Hey Amy, are yall doing outrigger island. Or something similar to that in name. It sounds like it since you sand cut bamboo. That is what we are doing but it isnt til July 21st that we start ours. I'm diong 5th and 6th graders. What age group are you doing? ↑
Gretta, great to see ya back. Are you going to post pics of the new color you kitchen is? .....Irene, when are you going to test? Caden is still eating good but he is difinetly starting to show prefrences towards different types of foods. ↑
I have had the strangest thing happen today. Ill warn ya before you ready futher this is prolly tmi. But today after dh and I had sex I started bleeding. I have never had this happen like this before. I am only on cycle day 24. The sex was not intense or anything that would make me think that is what caused it and I have never ever started my period this early and I've prolly kept up with when I start for around 5 years or so. I had some light cramping yesterday and even went and put it on that website gretta told me about. Today I still have some light cramping to. What the heck is going on. I googled but basically all i found was about std's and Im certain I dont have one of those lol. My body is so goofy. Have any of yall had this happen before. Sorry if this was tmi! ↑
Gretta show the picture of your new painted kitchen.. I love browns and earth color and i bet you the kitchen will look gorgeus... I need to put color to my wals also. But the day is just 24 hrs and it is not enough formy normal shores so paiting at least a room will take a lt time that i don't have. Somebody is coming to my house to clean every 3 weeks ... that helps a lot. I hate to live in a messy place but alexander is puting everything in the floor. My mom is coming tomorrow and that wil help me alot. I have a friend that is moving and she sold me her washer machine and dryer. I am so excited because teh new one is the big huge front load ones. Since my laundry room in in the seconde level next to my room those units will be much quiter than the ones that i have. she gave me those for almos 1/3 of the original value and they are 2 years old... I post some picts from last sunday. take a pick. I am very upsetr with the daycare that alex is going. At the point that i found him another place. the last daycare where vanessa used to go . she stay there for 3 years and i never had a problem. So sty home moms be happy for that .... enjoy your kids.. Well Irene i am waiting to know if you are pregnant... :0-) you must love being mom... i just admire you. i love my kids. i enjoy them but i think i am not made to deal with more thant 2 kids and working fulltime. it is very hard.. I am not complaining, i try to give them quality time at every thing we do. Alexander is very lovely. He is playing and suddenly he comes to me give me a hug and a kiss and then he goes away. that momnets doesn't have values. Now he lays peekaboo (sp?) he hide himself and then scream peekaboo... ↑
Ladies I am very upset! The reason for my early period is the steriod shot I got about 3 weeks ago...sigh....It dawned on me about 2am last nite. About 5 years ago I got one (ts called kenalog or something close to that spelling) I had a period for around 60 days. I am very upset to think about having one that long again plus knowing that we for sure wont beable to get pregnant....sigh....I called and cancelled my trigger point injections for tomorrow b/c they were just going to put more of the same stuff in me. So i pray that the physical therapy works. i feel very upset like I want to cry. I'm sure its my hormones being all goofed up. ↑
Jeez Tara - a period that lasted 60 days!!! Was that from just 1 shot or was it a course like they were planning just now? I mean will that 1 shot give you a period for that length of time again or have you cut it off before it gets that bad? You poor soul ! Had it had any effect on your shoulder? It's no wonder you're upset! hugs to you!! ↑
Zay - I want your mum to come to Scotland - she sounds like a total gem!! Did you sister have her baby a few weeks ago? Was it a boy or a girl? Names? Is this now your other sister?? ↑
Cat - same thing happened to me. We had sex and a few hours later I started bleeding 3 days early so my period came on like day 24. I am also on steriods. ↑
Your kitchen is lovely Gretta! I want your cooker and your fridge though! They are monsters!!!! I want a lot today huh!! Chloe is such a wee doll...she's beautiful! ↑
CAT...no, this year we are doing the Jerusalem vbs...we have transformed the santuary into a synagog and the gym into the Jerusalem marketplace...it is going to be cool. we are taking the kids back to Jesus time. there are 12 "tribes" (classes) but they arnt separated by age..all the ages will be mixed together. they are supposed to be become closer like a family. i am excited, i think it will go well. i will post pics! ↑
