thought i'd start a new one it's getting a bit confusing for me now lol

my essays lol up on april forum now gem, hope you and the boys are o.k hun xx

so glad blaine is ok hun :-)
hope u are enjoying being back home with blaine and brodie and leah.
gem, i had to sit on my hands re carrie and exams! i dont think she will sit her others, it was maths and english lit that she missed so pretty important. i really dont know how to handle her anymore, she seems to hhave turned into a monster since she turned 16! not nice i know but i really felt the urge to slap her across the face when i found out. she didnt come home last night (not unusual lately) so its been nice to have a quiet evening with the other 3 without any attitude or confrontations, how r u doing hun? hope the boys dont drive u mad with the school hols.
joanne un hope ur ok, i keep wondering how u manage with small children, i am permanently knackered!! what is ur secret? oliver and evie r asleep now but im up and down all the time checking he isnt up and throwing stuff in the cot at her, even though he is a lot better now the novelty has worn off im suddenly paranoid mum,lol. xxx

mmmmmmmmm i wonder where worried hubby got to???

Take care girls tracey xxx

Hi Tracey :) it's good to hear from you hun I hope you and family are well!
OMG can't believe he has a tooth already bless they grow so quick it's so cute whenthey tell everyone Jessica tells everyone 'she's had a lovely day' at nursery I love it lol take care hun x
Shona I'm so glad Blaine is ok I bet it was very scary and it's awful being away from the others I know I hope it all settles down now for you all. Have you tried some cool boiled water for his constipation or even a little fresh orange?
Hope you and the boys rae ok gemma how is everything now hun?
I bet worried hubbies found a lovely woman and is far too busy for us kirst he he ;)
No secret here hun *coughs except kalms*
what happens if she doesn't go to anymore exams Kirst? hope your ok hun
right I am off to sleep now take care ladies xx

Good to hear from you Tracey, been wondering how you were! Can't believe David is 6months already! Where has the time gone?!
Shona, I'm so happy that Blaine is ok. I didn't realise reflux could do that, I thought it was just being sick a lot and I didn't think that reflux babies put on weight very well?? But obviously Blaine has been!! How is he today?
Kirst, I don't blame you for wanting to slap Carrie, I'd have been the same! What have the school said about it? I'd be dragging her to all next exams and waiting outside til she'd finished lol. I don't understand how teenagers have changed so much since I was at school (not that long ago, only 8 yrs!) my friends and i would never have not turned up to an exam, even the ones we thought we'd probably fail!! I really hope you can get through to her Kirst, for your piece of mind if nothing else
i'm off to bed now, didn't realise it was so late!! xx

wow tracey, 6m already! where does the time go :-) glad ur ok hun and the lil uns are doing well.
gemma, i gotta ring school after the hols because i missed so many calls from them, carrie turned the ringer off on the house phone so i didnt know what was going on. carrie still hasnt come home yet, i went in her room to change her bedding and found that she has tipped red paint around her carpet! cream bloody carpet ruined! ggggrrrrrrr! teenagers r a nightmare,lol
well i absoloutly refuse to get too stressed out about it all because there isnt really much more i can do, though im tempted to make her sleep on the sofa from now on since she obviously has no respect for her room!
hope ur ok shona hun, getting some rest after such a stressfull week.
right im gonna push the boat out tonight and have a couple of beers, a long overdue treat so ill probably feel pissed after half,lol
ooohh forgot to say ex came on sat and was strangely helpful with the kids and if weather is good is taking us out to lunch nxt week! obviously i intend to orrder the most expensive thing on the menu (sadly dont think they do lobster) lol. xxx

i'm feeling much better now, it was weird coming home felt like i'd been away for a year not a week lol, things are settling down again now though and the kids are back to normal!!
good to hear from you tracey, glad you and the boys are o.k hun :-)
i got blaine a bottle joanne, cos he took it really well in hospital(i couldn't feed him before his tests but he could have diralyte), but he was having none of it. i gave him a day off the gaviscon and he had a really good clear out, i'm not gonna give it to him at night now and see if he's any better.
hope you enjoyed your beer kirst you deserve it, hope carrie starts behaving for you soon and figers crossed your ex has turned a new leaf :-)
hope your o.k gem, how are the boys? i never heard reflux could do that either, and he's still piling the weight on lol the little porker!!

