I have now made it 25 days. At the end of today, it will be 26.

I'm going to treat myself tomorrow. Facial, manicure, haircut, you name it.

I'm so tired of feeling blah and frumpy and tired and... and... and... BLAH!

My husband is finally hitting grumpy with quitting, so we're really rubbing each other wrong this week.

At least my mom cancelled this weekend, so I don't have to make that long drive tonight!

Shoot the works sweetie. You've earned it. All goddesses are required to be pampered as part of our exalted rank on mt. olympus.
Hubby will be all right, especially with you giving him support. In that case he can't do none better than you.
I did the same last weekend and came home feeling like a new woman.

Well heck chippers you better find a way to get it here in time so it doesn't go off as it would make a great birthday cake ;);)
As for it being better than sex well I can name exactly 2 things that are :D

Well I just made my appointment for a facial :) Haven't had one in years. And since I am only up to 9 days, not going to get the works. But when I reach 20, Look out!! :)

How is everyone today? Synnen, oh honey, I know what you mean. My poor hubby, everything he is doing is getting on my nerves. Isn't that awful... but I got a cup of tea and took a nap and feel a little better. Baby Allheart is at the groomers now, how cute :)

Chippers, way to go with the 3 cans. Blue is your favorite color? It is so pretty!!

Hey CBW, how's my girl? You got to come clean... what two things are better than sex?
Hee hee.. fess up girl.

Love to all

LOL a marks and spencers chocolate cake that I only buy for birthdays and christmas... and the second has to be a big deep bath with lots of bubbles and candles no noise just the soumd of the bubbles popping!!

Millie's just climbed the stairs shouting up up up its bath time hehehehehe I hope you both enjoy your pampering it sounds wonderful :)

I hope we get a picture of baby Allheart with her new hair doo too :D

Hey CBW, I just love that pic of Millie in her box. I honestly don't think it gets any cuter than that.

No pics of BabyAllheart. They cut her hair too short and no bow this time :(. She still looks so pretty, maybe I will take a pic of her. It is so cold out and they cut her beautiful hair so short. I honestly think Mr. Allheart called ahead and asked them too.

Oooooh love the bubble bath CBW, adding it to my list for the day :)

How is the kitty search going?

I'm sooooo tempted to get another kitty lately... only I want a Rag Doll. We already have two, though, and I just lost one. We still live in an apartment, so 3 cats is just too many. But... I keep seeing pictures of kittens and I WANT one!

It's beautiful outside today... 33 degrees right now! Supposed to get cold starting this weekend, though. You know that old rhyme... 30 days hath November? My version goes like this:

Thirty days hath November
April, June, and September
All the rest have thirty-one
Except January and February
Which last FOREVER.

2411

Hi everyone,

Baby Allheart here.

Boy put in my day. Mommy is trying to not put those funny looking white things in her mouth that makes fog or something come out of her when she talks and Daddy is walking a straight line this weekend. He’s not reaching for the cans in the fridge, that after he drinks a whole lot of them, makes him think he can sing songs really loudly. Something’s very wrong in my house, but think I will stick around till after dinner and my evening treats.

To top off this bizarre day, Daddy decides it’s time I get another hair cut. Guess he hasn’t listen to the weather report as it is 30 degrees below zero and my hair was keeping me very warm. The silly lady cutting my hair, had a field day with the scissors, and this big German Shepard kept trying to make the moves on me while she was doing it. To top it all off, I didn’t even get a bow. All I got was this silly pink bunny from my Mommy and Daddy, but it has no eyes. What the heck am I supposed to do with a pink bunny, in the middle of the winter, with no eyes.

My Mommy tells me all of you are very nice and have helped her a great deal. So thank you for that very much.

Well, I better get going now and see what those two are up to now. Uh oh, Mommy has a laundry basket in her hands, and has this very odd smile on her face. Hmmm she never smiled before when it was laundry time. I better keep my eye on her.

Love you all,
Baby Allheart

LOL... oh, thank you for the giggle, Baby Allheart!

Tell Mommy to you a blankie to curl up in!

Hard to tell which one is the best snugglebunny, isn't it! LOL
My my my... too cute!!

Kitty search is on hold there should be lots of kitty baby's in march so ill wait till then.

Giggle hello baby Allheart have you asked mummy to get you a coat to keep your little belly warm??
We can't have you getting a cold now can we.

Oh my god! How adorable they are. Millie looks like what are you bugging me for mom. For once I'm not running around like a tornado. Baby allheart is so adorable. He or she looks so content on that lap.
Syn, I hear you about the cat. I've got 5 and mr. chippers is just starting to talk to me again. I had to make a promise to never go into an animal shelter by myself for a long time. The last one is a handful. He's an alpha male and refuses to listen but I'm working on him. I never give up on animals. I felt sorry for the poor boy. He got locked in the hall closet last night until this morning and he's making everyone know he's mad about it. I've given him almost all the treats and he keeps going after my ankle.

I want a lovebunny for a cat next time. I had an Alpha Male (he's the one who died in December), and I still have a Princess (little miss precious paws don't insult my dignity) and a Zoom (oh look--shiny!).

I want one that will sit in my lap and purr :)

CBW - that's right. Sorry I forgot. A March baby would be just perfect!

Chippers how great is that 5 kitties. Too funny the one locked in the hall closet. Oh we've done that too Baby Allheart too. In the laundry room. Ya think she would bark or something. Oh my.

Oh Synne, so sorry about the one that passed in Dec. That just plain stinks!

Sigh millie decided she would do a bit of re-decorating tonight and projectile vomit all over our bed the floor and the door and of course herself it was just wonderful (not), I have no idea why she was icky poor little mite.

Oooh! Poor madam!

/hugs and kisses to her

Hope she (and you) feel better!

I have a princess type too, she's a tortishell and her name is Tori. She's quite the proper lady. My oldest one rules the roost. The grand dame I call her.
Lauren sorry to hear about Millie. There's a bug going around here as well. My boys (Devon and Ryan) just got over a respiratory thingy and two weeks later, have it back again.
Syn you have my sympathies, I put my Tabs down around the same time you did.
Ryan is still feeling her loss. tues. he asked to see the lock of hair the vet gave me.

AAAAWWWWW kitty talk makes me sad, I placed our boys box of ashes on the floor the other day and the youngest kitty scented the box then proceeded to lay next to it with his head on top of the box I swear he knew what was in the box its weird though they both seem a lot calmer since we got the ashes back.
Both of kitty boys are still missing there big kitty brother terribly and as for us well heck it still feels like I've lost an arm after being home with them every day since I was 25 weeks pregnant it was definitely a shock to the system not to have my big fat old boy following me around. His temprement was amazing he was so dosile it was untrue he loved to sleep on his back with his legs in the air in the hope you would tickle his tummy and the purr wow was it big. Hense why I can't go adopt another it has to be a kitten because nothing will compare to his amazing laid back nature.

Hi CBW!!

Is Millie feeling any better?

Oh how I know what you are saying about losing Sammie. There are just no words at all that can describe it.

I remember when I lost my little Tina Maire, hubby took me to the mall to take my mind off things. I am was just so upset that people were laughing and smiling and I was thinking, "don't you people get it???? I just lost my baby today". Oh boy.

I am so glad Sammie is back home.

Oh lauren< I'm sorry. I forgot for a moment you did the same as me and Syn. I can feel her presence. Still hear her meow and that cold wet nose of hers'! She used to sleep by the door of the nursery when the kisd were babies. Tabs was 3 years old when I adopted her and we had her for 12 years before I had to make the decision to put her down. Kidney failure did her in. as I keep telling myself, she was suffering and needed to rest and be painfree. The others knew something was going on because they stayed clear except the grand dame. She's always with me like glue. If anyhting happened to her, I'd be lost. She was 6 weeks when I adopted her and now she's 11.

