well its been a long time we've been very busy! To start with the yucky stuff...Mike and i are no longer together we split about 5 months ago so its just me and the girls again which is fine...relationships just aren't my strong point but hey ho :)
Now thats said we'll move on to my lovely girls, Hannah is growing up fast and is doing great and school and is a joy (usually) at home. She has move up to top set in maths which has boosted her convidence at school greatly! Shes also turning in to a good little gymnast, she was moved to a higher group there as well and she now does 3 hours a week which she loves..luckely Daddy pays for that now as lucy's clubs are expensive so its now shared...thatk god!
Lucy is doing well she is making slow progress,They think the reasons for her not being able to learn to read and right are due to 'centeral auditory prossesing disorder' very long winded but basiacally what she hears and what is prossesed in her brain ane two different thing theres a lot more to it but now we have an idea what the reasons for not learning are we can help her so its all good! other than that she is still a very happy lovey little girl,and very popular..shes loved by all that meet her. she has just lost her front tooth and looks extreamly cute! As you can see and the pic lucy has a rat in her hands, that is smoky grey head, lucys best friend, it is the tamest rat i've ever known..it follows her round the house even up and down the stairs..shes gonna make a great rat trainer!! shame she can't train it to poo in its cage but that may be asking a little much though.
Lastly we have little amy..or not so little shes nearly as big as Lucy...but then again Lucy not very big bless her. Amy is 2 and a half now shes talking like shes 4! i've been have propper conversations with her since before she turned 2, shes got a mass of (what people call) strawberry blond hair that just seem to get bigger and curlier by the day! she loves the night garden and pepper pig..drives me nuts! and shes desperate to go to nursery but shes my last child...really i mean it this time! but i just want to hold on to her for a little longer but shes growing up sooo fast!
So there u have it my happy home full of girls...pink pink pink all the way xx

Amy

2006-12-01T17:43:28Z

I have figured out how to be on the computer..upstairs and keep Amy happy at the same time....

she just loves to talk to her reflection...awww

house ect...

2006-11-28T14:56:19Z

ok not a very good pic but this is my living room, its my favorite part of the house, past the arch is the dining area...i'll post a pic of that when it looks less like a washing pile..(lots of sicky cloths, now clean but not put away yet)

In other news..Amy is still ill, she had the pedeatrion last tuesday who more or less confermed epalepsy and put her on medication which we have had to stop untill she is better because she keeps throwing it up! so we haven't been able to do the correct doses as yet. She was also put on antibiotics which i have also had to knock on the head because she can't keep them down, so it just calpole and salbutimol liquid we have to keep down her now and hopefully she'll pick up soon! Any way sorry its such a quick up date, got to do the school run now.

any more bad luck???/

2006-11-16T16:10:33Z

Sorry i haven't ben about, things have been a bit crazy round here...Lucy was sick on saterday so i kept her off of school on Monday to recover, well she was as bright as a button! so me and my sister went to visit my nan and one of the doctors asked if Lucy could have a sweet 'yep fine whatever' Half an hour later we realised that she was having an ellergic reaction to a hazle nut (we think) in the middle of the chocolate! great! so we ended up in hospital!
Shes alot beter now and she is going for allergy testing on the 11 of December.
Tuesday morning Mikes bike got stolen so he needs the car so i'm car less and he probably wont get a replacement for 4 weeks...GREAT!!!! and amy has been ill and is up all night..I'm hoping thats the 3 things now and things will get better soon.
I'm hoping to get round to posting pics of the new house tomorrow, lets just see how it goes.

I'm back!!!

2006-11-09T18:13:21Z

hi just to say that i'm back and highly stressed...every thing with the other house went tits up and i'll be glad to be rid of it!!!! in the past three weeks we have been on holiday and moved house and i have not had five minutes to do anything at all, i will post some pics and stuff soon, and i'll try and catch up on some post.
The house is lovely and i'm never moving again! Girls have settled really well, Amy cut 2 teeth and then got an ear infection so we haven't had much sleep at all and now it looks like she has chicken pox, so i've decided to kiss sleep and my bed good bye and say hello to the sofa where i'll probably going to be sleeping till shes better.
Sorry its so quick i will give you a proper update when i have a bit more time.

