Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / August 2004

I had a silly argument with someone in our customer care/insurance dept
today who would not listen to reason and then ran to the National Sales
Director.   FFS it was a storm in a teacup and in 20 mins we would have both
calmed down and got off our high horses, as it is now we both ...

True story, I was happy. My girlfriend and I had been dating for over a
year, and so we decided to get married. My parents helped us in every way,
my friends encouraged me, and my girlfriend? She was a dream! There was only
one thing bothering me, very much indeed, and that one ...

Next door neighbours have a SOLD sign in the garden and the auctioneer tells
us that NFH across the road are Sale agreed supject to contracts being
signed.
Way hey happy days!!!

Hey Guys,
I think my little one is getting a cold.  Sneezing more than usual and
coughing.  We don't have a runny nose and even though he doesn't talk, I can
tell his "voice" is a little off.  He seems chipper and pleasant as usual,

Where do the cloth diapering mommas find their nappies for big kids? Alena's
25lbs (or around there) and has completely outgrown her old nappies.
Now she's in disposables, but they're eating her bum. :( (She's got two
sores on her bum from them, plus a terrible rash.)

Big yay first :)
following Katherines good allergy test results we've been trying her on
various foods that have been excluded as just in case.
Yesterday we tried her on peanuts - no problem. Very cool.

I was going to change my nickname monthly to reflect how far i am from goal
BUT I had changed my goal along the way . So -
I am going to do it this way - to reflect how much I've lost.
Makes me happy to see it :)

It's getting worse and worse as time progresses and our flight to Europe
moves closer: our family pressing us to come here, visit there, meet this
and that. But most of all the question "when can we babysit DS?" is

Woohoo, you are a youngster :-)

well day 3 of rash and it has spread some to my back and legs I decide to go
to the doc (with some nudging from dh on his day off to put a move on. Plus
he knows I'm not fond of Western Medicine.)  Funny thing is my doc's name is
Dr. R*a*s*h!  LOL!

I'm seriously not having a good week.
I'm sitting here in tears because I just looked at DH's bank statement.
He's blown almost $1400 on crap and not paid a single bill all month. Not
one.

DD is 2 3/4 and has become phobic about the bath since she pulled the plug
before I'd taken all her bath toys out. Tonight we've spent an hour (me, DH,
DD) first me sitting in the bath with no water, her shrieking "Come out.
Come out.", then we told her that we had special bath ...

There were times -- mere moments of bent reality -- that Spawn's sheer
existence, her very soul, was in question this past year. But being a
resilient sprite and clever beyond her years, she beat the Vegas Odds
again.

Happy Birthday Anni!  Hope its a good one, Sweetie.
