    Oooh... That makes me feel a bit funny as well, Mako. Closer to your age or mine? Can you let me know in a PM, cos I'm going to stress about it!

    GP today was fine. No signs of ear infection, so signs of tonsilitis... it's a bit like taking your car to a mechanic though, cos Sam was happy and has eaten better this morning. Sleep has been all over the place cos the GP was running nearly an hour late so then he was over tired and couldn't sleep and he didn't crash until nearly 4. He took a dummy for a while when I was desperately trying to get him to go to sleep, but it didn't help. He let me take it away with no issues and is now currently sleeping without one. I'm about to do the sweep and find them all and put them away - not quite ready to throw them out, but it really does look like he's decided he's done with them.

    As for me - pain levels are increasing rapidly, just from missing the daily medication I was on. I haven't got to when my weekly dose would have been due, so I know it's going to get even worse. It's damned hard and it hurts and I'm exhausted and I just don't know how I'll get through! My fingers are quite visibly swollen right now, but that could easily be from the heat as well.

    BW - I just wish I could take your pain away. You must be going through such a marathon atm.

    Thank you all so much for keeping Sara and I in your thoughts today. Sara was a little nervous this morning on the drive to school, as was Rob and I. But as soon as she got there she was fine and very excited. She was the first to walk into her class and she shook her teachers hand, introduced herself and gave her age lol. Loren followed her and did the same thing, so cute. Loren didn't want to leave either and she was a little upset when we had to go. I had to console my SIL who burst into tears the minute she walked her daughter into the room. I was fine until the gate closed behind me and I had to walk away I had a tear and lump in my throat for a bit. I was late picking Sara up because of roadworks and a 3yo who refused to get into the car, but that didn't seem to mind my chatter box who was going through syllables on the computer with her teacher aide. Then I had to wait 15 mins whilst Sara hugged each teacher and teacher aide goodbye. All in all she had a great time.

    BW - Sam is doing really well without the dummy.

    Lisa - My heart is skipping a beat for you atm. I actually thought about you this morning and I had a feeling that you may get a +ve and if you do I know everything will be fine!!! If I can do it, you can.

    Mako - You are so sweet. I feel for your DH. Please get better Mr Mako.

    Hi to all. I best go and do the house work and school prep

    Mako - Yaaaah, that was a bit spooky really, wasn't it??!! Great to see you guys yesterday but next time, let's leave the kids at home with the boys! LOL
    BW - I'd get rid of them all together babe. Keep one and get DH to hide it somewhere so it's not a tempting quick fix, but it would really suck (ahem, 'scuse the pun) to have come this far and then go back to it again. He sounds like he is doing really well without one! I hope your Drs can get your pain levels under control asap
    Bek - Glad to hear Sara had a good first day! Was thinking of you guys. How's the new job going? Have been having delusions of maybe trying to get something part time towards the end of the year. One of the preschools here (which is a 5 min walk from our place) starts from 2yrs, L is on the waiting list and was thinking of putting D down too. But have just spoken to them today and L is likely to be on the list for at least 12 months, so would be even longer for D. So there goes that idea! L is starting in the preschool program at a daycare centre out of town next week and I could put D there too I guess, but with the travel, getting to work etc, all seems a bit too hard! LOL
    Lisa - I have a feeling we're going to get some big news
