Shadows, countdowns and ACTIVE WORMS!!!!

lonely28 — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 23:34:37 -0700

Right, wormy has proven herself to be another football player arrggghhhh!!! Miss g was exactly the same as this except for she started earlier! Wormy decided to make her presence known last night at about 7:30. That's her normal routine... the suprise attack... last night she decided to keep the funky boogey dance going until around 2:30-3:00 A.M!!! I think I had around 2-3 hours sleep.... WORMY GO TO SLEEP!!! She's been at it for most of the day too...... I'm a little weary to say the least! While it's lovely to feel her boogey on down in there it's also just as lovely to sleep!! Looks like this little wormy is sending me a timely reminder..... what it's going to be like when she's finally here... lack of sleep!!! SLEEP I MISS YOU ALREADY!!!!!

Couple of countdowns going on..... not long till the big, magical 30 for me. It's around 21 days till I finally get out of the 20's and welcome in the 30's. I've informed fellow housemates that on my birthday I will not be making breakfast, lunch or dinner.... Infact I ain't doing a thing.... unless we're moving then which is looking more and more likely!!! Another countdown just beginning.... moving... we are going to finally move. Just don't know where lol!!! Jd has applied for a job here on the coast but if he doesn't get it then we are still Maryborough bound. If he does get it then we'll move out of this area to somewhere a little cheaper.... slight problem, haven't been able to find anywhere cheaper YET!!!

Ahh shadows, gotta love em! Jd has a little shadow that follows him every afternoon... she's about so tall, blonde hair, blue eye's... yes that's right Miss g!! The afternoon routine around here at the moment seems to be come home from school, do the homework, quick snack and then follow jd where ever he goes. Bless him he's been fantastic. He takes for scooter rides, down to the park and I get peace and quiet!!! If I can't find miss g I go looking for jd and there she is! It's nice to come second for a little while..... nice bit of relief for me!!! They make quite a cute couple hehe!!!

That's all for now.... tomorrow there will be more... jd's off to the goldie to pick something up so I get a day to myself WOOHOO!!! I've missed the days to myself...... thank you universe!!!

love to all,

fi, miss g, jd and worm (she ain't ever gonna stop the boogey) xxoxoxxoo

The results of my scan

lonely28 — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 18:01:16 -0700

Well I ended up having 2 done. One with a full bladder and one with an empty one. Worm is fine and is growing normally. The bleeding looks like it's come from a small tear in my placenta. The woman doing the ultrasound reckons that it's probably happened from me overdoing it... hmm this story is starting to sound very familiar lol! Still got some of the after effects of my migraine...... but that's to be expected. My uteurs sits off to the right.. not quite in the normal spot so to speak and worm loves to sit mainly to the right. So it's hello to all the nerves which end up causing the migraines!!! Ohh this is so much fun lol! The remainder of the pregnancy will be interesting to say the least. If I could just convince worm to wriggle back to the left a bit then maybe it wouldn't be so bad. Unfortunately, worm is just as stubborn as her mother lol!! Will be back at the doc's tomorrow to get the rest of my results, attempt to get a medical certificate for Centrelink and who knows... I may even get to hear her hearbeat again... love that little beating sound!

Looks like I just have to admit that it's time for me to give up work completely..... hmmmm. Look, as much as my job would give me the shits it was still that bit of independance and freedom. It was my time. I could be an adult, I got to interact with other adults..... I am really going to miss going to work. I'm not very good at sitting still, even when I have no energy lol, but these migraines are really sucking the life out of me, worm is sucking the life out of me..... work, I'm gonna miss you. Maybe I need to learn how not to be so independant... naaa that's so not me!

Well hope that everyone is enjoying their weekend!!!

love to all,

fi xoxo

Off to have my ultra sound

lonely28 — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 19:52:31 -0700

I know I was meant to go yesterday but woke up feeling terrible..... thought it was gastro but turned out to be massive migraine AAAARRGGGHHHH!!!! Could hardly move and just spent most of the day on the couch. Still suffering some effects from the migraine today but no where near as bad as yesterday! Jd was quite sweet and kept checking on me and seeing if there was anything he could do. I think he was feeling rather useless but it really was one of those things that I just have to ride out.

