Hard to believe its Nov!! seems criminal to be thinking xmas with the beautiful weather LOL

 

[apple84]

Hmmm it's pouring rain here. But the weekend was gorgeous which was great for my sister's wedding.

 

[Vickie]

I know Sara! I was thinking about how weird it was to be thinking of Christmas while I was enjoying the nice warm sun today

 

[Reba]

holy crap that was a LOT to read... skimmed most of it.


I've deactivated my facebook - mostly because it was getting too painful to see the "hurray we're pregnant" messages from people. I can understand your rage at events though Wendy...

Umm I totally forget everything else!

Oooh Christmas - for some reason this year I'm already excited about Christmas. I've already started shopping for table decorations for our Annunal Friend's Christmas Dinner.

Hope everyone is well. I'm suffering from another cold. Frustrated on the TTC front. Struggling to work up the work ethic to get my school work done! That about sums it up!

 

[Try Rocking]

I've skimmed too :\

Hi new girls!! I'm Rachel (30), married to Peter (38) and we have a daughter, Amira (2 in 2 months!). We live in the Kootenays in BC
I'm not around much so you'll forget all of that!


I totally forgot what I wanted to comment on. It's 4:18 here so I blame that.
I woke up hacking chunks of lung out almost an hour ago so I came downstairs to suck on a halls or 2 (on #2 right now) and hope that it helps enough to let me go back to sleep.
It is snowing like crazy outside! It's so beautiful!
It started snowing yesterday and then it stopped after a few cms but this is really dumping. All you can see is white coming down, it's gorgeous!


I hope you are all doing wonderful

 

[Tiff]

Rachel, hope you feel better soon

 

[Try Rocking]

Thanks hon, I hope so too. The halls seem to have helped a bit, I think I'm going to cram one more in there and then try hitting the sack again! I should not be up at 4:30 lol

 

[Tiff]

I was thinking when I saw that you had posted that it was reeeally early for your time! Its 7:30am here right now.

 

[Vickie]

I was wondering about the facebook message I got from you Rach

I hope you managed to get some sleep

Reba

 

[readynwilling]

rach - i hope you feel better.

Spoiler

i have a friend in LTTTC and she just got bad news from the fert clinic... i feel so aweful for her. i don't know what to say or what to do. If i was in the UK i'd be a surrogate for her right now, except that doesn't matter, cause none of her eggs made it... i just want to cry. Crappy way to start the day

J took a 4 oz bottle of formula at bed time last night, but it didn't make any difference, she was up from 11:45-1am, 4:45 to eat, 6:30 to eat. to be fair had i nursed her at midnight when she woke up, she may have gone right back to sleep, but i don't think she was REALLY hungry, i think she was wanting to nurse, cause she always wakes at midnight to nurse. I kept trying to settle her with her soother which was not cutting it... and she kept sticking her hands down my bra LOL. she got up at 7:30.

Im headed to pick up some crafty stuff today and stuff to make my gingerbread. i MUST work on my gingerbread!

Reba, Rach and Sara

 

[Sarahkka]

Good morning everyone!
We made it home yesterday. What a long drive!
We were just ahead of that big snow dump Rach was talking about, but lots of snow on the ground in the mountain passes.
Now I'm sort of staring at the mountain of unpacking I need to do and wishing I had a magic wand that would make everything zoom into the right place while I have a sleep. While I'm at it, maybe a Mary Poppins to watch the boys while I sleep? Just to cover all my bases.

Sara - I'm not sure what to say, either.

Reba - sounds like you had a sort of bummy night, eh? Hope you are feeling better this morning.

I must need my head examined. Tobe was just playing with his toast, so I handed him simon's bowl of porridge. He's so happy. He's eating it with both hands. I will need a pressure hose to clean that chair after breakfast.

 

[Sarahkka]

Oh, and get better, Rach! That cold sounds absolutely gross!

 

[readynwilling]

hope the unpacking doesn't take too long Sarah!

J just fell asleep. need to do some laundry and im feeling uber lazy.

 

[Melissa_M]

Sara you should try making Tim tend to j at night. We did that until Alia was sleeping right through.

 

[readynwilling]

I would love to, but he has a semi dangerous job, and i really want him to have his sleep. i can't even fathom what would happen if he made a mistake at work and injured himself or a coworker. I would rather fight it on my own for now, then risk that. As crazy as it sounds, I figure she will eventually sleep through on her own.

 

[Sarahkka]

Argh!
Someone come poke me and prod me with a big pointy stick!!
I have no will or energy to do anything.
I'm just staring off into space or watching the boys cheerfully dismantle the living room.
That is amusing, until I remember that I have to re-assemble it all.
How long until I hit the "why bother?" stage and just let my house look like a bomb-site?

 

[Tiff]

I'm at the "why bother" stage right now Sarah! At least during the day. The house is chaos then at 6pm before P gets home I let Claire watch TV and will clean it up. I lose the will to constantly clean all day lol.

Sara - I don't know what to say. Life is just so unfair at times.

Reba as well, forgot to mention that earlier.

 

[apple84]

My life feels like one big "why bother?" these days. *sigh* There are Duplo and wooden blocks scattered all over the living room carpet and they have been there since Friday I'm having a friend over for a playdate Thur morning, so I'll probably clean it all up just before she comes

And my floors seriously need a mopping, but just thinking about getting the mop frim downstairs and carrying a heavy bucket of water around makes me want a nap. At least the kitchen is decent. Tasks that don't involve lifting and bending (like wiping counters and doing dishes) are still getting done well. It's getting harder for me to reach into the sink though. Even with my belly right against the counter I can barely reach the other side of the sink

 

[Vickie]

For all those feeling lazy today. I feel that way most days

Sorry to hear last night didn't go any better Sara
Good luck getting your gingerbread done today! or at least some of it
and that is so sad about your friend

Glad you made it home safely Sarah hopefully you can get some rest soon

Tiff I do that when Stan goes into the office, I quickly run around cleaning up so it looks half decent in here

We just got in from Kinder Korner. Hannah wanted to go in on her own today so I sat outside and read for the entire hour
