I hope everyone had a great day. I'm good but I am craving cheese BADLY. So silly. I've already had a piece & I want more - MORE!!!!

Wonderful news

I will never and have never given up cheese on any dietary incarnation that I have attempted in my past 25 years.



But moderation is good - so well done Lila sweets!!!

Well done Barb! Hope it all goes well for you!

Why do I feel like pizza? Hmmmmm

lol Lindor!

That is fabulous Barb well done.

umm sorry lindor that was my fault you musta smelt the pizza i made for the kids last night through the forums... lol

i love cheese nothing would get me to give it up... lol

.. i had another couple of crappy days ... fighting with hubby getting cranky with the kids ... and got the phonecall from the immunisation clinic .. they needed me to get a referal .. so went to the doctor to discuss it with her and decided to immunise miss moffit while i ws there.. like my doc said either way you know she is going to react why drag her to town to do it..( though i did want a bit of support to get her threw i gave in and agreed with the doctor) both ways i will have to deal with it.. Leah kicked the doctor( in the face i feel terrible for the doctor) hid under the chair screamed like a banshy .. then ran out of the doctors office and hid under a chair in the waiting room . .. the screaming continued for about 3 hours as she blew up like a balloon ( arms legs and body but not the face very much ) and had to take her clothes off becuase they got too tight but the phenergan got her swelling down.. Leah got the ice cream treatment before she decided to talk to me again .. she was so angry with me for making her so sick.


hubby came home snapped at me about something and i grew three heads and screamed at him till he left ... he was being a complete *** hole and deserved it though .. He expects me to always have everything together. Im supposed to not get frustrated when the kids dont listen after a very emotional and stressful day . its like im not allowed to be stressed.. or upset.. i am suppose to just carry on and cook his ****ing dinner.. and make it god damn perfect every god damn night.. im sick of it.. he is so fussy and ****ing rude.. too boot about my cooking .. **** him.

what am i suppose to do i try so god damn hard to keep her well .. i check everything she eats and keep her away from sick kids ... and yesterday i had to go againest everything i have worked so hard to avoid.. I went to bed alone last night crying at the memory of my daughters face of absolute fear and battrael she had when i found her under the chair of the waiting room.. poor kid .. whio wouldn't be terrified of a needle that makes you so sick..

Amy I feel for you. Have the docs offered to desensatise (sp) her. My husbands daughter has allergies and they gave her a couse of injections, seems to have worked.
You sound like you need some time out. Go stay with your mum and dad for a while and make your unappreciative husband take care of himself for a few days, see how well he does on his on. Sometimes wonderwoman needs a break. You can't be expected to be on top of everything all of the time, sprinkles or no sprinkles!

First of all Barb so many congrats for you. Bet yr really pleased.

AMy I really feel for you. When i was doing my training we had a patient who was 19 and screamed and jumped on her mum s knee and flipped out about getting a needle. Not because it would make her sick but for her fear of them.

Is Leah scared of the needle or knows it makes her sick? If it's the needle has the doctor tried tapping her before they stick it in? its a trick i learnt from the doctor here and u know my kids have never EVER freaked out with him, yet the RN did it once and they did flip. The tapping apparently moves the mind away from the needle sting. I use it for big injections with patients i look after and it seems to work with them.

But if it's cause she gets so sick that she's scared I dont have any advice sry lol. Sickness IS scary when yr big let alone being a little girl. Poor thing give her lots of mummy hugs.

As for your man.... think we've all (or most of us) have been through that crap at some stage. **** its an everyday occurance in my house and i just flip my hair (when i USED to have hair) and ignore it.

I have lost weight not sure exactly sure when or how but last weigh in at Doc i was 78.3 or something and now i am 76... wooohoo

Oh God Amy, what a sh*thouse day. I hope things get better.
I put on almost a kilo this week. Poop. It's almost TOM & it's IMPOSSIBLE to diet when hubby is off work - he has taken 2 weeks holidays, we are just spending it round the house & doing day trips, it's lovely, but when we are out & about it's really difficult to stay on plan.
I think I might try for maintaining my weight for the next 2 weeks then back to it with a VENGENCE!

well done vonni thats great news.

Leah got off pretty lightly in the end.. she didnt blow up again... so all in all a fairly minor reaction .. Leah was terrified b4 she even got in the door .. and i think its becuase she knows its gonna make her sick.. ..

These forums are pretty funny i didnt write the cherry on top part thats what it changed my swearing too.. lol ...


I dont know about desensitiving barb.. but i would assume that is done with a load of needles and she is just too young for me to drag her through that.. i guess if anything she may out grow her allergies.. .. or become less sensitive with time.. im guessing the affect on her little body of a preservative is far greater then the affect on her adult size .. so its just a waiting game..


Vonni do you mean you put tape where you are going to put the needle?? I dont know if it woulda helped Leah this time.. becuase she was already a mess b4 it happened.. but interesting concept .

Anyway.. My hubby started groveling b4 i even got home last night... I think he realsised he ****ed up big time.. and was an *******..

Congrats on the job Barb, that's great!

Well my toof extractions went well. The drugs they gave me were awesome and I don't remember a thing. Was out of it all of Tuesday while the sedatives wore off, wasn't in much pain at all yesterday but it hit me last night and my face has been aching heaps since then.

The worst thing is that I've used this as an excuse to completely sabotage my weight loss. It's something I've often done in the past, use being unwell as an excuse for eating crap to make myself feel better. Today I had McDonalds for lunch followed by a vanilla custard slice.

Not cool at all and IT STOPS HERE. No more excuses, all I'm doing is putting on the weight that I worked so hard to lose. I'm back on track AS OF NOW.

I have a new niece! Judeline Anne Russo was born at 12.35am weighing 6lb6oz and 45 cm's. They named her after my mum.

Barb that is great and so sweet they named her after your mum .. congrats too you and your family.. i bet she is gorgeous..