The ultra sound today is to see if they can see any reason as to why I keep spotting. Miss g is coming with me this time... she loves a trip that has anything to do with doctors, scans etc! or maybe it's cos she gets to finish school early and come with me lol. Speaking of miss g, yesterday was a very exciting day for her. It was the big class excursion into Brisbane to the museum. It meant that I had to have her at school for 6:45... very cruel punishment for the parents lol! She had an excellent time! Don't know if she loved eating her lunch in the dinosaur garden the most or singing the wheels on the bus the WHOLE entire way to Brissy. The poor bus driver.... 2 hours of the wheel's on the bus.... I do hope he has recovered lol. She came back very tired, very hungry and very excited. They have been learning about dinosaurs at school and at the museum they got to go on a fossil hunt, watch a dinosaur movie and so much more I can't remember (bad mummy lol). She loved going into the big city but did she say she was glad to be home and away from so much traffic... ahhh kids gotta love em.

Righto, I have another 500 ml of water to drink which I now get to hold for an hour before my appointment and during the ultrasound... a man must of thought that idea up! No woman would be that cruel to a pregnant woman lol!!!

love to all,

fi, miss g, jd and worm (who loves to kick me when I least expect it!!!) xoxox

Right I've learnt my lesson

lonely28 — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:42:24 -0700

Had another scare yesterday..... ohoh. Was a pretty average day around here. Did some LIGHT housework in the morning and then jd and I settled in for a good ol nanna nap... twas lovely. Woke up around 1 p.m busting for a wee (sorry lol) anyway there was this bloody kind of mucus... OMG was my reaction. I freaked out. Couple that with the period type pain I was having..... yep, one freaked out fi. I took it really easy last night, we got takeaway and I just lazed on the sofa bed. Went to see the doc today to try and get this sorted out and he was brilliant as usual. Got the doppler out and off we went in search of worms heartbeat. The little bugger decided to play hide and seek except for we couldn't seek her anywhere AARRGGGHHH!!! He was determined to find the heart beat and we eventually found her hiding nice and high... she's a little shy lol. Nice heartbeat of 145 bpm and one very relieved mum to be. The doc has informed that if at anytime I should bleed at all then it's straight up to see him.... I have to have an anti-d shot thanks to my negative blood type..... they hurt lol ( I know I'm a big baby hehe). I have to go and have a scan tomorrow to see if there is any evidence as to where this bleeding is coming from...... so it's another game of wait and see. If there is anything showing up on the scan then he'll ring me to come in. I've been banned from work for the rest of the week (mum's put her foot down bless her) and the doc has told me to take it easy so yes manda and fi I have learnt my lesson now!!!

Hope everyone is keeping well and sorry I haven't been around as much... will try and make an effort to catch up on what everyone else has been doing.....

love to all,

fi, miss g, jd and worm with a great heatbeat lol!!! xxoxxox

Strike's over :(

lonely28 — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 17:06:44 -0700

Well I woke up to the sound of dishes being done and jd getting miss g breaky!!! I just smiled as I lay in bed all snuggy warm lol!!! I did have to stop myself from cleaning up a few things yesterday but I did it!!! They made their own lunch...... well got some left overs from our picinic from the previous day out to eat rofl. I did cook dinner though..... I had a roast lamb in the fridge and if you ask jd, I'm the only one that knows how to cook a good roast... yeah right!! Things are back to normal though... dishes in the sink for me to do, washing in the machine ready to be hung out, jd outside making a complete mess doing up his boat....ahhh the normality of it all!!!

I will have to take it a little easy today though... I started bleeding again last night. Not to much but enough to make me lay down and not move. It has eased off over night but I have made myself a promise that if it continues or gets heavier then I'm off to the docs. Jd was going to take me to hospital last night but that's right, Noosa's hospital doesn't have an emergency department on the weekend!! They can't afford to pay a doctor to be there on the weekend... sheesh! So best get to it and then take it easy when I can.

