Jen, once a week? I think I might be able to manage that! I'm finding that even doing the washing up is a bit much for me ATM because I have to leave forward over my belly and that makes me breathless and my back hurts! I don't think I got this big even at the end with Ben!
Ben doesn't say no, he says "Nup!" Hehe, that just shows how terrible his parent's slang/pronunciation is huh?
It's even hotter today isn't it? If we didn't have aircon, I think I would have gone to a shopping centre to hang out today!

Kel, I'm with Jen. Use one of those 3hr breaks to take in a movie or just vege. The housework is ALWAYS going to be there waiting for you and it's never finished anyway. Our house looks like a tip more often than not these days but I just don't have the energy to pick up Ben's cars for the 14th time in a day and we ALWAYS need to vacuum and mop thanks to the dog. I've just learnt to let go - and I do it so well
Maybe you should try cutting Lil back to one sleep during the day? Ben's now starting to sleep a little later and taking a more 'normal' daytime sleep rather than only being awake for a couple of hours before his morning nap. Stopping work is having some major perks!!!

The room is being painted!!! DH has been washing walls all morning and has almost finished taping up the alcatraves. Painting will start either today or tomorrow. Hopefully it will only need one coat too. Yay - I can move my boy into his big boy bed at long last!!!
