Richelle-I don't know what happened to me when I had a baby but I have become incredibly neurotic.  Used to be an unorganized teacher and now I am a crazy scheduled mom.  My friends wonder what happened.
Long time ago but... I used to be a first grade teacher and now I tutor about 7 kids a week and mentor new teachers once a week.
Micky-Jackson is so adorable.  Please give him lots of kisses and hugs from all of us and you too of course.  You are doing an amazing job with everything.
Andrea-3 solid meals a day and 4 bf
I am so bummed that I missed all of the sex talking today.  A few months ago I lined a pathway with candles into our little love nest room and introduced a new little/big bedroom outfit :oops: DH was THRILLED.  He hasn't seen much of that lately.  I find to get myself feeling better about the post pregnancy bod is to take a trip to a fun store and buy a little something to wear that I feel comfortable with and is a bit risky. Sorry again for TMI
Here is our meeting up story.
Went to an engagement party for a high school friend and my DH was there because he was in a toddler play group with her as a child.  Not looking for anything, had been broken up with ex for 8 months and still mourning away.  I had the desire to date lousers.(druggies, jailers and secret relationships)Oh my!  So a very tall man walks through the patio doors and I say to my best friend who is 6'1" wow he is good looking and meets your height expectations.  She wasn't impressed with his jeans and navy blazer look and either was I!  Minutes later my friend introduced us and I met his mom and dad and he met my parents.  We chatted for a while and he called a week later.  Went on my first date EVER ( I always met my boyfriends at parties) and we had a blast, lost the car and ended up hitting a few bars in order to make the night last extra long.  I tried to kiss him on the first date but got too nervous and he went to his car laughing.  We dated for 2 years with lots of partying and sex.  THe he broke up with me and I was devasted.  Called him back and he had to come over again and break up with me a second time.  8 months later I wrote him a last try birthday card and didn't get a call.  2 weeks later he called and explained how him and his brother/roommate never go through the mail.  He asked if I wanted to go to coffee and we sat for 4 hours over 1 cup of coffee and lots of cigarettes.  2 dates later we were back together.  6 months later he proposed in a mountain prairie filled with wild irises and surounded by snow capped mountains.  I have to say that he tops the meter for romance all the time and amazes me with his patience with all of my moods. 
So fun to tell it again.  Hope all of you have a wonderful and relaxing weekend with your families.

Bec you are a fool!!  You crack me up!  Next time I am in Newcastle visiting my family there I will let you know - I would love to meet up.

Gosh, so many pages and so many questions since I last posted.  Will try to remember

Christmas present: A friend suggested a home made book with photos and names of loved ones.  I like that idea.  Otherwise I think I'm going to wrap up a box for him.  He's going to get plenty of presents!!

Meeting DH: He was my boss!  Was working in a bookstore while at uni - I was in a long term relationship (yes, with a loser - controlling and emotionally abusive - I was 17/18).  DH was also in a long term relationship of 6 years.  We met, flirted, ditched our partners and the rest is history.  We started dating a little over 10 years ago, moved in together after about 6 months and have been married for 6 years.

To all of you "happily over 30's" - you are making me look forward to my 30th next May!!

Sex drive: has been low for years.  Was like a rabbit when I first met DH but hey, I was 19!  His drive is also low.  I think I win on frequency though - we have only had sex once since DS arrived.  Hey, that's bad!  All this talk makes me think I need to discuss with DH.  Thanks for the prompter guys.

Job: I work in Industrial Relations for an employer association, providing employement law advice to employers.  I used to really enjoy it - it's hard and challenging work.  Particularly now being sleep deprived and with mummy brain though - for now I am just trying to keep my head above water.  But I'm sure I will get back to enjoying it more.  Perhaps when I can get some sleep.