Sammy was 16 we had him 6 years he was a gingantic cat he slept on my pillow I never got pillow I had cat so its bloody weird actually sleeping on a pillow.
Ive had monty since he was 8 weeks old he is now 9 I got him a week before my dad died so he is totally my baby the younger cat is a little monster but loving and sleeps in the bed with me lol.

But hey there my boys and I love them dearly god only knows what sort of hysterical mass ill be in when I have to say good bye to them.

Millies in bed asleep we are talking to our friend in Utah on skype hehehehehe so ill say good night to my lovely friends here its 1am and I'm ready for bed xxxxxx love to you all xxxxxx

Sweet dreams lady lauren. Tomorrow is another day. Find a way to thank yourself for all you've done with this thread.

Yawn good morning my sweet people hope your all well xxxxxxx

Good Morning my lovlies :)

Laura, I just loved reading about your cats. Oh how I know they become your heart.

Hugs and Kisses to one and all.

Today is going to be a great day. ( thought I would try a little positive thinking)

Hehehehehe Im still half asleep only got 3 hours kip last night... yawn

Have a great day xxxxxx love to you all xxxx

Only 3 hrs Laura? Is Millie still sick?

No hunn I just couldn't go off to sleep I led there and led there till I got fed up enough to get up take to pills log into the PC for an hour then went back to bed to try again at 4.30am lol

Good morning lovely goddesses. Lauren I hate nights like that. I've had'em where I toss and turn and fall asleep the wake up only to find out I slept for 20 minutes. I started taking melatonin which my doc said was safe and not habit forming. I take it an hour before I go to bed and I sleep through the night.
Allheart, everyday weree together here with you around is ALWAYS a positive day. It's day 10 for you isn't it? Hugs to you for a job well done.
Lauren, did you get the gum? It'll help I promise you. How's little madam doing today? My boys have done that and felt better 10 minutes later.
mr. chipper is back playing army today. So I'm being held captive by the two orangatans.
Now I could really use a ride down the stairs in the laundry basket.

LOL madams fine little cow was laughing 5 minnutes later when she was in the bath me on the other hand can still smell the sick and I've scrubbed till I was blue in the face yucky.
I haven't got gum yet no I'm to tierd to go to town and get it lol I will though eventually.

I have to admit I've thought about asking the dr for sleeping help but never got round to it I just hate the feeling in the morning like I've been out drinking all night its horrid but the pills work.

I have tried melotonin, I have also tried, Not sure of spelling ( Valerian).

Tried over the counter sleeping pills, never worked.

Somebody at my work told me to try Gravol, to take gravel before going to bed. You know what to my surprise it actually worked. Instead of getting my usual 2 hours sleep, I was actually able to sleep for 5 hours.

Oh and when I went to the doctor and asked him about the sleeping, you will have no idea what he gave me, of course no refills. Get this the doctor gave me Valium for help sleeping. It pretty much works the same as gravol, instead of 2 get about 5 or 6.

Best of luck with everybody.

Melatonin is over the counter in the vitamin section. I'll take it and wake up refreshed. Melatonin is naturally occurring in the body. As you get older, the level decreases.
The doctor just put me on ativan for dizziness since the antivert isn't working anymore.
Now There's a good little pill. If Im not careful, Ill be going down the stairs without the basket.

Chippers you crack me up!! How many weekends does hubby do? You should be proud of him and YOU :) How's it going with the pop? Is it gettng any easier? Yes, day 10. Sure isn't easy though. Thank goodness for all of you :)

Larua - Glad Millie is okay. Not much for those sleep aid things. Makes you feel so groggy the next day.

Joe - How are you feeling? Any better?

Miss our Synnen, hope she is doing well!! Thinking of you Synnen.

Hugs to all.

Me and millie are having quiet time while daddy has a nap :) her favourite show is on TV so we are off to react with it lol.

Hope everyone's having a good Saturday lots of hugs coming your way xxxx

Hugs back to you CBW.

Boy, I am not long away from a nap myself. Just waiting for the cake to cool down and then going down myself.

Lots of hugs.

Yawn what a day lol I just had a nice hot bath did all those girly things that have to be done lol;)

Im going to be having an early night tonight though bet you can guess why too lol

Have a good night there CBW and many sweet dreams.

Hope everyone's day went well.

Many hugs

You too hunny I'm sure going to enjoy snuggling up early and heck do I need it hhehehehehe

Have a good evening my lovely ladys xxxxxx

Well,

I am still taking the antibiotics. I am loading up on vitamin c. My wife is making homemade ginger and lemon tea. I am hearing impaired in the ear of the infection. My throat is better but my glands are still swollen and sore and ear still blocked. Other then that I am feeling a lot better then a week ago. I thought I was dying lol I guess it is not that funny.

We are now making some home made food tonight.

Real veal cutlets and homemade stuffed peppers. Am I making any of you hungrey?

Anyway, Hope all is well with everybody. Have a good evening.

He goes away one weekend a month, but had to teach a class today. The pop is going fine. Still to 4 cans. Or 2 20 ounce bottles less with the bottles by 8 ounces. I went into the boy's bedroom with a whip and a chair and cleaned it. I started at 12 noon and finished at 6p. Well I'm done for today. Tomorrow is another day.
Joe, you naughty boy you, my mouth is drooling over those stuffed peppers. I'm the only one here that likes them so I stick with the stouffers. I'm glad you're feeling better. My son went through that and his ear drum actually ruptured. And healed very nicely. Keep taking the antibiotics. Thank your new doc for saving your hearing. Fired the old quack.
I'm glad to hear madam is doing better. She's too precious to get sick.
I guess syn did get the goddess treatment today. The whole nine yards. I wonder if she got french tips withher pedi.
Talk to everyone later. I'm watching the blue collar comedy tour. After all that cleaning I need a good laugh

Just to update everybody,

The stuffed peppers were so so good. Hmmm, Ah ahAh Ah very good. Lol

I will send out some recipes.

Yes, I am going to cook up the quack soon. I took care of that. Lol

Yes, my hearing is still off, but I guess it will take some time to get back to normal.

Stuffed Peppers, did I read stuffed peppers?

Yummmmmmmm

We had Sloppy Joes tonight. Sorry Joe, did not mean to imply that you are sloppy.

I had a wonderful chat with Laura tonight. She has such a beautiful accent.

Rae is still talking about her talk with Laura.

Ooooohhhhhhhhh stuffed green bell peppers. I wish for one day when we all can get together. To actually meet each other. Thrrough these past 2 weeks I feel I've known you all longer. I can't tell you how much I enjoy these moments when I'm posting with you. I fell onto the web site by accident and I'm glad I did. We come from all over bringing a little bit of each of us to share a laugh, a cry, support, and most of all kindness and love.

I feel very lucky at the moment.

Beth

(and its not the ativan talking either:p )

I feel the same way. It is very good to meet everybody and get to know everybody. It is good sharing our stories with each other.

(and its not the Valium talking) lol

I think that would be an awesome idea, everybody getting together one day. We all come from different places. It is an amazing experience. The technology of today.

Joe

LOL J hunn they don't get the whole chat thing by the looks of it they think we talked like this giggle
I just loved how cute johnny sounded bless his little heart and rea is just a sweetheart bens still giggling over do they write english tee hee sure made me smile.
See we have been on at j to get a mic for weeks so we could skype but her computer didn't like that so we ended up using Yahoo instead hehehehe but it was fun and I have no doubt we will talk again :D

Good morning Ladys and Joe hope your all well xxxx

Good morning,

Lol

Good morning Ladys and Joe! Laura like the way you add me in there. Although it looks like I am the only guy here!