take care all hope to have a proper catch up soon xxx

hope your all o.k, how crap is this weather i hope the kids get a couple of good days before going back to school!!
i've been busy putting lots of stuff on ebay tonight, hopefully make lots of money :-)
catch up soon xxx

Hi hun how are you and family?
Hope everyone's ok?
The weather has been lovely here today I can't believe the weeks nearly over already :( they'll soon be back at school I'll be complaining come Augest I know lol
Anyway I must go to bed and go to sleep and hopefully I will have a quiet night tonight, although that maybe wishhful thinking!
take care all xx

hi, how is everybody?
we haven't had any nice weather here! i really wanted to do something with the boys this week so ollie would have something to tell his friends about at nursery but yet another uneventful week has slipped by!! ;-)
we're going to visit the school on tues (the crap one that ollie has a place at!), going to see what's it's like and meet the headteacher. i glanced at the latest ofsted report online and it's not great so have a few questions for her!!
i've put loads of stuff on ebay too!! so many clothes that jake's never worn and a pair of trainers still in the box!!
hope everyone is well, catch up soon x x

hope u both make lots of money :-)
hope u got a quiet night joanne hun. things r ok here, i have put lamb in oven for lunch just hoping evie grace will let me put her down long enough for me to get it to the table,lol
she really hates being put down, oliver is being a demon today so hoping he will have a nap (wishfull thinking)
hope to catch up later. xxx

wat a day!!!
evie sreamed the house down all day, oliver wouldnt have a nap and my yorkshire puds didnt rise.lol
she finally settled at about 6 after her bath and has been asleep since! she even slept through a nappy change and a failed attempt to feed her so she must be knackered bless her, also had the worlds biggest poo so hoping we r back to normal tomorrow (i love gripe water,lol)
hope everyone has had a more peacefull day than me :-)
just had mi horlicks so off to bed. xxx

time for a catch up, i always have a quick read but never get a chance to leave a message, their both asleep at the moment so i can have 5mins :-)

kirst well done losing the weight hun, although i'm not surprised looking after 4 kids on your and all that stress carries causing you, is she any better now? i've still got half a stone to go but i'm liking choc too much at the moment to worry lol
hows oliver with evie now, brodies fascinated by blaine loves sitting by him and talking to him sooo cute, but then takes his dummy out and makes him cry lol. is evie feeling better today, it's so hard when they don't want to be put down and you've got the others to sort out, blaine always starts at tea time and i feel so bad i have to leave him cry while i get the others tea ready.

joanne can you take kalms when your bf lol,
how are your brood getting on are the girls o.k and how are alexs eyes?has he had more tests?

have you been to the school yet gem? i hope it's better than you've read, i think your doing the best thing going for a look yourself, you might be really impressed with what you find!! did you get any good weather after, it's been o.k here the kids spent all wkend out in the garden. hope you make lots of money on ebay, i'm selling all my maternity stuff :-( i can't believe i'm getting broody again already lol, why does time have to go so quickly when you have lo's. blaines 7wks tomorow, we've got his check in the morning i'm gonna see if they can change his medication, he's so bunged up bless him, but if he doesn't have it his reflux plays up

got to go they've both woke up, take care xxx

[Modified by: brodiesmum on June 06, 2008 10:41 PM]

we went to see the school today, it was ok. the buildings are quite old so i thought the whole place looked a bit tatty!! lol
i know that's got nothing to do with anything and i shouldn't judge the place on it's looks!!
they've got one big thing going for them though, the kids start full time from sept (9-3.20) whereas all the other schools round here they do 9-12 or 9-1 until after xmas!! so this means i wouldn't have to give up work which i really didn't want to do! i'm really torn now. the uniforms horrible (purple) and there's the ofsted report i looked at although that was last year and the head said they've made a lot of changes now. think i'll just see how my appeal goes for the other school, i don't think i'll win it anyway!!
shona, good luck for blaine's check tomorrow, i've added you on facebook,
take care x x