Traci: big hugs re the Dad thing.  My Dad is also an alcoholic and my brother is an alcoholic and drug addict.  I live away from my father and although I'm not there to see it I know he is not looking after himself and in fact I know he hopes that his life does not last much longer.  The saddest thing about it though is I have an 8 year old sister, his youngest child, who I believe he is completely disrepecting by acting the way he does.  However, it is his illness, his addiction, and although I have tried to talk to him about it, my mother and step mother before me, none of us have succeeded and none of us will.  I have given up on him a long time ago.  But big hugs to you.  I know how hard it is.

Much love to all - hope your weekend is going swimmingly!  We took Fraser to the beach today, he really loved it.  Here's hoping he's tired enough to actually give me a good night's sleep (OK, wishful thinking!!)  Here's hoping he's tired enough to only wake twice!!

Bye for now!
Jo

hi ladies, just wanted to pop on and give a quick reply to hannah's q about dh and porn.
He does have a problem with it, In his eyes it was easier to watch it than to come in and bug me when I was massively pg. Fair enough.
But it became a problem when I noticed money dissapearing when it should have gone to bills, I get our cable bill in one month and there were $130 or porn pay per view charges on it, no kidding, I thought rent was paid, and then a month later if ind that the cheque bounced, he had gone and bought $65 of magazines, I have found videos hidden in our linen closet.
This went on for about 2 years I'd say, I let it slide, gave a lecture when it happened, but then when we went to a freind place with the kids for a weekend, he barely came near me. Well at the end of the stay I lost it, when we got home, ALL his clothes were thrown in garbage bags and I threw them out the window.
He was totally miffed at what was going on, I reminded him of all the things that had been going on, plus I told him that him preferring to "watch a skinny chick get it" as my words can be politely put, the how does he think it makes my fat butt feel. NO wonder I had a body image prob if he preferred to watch that!!!
Welll needless to say, he pulled his head out of his butt, we struck a comprimise, he realises what his actions did, and today nov. 19th is our 3yr wedding anniversary, but what is equally important to me is that in february we have been together 5 yrs.
Which brings me to how we met. It was in a bar, I went that night as a guy had said he would buy me all the drinks I wanted, well back in the day that wasn't a hard choice to make. I was sitting there and no joke I looked across the room and saw him, he smiled and something inside told me my life would never be the same, we were friends at first, not for long tho, aftera  couple of weeks, I was once again drunk as a skunk, and looked at my roomie and said " I think I have a crush on andy, but it is andy, I can't have a crush on him!!", so when he turned up that night she told him, and he felt the same and that was it, three days later, in a bar, drinking heavily again, we sat proposing to each other.
So there you have it ladies, the porn and how we met,
just wondering, what are we going to do when the kids are older and we don't need to use this thread, I'd hate to loose contact with you all, maybe we could all email each other or something, pm me your email adress if you like, I am so nervous that I won't have the time to spare to be on here when I start my new job.
Also Andrea, the get together thing sounds like an awesome idea, maybe we could post something in the lounge and see if anyone else wants to meet up, or would you all prefer if it was just us lot.
Well I have had more than my fair share of a post, talk to all you fine ladies later, enjoy your weekends where ever you are.

Naomi-I will share my thoughts on porn later.

Just wanted to say Happy Anniversary.  You share your 3rd one with my parents 45th!  Gosh-don't I feel terrible.  It's likely my parents last "landmark" anniversary together and I didn't realize it was a biggie til my dad told me last night :oops:

You girls are great...even willing to talk about porn!!! Thanks for sharing that Naomi.  Dh would be moritified probably if he knew I was sharing this...but he definately enjoys a little fix now and then...I guess I was just wondering what's "normal" in this arena? 
That's funny Naomi about what we will do when the kids get older...the other day I was thinking...what am I going to do when SOphie is a teenager?  Is there a Teen WHisperer site??  Hee hee.  It's fun to think about keeping in touch.
BTW I have a great CD called For the Kids.  Very cute.  We are listening to The Rainbow Connection (original sung by Kermit the Frog?) sung by Sara McLachlan....Now a song called "I've Got to be Clean" by Guster...great lyrics. ...each day's a fight with the forces of dirt...
Hey this should be my theme song :)
See you later!!!

