Im glad you cleared the air with your parents Michelle; I am another with sucky family so all I can do is throw yet more at you. Also; if you feel the need for some non-family company I am childless tues and thurs so only a phone call away! PLEASE please dont hesitate to do it ok? I would love to wile away some time in de-nile with you If you can abscond from resting and maybe even brave enough to let your parents watch the kidlets we could even see..................a movie..........yes I know I said a bad word .

Well even though the mood is sombre in here I thought I would share some random good news with the group; not totally related to any of us but good news nonetheless and we need a lift of some sort. My MILs oncologist has told her he is 99% sure the breast cancer is done and dusted! She has her last chemo on the 18th then starts hormone therapy; then she can go about life as normal and is oh so anxiously awaiting her hair to grow back. We're relieved to hear this news; even though she was given a great prognosis at the start there is still always that black cloud with cancer that lingers until your treatments done and they can make a decision about your outcome.

I was going to attempt personals but seeing as its 10pm I might actually go to bed on the off-chance that the boys decide sleep isnt for the weak..........hope we all have a good nights sleep!