It is just like with all of my Wife's family. Every time there is a get together it is all the lady's and me.

Now that is changing slowly, Especially having Joshua. Lol

Hehehehehehe Joe we have you feeling left out now can we ;)

Good morning Joe and Ladies. Notice I put you first Joe. LOL

Rae still contests that maybe you English write in Latin Laura. I am still trying to convince her that the English speak AND write in English. LOL

She is so silly.

We would never want Joe to feel left out. Look at it this way Joe, Mrs. Joe is outnumbered in the Joe household with you and Joshua.

Wow, I liked that Janine, how thoughtful to put me first. (;

You never know though it might be evened out with the next little bundle of joy. Lol

Before anybody gets the wrong idea, no she is not pregnant, not yet anyway. (;

Rae is a funny one. Lol

Oh, Joe, you should have had a mic on!! Rae and her friend (twin) Paula are now going around trying to sound like Laura with the accent.

Hubby came home from work wondering how they turned into 2 little blonde Brits. LOL

Giggle how funny well they don't want to look like me that's for sure ;)

Has Rea started saving yet?

Good morning goddesses and, Joe. I know the feeling very well. I'm out numbered by 3-1. although I would debate that at times bcause I've no problem raising my voice. They seem to fall in line that way including army.
There's a commercial on TV where birds rign the door bell and shut the sliding glass door. Because the window is cleaned with windex the guy can't tell it's closed and walked into it.
3 days before hubby left for Iraq, I walked into a plate glass wall. I had a huge black eye that ran from my eyebrow to my cheek bone. That was the last thing my husband saw of me before leaving.
I ran into a couple of men from his unit and they asked me if hubby did it, I said if he did, do you imagine he would be walking.
It took 4 weeks to completely heal but the looks were priceless. Telling it was even better.
I can't watch that commercial without laughing

Yes, Laura, she has started saving. She was begging for her allowance last night and was even doing extra chores so that she could get more money!! LMAO

I still think it would be a great idea if we all could meet just once. I feel like were become a band of sisters with ben and joe as brothers. The way we get a long makes me think of high school. Where we would all get together in the cafeteria. We have our own possey. AndLauren is the queen for starting it.

Yes, Laura, she has started saving. She was begging for her allowance last night and was even doing extra chores so that she could get more money!!! LMAO

LOL bless her well hey she will need lots and lots giggle then she will have to be old enough to fly on her own giggle then she can come stay :D

I can remember since high school how I wanted to visit England. The more I think of it, the more intense the feeling gets. Seeing the churches, the history and the villages. It's kind of a romantic wish for me.

You would love where we live, either side of us we have where titanic sailed from on one side and the other is winchester cathedral and that was used in the da vinci code, winchester is amazing and one hell of a town. (we got married in the registry office there).

Did you actually see them filming the movie? It sounds amazing.

No it was well and truly shut off to many stars to protect hehehehehehe

How wonderful. I hear jane austen is buried there.
I love my country don't get me wrong. But its getting abit overwhelming at the moment. Everything is so mixed up. Just a different place or change of scenery sounds blissful

A change is as good as a rest so they say but to be honest there isn't anywhere in this sadistic world that's not screwed up.

A change is as good as a rest so they say but to be honest there isnt anywhere in this sadistic world thats not screwed up.

I know but need to make it better for our kids. I don't look at the bad but concentrate on the good around me. There are good people around. I focus on them. Like the ones I've met here.

Chippers, do you think (LAURA) really wants to be the queen? Lol

I do not know. As long as no one says that to me, we are all okay. Lol

Joe

LOL I do have an avatar that says I'm queen of the freeking universe giggle

Chippers, do you think (LAURA) really wants to be the queen? lol

I do not know. As long as no one says that to me, we are all okay. lol

Joe

Omg! I'm calling you by the wrong name. Where did I get the name lauren from. Sorry about that sweetie.

And yes Joe, I do believe she should want to be queen. She started this thread and brought all of us together. Sort of like the start of a new country. (non smokers, decaffientated and no take out subjects.) If I missed any newly given up vices, forgive me.
She can wear her crown as she slides down the stairs in the clothes basket.

I can't wait to upload pics of my boys. I so want to change that pic but need a nice one. I'm working on a new lap top so I have to up load the info off the desk top.
Your boy is adorable Joe. Treasure this time. Ryan just joined me and says Hello

omg! I'm calling you by the wrong name. where did I get the name lauren from. sorry about that sweetie.


GIggle its fine hunn I won't go into some of the things I've been called in my life tme but lauren was one of the nicest ;)

Lmao can I have a tiara rather than a crown there not so heavy and a special cushion for the basket I know I know I'm pushing my luck hehehehehehe

Your wish is our command. The tiara looks more romantic and regal any way.
No Joe, we won't make you the queen but the position of court jester is still available.

Chippers you are just too darn funny! Hope Synnen is enjoying her Goddess weekend :)
Laura and Joe, hugs to you both.

Sorry I haven't been popping in as much. Still on the top branch with you guys :).

It may be hard for me to pop in as much as I was, but please know, all of you, are in my thoughts, prayers and especially in my heart. I will pop in as much as I can.

I love you all dearly for this gift you have given me. Stay strong!!

Many hugs

Allheart

You'd better keep popping in christine. I control the power of the clothes basket and the stairs.

I didn't go :(

My husband surprised me on Friday with the new Vanguard game, so we played that together much of the weekend. I did laundry and dishes on Friday, and dusted today, but otherwise Mr. Synnen did all of the cooking and cleaning this weekend. It felt pretty good to just be a lazy wench this weekend!

Overtime again this week... everyone pray for me.

PS... I didn't try to go back and read everything I missed... ya'll were a bunch of Chatty Cathys! Hope all of you had a wonderful weekend, and are in good health and spirits!

Oh Synn that's sad hunn you deserved the pampering too but good on hubby for buying the new game and treating you like the goddess you are ;)

Good morning to you lovely ladys and my dear sweet Joe hope your all looking forward to an exciting Monday ;)
Ive just booked myself in for a smear test aren't I a lucky girl lol and I'm going to ring a cat rescue place once millies in bed :)

Hugs to you all xxxxx

Good morning everyone. I just got the boys off to school and I'm off for a doctors appoint. Syn you're lucky. You got to be a wench and I was the scullery maid cleaning out the boys bedroom. NOW There's A BIT OF FUN. Hubby made pork chops last night while I recovered. Love to all. Have a god day and I'll check in later. Has a good day to you to Joe. Hope you're feeling better.

Beth aka chippers

Hey all :)

Sending lots of hugs on this lovely day :):)

Stay strong!!

Morning Me dearys hope your both well... me and millie are playing with building blocks or rather I'm building she is distroying giggle what a team huh ;)

We make our niece Lauren pretend to sneeze down the blocks when she's going to knock them all over . The great thing about being around kids is you get to play with toys you haven't even thought of in years, and end up having more fun with them than the kids do.

I just thought that I should warn you... my calendar today states that oysters, chocolate, strawberries, champagne, alcohol, anchovies, rhinoceros horn, snake blood, spanish fly and carrots are NOT aphrodisiacs. Shhhh... don't tell Mr. Synnen. I want chocolate strawberries and champagne for Valentine's day!

LOL heck you mean you will actually get a valentines... there extinct here lol

We don't have kids... makes a HUGE difference.