2006-10-20T06:24:33Z

I Haven't had time to even turn the computer on the last few days...well either to busy or just too bloody tired! I'm suffering with a bit of insomnier and when i do manage to get to sleep one of the kids get me up! Hannah got up at 4am, waking Lucy! Hannah was then in and out of bed untill 5.30 when i let her get in with me! little sod. Amy is now sleeping better then the older two are!
Hannah woke up with another tummy ache on tuesday, she has been saying it for a while and i just thought it was because she didn't want to go to school but i took her to the docs just incase, shes a bit concerned about how much she poo's...she goes around 3 times a day! as for the pain, she had to do a wee sample...she found weeing in a pot very funny by the way! just to check that she hasn't got a water infection, and she wanted her to go for a blood test to check her iron ect, she thinks it may be something to do with absorption? what ever that is. Any way Hannah kicked up when they said blood test and completely refused so we are going to give her a couple of weeks and if she is still getting the pain then she will be revered to the pediatrion...they might have more luck with the blood test.
Parents evening......went well, Lucy has settled really well now and has learned to count to 4!!!! Her teacher said that she loves the way she is drwn towards animal books ect, she said that she was not naughty just inquizitive, she also said that actually shes quite adorable! Hannah has been a little behind with her reading and spelling but has recently made a bit of a break through with sounding her words out, and she still lacks confidence, she hates getting thing wrong!
Thats about it for now i think!

Amy

2006-10-12T13:33:45Z

Amy has started to wheeze so i'm waiting for a phone call from the doc to see if he can fit her in today. At six months old what can you give them for a cough? nothing as far as i know, other than calpole which is not really going to help her cough..poor baby.
Lucy....even though she is being a little sod at the moment she did make me laugh the other day, i kept meaning to post it but have only just remembered....Mike swore the other day and usually Lucy would tell him off by saying 'thats a naughty word!' but this time she said 'mike thats a square word!' it did make me giggle.
Hannah has been very good probably because she refused to come in the other night and kept running off down the street so after i caught her she was put to bed at 7pm same time as Lucy and she was not impressed, but has been good as gold ever since!

amanda_25 @ 2006-10-12T06:50:00

2006-10-12T06:50:41Z

Amy has caught this nasty cough and cold...just me to go now! she has been coughting and sneezing all night, maybe i should take her to the docs to see if she can have any thing. She is also desperatly trying to crawl, her legs go but she hasn't worked out how to get her top half up yet.....just hope she waits another 3 weeks till we move!
Lucy seems to be getting over the tiredness shes sleeping alot better..well she has for the last 2 nights any way! but shes being a bit naughty at school now, shes had to stand out side Mrs Bakers office twice now for climing on the fire extinguisher, she got told off yesterday for running away from the dinner lady, and she has been fighting! yes my little girl fights! she has been fighting with a little boy- Marcus who she says is her boy friend, i saw her doing it in the line at the end of school yesterday...this little boy was saying 'no' and lucy was shouting at him and they where pushing each other, the little boy then dropped his book bag and letters so lucy stood there saying 'ha ha, ha ha, ha' little sod, I really don't know what to do with her!

Just a quick update

2006-10-11T07:10:13Z

I have a stinking head ache! Mike snores..bless him and i don't like to keep prodding him but as well as the kids keeping me awake Mike now is too! not his fault i know but its DOING MY HEAD IN!
Lucy is really struggling with school, she is so tired, so much so that her teacher called me over yestarday to suggest she goes back to half days untill christmas, they don't usually recomend it but in her case they would allow it. I don't know what to do, she is already behind and this could put her back even more. She has not been sleeping very well since she started, so i had a chat with her last night and said if she stays in her bed all night then she would get a special treat and she did, she was in bed asleep by 7 last night and didn't get up till 6.50 thismorning so hopefully if she does that for a few more nights she might be ok.
Every one else is fine, Hannah is her usuall self and Amy has learnt to wave, its very cute! Speaking of Amy i really should go and wake her up before we are Late for school...again!