hope check up is ok shona, glad im not on my own feeling broody,lol how mad are we!!
had evie weighed yesterday she is 9lb 1oz, think all the crying is a growth spurt, she has been hungry none stop! up about 5 times last night (lost count)
oliver has been much better with her since i bought hima doll,lol he throws the doll around then gives it a cuddle :-)
how do u get eyes in the back of ur head? think i need em,lol

im on face book too but hardly go on, kirsty wood sheffield.
im not good at navigating facebook but must try and sus it all out.
i think all my weight loss is going down hill (damn the chinese takeawy)lol
gemma hun schools dont get easier hun, im thinking of home schooling liam if the support isnt in place for him in sept, not sure how adhd and autism (mental age is at 7 1/2) can survive a very large secondary school :-(
hope u and brood r ok joanne hun
hope to catch up soon.xxx
HAYFEVER! gotta try and sneeze quietly all night so i dont wake evie,lol. xx

ARRRGHHHHH I've got bloody vertigo now, just when we were getting settled into a routine again :-( i couldn't stand up straight yesterday and it got so bad i was sick twice, doc says it should go in a couple of weeks

eveis doing great, blaine was 12lb5oz yesterday his check was all fine, their gonna test for lactose intolerence cos he's getting like brodie was when feeding, i'd rather find out now han let him get as bad as brodie was

hope your all o.k,hopefully catch up again later if i'm not falling off the chair lol xxx

sorry to hear you're not well shona, what causes it? Is there anything you can take to help? It sounds quite dangerous. Hope you're feeling better soon.
How do they test for lactose intolerence? Does that mean he has a problem with breastmilk or will you still be able to bf? sorry, just that i don't know anything about it although i do remember you still bf brodie but you had to get him special milk when you stopped.
kirst, couldn't find you on facebook, do you have a pic? there were quite a few kirsty woods!!
i still have a huge belly from having jake and he'll be 2 next week! sometimes i look down and think i should really do something about but i never do! i bought an exercise dvd about a year ago but it's never even been in the dvd player!!
does your ex know you bought him a doll? i know it's not really his business but i'm just wondering if he had an opinion on it because ollie's chosen to get jake a doll for his bday to go with the toy buggy we already have. It's a boy doll in blue clothes and the buggy is blue but my ex was NOT happy about it!!
hope you're well joanne, and the kids x x

hi, hope ur feeling a bit better shona un :-)
ill have to sort out my face book nd put some pics on (she says thinking faceift or botox first,lol)
ex would go mad about the doll,lol olivers is pink! but our little men are gonna be daddys one day so i dont see the problem (also think its funny to wind ex up a little)
im the same with exersise dvds hun i got pilates,yoga,a cindy crawford post preggers dvd (looks like some form of torture) i usually watch em while drinking coffee then put em in a drawer never to see the light of day again, lol
hope to catch up later. xxx

shona i think i just added u on facebook :-)
gemma hun i put a pic of me and evie on there, let me know where u are and ill have a go at adding u hun (im sooooo out of date, and crap at computers,lol) xx

i'm feeling a bit better, still a bit wobbly lol but not as bad as the other night, thank god!! theres lots of causes, it could be due to stress!!
they test his pooh for lactose intolerence, i have to get it to the lab asap when he goes, which is a pain in the arse cos i'm not driving. i've got to hope he goes when someones available to take me into town. i carried on bf brodie and used colief, which worked wonders.
kirst, thats a lovely pic of you and evie on facebook :-) i'm gonna try and get some more pics on there tonight. can you believe my oh has got the pig because i joined!!! he thinks it's dangerous, and he hates the fact i put my pic on there, bloody men hey!

hope your all enjoying the sunshine, take care xx