Plus... that was part of the deal when we started dating. We both were talking about pet peeves that we'd had with past relationships, and one of mine was forgetting important days, like Valentines, and birthdays, and anniversaries, etc.

My husband has never missed a single one, and I think it's due to that discussion.

I'm going to talk him into going out to dinner on Thursday, and the "one month anniversary" of our quitting smoking :P

LOL it passed us by even before we had kids!!

We usually do silly things for it. One year, we exchange the AWFULLEST Valentines we could find... stuff like "I love you so much I even love your farts!" We laughed soooo hard. Most of the time, it's just an excuse to justify a wanted expense, rather than a needed one... one year, we got cell phones for each other, another year it was the DVD player.

Hehehehehehe funny, millie will probably get daddy a card but that will be it.
Talking of millie its nap time the little madam is trashing the living room as I type.

Poor madam! I bet that's her protest of a nap!

Tell her that I'll take her nap for her!

Giggle we can both take her nap ;)
I have to admit ove notced she gets increasingly naughty when she is tierd the little madam is quite a character.

Well, at least she's not naughty ALL of the time!

She sounds so darned adorable!

Oh she isn't naughty just flipping trying hehehehehe she clonked her head about an hour ago its going to be a lovely bruise on her forehead to go with the scratch on her nose looks good doesn't it lol she is a very adventurous child with no fear at all.

I should be doing the washing up and putting the next load of washing into the dryer and cleaning up the dinning room but I have my lazy butt on its Monday after all ;)

I don't want to work today. I'll admit it. It's snowing outside, and yucky, and I just wish I were at home with a good book and some classical music!

I don't think I'll ever again get used to MN winters. I have a feeling that once our parents are no longer around, my husband and I will be moving someplace warmer again... so only 30 years or so more of ick weather!

Ooooooo you have snow... I can't wait for millie to see snow lol
I agree though you should be at home all curled up with tea and cakes hehehehehe

You can HAVE the snow.

You can also have the high today of 10 F. Ick.

I want spring. And a nap. Tell madam to scoot over. :)

Giggle believe it or not madam slept for exactly half an hour and is now stood in front the TV dancing along to her favourite person she is also kind of smelly but daddys on his way home ;)

Who is her favorite person? Is that something I've missed from previous posts?

I love watching toddlers dance. They are so carefree about it. We could take lessons from them!

Well i havent had a cigi since 8am this morning it was the last one now ive tried on numerous occasions to quit smoking and im just not flipping strong enough to do it i always cave in.
Now i know theres no easy way to do this and i have to admit boy am i feeling dizzy and funny but i can't give in i need to do this for millie not just for myself.

So is there anyone out there with any words of wisdom and dont what ever you do lecture me on whats in a cigi it wont do a thing the women at the clinic tried that and i just laughed and said look i already have arsonic in me so thats really not gonna scare me into stopping. I want support not a telling off after all im an adult not a pubescent teen.

Thank in advance hugs

Laura
Hi, am a complete newbie so here goes!
Just wanted to offer you my support and let you know that stopping is totally do-able, one of the hardest things is to get to the point where you want to give up AND want to do something about it. I had to go cold turkey when I fell pregnant, then I went back to smoking after he was born. I am quite highly strung(! ) so like you used to have one to keep me calm! I just got to the point one day where I'd look at my littlun' and think to myself that I wouldn't get to see him grow up if I didn't stop smoking. This thought hurt me more than anything and it got to the point where every time I had one this was on my mind; I'd dream up heartbreaking scenarios of me having to tell my children that I was dying, because I had a habit that I couldn't break. So I went cold turkey again and managed to quit! Patches did work for my husband (free from the 'quit smoking clinic'). Not for me-i had to break my routine up e.g. normally I''d have a fag & a coffee before I went to work -i replaced that with changing to tea and waiting until I got to work to have it.
Anyway, sorry to blather on, didn't mean to write an essay, just wanted to say that if you really want to quit - YOU CAN DO IT!!

Oh, Little Joshua just got his 4 month vaccinations.

Laura we have lots of snow here too.

Bye for now.

Oooh... Poor Joshua! I'm betting he's not so happy about that!

Nope, Was not happy at all. Even before the needles as soon as we undressed him and laid him down on the doctor table he started bawling even before hand. I think he knew what was coming up. We gave him a little bit of tylenol before the shots.

Well, that table was COLD! Jeesh! I wouldn't have been happy either!

Hope he feels better soon!

Ya, he is kind of cranky right now but he will get over it. My wife fed him right after the shots as a way of calming down which worked pretty good. Oh, you he has started his teething process too. Double wammy.

Well I am going for a nap before work.

LOL oh just wait Joe the jabs get worse as they get older we have to hold them in our arms here and steady them its horrid plus from 9 weeks millie had a jab every month to prevent colds and chest infections and every other month they would take blood and that was taken from the scalp now that was yucky.

Make sure you give the little man lots of cuddle and cold carrot sticks ready for those gums ;)

OMG - Popping in again.

CBW - Sorry to go of topic. LMAO - Two bricks huh?? I honestly nearly swallowed my cough drop. And you were serious!! Darn right!

Hugs to all.

I tell you what Christine I'm bloody livid the guys deserves all he gets flipping arse hole

That was pretty bad CBW. I wish to heck I never looked at that darn one. I was at work, and I have mounds to do, but I felt I couldn't just walk away from it.

All I kept thinking about was those 3 babies. Just killed me.

I worry sometimes how stable these people are. Oh anyway, had me shaken just a bit.

Many hugs to all.

You know... I don't have a problem with abortion. Every person's life is different, and so are every person's choices. I have no right to judge (I'm not God, after all!) someone else's choices.

I don't condone the use of abortion as birth control (three abortions is obviously birth control)... but consenting to sex does NOT mean consenting to pregnancy.

I've faced the choice, and decided that it wasn't the route I could go... but I was also extremely grateful that I had the right to choose or not to choose.

I think that anyone who hasn't faced that choice has no idea how hard it is to make (for MOST people, anyway). Regardless what you decide to do, you've scarred yourself for life.

That guy did take scum to a new level, though.

Hi Synnen,

Exactly why I couldn't say what I was thinking, because I was never in that situation. But boy, one word did come to mind when I was reading it. And see, it was drilled in our heads both at school and at home... judge not... and I do live by that, I try to, that's why I had to switch off to what I was taught. Oh boy. Just awful.

But here's a hug for you. {... }

The guys an arse and deserves all he gets and as for the girlfriend well heck she must be pretty bloody stupid to mind you to put up with it there are some seriously sick people in this world that just don't give the human race a good name I don't suffer fools gladly and I'm a bit of a sceptic with all the idiots that cry wolf on here about there boyfriends etc and how they can't cope for heavens sake we have all been there we all have the t shirts get over it move on and look forward lifes to dam short to live in the past, but when it comes to lying cheating scoundrils like that well hell he doesn't want to meet me in a dark ally ill have two bricks waiting for him.

Lots of love and hugs to you sweety xxxx

You're such a sweetie, Allheart. I could just cuddle you to death.

Hi honey :)

Tell it like is girl :). Oh Laura what a mess and that saddest part is, he didn't expect that from us at all. I don't think he got how vile his actions were. He does now though, or at least I hope.

I got so hung up on that stinkin smile face on his post, I'm laughing about it now, somewhat, but it was driving me crazy, reading those words of his, and that stupid smiling face on his post!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I honestly think my brain did that on purpose, because I couldn't handle what I was reading.

The BEST thing for his wife is to get away from him and start a fresh life. Oh boy.

Now every time I see two bricks together, I will LMAO and think OUCH! LOL. The best way is the Laura way!!

