Jo I am sorry that AF reared her ugly head. I too was thinking of you on Friday. With the IL's, I have come to learn that some people are just totally emotionally defunct, their problem honey not yours. I don't know if you have ever read about my MIL, but trust me, I know how it feels not to have our children validated.
Mel: I have been watching your ticker closely babe, that TWW is a killer. I agree with your plan for this month, you just do what you want so if that means getting up after DTD then you go for it. I hope that this month it is glee that you feel, not disappointment.
Deb: The train to Brisbane with 4 kids, girl you need a stiff drink (pitty Col wouldn't allow).
Lynn: Hmm, one or two, perhaps we should start a book and get some money down.
Well all is great here. No dirty weekends though Bailey, the tummy sort of takes away the spontanety at the moment and DTD is getting to be a planned event IYKWIM. We watched Blood Diamond this morning. I don't know if any of you have seen it but it was really hard to watch. Very violent but I closed my eyes during the really bad bits. It is all about the illegal diamond trade in Sierra Leone and the children soliders. We have a rule in our house, if a movie is based on a true story, then no matter how hard it is to watch, those people deserve for their story to be told. I did cry my eyes out though, and I think I even caught DH welling up a bit although he will never admit it.
Anyway, we are going to keep doing the washing, unpacking and then take the dogs for a walk if the rain stays away. We have BABEL to watch this arvo so no doubt I'll be balling again.
I think also it is about time we organise a catch up with the Sydneysiders, I'll post about it in the other thread.