2006-10-02T13:20:32Z

Well that was an ok weekend, we when up to leicester and it actually went quite well, Mikes mum was fairly calm and did not shout quite as much as she usually does! We went to his sisters for dinner on sunday, we had a very lovey started (cant remeber what it was called) followed by ti red curry and home made apple and and blackberry stroodle...it was lovely! Mike has strained his neck so i said that he may as well have some wine and i'd drive home, so he did and got rather drunk and fell asleep in the car! It usually takes us 2 hours on a good run but the traffic was horrendous and it took 4 bloody hours to get home!

Lucy's ashtma is still bad so i've kept her off school today, and it was suppose to be her first full day at school, we'll see how she goes tomorrow.

And another thing.....

2006-09-29T06:36:53Z

Lucy's school insisted that she needed to take her inhaler in to school just incase, so i said ok but she very rarely needs it, its been months, the doctor did say she could be growing out of it! and what happens, she needs it! I've but her back on her becotide to try and prevent an attack but her ventalin is at school! so i've got to get to the doctors as well today to sort another one out.....I really should stop tempting fate by saying things like 'she very rarly needs it, infact i think shes grown out of it'

sleep

2006-09-29T06:20:18Z

Yet again i find my self moaning about sleep! Amy had her bed time bottle at 8.45 last night, i usually wake her at ten but she had other ideas last night! so because she had it early she woke up at 3.30 sceaming for another, then mikes bloody snoring kept me awake for a while, then when mike got up for work at 5am Hannah got in bed with me because of bad dreams....bless her and the lucy was up at 6 needing a wee! so its not the best start to the day. We are also up in Leicster this weekend, I still Haven't spoke to his mother yet so since we fell out so I'm not really looking forward to this at all. Any way its just a quick post/moan, got loads to do today, my sister is coming down and i've got to go and do my cleaning and take treacle to the kennals ect...fun fun fun!

ALLS WELL!!!

2006-09-26T13:10:34Z

Lucy's first week at school went pretty well, she has just got back, she is in from 8.50-1.30 this week and next week she starts full time....slightly scared about that! She seems to be doing ok, she got very upset yesterday because she didn't want to leave her p.e bag in school because she had new plimsolls! and Hannah reported back that she got told off in the food hall for laying on the bench instead of sitting there and eating....they'll come to realize that Lucy really doesn't like sitting still! Any way today seems to have been alot better, she said that she had fun and her lunch has been eaten so all seems well.

Amy is doing really well too, she went to bed at 7.30 last night, fed at 10.30 and took 8oz...best yet and then got up at 7 this morning...lovely. We got her hospital appointment though it on 31st October..halloween! i don't know what they are going to do and apparently she will have to go up to canterbury if they want to do an EEG. She is still having these little shaky fits but they don't last very long, we'll soon find out whats going on.

my baby has started school, she went in very happy. Here she is:)
had to do the bunches!

NASTY MAN!!!

2006-09-16T06:45:27Z

There was a strange man wondering the street the other evening, He pushed a girl of the wall and tried to snatch a little boy! The police where called but as far as i no nothing was done about it. Lucy heard about this and has been a bit concerned since, she keeps asking about the nasty man. Any way we where in the co-op the next day There was a man shouting obscenities to the poor woman behind the counter whilst we where buying a loaf of bread and i ever so slightly flipped o him a bit! Lucy was standing there looking at this man obviously scared and i thought 'i've had enough of this i'm not having people scaring my little girl!' so i just said quite poitly "accuse me do you mind not shouting and swearing infront of my little girl and take it to the back of the shop with the manager" to which he replied "fuck off you slag" charming! so i shouted back "you might like intimidating woman and children but you don't intimidate me now take it to the back of the shop away from my little girl!!!" (all the while cacking my pants) and would you believe it he did! He called me all the names under the sun on his way, but he went! as we left the shop lucy asked me if that nasty man pushed that girl off the wall...bless her, I just told her that all the nasty men have gone now and i won't let anyone hurt her "no mummy you will tell them off"

On a brighter note Amy has been sleeping alot better..Finally! And the other two girls have been fairly well behaved. We Have a date for moving, the 28th of october,Will be so nice having an upstairs bathroom, no more taking lou down stairs at silly o'clock for the toilet! got to go amy is waking.

