Heyy, hows Bethy this morning?

Inge, glad you had a good christmas

24, he sounds like he had a great time

Brandi, loving the sketti pics Got the 5 30 alarm here too.

Wiggler, good luck potty training, I'm sure he'll be fine Have fun at your mums.

Harvey, ball pits are great have a good boxing day hun

Bethy is doing MUCH better, thank you! I put vicks on her back and a mustard powder/seed poultice in her chest- made her sit up, and got up with her every hour to make her step outside to breathe cold air, then drink hot tea. We sat up and steame in the bathroom a couple of times, too- she is sleeping peacefully now, so I'm not going to wake her. I'll take her in later if she still sounds bad, and just cab it back if hubby has to leave for work before we're done.

 

[mummy3]

Glad she's feeling better! Its scary when they're ill like that How's your own cough now?

 

[heyyady]

Better- would probably be MUCH better if I could manage to sleep this illness off. No way that's happening though! The girls were way over stimulated yesterday and are cranky as hell, and we have to go out and get some baby food and diapers (We were avoiding Walmart for these items and hoping to stay away longer, but no dice ) Down to 5 diapers! EEK! Will be waking hubby SOON and heading out before this hits crisis mode!

 

[mummy3]

Oh no hope you get more before any pooplosions!!


I'm so pissed with dunkin donuts, my lovely creme filled had no creme

 

[new_to_ttc]

Oh no, no creme!! I wouldnt mind them without creme lol How the doughnuts going down there lol

Time with OH was amazing I love that man so much! I told my friend I was going to see 'my friend' but they know that means I was seeing a guy that has been spoiling me with gifts (got a full HD video camera lol) and putting a spring in my step for a long while They are really good at letting me have my private life and dont ask me any questions

Inge sounds like you had a great day! OH sounds like a big kid - perfect Makes a smashing Christmas!!!

heyy i saw your pics on FB the girls are adorable! Im so glad Bethy is feeling better a little and hope it continues to improve, and you too hun

Brandi have you looked in all the bags you had??? I hope it turns up hun!

Right I do believe food is out and ready - and I am hungry! lol

 

[mummy3]

Didn't see the posts about the missing money, hope you guys find it!

Dont suppose can complain about the donut if I've already eaten it? Oh well hubby needs hurry up with his roast ham Oh and froze myself on a frappochino (got Raynauds)

You've got brilliant parents new, yay for OH time Holidays halfway done now so you'll be back to seeing him regular, doesnt that seem like deja vu from the last holidays? Time going very fast!!

So my aunt searched through and around the couches, and even looked in the gift bags and garbage bags from Christmas. No sign of it.

BUT

My Avo still has the receipt and is going to have it replaced for me. YAY!!!

 

[heyyady]

Wow- here if you lose it you lose it :/ Nice that you can have it replaced!

 

[BrandiCanucks]

So long as you have the proof of purchase, you can have lost and stolen cards replaced, but it takes 6 weeks.

 

[MilosMommy7]

wiggler- good luck with the potty training. i'm dreading when we have to start that battle with milo!


new- lol, sounds like me. sometimes nothing pleases me!

inge- sounds like things went nice for you guys

heyy- those pics are gorgeous! love their bows things are tight aruond here after christmas too. sucks glad to hear Bethy is doing better today.

brandi- wow! good thin they kept the receipt and you can get a new one


i feel like i'm ready to leave OH and move on with my life so i can finally be happy again. i wrote him a long letter the other day. and he hasn't said a word about it. i've asked him twice about it,and he just stays in silence. we haven't said i love you in days, or even kiss time for me to stop trying so hard

 

[mummy3]

Milos. I'm sorry things are not going so well with him, men can be very guarded with their feelings but thats no reason for him to ignore the issue

Glad you're getting it replaced Brandi

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Sorry about your OH ignoring you, Milos. I know the feeling. Give him some time. He might just be thinking about how he wants to approach it.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

So, I figured it out today. When I file my taxes, we usually get about $5000 back. I get about $2900, Mike gets the rest. If I open up a new bank account at a different bank and don't set up telephone or online banking access (One of my biggest money-saving downfalls), I will have enough money within the next 27 months for a reversal. I can live with that.

 

[MilosMommy7]

yeah, i'm not sure he still acts all pissy and like a jerk to me when he DOES say something to me. in the letter, for the first time, told him how much Milo effects things and how i feel bad as a mother and what not. i've never told anyone in the family how it effects me, and how i think about it everyday. i thought maybe he'd understand better, seeing that he is his father and should MAYBE be feeling the same way as me. i said twice "so you'r not gonna say anything about my letter?" and he would just walk away from me.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Oh, and tonight, I've decided that there is a reason I bought a $250 breastpump. That reason is so that I can sit on my couch, relax and watch some hockey with my bag of Doritos and on Orange Cream cooler.

Yes..I am having a

...Just one though.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

From one special needs mom to another, give him time. Mike is like that too. When he doesn't want to discuss my letters, he walks away. He comes back when he's ready. Trying to push the issue just increases the tension and makes things worse.

Keep in mind too, that it's stressful for him as well having a special needs child. Men don't show their emotions as well as we do, so it's harder for us to understand them.

Mike never cried when I had my miscarriages. In his attempt to comfort me, he said the worst thing anyone could ever say to a grieving mother: WE CAN ALWAYS HAVE ANOTHER. In that moment, you don't care about having another baby; you want the one you just lost. I was mad at him for that, for weeks, and up until recently, I assumed he didn't care about the miscarriages because he never talked about them and even said that they weren't really babies and they never "existed" to him because he never saw them or touched them. As it turns out, he thinks about them all the time. He wonders what they would be like, who they'd look like, what they'd sound like. The 3 year Angelversary of our second Angel, Bean, is on January 8. It's one of the worse days of the year for him. As it turned out, he didn't understand the emotional aspect for me, having carried them and feeling like I failed because my one job was to give them life and I couldn't do that. For me, I didn't understand that he was grieving in his own way. We named them Rice and Bean, because those were their nicknames. With Zoe, to me, he seems constantly in denial, that Zoe is just perfection and nothing is wrong with her. It took him 8 months to watch footage of Zoe's seizures. Turned out, he wasn't in denial, he was just scared. He's afraid of knowing that we're likely going to lose Zoe within the next few years, so it's easier for him to pretend her disease doesn't exist than to face it. Men and women are just completely different.

My husband is a complete ass!!!

I mentioned that my New Year's Resolution was to lose some weight and all he did was laugh

The asshole weighs 100lbs more than I do. He's 228lbs. He was 175 when I met him in April 2006. By September 2006, he was 200lbs.

He's not exactly some prize either.

 

[MilosMommy7]

it took the longest time for him to accept that i even was suspecting problems in milo. he wanted to believe he was fine. i hate men!!