I have this gut feeling, don't ask me why, that is wife will be glad to be rid of him. Just a feeling I have. Maybe it's just a hope that I have that she won't be hurt. I can be a DUH sometimes.

Lots of love and hugs

If I were her Christine id be thankfull I was in a different country and the kids didn't have that much contact in the first place because as far as I'm concerned that man doesn't deserve her or them.

Gggggrrrrr darn men huh

And Laura she may be. He may be so disillusioned. Maybe she wants nothing to do with him.

And hey, he wasn't alone, he had help from that girlfriend of his! The whole thing is just so stomach turning.

Like they say, you think you got troubles. Cripes!

How was your day otherwise!! I did okay with the urges today (until I read the smiley face post), but the urges are lessining a little. Not as fierce.

Keep it up hunny your doing wonderfully do you feel proud?? Because you sure should be you are amazing you are wonderful and special and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!!

We love you xx

Thanks Laura. So much. Smiling hugely.

Your very special to me. :)

Proud? Well, I shouldn't have picked the darn things up to start with. But I am glad.

Thanks so much.

Lots of hugs to you.

( two bricks huh... hee hee... so love it and YOU :)


You're such a sweetie, Allheart. I could just cuddle you to death.

Oh Synnen, cuddles right back to you :).

Love you honey.

What a great way to end a day of OMG did you see that post.!

Lots more hugs.

As far as Joshua goes he is still not himself. He has been crying a lot since yesterday. My wife said there was a bruise on his leg, and when I came home this morning big swollen and red and it is huge. I was very surprised this happened because never had any problems with the first shots. These shots are exactly the same. The doctor used that bacterial stuff before giving the needle. Never seen that used instead of alcohol. Another thing the doctor asked is how much we bath him. Both my wife and I were curious why he would ask that question. His outfit was wet, but not dirty. Wet from all that extra syliva from teething. Anyway, I am sure he will be all right, just curious on why he has such a bad reaction this time and last time had no problem.

I will be on later. Take care everybody.

Joe

What the heck did I miss yesterday? Joe I'm sorry to hear about joshua's day at the doctors. I' d call the doc again and have him check the red bump. Especially if he's had the same shots as before. You could try rubbing it with an ice cube wrapped in a wash cloth. That might help. I'd give him tylenol again to help soothe and comfort him. It'll help with the teething too. Poor little guy.
My 11 year old son had a tetenus shot 2 weeks ago and it took me and the nurse to hold him down. So I feel for you.
Laura, kiss little madam for me the little darling.
My first valentines day present after I got married was morning sickness. A box of godiva chocolates would've done the trick.

Luve ya's Beth.
Ps I'll be running in and out today with mr. chippers, so I'll try to keep up. I'm an old lady after all.

Wow, I was surprised on how much I missed yesterday too.

Thank you Beth,

My wife goes to this group today. Meeting with other new mothers and the nurse is the one that is the lead person there. So I reminded and said that it is important that Joshua gets checked out by the nurse while he is there.

Joe

Lots of hugs to all of you beatufiul people today :):)

Love each of you with all my Allheart heart :)

Good morning Lady's and our lovely Joe notice I don't include ben separately huh huh ;)

Hope you are all well and happy madams all cuddlytoday woo hoo that doesn't happen very often I can tell you hehehehehe

Lots of love and hugs
Laura xx

Are you including Ben as one of the lady's? :eek:

Lol

I hope not. :o

Hehehehehehehe its funny I just didn't include him at all ;)

Hi again :)

Boss will be late today, coworker out sick – So I got be quick..

Hope all of you are doing well today. CBW – hope I didn't offend anyone on that thread. I have a very screwy head. 1) Sometimes I worry that people will hurt themselves, if you know what I mean. Sometimes that worries me. 2) I honest to heaven don't know how he lives with himself. That's why I recommended he see some sort of clergy. I just couldn't cope with all of that on my own. Even though it was his own doing. I was just wondering if maybe someone or something brought him to AMHD to help change his ways. Like Divine Intervention or something. Sorry, I'm rambling.

But love me anyway okay :). Just feel very bad for Mr. Allheart, imagine having to live with this head.

Chippers, Synnen & Joe – Hugs to you as well :)

Love,
Screwy Allheart

Allheart,

Honestly, you should not be afraid of somebodies reaction and I will tell you why. In the real world. It is a lot more harsher then our words here. In the real world it would be a lot harder for him to face up to the people he screwed with. I feel that reality is needed to some people and a high dose of it.

You need to understand though that if somebody is going to do something it will be there own choice and that something would drive them to do something it is there own problem. If they decide to do something stupid it has nothing to do with what you or anybody else said. They are not quite well and it does not matter what anybody else says they would probably do it anyway.

Honestly though that guy did not sound to swift and does not sound like he is all there anyway, doubt he would know what to do!

Joe

LOL you aren't screwy your just thoughtfull I'm afraid I'm a little to hard to care that much I think you could call me evil ;)

Have a good day sweety lots of love and hugs xxxx

You guys are so sweet.

I don't think anyone was too harsh at all. He needed to hear it all and more. But just in a general sense sometimes it does cross my goofy mind.

Believe me, if he is capable of doing what he did, come here with that stupid smiley face, not even come here with how to deal with the hurt he feels about the 3 babies (notice that is not why he came here), he can stand a harsh word. I do understand that, and yet, sometimes I still worry.

Yes, don't think everybody's home there either. Oh boy.

Laura, you are the sweetest ever. Believe me, hubby gets soooooooooo frustrated with me.

Anyway, many hugs back :):)

The reason I love this group so much is not just for the support but your kindness and honesty. I like it because it comes from the heart and a true cynic like me can see its for real. Christine, don't ever apologise for caring. You never know that by speaking honestly you may make someone see day light. Your honestly is also your passion.
Laura, you have a maternal streak that runs a mile wide to match your heart of gold. I can feel the love you have for your child with every word you write. Your advice comes through as something our mothers would say.
Joe, Ben, you're the guys. Your advice comes from different points of veiw that grounds us and gives us balance. And a its nice to have men around as well.
Syn, you're a wonderful goddess. You're full of hope and passion. Your love of life shines through you in a strong way.
I'm proud to be a part of such a great group.

GROUP HUG {... }

Oh dear lord... Hope and passion? Don't let anyone who knows me see that! They'll wonder who you're talking about!

I'm a cynic and a pessimist... I just try to be nice about it!

I just have a bunch of good friends here in this thread, and I wouldn't trade it for much of anything. Well.. wait... don't take this the wrong way, but if I had to give you up to have a baby, well... I would miss you a LOT!

LOl synnen... that's my hubby. LOL. He has the biggest heart, but OH MY GOD. Cynic and pessimist. When I say something, his face gets soooo red. You would think after all this time he would get used to it, but nope. I don't do it on purpose LOL.

I need help... is their a web site I can go to for advice.. hmmmmm LOL. Sometimes I don't even like me.

Ohhhhh I need a hug!

/gives Allheart a great big huge bear hug

LOL... oh yes you can. :):). Get nice and cozy my friend.

I better get back to work myself. It just keeps coming in. Guess that's why I am here..

Love to all.!

As I look at it, were all head cases. Its making the world a little less scary and a lot more fun. Keep in mind. Were goddesses (still working on Joe and Ben though its hard. Maybe muses will do) and we make the world beautiful by merely gracing it with our presence.
And having such wonderful people such as yourselves makes it evenmore beautiful.
Yes syn, you can get back under the covers now because I'm heading to my own thick comforter too.

Chippers

How about a tuna sandwich, with onions and tomatoes and cucumbers all diced and mixed with some mayo. Mouth watering I tell you.