Things are looking up

2006-09-05T06:54:48Z

feel alot beter now, amy has gone a week with out any shakes....god knows whats going on with her, she has stopped feeding again now though so will get her weighed today to check all is well.
We are moving again! we have been overed a house, no deposit needed and it is big! and it has an upstairs bathroom....yay, no more trips down stairs in the middle of the night with lucy. It also has a conservetory and a utility room, and a down stairs loo, what more could we ask ask for. The other great thing about it is that in a few years time, when finances allow we could possible buy.
Hannah goes back to school tommorrow and shes really looking forward to it, lucy will follow in 2 weeks time...my baby is growing up, she is so not ready yet but who knows school might change her.
Thats all for now.

Amy

2006-08-30T13:49:39Z

So we've been to the doctor and she thinks she may have a mild form of epilepsy, she has been referred back to the pediatrician and will need an EEG to confirm.

So i'm still feeling crap.

FED UP

2006-08-30T07:24:56Z

Ok so i've got a stinking cold, Amy still isn't sleeping and is still having these little shaking episodes, i was told that she could be doing it when she was having a wee...who knows, so we'er off to the doctors today. She has also been refusing her feeds and taking just a couple of ounces...until last night when she nearly drianed 2 bottles! little sod.

Stacey might be coming down today with little jake (have worned them about my cold) which will be nice, but it all depends on how well behaved he was last night. Its almost like revenge..sounds nasty i know, but she finnally understands 1:why the house isn't always tidy and 2:why i'm grumpy and tired most of the time.

Any way i'm afraid thing are not very exiting at the mo i'll post tommorrow with some thing a bit more chirpy.

Auntie again!

2006-08-19T08:39:22Z

My sister in law has done it she gave birth to a baby girl last night at 10pm with no pain relieve!!! we haven't got a name yet, but naomi is over the moon...a girl at last weighing in at 7lb 14oz. will post pic later.

Jake

2006-08-14T07:23:57Z

Well i saw my little nephew yesterday, he is so tiny, he made amy look HUGE! He is very bruised on his head from being pulled out and Stacey is very sore and saying that she will NEVER do it again! and i believe her. Any way here is my new nephew.

amanda_25 @ 2006-08-13T06:34:00

2006-08-13T05:39:32Z

So we went to this party last night and got very very drunk! my sister has had niggly pains all day and at 11 last night her contractions where coming thick and fast and they went to hospital, paul rang at about 1 this morning and she was 4cm dilated!!! I'm so exited, and i didn't know i would feel this worried, i have only had 3 hours, at most, sleep, i just want to know her and baby are ok......keep you posted.

amanda_25 @ 2006-08-05T11:17:00

2006-08-05T10:20:59Z

My baby is growing up, i can't believe she has just had her 6th birthday. We did her a little party and she was very spoiled all day, which showed near the evening because she started to behave like a proper madam! any way heres my birthday girl.
beatiful isn't she!

MY TOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2006-07-22T08:47:07Z

Lucy decided to run out of the front door and down the street yesterday...little bugger! so as i went to run after her i stubbed my little toe on the hoover, hopped around for a second and then carried on chasing her, when i looked down at my toe i was a bit shocked to see that my toe was sitting at a very strange 45 degree angel to my foot! oh dear, so i sent a photo to my mum and said what should i do? i was going to strap it in to the right position and hope for the best but mum said 'go to the hospital and i'll meet you there' GREAT thats ruined my friday night!
At the hospital i was seen quite quickly the doctor took one look and said 'I'm going to have to pop that back in, its deffinatly dislocated and i exspect its broken too!'so theres my crying..thank god my mum was there i'm a bit needle phobic and this was going to take 2 injections of local anithetic before being popped back into place, that was done then i hobbled down to x-ray, that showed a deffinate break and i have to keep it strapped up for 4 weeks...looks great in my sandels!
The moral of this story is PUT THE HOOVER AWAY!!