Happy Anniversary Naomi!

Bec - Halle is adorable!!  I was having a bit of a moment last night with DUseless, not very nice but I hate that I have to do everything sometimes KWIM?  Does everyone thingk that these men do things badly on purpose so as to not have to do anything?  LOL telling DH to go feck*poo**!@!@*wee*other bum!@!@**mess*bitsman bits!@!@breastsbabywhisperer!@!@babywhisperer.comMake payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!removed
    babywhispererforums.com/a--holepenis himself and I do believe that it does count!!

    Judy - I did fall out of my chair reading your post about 1st marriage - thanks for sharing your story!

    Don't have much to say about our newest subject PORN!  What a thread!!  Anywho, porn is illegal on this here god fearing island so not much to say about it.  I suppose there is internet porn and I know DH enjoys, I mean what guy doesn't?  I was actually thinking of buying some in Canada to help spices things up  :oops: !

    Jo - I am 30 in February and am looking forward to it - I think, well that is what I am telling myself anyway! 

    On my way into work - only ONE MORE WEEK!  That is my new mantra!

    hi girls!

    I'm totally up for the group meeting! How fun would that be...especially since at nap time nobody would be offended by anyone having to leave.  :lol:  :roll: And...if someone needed backup for PU/PD you'd have an army waiting to help! :D

    Karen thanks for the tip on the cast "socks". I've looked on the internet and am going to measure Jack's casts once he is up from his nap! :D

    Hannah-Jack will be in his casts until Dec. 19th.  I'm already counting down!  I'm glad they will be off for x-mas as we are flying to California so he can meet his great grandparents and re-meet his aunties.  They are wanting to take him swimming so it works out perfectly as we are leaving on Dec. 21st.

    On the porn issue....I had another loser ex (way too many loser ex's!) that was also addicted to porn and addicted to "treating himself"!! :shock:   He had to have a 'fix' of both at least once a day!

    I'm looking forward to our chat tomorrow.....I can only imagine what is going to be talked about!! :lol:  :D  :shock:

    hey richelle....I have been meaning to ask if you knew my cousin.  He lived in the caymans with his wife for I think 3 years.  He moved back to Canada about a year and a half ago.  They both worked as bartender/waitress.  Their names are Bruce and Sandy Rackette.

    Hello, hello ladies...

    Just wanted to say... I would be right in there with a BW convention!! It would be great to meet all of you. I feel like I know so much about everybody already... you guys know stuff I have never shared with any of my friends!!!

    Naomi... Happy Anniversary!

    Bec... CUTE!!! I love the beanie hat!

    Hannah... who produces the For the Kids CD?

    Porn... haven't seen it, don't want to know about it, hope not to hear about it from DH...

    Unheard of 2 hour nap today!!! We completely screwed up her schedule today... had appointments and such. What ended up happening... she got her morning nap in her sling... no surprise to her, we do this occasionally. Then we kept her up 3 hours 15 min. before putting her down for nap #2. DH put her back down at 1hr 15 min. and she gave us until 2hr 5min. Un-friggin-believable!

    Don't ask about last night though.  :roll:

    Hi Ladies,  just got in from school (on a Saturday!  :evil: ) Had enough time to kiss Sol before he had his nap and was on the computer before DH got out of the bedroom.  I think I have a problem. 8)

    Naomi - Happy Anniversary

    Nutty Bec - Haillie's eyes are so beautiful!

    Hmm porn... had to get over that one quick since every guy i've ever dated has had a relationship with it, including DH.  He did get rid of his "collection" when I was prego.  Which is too bad cause there were a couple of tapes I rather liked.

    Sol took a 2 1/2 hour nap this morning!  Of course when I'm not around to enjoy it.  Why should DU catch all the breaks!

    Ankie - congrats on Arwyn's long nap. I hope it turns into a faze.  Did you get the PM I sent you?

