Hi Girls,

Cass - My thoughts are definately gonna be with u tomorrow as Kaitlyn goes off to daycare - she'll be fine...i'm sure she'll love playing with the other kids and u'll get through it too. i'll send u heaps of happy vibes and hugs

i also totally understand what its like to fight with the inlaws. We didn't speak to DH's parents for about 4 months after Ella's christening... they were totally pathetic! They are Maltese and have never particularly warmed to me because their son married an Aussie girl from a broken family (yeah - like it was my fault!). We didn't christen Ella as Catholic just as Christian (which is the same thing!!!) and it was all down hill from there. They couldn't cope with the fact that we were actually pretty damn capable at being parents - i think they secretly wanted us to fall apart so they could sweep in and save their beloved first grandchild - and didn't like the decisions we chose to make regarding our daughter. It has been a massive battle for me even with breast feedin as noone and i mean noone in their family - even extended has breastfed - they think it's dirty or something ridiculous, so i'm looked down on for being a proud b/f mother! i'm pretty much forbidden to talk about it and i'm banished from the room everytime i need to feed - freaks...it's natural!!!!!!!!! Anyway - it was completely horrible and very bitter...it wasn't worth living like that so, like u, we built a bridge and it's slowly getting better (but my MIL has warned me that if i do something she doesn't like she'll come at me 'with her claws out' - yeah really nice!!) Anyway - enough of my whinging about that. I really hope it works out 4 u guys

Changing the subject...u gals are into the slow cooker - i don't have one -r they really that good? I absolutely love to cook...one of my fav things... - but there are definately days when there just isn't the time (or energy) to slave in the kitchen...and those ribs sound tops.

Rona - just got Bess onto BB. i'll make sure she introduces herself...prob another potential addict!!!

Tracey - how was ur day off and ur lunch? Hope u had fun

And Brooke - how r things with DH and ur little Charli too? Hope u had a better day today!

Speak to u all soon