love to all,

fi xoxoxo

I have DECLARED

lonely28 — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 01:25:53 -0700

A 24 hour cooking and cleaning strike!!!!! My 2 fellow housemates have it pretty dam good around here even if I do say so myself. They're clothes are washed for them, ALL meals are made for them, any mess they choose to leave around "magically" cleans itself up, the food "magically" gets replaced in the fridge and pantry... the whole darn lot!!!! So that's it... they've both been told that I've had it. I spent the best part of this morning cleaning and scrubbing this house, made a picnic lunch for the both of them, stripped the beds and put clean sheets on...... hmmmm, I wonder if they actually notice that there are no fairies that do this JUST ME!!!! Tomorrow is my day off.... I will NOT clean up after them, I will NOT cook them breakfast or lunch.... dinner will have to be cooked by me otherwise it will end up a bigger mess for me to clean up the following day. I just feel very taken advantaged of and quite frankly I've had it. I told them both that there doesn't seem to be anyone that does it for me or is willing to help out unless I really get angry so NO MORE...... it's gonna be interesting to see how they both go without their servant to wait on them hand and foot!!!

love to all,

fi xoxo

Thank you everyone

lonely28 — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 20:22:06 -0700

Thank you so much to everyone who left comments on my last blog and to those kind souls that sent gifts this way!!! Worm appreciates it too lol!! She is definitely starting to make her presence felt. She is nothing like miss g who I swear was on the move 24 hours a day. This one likes to let me know that she's still there by taking the suprise attack hehe. Worm has been named........ Madelaine Kate. My great grandmother's name was Madelaine and Jd came up with the second name. Miss g is over the moon that she gets to a be a big sister to a little sister. When I told her she went running all the way back to the classroom to tell her teacher. Then yesterday was show and tell. Miss G chose to "tell" her whole class about Madelaine!!! I have one very proud 8 year old on my hands..... and one dad to be who is suddenly taking fatherhood very seriously bless him!

Last night I was on the computer and I turned around to find jd playing Barbies with miss g!!! It was sooo sweet and believe me, Miss g was a little taken a back by him just plonking down beside her. He really is making an effort with her now and she is lapping up the attention. In one way, it's like he's practicing for the next one lol!! He's also been looking at cots and change tables..... and he can't stop looking at the u/s video and pic's. I think this one is gonna be a big softie as soon as Madelaine makes her entrance!!!

Remember everyone, we're only here for a short time so lets make the most of it and have some bloody good laughs along the way!!!

love to all,

fi, miss g, jd and Madelaine (she's still worm tho lol)

The results are in

lonely28 — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 19:42:37 -0700

Just a quick one..... had my ultrasound today. Worm is fine..... THANK YOU GOD!!! I got to see the heartbeat, the legs, the arms...... oohhh the bloomin' lot. I am so relieved that worm is fine. Jd sat there very overwhelmed and very nervous. It's made it that little bit more real for him..... The lady that did the ultra sound was lovely and explained it all as we went along. So worm is fine, making some more movements everyday...... and worm is fine.... WOOHOO!!!

much love to all,

fi, miss g, jd and worm xoxoxox

P.S Oh and worm is...... A GIRL!!!!!! So really it's Miss Worm if you please hehehehe

GRRRRRRRR

lonely28 — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 22:17:54 -0700

Looks like it's my turn to be ill HOORAY!!! Didn't feel the best last night and woke up this morning feeling a hell of alot worse. My glands are well up, my throats killing me, nose is starting to block up, my ears ache... my whole body aches thanks to the lovely fever I have...... All I want to do is lay down, been wanting that all day but miss g had a student free day today... bless the student free day's!!!! I'd take some panadol but starting to have real problems swallowing..... somebody shoot me now...

fi xoxo

Ain't love grand and a whole lot of hard work lol!!!

lonely28 — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 21:03:19 -0700

Well miss g and I are back into the routine of having jd back home....... WE COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!!! It is so nice to finally have him home... endless hugs, loads of cuddles, lovely amount of kisses and someone I adore to wake up next to in the morning. He is still a little broken from fishing but believe me he's getting alot of tlc !! Yep, we've been spoiling him rotten and he's been lapping it up. I do believe he even had breakfast in bed this morning lol! Sure, we've had the stock standard fights since he's been home, we always do but they're over and done with pretty dam quick.

Yesterday was just what the doctor ordered! Miss g was feeling much better so off to school for her and some much needed alone time for me and jd. There is something about coming home to find him here.... there are no words to describe the feeling when we see each other. Yep, we are two soppy romantics lol! We spent the best part of the morning cuddled up in bed together.... my little piece of heaven! Besides the fact it was freezing yesterday..... laying there in his arms the last 8 weeks of hell just disappeared. Having him gently stroke my back washed away any feeling of morning sickness I had. Feeling his breath on my neck, the reassurance I've been longing for. No words needed, just complete comfortable silence. We did eventually get up and do somethings... while I was standing there doing the washing up I had two vrey strong arms come and wrap themselves around me.... he just wanted to hold me . Just having him near by is blissful but to be able to turn around and have a hug..... heaven!

