Oh I don't know T&L ... I sort of like the Australian interpretation myself!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> As for my MOTHERS opinions on breeding 'HAH!!!!" of course I feel that all my sisters have not done their full duty yet so in that case its perfectly ok <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> mum get on their case ... I'll help nag if you want <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> Now as for my babies having babies, well that has some attraction of course <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> however Liz's opinion after being in the ED recently has changed markedly. Something to the effect of 'Not without DRUGS!!!" lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Hayley and JJ ... Hmmmmm now theres a possibility ... except HE keeps changing the subject ... typical .. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

AW - It was good to hear from mum. I can't wait till my sons have babies. My niece is pregnant, and sis and I are going to steal the baby from the hospital just so that she can rest.

Without accidents, there would not be nearly as many grandchildren. I have finally gotten my wee darlings quieted down, now that I am ready to have a nervous breakdown. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Plus I keep typing down as 'dwon' and retyping it wrong, and retyping it wrong again. Guees some sleep would be in order. Well I made an ecard for yall and sent it to myself, but it never arrived. So I tried, I love you anyway, and Merry Christmas to every single one of you, dear friends. (And dear family, too.) Argh! There is still one child awake!!!!! I'm sure I heard her coughing, heh heh. So Mom got birds for Christmas. Really they are just refugees from the Dervish and his Issues. I miss their lieelt chirping noises, but they don't miss the Dervish. Not even a little bit. But she has a birthday coming up soon, so the gifts are not done yet. 20 minutes left of Christmas, enjoy it all. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Merry Christmas to all!
I spent saturday and sunday in the hospital with my mother who had some kind of infection... the doctor and I didn't agree but luckily the antibiotics worked for whatever it was and monday she was feeling and looking much better and allowed to go home. In the meantime I had to prepare for Xmas eve dinner for the family, so I've been a little busy and had no time to wish you all great holidays.
Luckily it's over for a couple of days anyway. My niece and her husband are visiting for 10 days arriving the 28th so something will have to be done for the New Year!
I hope 2008 will be a great year for all!

Or get on the phone to the army guy and sniffle, it works sometimes <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> anything to shut the woman up lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> we are up late cause the men want to watch a doco movie on the Kokoda trail battle in WW2 ... I mean I would have thought ... no scratch that .... what do I know? well I suppose we should be lucky they let us watch it with them shouldn't we? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Not all the children are asleep yet, and the ones that are, haven't been for long. Talk about a nervous breakdown in a box! I am about to kick all of them in their Mount Rushmores...
Nothing accomplished, and as tired as if I had actually done something.
They are quiet, after yet another night of losing their chance of Christmas stockings in the morning (Santa is just too tired, ok????) and being told that if I heard one more peep out of them, the peeper would not get a stocking at all. Even the Dervish subsided immediately at that.

The Princess came up with a good one today. At Wal Mart, in the automotive section, she was sitting in the waiting area reading a teeny-bopper magazine and expounding at length on which mascara was the #1 in America. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> "Mom, what is s-a-t-i-n? It's Satan, right?" *Snort* at the mental pictures she must have had.

When you have a Dervish, you learn to use the tools that work! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I have a dervish. So far, I haven't strung him up by his little toes. I have used all sorts of creative techniques.
He went through a spell where he yelled at me. A LOT. This was not acceptable. So, every time he yelled at me, I would tell him I couldn't hear him. But, I said, if you stood on the coffee table in the den while you yelled at me, I might be able to hear you. He couldn't figure that one out. The few times he got up there, he would realize this was silly and he would start laughing and get down.
One day, he was so upset, he got up there and started yelling. I knew it wasn't about me....it was about him being upset about something and he needed help dealing with it but he had to calm down first. So, I sat down and listened till he got through yelling.
When he was over, I asked him to sit beside me and we would talk about it. So, he sat down and we talked about it and worked it out. He never really needed to yell like that again.
Now, he is fourteen and ornery.....like 14 year old boys often are. So, we are dealing with disrespect instead of that sort of anger. And we will get through this, too.

Neak, hope you got a good night's sleep.
TNL, hope you continue to heal well.
AW, hope those men don't eat you out of house and home.
Everyone, I will be leaving soon for a diplomatic mission to the Far Kingdom where I will be seeing The Diplomat. I will be gone until next year. (That sounds like such a long time when it will only be about 4-5 days.)
Until then, as the song says, "....Love and joy come to you".
Happy New Year!!!

Oh dear the poor Dervish ..... he's going to have ladders long enough to fit on a fire engine in those stockings before he gets them!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Just remember you are not allowed to wrap the Dervish in the stocking <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> ............. meanwhile I'm having the 'joy' of trying to get Mikey to sleep while his dad is being a right pain in the **** encouraging him to get out of bed and play with him!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> I'm not sure who is actually the little boy right now! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