Or a club sandwich. Bacon, lettuce, tomatoe, cucumber, ham slices and of course some mayo. The triple decker, especially with all those ingredients.

I settled for mini sausages and chili sauce my favourite sandwich though is tuna mixed with hp brown sauce lol don't ask it sounds pretty yuck but it's a childhood thing.

I'm going home shortly for peanut butter and banana sandwiches. And some soup, but I haven't decided what kind yet.

Grrrr... sooooo hungry now!

I was saying what I would like to make. I guess I will settle on canned cambells soup.

I have a pot of home made soup on the stove come on over ;)

Home made soup. What kind of homemade soup?

Roast veg and cream :D

Roast veg and cream :D


OOOOOOh Laura that sounds incredibly yummy. Would be perfect for today.

Cat is a favorite to Japenese.

Oh, maybe I should not have said that.

I have to say that sounds good laura, but I have a favorite. Homemade Clamchowder soup. Yummy.

Off to eat my canned soup );

Ack, no! Too much hair!

MmmMmm good... Campbell's Tomato soup and grilled ham and cheese sandwiches. I'm sooooo full now.

I had two tacos and indegestion. Ate them too fast. The iced tea better than soda though. I've got a visitor out back. This huge tabby cat? He's a stray and I'm trying to coax him/her inside. He/she's hiding in the ground hog's bullet hole. I've fed him/her and see how it goes.

Soup was yumm roast veg is my fav but what makes it is the roast potatoes too :D

Ive fallen off the branch... who bloody let go of my leg huh??

Im pretty cross with myself let alone anyone else being cross too

I will speak for Chippers if that's okay.

Trust me... Chippers would not be cross at all. ( Right Chippers :)

Ive fallen off the branch........who bloody let go of my leg huh???


It was me and my clumsy self. Love you Laura. You were doing without any assistance at all. I have medicine.

I so love you. Now get back on this branch with us.!

You fell off the branch.

Honey... everyone falls off sometimes.

Are you going to STAY off, or are you going to let us lift you back up here?

It was me and my clumsy self. Love you Laura. You were doing without any assistance at all. I have medicine.

I so love you. Now get back on this branch with us. !!!

Im going to the dr's tomorrow for a smear test so I'm also going to see the receptionist for the quiters help lady's telephone number.

I had to tell you I was feeling rotton

Laura,

If you are upset at yourself, I will be so mad at you and I mean it.

Do you know they lace the cigs with more of an addictive ingredient!!

I really will be mad if you are down on yourself!


Im going to the dr's tommorow for a smear test so im also gonna see the receptionist for the quiters help lady's telephone number.

I had to tell you i was feeling rotton

Laura, I couldn't do it on my own. See what they say tomorrow. Please don't be upset.
Proud of you for just wanting to.

Gosh, you must have fretted telling us. You should't have worried at all. That's why we here!

I honestly love you (isn't that a song LOL )

Hangs head in shame sorry guys I'm back to 5 a day but when I've seen the quit lady ill try again :D

5 a day is not bad at all. Just be sure and keep it there until you get to the docs.

Nothing to hang your head about at all.!

It was me and my clumsy self. Love you Laura. You were doing without any assistance at all. I have medicine.

Thank you for all being so sweet xxxxx

What does quitters help do?

Honey... I'm proud that you still want to do it, and that you're going to get help!

It IS hard, and let me tell you, my husband hears every DAY how hard it is. If we had insurance (it doesn't kick in until March) I would be at the doctor's DEMANDING drugs to get through this!

This is my 3rd time trying, and so far it's my most successful. I'm scared of falling off the branch too, every single day! But I wouldn't be afraid to come to you... you're there to lift me right back up.

So... maybe you have to sit a branch below us for a day or so. So what? We can still reach you! And we still love you to pieces!

(silly woman for beating yourself up like this)

What does quitters help do?


Our dr's can no longer perscribe medication to stop/help you quit smoking you have to see someone in quitters to discuss the best possible route to quit blah blah blah then she gives the dr a letter saying perscribe this its some bloody government waste of time.

Laura,

Go through the drill. It will be worth it. I love what Synnen just said to you. It goes for all of us.

Head up!! And where the heck is my homemade soup ;)

You're the best Laura. Not sure how else to say it, other than you are the BEST!

Like Synnen, just even more proud that you will be back at it.

Hugs to you.

Think I might wait till I get my 30th birthday out the way that's one less thing to be stressed about.

I just want to say hello to everybody! Like I said to laura, once you fall off the branch all you do is dust yourself off and get back up there. With the encouragement of really good friends.

Hugs to everybody! Going to try to get some sleep before work time.

Joe

Think i might wait till i get my 30th birthday out the way thats one less thing to be stressed about.

Laura,

See what they say tomorrow. And if that's your plan, to wait until after your birthday, then that 's your plan. Nothing is set in stone and march to your own drummer girl.
Hey, we all know how tough this crap is.

So just put it out of your mind right now and enjoy each day that comes. Life is just to darn short, to fret about anything for too long.

So smile that beautiful smile!!

Don't be stressed about being 30, honest Laura. I told you 30s are a blast.
Just hug that Millie and throw away any sad or stressed thoughts.!

Many hugs

Hello Joe and goodnight Joe :D

Thank you guys your all so fab xxxxxx

Thankyou guys your all so fab xxxxxx

Back at you ;)

I think that laura was getting stressed out, hee hee. I kept saying I was going to go to bed and sleep but I still have not yet. Hee Hee.

Joe

Joe go to bed your naughty xx

Long time ago when we were Fab!

I've been singing that one line all morning from whatever the heck song that is. George Harrison, I think. Gah.

Beatles? Oh, Beatles my favorite group. I know I am being naughty still.

LOL I just bought a load of beatles stamps to send to my friend tess in Utah

Oh laura, as my mouth piece said earlier (hi all heart) I'm not angry. We're human and it happens. Joe's got the right idea. Dust yourself off and come back up here on the top branch again. Don't let it discourage you. You started this thread and brought us together. I'd be upset if you gave up but not for one little fall. It's fixable.
Do what you need to do. Everyone needs to do it in their own way.

Were goddesses after all. Fab goddesses and with joe and ben our demi gods

Hugs to you all and thank you for being so nice xxx

http://picsures.com/usr/318/LB_KeychainRose_LAURA-vi.jpeg

You have the key to our hearts :D Always !

We love you Laura

You are so sweet kiddo! You deserve the first slide down the stairs;)

Hello everybody,

Just got home from work. 3 am. Bright and early. Was following two darn plows all 5 minutes from my work to near 5 minutes home. Frustrating. Long long long day that I thought would never end and then it took forever to get home.

Laura,

You were right there is nothing to worry about. The a couple of tests were incunclusive but the dr said do not worry about it. Got to say though this one checked everything out. Wish I had a doctor like that.

As far as my throat is still sore and still hard to swallow at times. My glands are still very sore. When is this going to end?

Anyway, Goodmorning EVERYBODY.

Oh, I was really tempted to fall off that branch and go to Mcdonalds. The question is would I have told My wife, I fell off?

Joe

Back to the dr then Joe can't have you poorly can we.

Good morning lady's hope everyone's well xxxx

Good morning goddesses and gents.

Joe because your step was so severe, it'll take a little longer for the glands to go down and the sore will go away. Considering how swollen your ears were, it could've been worse.
I too almost fell off the branch yesterday. I wanted that third bottle of soda sooooooooo bad. I bought it and its still sitting in my frige though. I'm drinking decaff iced tea instead or more like half decaff/ half regular. I've been up all night couldn't sleep for some reason. I get those every now and then and I just have to ride it out.
I had an mrI of the head yesterday and I hate being confined in a small space. The boys just went to school and I can take a break this morning.

