Lots of cleaning huh? Counting those exercise calories? I have to on mine because cleaning my house definitely isn't a daily part of my routine...although it should be.

Sorry to hear a trip away is categorized as "nightmare". Hopefully you'll have some "sweet dreams" in there somewhere?

It seems like just when you need a piece of child equipment to hold out for another six months, that's when it decides to break. I think they're manufactured that way. I'm fortunate because we have a lot of secondhand children stores here. But even sometimes that seems like a waste of money for things when you know you're just going to be giving it away or storing it away in about three months. Hope you're able to find what you need.

Wow! Beautiful girl.


I would (well, Hubby would REALLY love) our next one to be a girl.

I can totally understand that. Boys are exhausting & dirty & loud. With a girl, you have at least a LITTLE hope that they'll be cute & wear dresses forever. :laugh: You wouldn't believe the comments I got when I was pregnant with our third when we found out she was a girl. I didn't care what we had by any stretch of the immagination but people (STRANGERS at that) would say, "Oh, good! you got your girl!" or "Oh, thankgoodness! You won't have THREE boys!" Ridiculous. :grumble:

That being said, T is a lot of fun. She's just different than the boys. It is like some good female energy in the house or something.

My now 17 year old daughter was exhausting and dirty and loud IN a dress. She was a frilly skirt and Easter bonnet wearing dust bunny. Think PigPen from Peanuts in a dress. She'd go out in the morning HAVING to wear her hat from Easter and one of her play dresses and be the dirtiest child by the end of the day. She was precious. (still is, by the way)

Good Morning Mommies !!!

Well I took Maeve to the Hospital since the Dr wouldnt be able to see her til 310p She was having coughing fits to where she couldnt catch her breath!! Scary!! The hospital checked for Flu Rsv and did a chest xray..... Results were Broncitis and a middle ear infection absolutly no strep throat like the peditrican said...... But they said that she has scarring on her lungs from when she had pheunmonia ... and that she is a greater risk for it and other lung problems now. Her peditrician said that there would be no effects and not to worry about her lungs ARGH LAST STRAW ... I called to switch drs. my niece who has cerebalpalsy has a good peditrician so I called got in BUT because the kids have medicad as a secondary insurance we cant go till april 1st ... so the follow ups are going to go to the crappy dr. But on a good note Maeve is starting to feel much better with the new antiobiotic that the hospital put her on , they said the one that the dr put her on wouldnt have helped anything ..... But I am still confused as to WHY Cali is still running that slight 99.3-100. temp? Maeves temp we found out runs low 96-97s so when she has a temp it is always higher than what the themometer reads.... Could Cali run higher all the time or is this something to worry about??

I am feeling pretty good lately except for TOM and I want to eat everything insight..... Ran on the treadmill for a little bit yesterday man that is hard when your not used to running ... But my dog Otis loves the treadmill now! Spent time cleaning the girls room, I dont understand how it gets so messy so fast.... We have a 5 bedroom house two rooms down stairs , mine and the girls rooms the three up stairs are for our kids that come twice a year.... BUT no one ever likes to sleep up there... I wish Cali would sleep up there she could have her own room and not have to share with Maeve cause that room is small and sometimes it is hard for her to sleep when Maeve stays up cause she gets noisey... Maeve always used to be in bed first but she has changed so much she never wants to go to bed now and never wants to take a nap which she used to tell me nap everyday... ?? I dont know... I guess I am just blabbing today blah blah I guess I will shut up LOL

Thanks for reading

Everyone have a wonderfull healthy day!!

The trip is already a nightmare I am driving my father in law to the uk 41/2 hour ferry trip then 2 hour drive to pick up a puppy but he is driving me crazy he is so needy I wish I hadnt offered to take him he has been on the phone every day should I take this should I do this what will he eat where are we going to stop blah blah blah I am leaving my kids with their nana and grandad from tomorrow night as we are up very early we have to be at the ferry by 7am. Hubby is coming too so hopefully that will break the tension as will my ipod, He is a nice bloke but doesnt travel well and he didnt have to come I would have happily gone on my own it is going to be like travelling with a child except I have the day off aarrrgggghhhh. Sorry I will be glad on sunday morning 6 am when we dock we catch the ferry home at 215 am its going to be a long night. Then my mother in law who is already on holiday with friends gets back sunday night and she keeps asking me to check in on him to make sure he is coping with the puppy he is 60 years old no mental illness its just annoying now.

I get you with girls and dresses though I NEVER wanted girls but from the day I did the pregnancy test with charley I knew it was a girl I had no morning sickness with my son but boy was I rough with my girlies. She is so cute in dresses loves lip balm and her nails painted and lots of body sparkly stuff really girly but at the same time there is nothing she wont do so she behaves like a boy as well really rough and tumble I love her so much well I love all of them.

Cleaning all done got to sort a couple of cupboards out next week but thats it trying to keep on top of it so I dont have to break my back before we go to florida I hate leaving the house dirty t has to be spotless I like it to still smell clean when we get back but with going for three weeks I dont know if that possible. (13 weeks today woohoo cant wait to relax by the pool in the florida sun)

Wow! Beautiful girl.

If I get one like that...she'll fit right in. :laugh: But honestly, I could use some more feminine energy in this house. Even the cat is all boy! Darting out of dark corners to grab your ankles as you walk by.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

We're the opposite. It's me, Harley, and our 2 girls dogs. We are so out-female-ing my poor husband being the only male. :laugh:

Tell me about it. How Clean Is Your House? came on today. That show always makes me take a look around at what needs doing. The kids were eating lunch when it came on and my oldest was like "Look Mommy their house is soo clean." UGH! They went down for a nap and I kicked into over drive. I dusted everything in sight, washed and polished our large leather couch, then waxed and buffed the wood table and benches...I was sweating and exhausted when I finished. Wouldn't you know the minute I start a movie and think to take a load off, the oldest comes downstairs and naptime was officially over.:noway:

I havn't been on in so long and I started to sabotage myself..I had been off sugar for soooo long and now I started to have little bites here and there which has now developed in to full on cravings...I need motvation..since I'm at home all day with kids it feels like I'm falling back into rut!!! Maybe I need a challenge!

for vqueen --i'm doing the 800 miles in 2009 challenge. having fun with it so far--it has its own thread so check it out. maybe it's for you
