January & February Mummies 2008

Morning

Liz, how are you today? I hope you got a good night sleep and have a good day today.
What day is DH home? I just remembered he's Hannah's birthday buddy! Are you doing anything for his birthday?

eeek Tishy! Sounds like you're off to the South Pole!

Janey, don't feel bad about venting, honey. You've held it in for so long it was bound to come out at some point!
We're all here for you
I'm so glad your results were benign. And I agree, the other tests will be "ruling out" tests. It's great they're being so proactive about it!

Kate, Hannah's beginning to act like a 2 year old, too. It's pretty funny - except when she's mid-tanty and is throwing herself around and bangs her head on stuff
I'm sure the novelty will wear off! But she's still as delightful as always, just got to try to minimize the opportunity for Toddler Rage
Are you doing anything special on Monday

Freesia, Livvy's cake looks delicious!! I love those little snail lollies. They're so cute!
Silly Lilypie, your ticker is still freaking me out

My night was long because of me I just couldn't get comfortable and felt ill.
I feel better this morning, just exhausted.
But it's a lovely day and DH and I are off to lunch while Hannah plays at Nan and Poppa's.
Early lunch, so I can come home and nap again

Sounds like Harry's going to have a really neat day. It's so hard to believe they're 2 isn't it? It's gone so fast! Looks like it's going to be a great day for the beach.

Have a great time out this morning Charly. I'll go and fix my ticker now. Like TA said, it didn't come right. Bugger, I hate doing tickers.

eta, done! I changed my preggie one because the lilypie one would always end up a day late for some reason even though it starts off correct initially

OMG, it is too! wow that's gone fast!

Just wondering if anyone can help with this, what do you do to get rid of old oil (cooking, vegetable, etc) that you don't want anymore?

Gosh, I've never thought of how to get rid of oil.
Perhaps you could call your local McD's or KFC and ask if you can dispose of it with them, they should have tallow bins that get collected for disposal.
Or your local mall's food court?
I know my mall has a HUGE tallow bin that all the food places dump into. It gets emptied once a week.

Happy Birthday Harry!!!!!!!!

I had a crap sleep and josh was up early so im in a bad mood and poor josh has worn most of it although he did tip out a bottle of water in my bed while i was trying to snooze i feel so bad i have no patience at the moment and end up yelling a lot and he seems to think that since ive been sick so long and my sister has been watching him he can be naughty like now he is currently pulling the trays out of the oven and if i take him away from it he will have a tantrum i will get hit and kicked and soon as i look away he will head back to it again. Distraction only works if he is in the mood. Why does my child have to be so pig headed like his father!!! (although it might be me as well judging by my mums stories of me as a child)

I know all i do is complain im just not coping and i feel like ive worn out my offers of help with most my family because Josh is just such hard work at the moment. Mum had 3 girls and cant get over how different boys are. My sis is pretty good and will come as soon as i ask but i could tell she was starting to get worn out by it and she just got a parttime job at baby factory (yay discount). Im going to talk to my mw at my next appointment in a couple of weeks and see what she suggests. I need to try book josh into a daycare for a couple of days i think and get him on the waiting list for kindy.

Ok i think i just needed to get that out i feel a little better already.

Josh is trying to help me now so i better post this before i lose it and catch up later

run the hot tap and tip it down the sink    If i have heaps either wait till its hard and then put in plastic bag then in rubbish or the compost bin - prolly not spose to but its being removed soon so lots has ended up in it.

Yay for 200 days MP (still seems like forever aye) and yay for almost double digits Freesia and awesome cake Liwy might be a cake decorater one day yum.

Not long till DH is home now Liz im sure it will fly by

It's not leftover fat and oil from pans, it's a couple of decorative bottles of oil with herbs and stuff in it that I want to get rid of. If I just put them in the bin it takes up a good part of our weight allowance. We have some expired peanut oil in a jar which I want to dump also. It's probably about 2 litres worth so I can't put it in the sink or it'll just sit on top of the water in the pipes. I was going to tip it out outside but I'm not sure if it'll encourage bugs to come and our property's pretty small so everywhere is close to the house.

TA, at cg yesterday there were quite a few of us sharing how much of a handful our kids have become lately. Livvy had the mother of all meltdowns yesterday and I couldn't even be in her sight or I'd set her off again. Not just crying either, full-on screaming. We seem to be going alright so far today so I have my fingers crossed. It makes it so hard when everything becomes a battle with them. No helpful advice from me sorry but I can relate

And I've been meaning to ask for ages also about what breastpumps everyone found really good. I don't really want to hire them to try them out. I tried a medela electric and didn't like it last time then got a second hand Avent manual one which was better. My sister got a tommee tippee one which I never tried and they're really the only ones I've heard of. What was your favourite?

Hmm, you just gave me an idea ... maybe when we go visiting I could quietly "decorate" someone else's shelves

If it's crowded then you won't notice it

Has anyone else got the new FB status message. I don't know if I want to post mine ... "I licked an iPod at the dinner table because I'm sexy and I do what I want." It sounds a little freaky
