I'm hoping it continues too, been really nice to get up feeling positive about the day ahead instead of just plain stressed. This morning was a bit more normal for me, woke up feeling lethargic and breakfast made me feel sick but by the time we left for school I was feeling better. OH off work today. We're off to sports day in a few mins then got loads of sorting out to do. Jodie had her music concert last night and they started swimming lessons with their new teacher.
I'll write about that later got to go.

Not too bad. Been very very tired the last couple of days, yesterday I fell asleep and almost didn't make it to school in time to pick the kids up I've also been feeling a bit sicky still in the mornings but if I remember rightly morning sickness usually comes back for me around now anyway and it's not too bad to be fair. Mondays swimming was a joke. They have moved the stage 2s back into the really shallow water and cut that section in half to share with the stage 1s. I'm not happy. Both of ours should be moving up into stage 3 at the end of this term and that puts them 3/4 of the way up the pool. Music concert was good. But I stand by what I said about the violin teacher, he badly needs replacing. The stupid old fart wandered in got the little ones to do excatly the same thing as last time and sat them down before most people even noticed they were in the room. His first 2 sets of kids were done in about 4 mins flat. Then the head came in and introduced the evening. The yr 4 drummers were excellent again and yr 5 have started doing brass, they have a very young and with it teacher. To be fair their apability was no better than the yr 1 violinists as they have only just started but the teacher made a performance out of it. The clarentets were good too. Sports day not bad, bit disorganised. Jodie wandered through her races in her usual 'got all the time in the world' speed. lol and Jason came in 2nd with his running. Everyone was saying 'wow look at the kid in yellow he can half go'. OH says he got off to a bad start as well. This morning is Jason's class assembaly so Mum is coming over to watch. She always comes for their assembalies as OH rarely manages to get there in time due to work. Then this afternoon we have to take Jason's bike back to the shop to have the gears checked and tomorrow morning I've got my friend coming round again. On top of all this I still have ebay stuff to wrap and send and the mess in the bedroom is breeding. The fish and rabbit desperatly need cleaning out and I need to find space for the baby stuff that we will have to collect soon.

That sounds like a busy week, good to see things are moving for you. We have a similar problem with finding space for the baby too.
How many more weeks of school have your kids got, our lot have about two I think. S is still at pre school to goes through to end august.
What sort of Rabbit have you got, we have a huge british giant she ways over 11 llbs

1 and 1/2 weeks left and busy ones at that. Next week they have an Oscars night, where all the kids in school get awards. It can be anything from a medal to an engraved trophy for those who have done particularly well. It's a huge event and everyone dresses up and they have the lights and music etc all going. Jodie's outfit has cost us a small fortune but to be fair she only gets this once a year. The rabbit we have is a black and white Dutch, we did have her sister as well who was grey and white but she died a couple of weeks back. We also have 2 indoor cats and a handful of Danio fish. Hubby wants a dog but he will need his own flat for one of them We did have 3 hamsters at one stage but they were a nightmare and not very playful. Personally I prefer the cats. The older one is very small and delicate, she comes and sits with me and Jason if we are upset or ill and the little one is huge and looks like a mini panther but he runs and hides if we have visitors, he's so funny and definatly my baby. I need to find a way of landing in reality, I've decided. OH is getting worked up at how little time we have left to sort things out before school breaks up and then baby arrives but I'm still in my usual little bubble, thinking that I have all the time in the world and it will get done eventually. It drives him nuts but I just can't see into the future in the same way. I'm still partly in denial over the baby. I talk about it and think how I'm going to do stuff etc but without a huge moving bump infront of me I feel like a fraud and as if I'm just dreaming of 'what if'. The meds seem to be working ok. I'm getting up alot better although feeling sicky for a short while and come 2 pm I'm shattered. I've also got acid reflux now so the pregnancy syptoms are definatly there. I've also noticed how I seem to be able to just do things as opposed to having to think about it and plan what I'm going to do and when. It's stupid but things as simple as just noticing something thats in the wrong place and picking it up are more natural now and I'm finding I'm happier in a tidy enviroment. Silly things like that should have always been part of me but wern't. Think I am going to have to set myself a target though to get some of this stuff done.

