Topic: Anyone wanna swap families? Posted: 26 September 2007 at 6:28pm |
Grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!
Yesterday I got a phone call from my aunty. Just to clarify she lives in Auckland but I often tell people I have no family in Auckland coz they're neither use nor ornament. But back to the phone call...
Her: Hi it's Aunty J here, did your parents leave a box of files at your house last time they were here?
Me: (and bear in mind that I am standing in the doctors surgery while the gremlins get their MenzB jabs AND they are sick to boot) I'm fine, thanks for asking!
So I told her I'd look for the stupid files when I got home. Mum rings tonight and while she did at least say "how are you" half way thru telling her about Sienna pooing all thru the carseat and then painting her hair with it coz she has a tummy bug she says "I can't talk, I'm just ringing about those files."
So I hunt thru the flaming box (which BTW is NOTHING to do with me at all!)all the while she's grumping about my aunty. Then I get a call on the other line. It's my aunty. So I cross over and tell her it's not in the box. She makes me look thru every single section of the file which has about 600 pages in it. Then I hear my Dad call thru to her on Skype and he's yelling at her coz she can't find the papers, and she's yelling at me coz I can't find them, and Dad's grumping at Mum and all the while the tax man is waiting for the papers for the stupid audit.
HELLO?!?!? Am I missing something? Is this somehow my fault? Oh no, hang on, IT'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH ME! And the last thing I want to do when I have Maya tired and grumping, both gremlins sick with conjunctivitis and a tummy bug AND I'm feeling sorry for myself is deal with all this crap!
ARGHGHGHGHGHGHGH!
So, wanna swap families?

No thanks, my sick children and lack of family help is enough for me at the moment.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

Oh gee! Thats horrible. You should have left the gremlins here with us, it was us that infected them after all  And Isla was happier when she had her wee mates to bully.  Maybe u need another holiday. No-one would be able to find u here!

Oh big hugs!!!
We had the tummy bug in our house to I was hoping that my Sienna didn't give it to the gremlins as she was sick on Monday and then I was sick yesterday.
I hope everyone is starting to feel better in your house now.
Take care

I don't think it was you guys Floss coz Becks' wee ones have had it too so I'd say mine probably picked it up in Palmy somewhere and passed it around, we maybe even gave it to Sienna?
But we definitely didn't get is from Isla so stop being sorry Kellz! And don't joke or I wil pack them both up in a box and courier them to you!
LOL Kat, thanks for the offer of MIL but I think I'll pass
Thanks for the smiles

Well can I blame it on the MCDonald's cos Andrew doesn't have it and he wasn't there on Thursday. I have it as well and just snuck out to get something for it as 3 days on I had had enough of sitting on the toilet. I got some ginger ale as well as i've been told that settles sore tummies.

No thanks!
But I'll swap bodies if you like - I'm suffering badly with m/s this time around; have major headaches and just feel off colour!