He's in Maryborough today... I miss him like crazy but the best part is I know that he is coming home at the end of the day. There is still something's for us to sort out and we've begun the long hard road already. It will take some time but we'll get there.... if we can ever get out of bed that is lol!

love to all (congrats to arna and les wohoo)

fi (content), miss g (cheeky!!), jd (spoilt lol) and worm (diggin away!!)

P.S Here's something to get the tears going, this morning when we were laying in bed, jd curled into the back of me and said "this is my most favourite part of the day..... just laying here with you, warm and content. Can't beat it for the world"...... yep, got my tears flowing again

FURY MAN FLYING!!!

lonely28 — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 15:03:27 -0700

Yep, that's right, big fury man is currently flying.... actually probably right over us right now!!!! In 15 mins he lands, waits for bus for 1/2 hour then he's on his way home. Should be here by about 10:30-11:00. I have an 8 yeard old currently doing a picture for him, I'm currently watching the clock like my life depends on it and he's probably having a lovely snore on the plane. I spoke to him last night when he got to the hotel... he sounded buggered. They unloaded 4500 boxes of prawns weighing either 5 or 10 kilos. They had limited amount of time to do it as they couldn't get into port as planned. He was so relieved to be at the hotel. He's busting to get home and the ladies here are running around like headless chooks!!! Oh and he's bringing 5 kilo's of prawns home.... yay cos I love prawns so much NOT!!! He's brought the home for my Mum and Dad and a couple of other people!! So ladies and gents it's time for me to hit the shower and finish cleaning the house.......... MY BIG FURY MAN IS NEARLY HOME YYAYAYAYAYAYAAYAYAYAAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAAYAYAYAYAYAAY

love to all,

fi (excited but still sore), miss g (on the mend), jd (flying as I type) and worm (doing his/her thing) xoxoxoxxo

PREGNANT WOMEN

lonely28 — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 23:10:51 -0700

Should NOT mow the lawn...... OMFG my back is buggered! I will listen to Amanda now......... just cos she's so sympathetic .... if jd does not aknowledge that I mowed the lawn I'll punch him, if he says that I missed a spot I'll punch him, if he says I should of waited till he got home I'll punch him, if he's not sympathetic then I'll punch him. Just repeating, pregnant women (especially with bad backs) should not mow the lawn.

fi xoxo

Thanks fi and manda!!!!

lonely28 — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 16:36:33 -0700

That's right Fi, ONE MORE DAY!!!! I should be on my way to work right now but miss g is not a well girl . She started a fever last night and is pretty washed out today. She's ok but not the usual chatterbox nutter that she normally is. So that means no airport run tomorrow. Miss g is a little upset that she won't get to go to the airport but I don't think the really early start will be the best thing for her. So must book jd on the shuttle bus for tomorrow which means that he should be here around 10:30-11:00 tomorrow morning...... believe I CAN FEEL IT!!!! This time tomorrow morning I'll be bouncing off the walls and miss g too. She fully intends to bolt out the front door and jump on him as soon as he's off the bus!!! Poor guy has no idea what he's in for hahaha... of course she'll be followed very closely by ME!!!!! He's that little bit closer.... but just that little bit too far out of reach.... These last 24 hours are the hardest cos you just want time to go at warp speed and Saturday to be here!!!! YAY my big fury man will be here tomorrow, I can hardly believe it. Where has the last 8 weeks gone???? Well, WHO CARES he's here tomorrow.