Boy these meds are good I've been up since 6am, spent some quality time with my son, had a lesurely cup a tea, put a load of washing on (which is almost finished), sorted out about 5/6 loads of clean washing, woke my daughter up without a 'we're running late panic' and am now having breakfast. The best part of it all is it's only 7.30 now and I'm usually still in bed ;D Mind you I thought I'd done a hell of a lot of ironing in the past 2 days but the new pile is horrendous. OH did the wasshing up last night, which I had to admit did aggrivate me at the time because it made it seem like I was incapable of doing it in the morning like I always do but to be fair it was nice to get up to a clean kitchen and it's one less thing to have to tackle this morning. Have to try and get into the habit of that one. Still got the hoovering to do and a load of ebay stuff to pack and got my friend coming over this morning too so that will probably be it for today. Might get some of the ironing done this afternoon, maybe.

Oh so do I hun, mind you I now seem to be getting up earlier and earlier each day and thats just not funny. I was up at 4am this morning I woke in the night with my first bit of cramp (had forgotten about this pregnancy symptom), then got up at 4am. Hubby went off to work and by 6am I decided I was going back to bed come hell or high water. Think I must have dropped straight off into quite a deep sleep, I vaguely remember Jodie coming and sitting on my bed with her tray and drawing stuff then asking if she could trace my tattoo. Next thing I know I woke up to find her sitting on my bum colouring it in (the real one not the picture) lol She did a pritty good job of it too Anyway I think my recent few days of dashing about have caught up with me. I have been getting to 2-3pm and almost passing out due to being so tired and today I just couldn't get going. I was due to meet a friend in Cassiobury park in the morning, which I did manage and the kids had a good play, went in paddling pools, bouncy castle had ice-cream etc but the time really dragged. It wasn't til we got home that I realised I'd been smoothering the kids in suntan lotion and forgetting about myself. Am now everso slightly burnt and multicoloured. Spent the rest of the day laying on the bed with the fan on me. It's still far too hot here.

Hate the cramp, I find bending my toes up the moment it starts stops it, otherswise it is excruciating. I have just started drinking gaviscon from the bottle.
Sounds like you are having a great time at the moment, except for being tired, but everyone gets tired at this stage so dont let it worry you.
What are you doing today

Another busy week ahead and I'm shattered already. This is the kids last full week at school, so all the fun stuff is coming out now, like what teacher they have next year and the changes for Jason moving from Infants to Juniors etc. The most recent change which seems to be concerning alot of people is that the school are messing about with the classes this year. At the moment both of mine are in a 2 form year so they have 2 classes in yr 1 and 2 classes in yr 2. However the higher part of the school doesn't have quite so many kids as it was originally just 1 class per year group so. When Jason moves up to yr 3 they are going to be split and mixed with yr 4 who are also going to be split and mixed with yr 5. Giving classes of yr3, yr3/4, yr4/5 then yr5 and yr6. There was a meeting about it last night with the head. Personally I'm not too concerned about it as the kids are being put into ability classes as opposed to age related groups, this is how I have always taught but I think alot of the parents will kick off about it. Mind you only 4 families turned up to the meeting so it's their loss. Jodie's yr is staying as 2 classes of the smae age group but they are mixing them to even things out. This should be interesting to see who she ends up with as she can be very easily led and I would like her split from her bossom buddy which I think has happened. They get to meet their teachers today so we will know more this evening. This afternoon is a dads family fun with the juniors and because I'm involved with the company that run them I have managed to get a space on there for hubby and Jason but hubby's not all that well again. His blood results came back clear which we were hoping they wouldn't so now we don't know whats wrong with him and he's having a hard time of it again at the moment. So if he's not up to it I can go instead. Then I have to take the kids to my parents this evening so mum can take up Jason's trousers for Oscars night which is this Thursday and tomorrow is non-uniform day and Jason has a docs appointment. Then Friday should see their reports coming home and Saturday is a local fun day and police open day. On top of all this we need to do a couple of dump runs to get the garden sorted and there is still loads to do at home. It's still very hot here but has been raining for the last 2 days which isn't helping much. Tabs seem to be working ok but I've come back down from my high pity I was enjoying that.

You do sound busy! Delgate as much as you can!
Even though you have tonnes on you don't sound full of despair as before - maybe you've come down from the high but I get the impression you feel ok? Tha'ts the main thing.
Poor oh - can he see the dr who sent him for the blood tests? She seemed quite switched on and even if she doesn't have any other ideas she can refer him to a specialist. it's so frustrating when clearly somethng isn't ok but you cant' get to the bottom of it. Take care

Whoah life in your house never stops, sorry you have come off your high, but sounds like things are still more positive. I dont know how you do it I struggle to function for many hours a day with this baby - can you send some mojo down the line to me.
What is wrong with your OH, the majority of things in medicine dont show anything wrong on the blood tests?
What things are going on for you over the next few days?
