meant i voted for ally on that website - only realised i put it by Lisha once i had posted lol.