On a slightly different note.... special extra thanks to my most totally awesome friends Fi and manda. You two have made the last 8 weeks that little bit easier to get through. Just think Fi, no more whinging from me LOL!!! Na, you two have made me laugh and laugh!! Don't worry though, he maybe coming home but that doesn't mean you can get rid of me that easily so there NUR!!! I'll just need a couple of days to "do" a couple of things and then I'll be bugging the shit outta ya once again. Thanks so much girls, I owe you more than you realise!!!

love to all,

fi (bloody excited), miss g (still not well), jd (nearly here) and worm (wriggling away) xoxox

6:56 a.m phone call...

lonely28 — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 15:10:04 -0700

the one i've been waiting for.... the much anticipated confirmation...... JD WILL BE HOME SATURDAY!!!! I have tears streaming down my face right now. Tears of relief, sheer happiness and the fact that morning sickness is pretty bad this morning ARRGGGHHHH!!! He'll be here Saturday, he'll be here Saturday, he'll be here Saturday... sorry I need to keep saying it to believe it!!! My big fury man will be here FINALLY!!!! It was so fantastic to hear his voice..... believe me, it was fantastic to wake up and then suddenly have the phone go off!!! They arrive in Cairns tonight at about 11:00 p.m but he's not allowed to get off the mother ship until 7:00 p.m tomorrow night. Unfortunately there are no flights from Cairns to Brisbane Friday night so he'll have to stay in Cairns and then fly home Saturday.... looks like I'm just going to have to be that little more patient for that little bit more longer..... grrrrrr lol!!! He sounded tired but good.... also so relieved to know that he'll be here Saturday. I could feel the smile down the phone . So today I have to go to work for a bit then Dad's coming in so I can nick off, book everything for jd and come home to do the biggest happy dance of my life! The wish I had to pick him up for the airport may just have to stay a wish.... Poor miss g has woken up this morning and she's not well . It's either one of three things... a head cold, hayfever or the start of the flu that's doing the rounds. Poor little bugger has to be dropped off at my Mum's this morning, then either I'll pick her up or Dad will have to bring her to work for a bit cos my Mum has to go to work!!! I just hope it's nothing more than a bad dose of hayfever cos I know how much she is looking forward to the big fury man coming home!!!

So not long till go now and I won't be annoying you all as much...... a very big thank you to everyone for getting me through the last 8 weeks. I really do appreciate it and so does miss g!!!!

love to all,

fi (very happy), miss g (not well), worm (wriggling away) and jd (home saturday hooray) xoxoxox

P.S Amanda and Fi......... CAN YOU FEEL IT, CAN YOU FEEL IT, CAN YOU FEEL IT???????

Busy, busy, worm and SHEESH!!!!

lonely28 — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 01:14:40 -0700

YAY today I finally got to have a much needed child free day.... ahh the relief!! Quite happily took miss g to school this morning knowing that a few hours I wasn't going to be bugged for food, drinks or just being bugged! However, I had soooooooo much to do today.... as I explained to Fi... sometimes the intention is there but the exacution isn't lol!! I had said to jd throughout this trip that I had done certain things... welllll.... I just kept saying to myself I've got plenty of time. I spent too much time saying I've got plenty of time and next thing you know.... time's running out oops!! So I got a lot of the stuff done today plus I managed to get to the doctor and he did my letter for the hospital, I had the distinct pleasure of peeing in a cup for him, checked my blood pressure (it's perfect thank you very much) and made my appointment for my next ultra sound.... it's Monday at 10:00 a.m. This is the big one people.... time to check that worm has two arms and legs, right number of finger and toes, a head, a couple of legs...... and we may be able to see if this little miss worm or little mister worm. I've got my fingers tightly crossed that jd will be home this weekend. If not, then I will be re scheduling this appointment. I want him to be there and I think the nervous dadtobe wants to be here as well.

I haven't been able to contact jd for a couple of days now . This is the real hard part but I know in my heart of hearts that he's ok and is slowly getting closer to Cairns. I'm on standby for the phone call or text message telling me to book that flight home!!! I'm hoping that either Thursday or Friday I'll here from him. Everyone (friends and family) are on high alert in case I have to do the dash to the nearest travel agency to book the flight lol!!! I am busting to see him..... HURRY UP TIME SHEESH!!!!

