HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Be there Sunday morning Iiyamadude! On the plane on Saturday night. Link to post Share on other sites
Greenroome 0 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Have a great trip, MB. For all Oz's snowfield faults, there is definitely something very special about skiing through groves of gum trees. Spun me out. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hope you have a good time. Snowgums are a treat, but I'm spoilt. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Thanks. Yes it is pretty - and different to a postcard winter scene. I am just glad to see Papabear back on the snow for the first time since his knee reconstruction....he will be taking it easy and using a pretty big brace .... but at least he is out there. We have all the boards out getting a check and tune, the trestle table is loaded with snow gear, suitcases are on standby for packing - I better hop to it! Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 You go girl. half your luck. It's gotta be snowing down there now. it's bloody freezing up here. bbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 It's snowing, but my day today was UNBELIEVABLE! *Kid #2 going to NZ realized his passport was still with a teacher at school (getting a Nepal Visa inserted) and they were on school holidays - it took 2 hours, 15 phone calls and a bottle of wine to procure it from a safe! *Kid #1 realised his jeans were too tight - needed new pair. Also no track pants - he was planning on taking SHORTS! *Kid #4 limps out of bed with a sprained ankle. *Kid #3 starts complaining of a runny nose (we have all had a cold, but thought he was the start point - nup!) *Can't find the documents for the accomodation/lift passes/snowboard school etc...hubby denies; I am sure it was him - that doesn't find them does it!! *As soon as I finish all the washing in the laundry kid#1 and #2 bring me at least another 2 loads!! *We finally go shopping to get all the bits and pieces they reckon they need for NZ - new jocks, new socks, new tshirts, jeans etc...feeling slightly better about life....and then I get home to find out that... ******kid #3 has been spewing all over the house - looks like GASTRO!!**** Wah! And Papabear sweetly asks me "What is up with you?" Doh! Fingers crossed we all get safely on a plane on Saturday, and NOT with Gastro!! Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 freakin hell. That sounds nasty. Lots of water, lots of meds and 1 day of toilet and plenty of fluids should cure it. If not, get loads of Imodine(<--spelling?) Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 He definitely has Gastro...it is cyclic and predictable. Now if it is bacterial we might be OK because I am cutting sick on the disinfectant and hand sanitiser. If it is viral - god help us, I hope it has a quick infection rate so we can spew and be done with it! Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Let's sing along. That's entertainment da da .... Glad time isn't hanging heavy on your hands Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 MB you make feel a lot better about not having any kids yet! Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 I could easily swap places with you today GN! It was a tear your hair out day. Hoping for better tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 On the upside... Kid has stopped spewing - no-one else is spewing, and there is 40+ cm of fresh powder at Falls Creek right now - and still falling. It'll be ALRIGHT on the NIGHT as they say. Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Have a ball at Falls, Mama. With my baby girl in London teaching, I am well and truly "over" the kid dramas. At least the kind you describe! No 1 son, however has not been in touch for over 2 years, after he left for US. No contact, no contact details, nothing! They DO get better as they age, sometimes. (but some things are not predictable, at 30+, you'd think he'd understand, Nope!) Link to post Share on other sites

If I did not do it my Hubby would have NO contact with his own parents and they live less than 20 mintutes away. It never occurs to him. Maybe if he gets a partner who MEETS you - things will change. Must be hard though - not to know if he is OK. Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Yeah, "meet" me, from the States?? Unless they are around in ski season, I am unlikely to get to meet them. He's not been "home" since he went. I guess it's called "sh!t happens, get over it!" Link to post Share on other sites
I'm Sexy 0 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I can't imagine not contact with my parents. Did you have argument or a kind of bad relationship? Link to post Share on other sites