Sorry to be such a wishy washy. I'll perk up later. Or more like now that I've been to the goddesses thread.;)

Hehehehehehe ill drink that for you... takes the bottle from chippers ;) slllluuuuurrrrpppppp mmmmm that was good :D

COFFEE!!

Joe, you would have HAD to tell your wife!

Glad the doc says it's nothing to worry about, though. And glad you're feeling better, even if it's not 100% yet, Joe.

good morning goddesses and gents.

Good Morning everyone - Laura good luck today at the docs.

Synnen - Stay strong there girl, and did you reschedule your pampering.. hmmm??

Joe, glad Joshua is okay. :):). Must have been such a worry. Poor little guy.

Love all of you.

I'm just cranky because I'm not pregnant. You can just tell me to shut up any time :)

I want chocolate donuts and everyone up here in our tree to be healthy and happy. Mostly the latter, but a lot of the former, too.

Didn't reschedule my pampering yet. I'm too cranky and just want to be at home with bonbons and a book.

My special Synnen,

At least schedule a nice bubble bath for yourself this weekend. Saying special ones for Synnen. K ?

Many hugs.

Hello folks it seems swallening and my glands are worse.

It is weird. It seemed it was getting better then it just got worse. I am a bit worried.

See you later sometime.

Joe

Chippers,

Thank you, I know I should give it some time. I wonder why the relapse. I hope you are right that it just because It was so strong and just needs extra healing.

About the cola, that is okay. I understand if I fell, and ate my Cravings of Mcdonalds that I would need to let my wife know she would be understanding. It is just like any other addiction.


Joe

Joe... You should maybe go (back?) to the doctor (sorry, wasn't sure if you already went--I can't seem to keep my train of thought today). That sounds icky!

Allheart... thanks doll :)

You guys rock! Just knowing that you are all here to help makes all of this so much easier for me!

Yep I told him to go back this morning when we spoke personally I think he needs more anti b's :)

Yes, get more Anti-B's!

We just want you to get better, Joe. Get some rest and drink a lot of fluids!

Joe,

Agree with the others. Time to go back to the docs. It's just a really strong bug that's grabbed you, so you need a powerful med to counteract it.

Keep in mind that other quak was treating you at the early stages, so this bug really had a chance to set in.

Don't mess around with it.

Many hugs to all!!

Yes listen to mummy Alheart giggle she knows best you know ;)

LOL hee hee. Sorry :o I can be the mothering type... even when not asked to be... sooorrrry :).

For some reason, I feel pretty good today. Not sure why. Guess I shouldn't question it.
I think I just see the week coming to an end. Yippee!!

Hope everyone's day is going well.

LOL don't apologise I like it its sweet kind of nice to know someone cares like that if you know what I mean xxx

Yeah joe, the docmay need to switch antibiotics. Ask them to do another throat culture as well. I feel better than I did this morning. After allhearts group hug, how could I not be. I took a nap after the kids left for school.
Syn they have out chocolate bubble bath and its great. You soak in it and feel like hot chocolate and the bubble are whip cream. In fact we all should pamper ourselves as well. We deserve it.
Good luck with the doctor laura, and don't kick yourself about falling off the branch. You'll bruise those lovely goddess legs of yours:)
We're waiting for snow tonight, but tey've been saying it all week and getting it wrong. I feel bad for the kids because they want a snow day so badly they can taste it.

I love you all!

Hi you there chippers, glad you are feeling better. I have just got to look into that bubble bath!! You're a sweetie Chippers :)

Hugs to all!!

Good Morning Everyone :) and Happy Friday, where has it been hiding!!

Hope the sun shines for everyone today :)

Joe, hope your feeling better. Stop in when you can and let us know how you are.

I did go back to the hospital. I was feeling worse. They just told me to get some stuff for my throat and take advil for the swollen glands. They took a throat swab just to make sure.

If it gets worse or turns into a fever then come back.

Ahhhhhhggg Tired of this. I am going to load up on popsicles and advil.

Hmmmm.


Good morning everybody, Still up and about. Got home at around 6 am. Spent three hours waiting to see the doc. Fell asleep while waiting.

Oh, fell off the branch. Had Wendys yesterday before going to work. My wife did too.

Have a good day everybody. You are all in my thoughts, you're a great bunch of friends.

(;

Yawn good morning folk's another crazy day in the curly household its Friday and ben finishes work early so that means I get to clean while he and millie play.

Oh wow! Happy Anniversary! Congratulations!

(Millie isn't already spoilt rotten?)

Giggle thank you Allheart xxxx

Syn you could well have a dam good point there but they buy her something every time they see her hehehehe what she will get tomorrow are her christmas pressents we just didn't get time to all get together over christmas so she is going to have a great time in the restaurant tomorrow lol

So... you're celebrating a birthday, an anniversary, and Christmas all tomorrow?

Sounds like a heck of a bash!

(Can I come?)

Of course you can Synn we are off to have a carvery late lunch hehehehehe millie will no doubt go all shy and then pester our friend steve for the rest of the afternoon she rather likes him I think it's the glass's.
It's dinner time here :) off to feed the short cheeky person.

She's not cheeky! You're going to give our madam a bad name!

She's just way too adorable to be cheeky!

Giggle what about the short stinky naughty cheeky person

I think you're just imagining her!

I think you're just imagining her!

Oh I don't think so lol if you could see the state of her she has her dinner all over her face up her arms and down her legs lol she likes to share her food with every part of herself... as for the washing yes well the trousers will never be clean again...

Ha Ha Ha,

Food all over the place, that is so funny.

I guess I should not laugh. Occasionally Joshua gets poop all over his back and legs.

I can not wait for the messy food stage. Will be a lot better then the pooping stage.

I tell everybody my goal is for Him to be potty trained at the one year mark. Lol

My goals are high.

Oh joe don't even think about rushing the potty thing that's not a good idea lol

As for the food thing oh just you wait cackles evily...

Your evil laugh does not scare me a bit.

The potty thing will come natural. He is super baby of the year, he wants to do

Everything super fast like superman. I call him my little superman.

I am bragging about my baby boy. Guess I have that right. Lol

(; (; (;

Giggle boy's are the hardest to get clean giggle just remember they all do things in there own time and pace ;)

As for the bragging well hell why shouldn't you he is a hansom chap

I am not pushing him to be superman. He is doing all the lightning fast talking, and rolling, and lifting, and letting gas go free, that is probably what helps him fly by the way.
After only 2 days old he was lifting his head on his own and looking around. I am proud to call Joshua my superbaby!

Hee Hee.

I know Laura, everything comes in his own time and pace, but he seems like he wants to soak everything up and be superman all on his own. I have to feed that appetite of his learning.

Please do not burst my bubble. Please. It is a nice bubble and I want to keep it.

Joe

LOL you crack me up you wait till he is 13 and shouting uuuuuggggghhhhhh dad I hate you and grunting at every question lol I'm dreading the teens

Ha Ha,

My wife still thinks I am going to work. She is like you have to leave at 2 pm and it is one and did not get any sleep yet.

Ha Ha.

OOOOOOOO your being mean I'd be inclined to kick your arse for that one ;)

She figured it out. She did not kick me in the arse. She was happy to have me at home. She figured it out when I still did not leave at 2:30. She likes when I surprise her like that. When she thinks I am going to work, but then she finds out that I am not going then she is so happy.