CAT...was the sex painfull at all, or have you noticed any pain when you were peeing?? i have had ovarian cysts periodically and sometimes after sex the cyst breaks, and you get a little blood with that...if you do have cysts, you dont ovulate that month, so getting pregnant would be next to impossible! ↑
CAT...oh..i should have read before i posted, sorry...i am also sorry for the disappointment..plus 60 days of bleeding, that is horrible..i will say prayers for you and hope it doesnt last that long!! ↑
Umm, still no AF...I don't really think it's coming....I'm pretty much never late...and I do feel pregnant...the inside of my stomach has that tight feeling....I'll test through the weekend, when dh is here...Duggie says 'what do you need to test for? You've felt that way 6 times, you must know it by now! ' LOL...guess I do at that! ↑
Cat...I hope your AF does not last that long..>I have to say my AF this month is horrible...as far as the PMS goes. It is not very heavy but I am in the worst mood. I am also exhausted. I need energy to get this house in shape...Irene. ..you do sound pregnant. Zaye...I want a cleaning lady. ↑
Irene the time I had it happen before it was from just one shot. I am so upset b/c dh and I talked to the dr that gave me this shot and we told him we did not want anything that would interfere with us ttc. We feel like we are on a countdown and we don't want to miss any months. I only would take meds that were a category B and he assured me this steriod would not do anything to interfer that each steriod is different and this one really did not have any adverse side effects. Well when I looked it up on here that is straight up horse poop. I have been very crabby for the past few days even on monday before I started. My bestfriend called me and Caden was fussing in the truck and dh was telling me to hurry but was just setting there not doing anything to help and I basically shouted at her. " I have to get off here I think I'm going to have a nervous breakdown!!" I called her tuesday morning and apologized and she laughed. We have been friends since 2nd grade so something like that isnt going to make her mad at me for very long haha. I havent told her what was going on yet. I'm sure her and dh will have fun bring up what ever i did last time when I was gripy for 2 months lol. Maybe this time will be different and wont last that long. Another friend said she would wait until it was time for me to start and then finish my regular montly and then maybe call an ob and and tell them what happened and that I am ttc and see if there was something they can give me to counter act it. I think I may do that. ↑
Gretta I really like the color of your kitchen too. I like the earthy colors. I just got done at looking at all the pics and i think that Caden and Chloe look younger than the others. I think they look more like toddlers b/c they have so much hair!! ↑
I was wondering if any of you ladies that have the WII have bought the wii fit board. We were in a game shop and I heard several talking about it tha tit was a lot of fun. I made the comment that I would have to cheat it on the pushups (i barely was able to do the 10 I had to do to make the basketball team back when I was in shape!). They said that you can't cheat it, although I'm certain that a person could figure out a way to! If yall have it do you like it? ↑
I tried to get Matthew to buy it with his birthday money..but he said it was rubbish and bought horrible shooting zombie games instead ( can't believe I gave in and let him have a 15 game - although he was warned if any of the other kids walked in the room he had to switch it off, or it would be gone for a week at a time!) ..But the mums at nursery seem to have it and there is a lot of giggling over it , alongside that it does seem to give you some excercise as well....My sister bought it and loves it...Infact my parents were down there this weekend and my mum has come back saying that my dad should get it - he thought it was brilliant! I can't even get back Mario Galaxy! :-( I must make the time for it! ↑
Jake had his nursery/pre-school assessment this morning...Seems he's super nice and super helpful and super polite and super everything!!!! lol...And super ready for school...Normally over here your child starts school / primary 1 at 5 or if they will be 5 before Feb of the following year - so Jake starts at 4.5...And normally you have a half day for the first month to gradually break them in...I remember they all come home the first month extremely tired and revert to naps...This year they are changing that and they start full days - 9am-2.45pm from day 1....They have a 15min break in the morning and an hour for lunch..Thats going to be really hard for them I think...I feel sorry for the teacher - she'll have kids sleeping at their desks! haha (she actually taught ME in p1 too!) I think I'll have to have him come home for lunch the first week - maybe...maybe not a good idea either - he might not go back..plus he would miss out that 'being shown' everything together...But my kids are all weird - they hate using public/school toilets...Jake always rushes home to the toilet from nursery...(and Matthew does it too still!) (I don't deny it they get that from me, definately NOT from Duggie - if he passes a public toilet he has to use it ..lol) Oh I guess I have the whole summer holidays to think about it! ↑
