hey, well we've been out & about all over Sydney today. Remind me if I have another child not to give it a dummy. Dunno how many times we stopped on the freeway to re-install to the whoosh of trucks rushing by! We ran late for the whole day because after Ella woke early I actually got her (& me) back to sleep & then she (&I) did a marathon run. Can't say I'm complaining about that

Picked up a bargain $5 steriliser off ebay which I need to take to Karitane next week & most exciting of all a Jolly Jumper from a friend. Put Ella in it this arvo & she was thrilled to bits, so she jumped while I sorted out scrapbooking to do tonight. Would rather go to bed so can stockpile sleep for the marathon that starts around 12 am but need to get out & have a life not to mention get ella's photos sorted a bit.

So sorry to hear about all the bad nights out there. At least we were keeping each other company. One day they'll all sleep... sleepy vibes for tonight & high hopes for a sleep in Saturday he he he

Buzzie, I know what you mean about the hormones, they're shocking. That's when I really started coming undone, when AF returned. Last week was expected AF, (hormonal, v. grumpy & stressed, and serious pain) but never came. go figure. Maybe I was hormonal cos I was ovulating. Great, another good week in the month.

Nic, you poor thing, you must have been so worried about Olivia & furious with Ethan. I know just why he got sent to bed. In my teaching days I could handle just about any misbehaviour if a kid was sorry, but when there's attitude, then I was really furious. I could see the steam coming off my computer from your post. Hope everythings back on a happy road again for you guys now.

Oh Lori, what is there to say. LMAO. Just think, he's paved the way for Ty to trash the carpet for the next few years, then you can replace it. That's what we're going to do. Hope Ty slept last night. And man, if I'm a trooper, you're a super-trooper (hmm, Abba, now don't get me started), cos I know he's up way more than Ella, only you cope so much better than me! Thanks so much for the encouragement hun, I totally appreciate it.

Have a good friday evening all.