    Okay, I guess it should be quality time.

    not to be a party pooper or nuthin, but I reckon we should save the discussion on porn for the chat. I think it is way too personal of an issue to discuss in this way. I don't mean to be a pooper, but to me it is a touchy subject, I know it is to a lot of people.
    Lets try to keep this about our babes, and we can get down and dirty with it on sunday, which BTW is the social highlight of my weekend, apart from dh and the kids...lol
    So, miss riley has begun to need a longer wind down, no biggie, but this means that she is really y if I try to put her down on her own when I notice that she is ding her "mummu I'm tired" things.
    I just figured out that she needs a grow bag sorta thingy, you know those fleecy sleeping bag things that do up at their shoulders, I have no clue what they are called, anyhew, we had something that would do the same thing, one of those things they put over a fleece all in one. Man am I crap at descriptions or what!!
    That made a difference tonight, but just incase that doesn't work out, is anyone able to maybe do a kinda quick point form of pu/pd. I ask as when I go back to work I will not be the sole care provider for Riley, so I guess if I can get it in a point form then it would be easier for dh and the sitter to read when I am not here.
    k... I think I have reached my quota for the length of my post...lol

    I enjoy the convention idea... Im in!

    I have been having these weird nights with the girls for the past few nights... about an hour after they are put down they wake up (one or the other, last night BOTH at the same time! :shock: ) absolutely screaming! Like blood curdling screams? WTF? Never has this happened before. I will go in, give them their homeopatic teething drops (or if it has been well over 4 hours they may get tylenol) hold them for 2 min (ish)- no rocking talking or walking . They conk right out, and are not up until 630/700am. They are both cutting teeth right now (mais is getting 3, Mak is getting 1). Do you think this may be causing the wake-ups?

    okay another question... do any of you ladies send out christmas cards or pics of your lo's. Especially this year being all of their first chistmas's??
    I am done writing out 22 cards with family and just the girls pics in them... I have 20 left! It friggin took me all day to write them out! Do you really appreciate Christmas cards when you get them? I always wonder if people just chuck the pics in the garbage after a month.. that would break my heart  :cry:

    Well I am going to have a night out with my best friend (whos in town from oregon) .. I think I had better put on my make-up and perhaps get out of my baby-spit-on t-shirt .. that stuff might show up under a black light at the bar  :lol:

    by the way bec- what you said about telling your dh to go f*** himself almost made me pee my pants ( I said almost )..

    Ankie- hope your night is better tonight, sounds like you had a rough one? maybe the long nap is just what she needed and she will sleep like an angel tonight?

    have a great night ladies

    Jody I for one LOVE to get Christmas cards with pics in it.  My fridge is covered with children and family pics from all our friends and family.  And for those friends that don't send them I always request them.  In fact we have so many that I had to start limiting myself to only current shots (rather than keeping every picture ever sent on the fridge!)

    So yes - I say send.  I send pics with our Christmas cards!

    OMG Micky, literaly holy  on a stick!!  I totally know Bruce and Sandy, well Sandy more.  She worked at the golf course and my DH is a golf nut and I also enjoy.  We almost bought their car when they left!!!!  Funniest thing is that DH and I were talking about her the other day (WEIRD!!) b/c the golf course still has not re-opened since Hurricane Ivan, blah de blah and I said it was weird that I hadn't thought of all the people who used to work there and how transient the island/friends are here...

    You will have to tell her when you see her that WOODY and RICHELLE say HI and of course that we now have Sophie - the last time I saw her i probably had a ciggy hanging out of my mouth and a beer in one hand, a tequila in the other and I belive there was some joking around about a threesome or my DH watching her and i kiss? :shock: :oops:  !

    Anywho - what a small world!!

    Ankie - hope this great night turns into a good night!

    Jody - I have no idea but you are probably right that it is their teeth.  Sophie has done this a few times but it has always been one of her appendages stuck in the crib bars! :shock:   

    I hope everyone is having a fab weekend
