Dory - LOL @ the poonami... I love that term. At least it goes with the carpet nicely, looks like little Hannah is quite the interior decorator! As much as I wish he would take responsibility for his own damn laundry............ I definitely enable him by taking that on as my job. I mean, I'm here all day. Surely I can provide dry laundry? Is that wrong? I just kind of see the domestic stuff as my job now, as he's the one out there earning the money to PAY for all the stuff in the house, and the house..... goodness me I've somehow time-travelled back to the 50's. But seriously, if this stuff isn't my job, what is? Ikwym about feeling drained after having constant visitors. How are the furbabies adjusting to Hannah? I'd love to know what strategies you used if any since we have a kitty and a puppy who are very much the centre of attention. Oh and one more thing. It's just so wonderful to see you reach the other side of your very long very harrowing journey to motherhood. I think of you often, and it makes me smile to know that you got through it all. It really is amazing what you went through to get to where you are today. Enjoy watching your little girl grow!