Oh, I have to tell you a story. One time I pretended to go to work and left. She was watching the Creepy Canada show. About different Ghost stories in Canada. I banged on the door and hid. She came looked around could not find anybody and I did it again. Had a family member visiting. She had the family member look for her. She was freaked. Then they saw me and she laughed and realized it was only me, I think I got a slap for that one. Lol

I had fun. Not after she hit me but before that it was funny. She did laugh after. She said she would not be so spooked if she was not watching that show. I got her good. (;

Happy anniversary laura! And many more. Happy birthday as well. Turning 30 is great. You feel like you're entering a new stage of your lfe and its wonderful.

Joe, I've survived potty training two boys. They are harder to do.but ot impossible. Especially for super baby!


Talk with you later. Mr chippers is taking me out to lucn tomorrow. He's treating me for cutting back on soda and caffeine.

LUV TO ALL

chippers

It is so nice to have a treat. That is really nice that Mr.Chippers is taking you out for lunch. We had wendys yesterday.

So it is harder to potty train a boy, why is that?

Hugs to everybody.

Joe

LOL Joe you will find out soon enough hehehehehehe

Well I'm up I'm not awake and I want to go back to bed wwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaa

Happy Anniversary - Laura and Curlyben

With wishes of many many more :)

Hugs,

Allheart

AAAAAWWWWWWW thank you thank you thank you xx

Chippers,

How was your lunch date with Mr. Chippers?

Joe

It was great. Thank you for asking. He took me and the boys to the lone star for an early dinner. How are you feeling Joe? I'm glad you went to the doctors again. Give joshua a kiss for me



Love you

chippers

Evening chippers me deary glad to see you have had a good day, I'm having terrible trouble with madam she is grinding her new back teeth like anything not only do I hate the noise with a passion but she keeps catching her tongue and heck is she misserable she will send me to an early grave at this rate ;)

Chippers,

I am happy your date went really really well. It was very nice of Mr.Chippers to take you out, sounds very good.

I went to the doctor (Emergency) and she just told me to take advil and throat lozengers and took a throat swab but no results. My glands are still very swollen and sore and it still hard to swallow at times. Feeling lots tired. Its going on three weeks now that this has still not cleared up. I am starting to get fed up and frustrated.

Joshua has been extra cranky lately but then there are other times he laughs so hard he starts to cough. I was telling laura that Joshua is up all day and night and does not nap, thinking it is time to start him on food now. I will give Joshua a kiss from you. (; Thank you for asking about how I am feeling and little Joshua.

Laura - I guess now I know why your cranky, Millie is really testing you. Those sounds of teeth grinding is an awful sound. Oh, and poor millie's tongue must be so so sore. That stage will pass soon.

Joe

Testing isn't quite the word it's a noise that seriously puts me on edge I hate it with a passion it has more effect than finger nails down a blackboard.
Just waiting to see what sort of mood she is in today because I will take her down to the dr and ask for her ears to be checked because she just isn't herself.
Well I'm now 30 feeling kind of weird too lol
Hope you all had a great weekend and are looking forward to the week ahead.
Love to you all xxxx

Happy Birthday to You - Happy Birthday to You - Happy Birthday Dear Laura, Happy Birthday to You! Sending lots of love and hugs your way!!

Oh my goodness that is such a cool picture hehehehehe i love it thankyou hunny xxx


You just be sure and enjoy your day :). The fun has only just begun... Promise ;)

Oh Chippers, you so deserve the night out. How nice of Mr. Chippers. How are you feeling with the less caffeine? Keep out it girl.

Joe, I hope you and little Joshua are 100% soon. We can’t have super baby not feeling well or his daddy.

Laura, hang in there honey and I hope Millie is feeling better today. It’s probably all tied in to the new teeth coming through. Be sure and enjoy your day!!

Synnen, hope your weekend went well. We missed you!!

Good Morning everybody. Sending my Love to you all! From Our Family to you guys (;

Happy Birthday Laura!!

What a beautiful Card from Christine!!

Just dropping in today before going to work. On the day shift this week. Hope all is well with everybody.

Laura - As far as Millie goes it is a good idea to get everything checked out, I think Christine is right probably has something to do with the new teeth coming in, but you never know, it is good to get the ears checked as well.

Hope you all have a good day and I will drop in later on! (:

Keep smiling!! (;

Hehehehehehe thank you guys,

Don't any of you be working to hard now will you, bens got the day off and I don't intend on doing a lot that's for sure tee hee

Happy Birthday dear Laura, Happy birthday to you. May the gods and goddesses send many rays of sunshine your way today. You above all deserve it.
I'm so sorry to hear my babies are having so much trouble with teething. The back teeth are the worst but it'll pass. Keep giving tylenol or advil. A teething ring that's been in the freezer will help soothe her gums. Same for you Joe. Try a teether or a pacifier in the freezer. We kept the boys in there all the time when they weren't using them. We dipped them in fruit punch then froze them. Or when they were really bad we painted them with advil drops.
When our boys were a month old each we started putting a teaspoon of baby cereal in their formula to help fill their belly at bed time and nap time.
It's the best I can tell you. It worked for me.
You might need to see a specailist Joe, if you're not feeling any better. Didn't you say you have asthma as well? Plus if the lymph nodes are still swollen, it could be mono. The glands still swollen and feeling tired all the time are symptoms. But I'm not a doctor. But I play nurse once in a while.

Luv to all,
I'll catch up with you later.
Hi Christine, love you
Hi Syn love you too!

Chippers

Happy Birthday, Laura!

Hope it isn't as horrible as you were thinking it would be! (Honestly, 25 was a LOT harder than 30 for me!)

Joe... Hope you are feeling better.

/hugs to Millie and Joshua... teething is yucky!

It's really cold out. I want to go back to bed and hibernate until this winter thing is over.

Giggle thank you I'm sat here trying to wake up and listening to my yucky daughter grind her teeth aaaaaarrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh

OK, I don't smoke but I have heard from several workmates, that getting an ear staple works for a lot of people! I know it sounds painful but everyone that has had it done says its no worse than getting your ears pearced. Ask your local doctors and acupuncturists where you can get it done. They make them for losing weight and for quiting smoking. I have done the research on this and it seems 50/50 on the results. Hope this helps you and hang in there!

Brittany

Interesting input there Brittany thank you but I don't even have my ears pierced because it scares the wits out of me so I'm not sure I could go have a staple there either, kind of mad I know but having my ears done scares me more than giving birth did shudder...

Okay, this is a station break for the ex-smokers who are fighting the good fight.
No more dirty ashtrays OR ashtray breath---yeaaaaaaaaaaa!

Keep up the good progress!

Breathe! Breathe! Breathe!

LOL Val :) Thanks, will add that to my list of reasons :)

Where oh Where have my girls gone (and Joe) oh where oh where can they be.

Lots of love and hugs.

Believe it or not, they made me WORK at work!

Isn't that HORRIBLE??

LOl my Synnen... I've missed you!

You need to fire that boss. Something just not right there :)

LOL I'm sat here doing my zombie impression dear madam has been a horror of horrors the last two days

Hope everyone's OK xx

I'm okay Laura.

How was your birthday. Been thinking about you :)

Madam is never a horror! You must be exaggerating!

(having spent some time with my 3 year old niece recently... you 're not kidding... I know you're not. But that face is so CUTE, I can't imagine her being a minx)

She really is too cute Laura. Hee hee. Way too cute

Don't be fooled by that exterior lol she is suffering greatly with these big back teeth and neither me or ben slept at all last night some what tierd shall we say lol
My birthday was quiet and uneventfull but lovely just the same :D

There the best kind of birthdays :)

Poor thing with the back teeth. What do you put on them if anything? Must hurt like crazy.
What does she do? Does she cry with it?