On a much sadder note....... A very dear friend and much valued member of minti is hurting at the moment due to the never ending rumour and gossip mill. I was shocked when I logged onto minti this morning to find her blog. I had to re read it to make sure I was reading what was infront of me. How anyone could even imply that Janice has anything to do with any kind of trouble making is far out of the realms of reality to say the least. Janice has always been one of the most positive influences here on minti. Time after time she's been there for countless members without batting an eye lid. She takes the time to check on those she considers friends.... lounge entries, comments on blogs, minti mails etc. She always welcomes new members with open arms and old members she's never faulted once. Her loyalty can NEVER be questioned and why it has been I don't understand at all. To whomever the members are that have caused this, be ashamed of yourselves. One of the sweetest and most generous women that walks this earth is hurting because you can't take the time to stop yourselves from gossiping. Janice will always have my support 100% just as I have always had her's. Take the time to look at yourselves.... you may not like what you see.

love to all,

fi, miss g, jd and worm xoxoxoxo

I'M SO EXCITED!!!!

lonely28 — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 01:20:02 -0700

And I just can't hide it lol!!! He's on the mother ship which means ladies and gents..... HE'S ON HIS WAY HOME!!!!! YAY WOOHOO!!!!! The even better news.... he could be here sooner than we think OMG OMG OMG!!!! I got to speak to him for longer than 2 minutes today!!! It's always soooo fantastic to hear his voice but nothing beats having him home . They could actually be docking on Friday and then by the sounds of it he'll be unloading the boat and then straight to the airport WOOHOO!!! They're not allowed to stay aboard the mother ship so if I can't get him a flight home then I'll be finding him somewhere to stay and then he'll be home the next day. I wasn't expecting him home till Monday or Tuesday but it looks like the god's are shining upon us and he'll be home sooner. When I was talking to him he was really quite... hmmmm.... till I worked out he was eating the chocolate I sent him... YAY he got the care package I sent. He was so happy to get it and it's really perked him up... nothing like chocolate and a bottle of scotch to make someone's day lol!! The funniest thing is though, the mother ship is dry NO DRINKING ALLOWED LOL!!!! Although he was sneaking a drink while I was talking to him hehe. He more than deserves it. Sooooo, not long now till I have my big fury man home... I FINALLY get the hug that makes the world stop, miss g gets her favourite big fury man home and our little world will be whole once more...... oh and we are then one step closer to moving THERE IS A GOD!!!!!!

Just to shut Amanda up I finally rang to make my first midwives appointment today. I know, I'm slack but I did it.... well I tried to! I rang the community health centre and was told to that I have to ring the hospital, speak to the antenatal clinic to make the appointment. Hmmm, the hospital is 30 minute drive away and the health centre is 5 minutes up the road..... anyway, I rang the hospital and was then informed that I need a referel from my doc!!! Ok so I ring my doctor's office and was told that no, he cannot write a letter of referel without seeing me WTF???? All they had to do was type a letter saying I need a midwife appointment and fax it but nooooooooooooooo. So the earliest I can see him is Wednesday cos I'm working Tuesday and he has no available appointments when I'm finished GRRRRR!!! Then when the hospital receives my letter they will process it and let me know when I can see someone.... however, it won't be here at the community centre.... it will be at the hospital 30 minutes away huh?? Then I was told that I don't need to see a midwife... I can stay under the care of doctor until after the 20 week ultra sound and then when the hospital requires me to pee in a jar or give blood or whatever they'll let me know!!! Confused? I am.... As far I can tell, the health system here pretty much sucks..... put it this way, the local hospital here in Noosa no longers accepts emergency's on the weekend why?? cos they can't afford to pay an emergency doctor to work on the weekends.... our options Gympie which is 1/2 an hour away on a good day or brisbane... an 1 1/2 down the road great isn't it!!!!

All of that is annoying but you know what..... SO WHAT HE'S COMING HOME!!!!!!

love to all,

fi, miss g, jd and worm (the moving worm!!) xoxoxoxxo

8 SLEEPS TO GO!!!!

lonely28 — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 15:05:04 -0700

WOOHOO 8 SLEEPS TO GO YAYAYAYAYAYAYAAYAYAYAYA!!!! Ever get the feeling that I'm a little excited It may actually even be 7 sleeps OMG. He's not quite sure what day they arrive in Cairns. So I'm praying that it's nothing but great weather for the next week so it's a nice easy journey home for him and a quick one!!! I am like a kid waiting for Christmas at the moment.... I CAN'T WAIT!!!! My big fury man is coming home.... bout time too lol!!! I got to speak to him briefly yesterday morning and I could here the excitement building in his voice too. We are both busting to see each other...... oh we are adults really hehehe.

