Hehe - so that got you curious! Its not really all that interesting im afraid - I am so sad of coming on here every day with 2 whole new posts to read since the day before.. What else am I supposed to do on my morning tea breaks?
So my interesting parts of the day so far are; I went and picked up DD from daycare just before, it was the carers birthday and she had done a HUGE poo for her to have to clean up She said to me "thanks for the gift you got me, but **s gift was not all that appreciated! :) This morning I worked and was really busy, I really love my work I am getting SERIOUSLY EXCITED about christmas this year and brought way too many presents (just small ones) over the weekend for DD (im sure shell love the wrapping way way way more than the gift )..
So - what have you done today that has been interesting? C'mon girls - give me some goodies to read tomorrow morning at my tea break

Hahaha! Awesome
Honestly? The best part of my day so far is that my SIL has taken Jacob for a walk to the park, so I can make frantic dashes to the loo in peace (damn tummy bug) and not have the little man 'supervising'

I've done nothing interesting today - I'm at work and not super motivated.
It was baking monday though so we ate loads of pumpkin pie from our american colleagues and lemon meringue pie. I think most of the office is in a sugar induced coma.

Ohh yum Pumpkin Pie! One of my American classmates made that last year - was delicious Funny how we use it as savoury and they see it as sweet :)
Hehe Hopes - the wee guy "supervising".. our wee kiddies will be horrified at the stories we tell them when theyre older Its these kinda things we should be writing down for the 21st birthdays... Ohh that could be another topic!

Ummm can't say I've done much that others would find interesting, just been organising lots of work things (xmas BBQ, dinner the team won for our general awesomeness , farewell/welcome morning teas, volunteering at the Zoo, birthday clebrations).

lol - re the supervising if learning is done by observation TT will be easy when we get to it.
We had Playcentre photos today and despite not having any of the messy play areas set up DD still managed to get dirty and wet - a complete change of clothes and managed to get her photo taken.
She's now been asleep for the last couple of hours, lucky DH is on night shift and I don't mind if she has a late night.

The company gives each of it's employees 1 paid day off a year to do some form of volunteering. Our team chose to help out at Hamilton Zoo, so we'll be weeding and mulching. Last year the team got to meet the ring tailed lemurs
Ooh good luck with the BT & short story Delli!

Hehe, just the "normal" sci fi stuff Isabella - this story is set in an alien prison on another planet, the main character is human though...
(A little bit of background - In my "spare time" (hah ) I fancy myself as a bit of a writer. I write and submit stories to professional paying science fiction and fantasy magazines... )

I spent 2 hours redrafting calves and putting them back in the right paddocks and then repairing the gates. I cannot wait to get rid of the destructive bull I have at the moment - the cows have 2 more weeks to get pregnant then he's out of here!
other than that, my wee girl is having a growth spurt so I've done a LOT of BF!
good luck with the test delli, hope you feel better soon hopes

Haha, this thread is making me glad my toilet is on the other side of the baby-gate!
My interesting part of the day was secretly buying DH the present he has been lusting after all year! He is going to be SHOCKED!
It's the shark, lol
http://airswimmers.com/
It's a massive helium inflated flying remote control shark!! God only knows if he'll ever use it, but the man is so hard to buy for I was stoked when it went on sale!

I was totally going to buy the shark for DH too...but then he kinda dissed it when we saw it on tv! :(
Today DS decided to be an angel and instead of making the most of it, I used to to stay in my pjs until just before DH came home (so he wouldn't think i'd been in my pjs all day) and make a large dent in my current read.
DS also started to do the indian cry...so adorable!
oh and with the supervising...I not only get DS checking in but our little puppy!

OMG. I have never heard of these before. I think I need one. Just imagine the fun you could have. Imagine taking it to preschool, and watching the kids freak out! Or to a rest home! Or to a party where someone was on drugs! Or the supermarket! In fact, I don't believe there are many places where these could not go.

Those sharks are awesome!!
Not a good day here today - just waiting for DH to find out the details of his christmas redundancy. Great timing with me on maternity leave and all.
DD and I baked the most delicious boysenberry muffins this morning, but I fear I've eaten too many of them already.
It's raining again. I am so sick of rain. And I have so much washing to do. How do babies make so much washing?!
Sethsmama, what is the indian cry?

when they make a noise and move their hand over their mouth to make the noise change...hmm its hard to describe.
I guess its just that it reminds me of when we played indians when we were kids and we would run around making that noise!

Oh, I know what you mean! Jacob learnt to do that recently... very cute - for a while!
My day today is very much as (non!) interesting as yesterday was, but much more enjoyable. I'm off work (due to aforementioned tummy bug) but am starting to feel better, and having Jacob in creche and a day to get better is doing me a world of good.

Ohhh interesting... nah I'm not interesting at all! I did make cookie dough and have managed to burn one batch in the oven the first are great! lol I can't be bothered cooking anymore though so the dough is still in the bowl lol.
Went to the gym felt lazy and tired so did a half ass work out.
Yesterday was however interesting!
DP was helping friends move. We had to swap cars so he could take the wagon and he had managed to release all the air out of the back wheel on the skyline so I had to pump it up it was at 7psi! Lucky I only drove to Sylvia Park and have to get DD out of the back passenger side where the tire was. So went out west to see where the guys were with the moving. They pull up in the truck and its TINY so small and an auto so you know its not a big truck because its not even a manual. Then our friend was driving the truck and my car was parked on the side of the road and he managed to hit the side of the car with the truck and smashed the rear indicator. So we've ended up forking out $400 as they had no money to pay for it. Dropped DD off at a friends for a few hours so I could get stuff for the bbq we were going to and then got lost going to our other friends house and DP was no help wouldn't tell me where the house was dork!

Thanks ladies - we'll get by one way or another. I'm ever so glad we have a redundancy policy in our life insurance so the mortgage is paid for 6 months! And on the plus side, DH gets to spend some time at home with us
Today's discovery is that it's possible to drive the quad bike, pour 25kg sacks of grain into calf troughs and then feed the chooks and collect the eggs, all whilst breastfeeding one handed and keeping tabs on the tired cranky toddler
