Kidzoooooooooooooooo

Hey all,
Took my lovely son to Kidzoo (Its like a few separate playground areas divided for different aged kids, theres also food available and coffees and stuff) for lunch today with some other mums. Lynda came with Chelsea(4 months), Laurel and Xanthe (18 months I think!), Helga and her son (5 months), June (16 months) and her mum, Kristen and Hannah. (sorry can't remember all their names!)
I took Greggles for a slide down the slipperydip twice... he didn't really like being up the top of the tower very much! He also got to have a turn on the see-saw with Chelsea. Chelsea really enjoyed it! I've never seen her smile and giggle so much.
I can't wait to go again. It was just good to have some other mums around to talk to. We were able to chat about some 'mum' issues and just relax a little.
I also took Greggie on the mini roller-coaster. He really liked that. I'd like to take Paul there one morning (when its not school holidays!) and let him have a play with Gregory on the equipment.

Lynda, Chelsea, Gregory and I also went shopping after Kidzoo. This is Gregory being so cheeky while I looked after Chelsea and him while Lynda went and bought some choccie *yayayay*. The other pic is Chelsea - she seems to be quite pleased with her new toy. A butterfly rattle - it's not even out of the packet yet!!

Paul is home from Coona although I won't see much of him this w/e as he is heading to a LAN, so I'm going to go to a Bonfire tomorrow night in Narromine. I'm not sure who else will be there but Graham and Lynda are going to bring Chelsea :o)... That reminds me... I should get some marshmallows!!! Pam is going to come for the drive with me but spend some time with some of her friends in Narromine but be able to keep me awake or drive me home depending on how tired I am.



Speaking of tired... I'm off to bed ... considering last night was late! (after 1:30 Mr Gregory is WAAAAAAAAAAY too late!)
*hugs*

You know what thought did....

Well life has been busy to say the least. I can't remember when I had time to myself for more than 10 minute intervals. The day will come when I don't know what to do with myself as I'm so used to having something to do.
I had a lovely surprise this morning..... besides watching Australia draw 2-2 with Croatia in the World Cup and go through to the next round.... My hubby had gotten up early for work as he saw no point in going back to bed after the Socceroo match,.... and he's done the folding for me :o) It sent goosebumps through me!

Anyhow - Greggles is up again - I must settle him then head to bed.


BTW - Thought - he stuck a feather in the ground and wondered why he didn't grow a chicken...

Oops...

Yeh, time seems to disappear! It has been a while since my last post.

I've been really enjoying having my hubby back in town and making the most of lunchtimes with him! Sounds like they want to send him back away next week... we'll see.... :o/

Also my little Gregory has cut his first tooth .... and a second one has just cut yesterday. *sniff sniff* hes all growing up and stuff!! argh!

Not happy about the weekend...... our car was broken into - no damage and nothing taken, only that we had an alarm that scared them off I think. I've since heard that at least 7 cars were stolen on the w/e and 3 more from Parkes. It makes me mad that we work so hard for things and others just come along and take it. Pfttttt to them.

Theres not much else to report at the moment. My niece Makayla is still up at the hospital but growing stronger everyday. They'll let her come home when she takes a full day of bottles, but she seems to be starting to get the hang of it. I haven't seen her in what seems to be forever!

I'm working tomorrow - so YAYAYYAYAY, Anyhow - housework calling :o/

Just for your information....

On The 4th of may, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning,the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06

Ok... well that was interesting....

It's been a while - ahh well - make up for it now :oP

Its now been over a week *gasp!* since my last blog. The reason being that I have been so busy as Paul has been away *still*. He has gone again today too *not happy Jan!* Not only this, but Gregory had not been sleeping through the night at all. He was waking a minimum of 4 times per night - that was a good night (ie from 11:30pm - 7am) Some nights it was more than once/hour... so most of my days were spent trying to catch up on sleep.

Of the week that went by I remember a few things...

Went to Playgroup on Tuesday - which I must say I usually come home feeling refreshed but I didn't this time. I got to Lyndas and just cried... I'll leave the rest of that to the past.
I know that I looked after Chelsea on Tuedsay and Wednesday - She brightens my day - as Lynda worked. It's usually ok looking after both Gregory & Chelsea - they usually both don't need attention at the same time.... but when they do it can be fun!! (well ... fun probably isnt the most accurate word to use!)

All I remember of Wednesday was going & visiting Megan at the hospital. (Megs is Pauls sister). Her bub was due early July and was having a few problems with high blood pressure and a few other things. I think we cheered her up :o)

Thursday was a blur - I think I skipped Thursday last week?

I know I worked on Friday *yay* and I was lucky as I got to have 5th period off (straight after lunch) and I got to come home for lunch (ie i got a LONG lunch hour :o) Lucky that I did have a long lunch time as Greggie didn't like what I was wearing.... yes I had to go home & change. grrr. As long as Greggles was ok thats all that mattered to me. After school I took Gregory down to the Midwives drop-in clinic to see if they could help with the sleeplessness, the 'formula problem' and how to feed him solids. Armed with the information they gave me (hrmph) I spoke to Lynda when I got home - I got more practical help from Lynda! - We fed Gregory some solids, wrapped him & he only woke 3 times that night! I had dinner with Grum n Lynda - I feel like I really owe them heaps as they've looked after me lots!

My cousins Jillian and Penny and Pennys hubby Scott were in town so on Saturday morning we caught up with them at Gran & Poppas house for morning tea. There was quite a crowd :o) as we don't get to see them often. It was great to catch up with them. I do hope to be in closer contact with them both.
In the afternoon, both Chelsea and Gregory were sleeping at Grum n Lyndas... so Lynda and I thought we'd leave them with Grum while we went shopping (printing photos out for scrapbooking). Grum coped quite well even though both bubs were screaming blue murder when we walked in the door! Poor Grum. lol!
Paul was due home Saturday nite (probably for dinner) but I knew that he wouldn't be. He finally got home around 9:30pm. After he finally got some dinner we got to have some time together. I miss him so much when he's not around.

Sunday was V8 day..... Lynda was working so Grum and Chelsea came here while 'we' watched the races. While I went to pick Lynda up from work, Paulie got a phonecall from his sister. I got home & Paul told me the news.... I'm an AUNTY AGAIN!! yay :o) Megan & Michael had a baby girl. Megs will be in hospital for at least 10 days and bub will be in for at least 2 weeks. Congratulations to you guys! :o)


Anyhow - with Gregory now being 'force-fed' (hehehe) his solids via special means, and being wrapped for sleeptime, I've managed to sleep really well over the weekend. I think it also had something to do with Paulie being home too.
Last night, Gregory stirred once, I left him for a few minutes & he managed to settle himself. I didn't hear him again until 10ish this morning :o) (I did get up to check him once or twice! - ok a few more times...)
After a feed, change, solids and feed he was out to it again! Tired bubby!

Now that I have that off my chest (Happy now Val? :oP) I'm gunna go & organise the house a little.... (ok.. a LOT...) while I can....

Hi to Jon in NewZealand!!

(Oh, I will post piccies of Megan & Michaels bub when I can)