Hello, girls... Gretta the color of your kitchen is beautifull. I like it. Please ask you ant /f friend for advice in colors becuiase she is really good. I will put somewall decorations with balck on it. Your kitchen looks very good. Alexande was moved to the 18-24 months kids class. The reson for that is his high. They call hin the gentle giant. He now uses the fork to feen himself. I cut bananas and he pinch them and put them in his mouth very easy. I have been playing with him with apuzzle for a week and now he put the puzzle together. The puzzle is 5 shapes, tringle, circleetc.. and is for color so i repeat so much that finaly hi knows what is a circle , and triangle in this puzzle. It is amzing , dd did puzzle around 20 months old. He get out of the truck by himself. In the morningwhen he wakes up he goes to sister room and try to wake her up by taking the balnket off her... He is adorable. I am so in love with him... Chloe pictures are very cute. I love her eyes.. she is beautiful.. ↑
GRETTA...i love the new color...looks much bigger! irene, that isnt fair, no one could be that fertile!! good greif, how do you only have 5? or is it 6? i am so tired right now, i cant even think...we spent the night a church to finish decorating for vbs and we went to bed at 2am(after working all day) and was up at 7am. and now i am working at work until 9pm...ugh! but i thrive on being busy, so i am not complaining! oh, GRETTA..chloe is so beautiful....and your pics are so good! ↑
Gretta I may have asked but I cant remember the answer if i did. What kind of camera do you use? Is it a regular digital or a dslr? I started out haivng a bad day but really it turned out to be not so bad at all. I'm letting Caden stay up til after dh calls on his lunch break. He woke up at 230 last nite and stayed up til 6 am..Little turkey haha Amy you sound super busy. We are only responsible for our room and usually the youth help do whatever is built on stage. So that doesnt put so much on us and I think the youth enjoy it. Since we do ours in july they are getting bored on summer break by then. ↑
this is a little different..if you get a chance check it out on group website..i think it is group dot com. and look at the video for jerusalem vbs...we are doing all the decorating. we had to set up a market place where the kids will be doing i think 12 crafts during the week...a synagog..(sp?) a bakery..i will post pics, it is going to be really cool! ↑
Thanks Girls! I like the new color a lot! I hate my fridge though. The bottom freezer is this huge basket and its a pain to dig food out of there. I wanted dh to swap fridges when we moved but it didn't happen. ↑
Cat - I have a DSLR. Its a Nikon D50 I think. I got a christmas bonus from my company right before CJ was born and I used part or it to buy the camera as my last big purchase as a working person. I am so glad I did. It takes really nice pictures and to me that is priceless. I am not a photographer - its all the cameras doing LOL. ↑
So last night my dh and my brother went out drinking and than came home at 10:30 at night and fired up his Go-Kart he bought that I am making him sell and were running it up and down the street amid all the cheering neighbors sitting on thier front porches so I had to go out and sqaush the rebellion hahaha. I told them both they were being stupid driving a tiny go-kart down our street in the pitch black after they had been drinking so my brother told my dh he wanted to take it home and I guess he did and was driving it down his street with my 12 year old niece at 11 at night. OMG. I am married to a teenager...He told me I was a killjoy. I told him thats fine - I might be a kill joy but he married me and he could have married his friends wife who doesn't like kids and spends her weekends racing cars. Than he wouldn't have a beautiful daughter who shouts out dadeee everytime she sees him. Fair point isn't it. HAAAA ↑
Irene - I think Amy lost track of how many kids you have now! HAAAAA still no one has Jennifer from Isreal beat - I think she was on #7 when her daughter was born. So have you had your AF yet? Oh and thanks girls for saying Chloe is beautiful. I think so too but I am her mother. She is a peanut face for sure! I think all our kids are gorgeous and they just get cuter everyday and evertime I see pictures I am amazed. Remember how little they all were? Aiden was the smallest and look at him now! ↑
