My neice rang me the other day, she is only 12, asked me if I would mind taping a movie on foxtel for her.

I said of course I would and I would write a big note and not forget!  Well, well, well, I did forget and I am dreading telling her, she will be so disapointed.

I have tried to see if I can get it on DVD and no luck.  The only one that I did find comes from Canada and that is not compatible with Australian DVDs.

I'm thinking of telling her the video broke, But then again that's not right. 

*SIGH*

My MIL lives in the Country so my SIL went to pick her up. She stayed at my SILs place.  Anyway yesterday we went and picked her up (40 min away) and she stayed the day with us as my SIL and family went to the footy.

We had a good time, by the time we got home it was lunch time so we had luch and didn't do much else. 

That night we went out to a Pub for dinner as it was my BIL 40th bithday. (my partners younger brother)  He didn't know that we were going and so got a big surprize to see us all there.

We got a babysitter for the night but it wasn't a late one as we were both buggered by 10pm.  LOL. Had a dinner a couple of drinks and cake etc.. then came home.

really showing our age here as by the time we were all leaving all the youngsters were showing up and we had clearly had enough and couldn't cope.

My MIL went home with my SIL and she will drive her home today. 

Bubs behaved himself and 'cause he had a late sleep didn't really want to go to sleep, but generally he behaved himself, and once alseep didn't hear a peep from him.

This morning a different matter as he was grizzly by 5am and put back to sleep but by 6am he started crying so we put him in our bed and then he still wouldn't settle so at 6.40am I had to get him up and feed him. 

It is going to be a very long day and I can see that I am going to need a Nanna Nap!

BTW we had a really good night and I got to wear my new pair of jean that I paid a fortune for and then had to get half the leg cut off as I am a short a**e!

A sales man came to the door selling discount power and gas. Gave me the speil etc.. and I accepted and now I think I have done the wrong thing.  When my partner comes home he is just going to shake his head and call me an idoit!!  Least there is a 10 day cooling off period!

Today bubs was in the kitchen playing with a t - Towel.  I look around and saw something red on his foot.  I screamed at my partner to get it or take a look, he did.  Low and behold there was a small flesh wound/cut.  How we don't know.

We cleaned it up and put detol on it and a bandaid.  It didn't worry bubs until the detol went on!  Ouch poor baby.

 I had the best Mother's day yesterday.  I got to sleep in and then My partner and my boy came up with a cut out heart with a poem on it that my boy did in Child care (he didn't but you get the drift)   Then we went out for brekky very nice indeed.   Time to oursleves after that and then off to my sisters place where my whole family was.   Mum gave me flowers which was very lovely.  We ate lots of food and came home and did nothing.....  Very nice indeed!

Thank you to everyone who sent me Mother's day wishes very much appricated and I hope that you all had a very lovely day!

I have been sick this week I have been in hospital since Tuesday. On Sunday I ate dinner then felt sick Monday morning I thew up twice and then in the afternoon every 2 hours untill 11am the next day.  I rang my Dr who sent me off to the hospital.  Finally they diagonased me with Hyperthyroidism.  My pulse was up to 120 so now I am on all sorts of tables to control my pulse and my thyroid.  I am so glad that I am now out of the hospital and I had a scan with some die stuff and now I can't touch Bubs for 24hrs mum is minding bubs today  and my sister  looked after him yesterday.  My partner also  took some time off work.  It was so hartbreaking not seeing my son.  He was bought in to the hospital but he didn't want to be with me, was probably scared and I don't blame him.  So now I just have to get better and will probably be on the tabs for at least 2 years.  I have to keep having blood tests and going for appts with the thyroid people. 

So if you were all (probably nobody) wondering why I hadn't been on Minti well that is why. Happy Mother's day to you all on Sunday.. 

If it is just going to get messy again?

I mean I clean up the toys and the mess that my boy makes, but hey the next day it is just as messy again so why clean it?

Sorry Everyone it's a long one, 2 bolgs in 1! lol

Well, most of you know we went on a little holiday last w/end for the ANZAC holiday.  We had a really good time but bubs didn't travel very well.  It is a long drive.  It usually takes about 4 hours with out bubs and 5 or so with bubs.  We went to a little country town near Hamilton in Victoria to visit my in-laws.  

The drive up was pretty good we had to stop just outside of Ballarat to feed bubs and give him his lunch.  So on the side of the road we stopped and with cars going past we tried to heat up bubs lunch from water in the thurmas and then give it to him. Success so on we pressed.  Bubs slept to Ballarat and then again after his lunch. 

We stoped in Dunkeled to have our lunch and bubs woke up so we gave him his bottle then the fun began.  He was alright for awhile and then the crying started.  Not too much but enough to irritate.  We finally made it.

It was nice to have someone else cook for you etc..  and bubs was on his best behavour.  We visited my partners brother and saw the new addition to the family.  A new baby boy!  I have to say I have never in my life watched so much footy AFL ( I can't stand it) my FIL loves it so we watched every game.  Also I have never had so many cups of tea? LOL. All in all it was good.  My partners brother came up from Balarat with his son.  On Saturday night my partner and his brother and nephew (17) went out shooting and got 3 rabbits. It was good to get away and do nothing.  Very relaxing.

On the way home bubs fell sleep and we had to get petrol so he then woke up.  All the way to ballarat he wouldn't stop crying.  This was for about an hour.  It was the cut renching cry that my you want to cry but you can't do anything for him.  I tried to give him toy, sing, even touch him he continued to cry and chuck the toys on the ground and puch my hand away it was awful. We stopped once on the side of the road to give him luch and he only ate a sml bit.  He stopped crying as soon as we got him out and then started again as soon as we put him back  he just didn't want to be there!

We stoped in ballarat and bubs had the rest of his lunch and a play at my partners brothers place.  Then he slept all the way home!  It was a good holiday!

Last night was a horrior!  Bubs kept waking up every 1/2 hour or so from the moment he went to bed at 7.30 We put bonjella and gave panadol in case he was teething or in pain. I went to bed early as I knew It was going to be a long night.   Anyway I woke up when my partner came in the room and I could hear bubs screaming.  (he has a cold at the moment and we put him  to bed with baby vix on)  I yelled for him to go in and see him, he didn't so I got up and the poor thing couldn't stop crying.   My partner told me that he had already fed him and changed him etc...  We couldn't find what was wrong.  I put him back to bed, he continued screaming left him until my partner couldn't stand it any longer and cracked it.  

Bubs got fed again and then started screaming again.  We went to put him in to the bed and he screamed again.  He just didn't want to be in the bed.  Nothing is wrong with it we checked.  I wan't going to get up and play with him either.  So we finally made the decision to bring him in to the bed with us.  When he was born one of the rules was never to let him sleep in the bed with us.  Considering he was sick we let him sleep with us for the whole night.  He was good and today he still has a runny nose but is playing happily. 

Hopefully we don't have one of those night again I couldn't stand it.
