Melissa in Australia Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 one of those frustrating muddly days where everything seem to not work and the house gets messier instead of cleaner. :rant: Just to top it off the twins case manager rang and informed me that I have to travel down to Melbourne in 3 weeks for an access visit. Why they couldn't have organized that for while I was in Melbourne last week is beyond me. Do they realize I am over 400 km away from there and the agreement was that the parents would have to put forth some effort and met half way, they seem to have completely forgotten that point. Do they have any idea how difficult it is to travel around on public transport with 3 year old twins who are only just walking ... and have public transport that can not fit a twin pram so I have to walk kms and kms... and have to travel on public transport for hours on end that does not have any place to change nappies... I had to resort to using the floor between the seats...... I pointed out that the time that they have set for the visit means I will not be able to catch the middle of the day train home and will have to get the late one that gets back to my town after midnight.... And the parents might not even turn up.. apparently they have not turned up to the last 3 access visits......... :thumbdown: :rant: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendy not in HI Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Jean - sorry about doctor frustrations! Melissa - that sounds like the worst trip ever! Crazy! And all to visit parents who will probably not show up?? We are getting rain here this morning, too. I think there is something really wrong with our yard. We are renting - we moved here this summer. Earlier this fall we noticed lots of wetness around the driveway and gutter and it turned out to be a water main leak. It was repaired, but since then we have had just lots of mud. The lawn is bad - not a whole lot of grass, mostly weeds, and it is always a little squishy and muddy. I think the water main leak was not entirely fixed. Or there is a serious drainage problem. Or??? Landlord is not concerned. With all this rain we have standing puddles in our front yard. I'm hoping the basement doesn't leak... So far today I have done nothing... To do: 10 minute tidy up to target mail package to missionary dd make pie dough my little sister will be here later to: make pies! finish up table runner knit some more something easy for dinner - maybe taco soup? track water: x x x x x it's 10:30 and the rain is changing to snow! This is our first winter on the east coast, fall was beautiful and I'm sure winter will have its own beauty. I love snow, but snow just in time for a big travel day isn't such a good thing....

TammyinTN Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Jean....I detest all things on doctor time. Hang in there!! :grouphug: Melissa....that sounds crazy to me...I dread you having to make that trip and I'm sure it isn't easy of the little people either. :grouphug: MomtoCandJ..Happy Birthday to you dd. :party: It's still pouring down rain....waiting for the change over to snow. :toetap05: I absolutely don't know what's wrong with me. It's 1:45 and I was wide away. Back to sleep at 3 until 4:30am to see dd off. Back to sleep for an hour, then awake, then finally back to sleep to 9am. What the heck is wrong with me?

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Those of you with snow, enjoy it! Melissa, that trips sounds absolutely horrible. Is there anyway you could borrow a vehicle for the trip? Does your dh use one that possibly you could use if you dropped him off at work first?

NoseInABook Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Hey, lunch dishes and vacuuming are complete. 7 kids are watching a movie while the toddler I'm watching is going down for a nap. Maybe the baby will nap for me too and I'll get an actual break. Haha. 9 kids and 2 dogs make it hard to get any school done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyinTN Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Noseinabook....Just thinking about 9 kids and 2 dogs makes me tired. Our 2 year old toddler keeps us super busy and were all exhausted at the end of the day. Hope you get a power rest and cup of tea. Liz in Ca---I'm learning to be better to myself each day and take a little time to rest and renew. I'm loving how delicious our house is smelling. Pies are baking and punch is made and turkey is already to be popped in the crockpot in the morning. Now all I have to make is dinner and Land of Nods for breakfast in the morning. Yum!

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Human care done Pet care done and the cat's litter box is barricaded away from the stupid dog who thinks it's his personal treat box. :ack2: Exercised at the Y. Ds has finished physics apparently. I need to figure out if his physics assignments are actually being sent (this is not a matter of not trusting ds but both of us not trusting our e-mail system because we've thought things were sent before that didn't go through.) Need to clean the kitchen. And check on dd and her school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Finished science with dd. Emptied, filled and ran the dishwasher. Listened to dd complain that the organic refried black beans are NOT the same as ordinary refried beans and that she won't eat them. Such a first world problem. . . . Fine. I'll eat them. Let's see. . . need to sort laundry. I need to leave in less than 2 hours for the latest doctor. Oh yes, I was going to load up the car with stuff for Goodwill. So add to list: make kids help me load the car for Goodwill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoseInABook Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 All chores and school complete! Well, minus dinner dishes but those are about to be done in 15 minutes. Then the kids will tuck in bed and goodbyyyye, Wednesday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Stuff dropped off at Goodwill. Got to the doctor sort of on time. I could not figure out what traffic was so horrendous until it finally hit me that tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Duh! Met with doctor. Got stabbed twice by her nurse. They were shots but the needles were over an inch long and she reared back and just jabbed my arm. It hurt! I've never ever had someone give me a shot like that and she wasn't mad at me! Went to the lab where they took even more blood. This guy did manage to get some but he was a bit worried since everyone else had gone home for Thanksgiving and he was the only one left in the lab.