I survived work yesterday, just. I woke up thinking something was going to go wrong and yep it did. The next staff member was due in at 11:00 a.m.... that time came and went and no staff member!!! It was just me in the shop and I was flat out. 11:30 came and still no staff member. So I finally got a chance to ring her but got hold of her Dad. He was seriously unimpressed... WITH ME!!!! OMG get stuffed mate. Not my fault your daughter did not check the roster to see what day she was working and it;s not part of my job to ring around to make sure everyone has a shift. Oh, no apology either.... I was thrilled. There was nothing else for it, I had to call Dad back in. Oh great, a day working with him, better off working by myself. It's a long story but he hit his head a while ago, not the same anymore and so on so really he doesn't work that well. It was 4 hours of sheer hell. I did not stop once. Nothing but serving, cleaning, serving, cleaning... you get the idea. 2:00 p.m rolled around and the next staff member rolled in.... should of stayed at home for the use he was. OMG he just stood there, served the occasional person and took his sweet time doing it. I acutally had a customer say "if it wasn't for you then no one would get served". So all in all, it was 6 hours of me pretty much doing the job of 3 people... nothing unusual there. Believe me, this coming week I'm NOT doing the 6 days. I'll be doing 4 and having the weekend off.... then the big fury man's home so I'll be taking 2 more days off!!!

So it;s finally my day off... the sun is shining and I'm going on a cleaning blitz!!! Then if I can get it all done by lunchtime... I AIN'T DOING A THING!!!!!

I want a bath!!!!

A long, peaceful bath... candles going, music in the background... heaven!!! Slight problem, we don't have a bath and showers are just not the same!!!! Just to be able to lay in a bath would be perfect right now....

Only one more day of hell week remains and it's the worst one. 6 hours on my feet, usually no break and pretty full on. One more day till I get the day off then back to work on Monday ARRGGHHHHH!!! To be frank, I've had enough. I've had enough of working, cleaning, cooking, looking after a lot of other people... I've just had enough. I really ,really want a break but I have to keep working or we start to suffer finacially. Jd still hasn't been paid all that he is owed GRRRRR . The moment he's off that boat the skipper will be receiving a phone call from yours truly and it ain't gonna be a nice one!!! So for the moment mine is the only income coming in...... I really need a break. Some pampering would be sublime or even someone to look after me for a change..... god I'm having a whine aren't I?? I am one worn out, emotional pregnant woman.....

If I can't have a bath then just to be able to cuddle up with my man and rest for a while........ why is it I always want what I can't have lol!!! I know it's not long till he's back home but at the moment it feels like forever..... I want my man and I know that he wants to be here more than anything..... THIS SUCKS!!!!!

Well, the washing isn't going to hang itself out, the washing up won't wash itself up and dinner won't put itself in the oven....... yet again, I have to do the lot....... Man that was one long whinge sorry.

love to all,

fi, miss g, jd and worm (who is starting to make some movements, great another footy player!!!)

3 days in 3 days to go!!!

3 days into my 6 day stretch at work and 3 more to go..... I AM BUGGERED!!!! The worst is yet to come.... Saturday I have to work with a 15 and 16 year old that really don't want to do any work. Don't you worry, I get up 'em and get them moving but it requires so much more energy..... something I am seriously lacking. I end up having to work like I'm two people just for things to run at all!!! My legs are sore, my feet are killing me....... Why am I doing this??? Well this is the kinda thing that happens when you work for the family. We are really short staffed and we have been looking for more people but around here people really don't want to work. They want the lifestyle but they really don't want to work for it. So at the moment there really is not a lot of options as to who works. I've done 14 day stints before but I wasn't pregnant at the time. Yesterday was a rough one... not sure if it was just bad morning sickness or a touch of gastro but I got through the day. I really don't think I can pull another 6 day week next week..... this ol' girl she aint what she used to be thats for sure!

11 days.... OMG HURRY UP LOL!!! Yep, not the most patient person in the world. I at least got to speak to him briefly today. There is just something about hearing his voice..... although at the moment it makes me cry! Then again, anything makes me cry at the moment! Miss g has alot planned for him when he gets home. I've explained to her that he'll be really tired and need to rest for a couple of days.... well when your 8 rest is not an option apparently. I've warned jd about it all. He went silent and then laughed... little does he know.

Well, that's it I suppose. I'm still waiting for him to come home, waiting for g's dinner to cook, waiting to move, waiting for my next scan, waiting to lay on the couch...... wow, I do ALOT of waiting!!!
