Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / June 2007

That's definitely the current sentiment :-(. My mother annoys the crap out
of me. I just want to scream. I could have been living in a fully organised
house in February (i.e. fully organised after the move), but she just does
everything she can think of to delay things, to slow ...

Posting from google, thanks to my isp's frequent lengthy interruptions
of news group access.  This has led to my learning something cool
about the google groups feature.  Did you know that if you go to the

I had a dream last night starring Jim & Pam from The Office (US version) and
they couldn't even get it together in my drem LOL
I can't believe I had TV characters in my dream, does that mean I ran out of
dream material??

that things slow down in the summer?!?
We are more busy now than when the kids were in school!
Just today it's swim class in the morning, more swimming in the afternoon,
yoga in the late afternoon and tonight is movie night.  (kids don't watch tv

I haven't done very well so far this summer w/ planning our lunches.  In the
past week we did fast food 2 times, that's 2 times more than we have done in
the past 4 or 5 months.   I have also served Mac N Cheese at least 2 times
and I'm not happy about that either.

Today we went to my parents' place for Father's Day.
We went there for dinner.  My grandma and my one uncle were also there (my
aunt and their son were both working, so rather than spend Father's Day
alone, he came for dinner) and only one of my brothers were there as well.

So my daughter Holli who is 3 Months old has had a problem spitting up
since she was born. Just recently she started getting very fussy after
her 1st morning feeding. She cries until she falls asleep from crying.
something in my gut is telling me that something else is wrong but the

I don't know how long this will be up for. Its of a lady driving into
flood waters and getting stuck live on the news. Its not so much her
predicament that made me laugh but the commentary of the reporter and

Just thought I'd check in to see how everyone is doing. I don't have much
time to check in here these days since I've become a facebook addict. Anyone
else discovered this yet? I'm actually much busier with my kids (my own and
daycare)

My casual teaching assistant job application turned out to be much more
formal than I expected but I was given the job and I had a phone call
this afternoon asking if I can do all of next thursday - yay! My first
proper earnings since K was born :)

Though not intentional, much like the little mouse at Deja's house. About
two weeks ago a tiny little kitty was thrown out in a shoe box in front of
our house. He still weighs much less than a half a pound.
He's really cute though he is having a bit of a rough time socializing. We ...

To our resident Fathers!  I hope you enjoy your day!

Happy Father's Day, all you father types reading out there!

On Memorial Day, DH was wheeling  the trash bin out to the curb. He yelled
"Hey! Look at this!" . Walking up the driveway was a mouse, a white, pet
type, domestic mouse. She was *walking* - not darting, nor scurrying, nor
running. It was a miracle that he didn't step on her, or ...

Well, I have done it.
Gotten myself back on track w/ my diet.  I know it's only 9:20 a.m. lol, but
I can tell that I'll do fine today.
I have all of my meals planned for the day and I have left my own personal
