Hey PJ,

Are you ok? It's not always easy is it? If you feel like crying, sometimes, letting it out and having a good cry can help too! I can't remember if you are married or not, but can someone maybe come and help you look after Summer to come over tonight or tomorrow and take over for a few hours? Your sis maybe? Just so you can have a few hours sleep, there is nothing wrong with having a bit of a break. When mummy is not happy, usually the family is not happy, so it is important that you also look after yourself. Have you tried yoga meditation? or even going to yoga class, I always find it really calms me and re-balances me.
Poor Summer, is it hot by any chance up there at the moment? I know Sammy just can't sleep in the heat ( as we found out last Saturday night when out with friends?)
Did Summer maybe eat something new in the last couple days? Or been constipated and maybe has a tummy ache? I really hope she settles for you soon. Sending you big hugsxxxxx

Dansta: Haha, yes I agree, I think mums do forget but in the end they mean well and you'll most likely do the same thing to your daughter ( maybe if Bundy is a girl!!) I don't want to pull the "age" thing on you but you will be AMAZED at how much you start resembling your parents the older you get..it's frightening, I hear my mum all in the time in me now! haha. I am sure that she will get over not looking after DJ for the scan, after all, you do have to share him around. It does suck though when they lay the guilt trip on you...so hard to keep everyone happy. I have no doubt that you will not neglect DJ and that you will be a great mum to your 2 little munchkins. I do wish I was 21 sometimes let me tell ya!

Sterla: Oh noes!!! Not a cold, a family one to boot as well! Hope you guys feel better a lot sooner than not. What trashy book are you reading? I somehow just can't imagine you reading thrashy books! LOL Just to show you, you can never judge the cover of a book right? I am glad Oliver is not off his foods anymore, it would have been a bit worriesome eh? It could have been this cold coming on.. Has he made any attempts to touch the Xmas tree yet? Sammy is mesmerised, but has not touched it as of yet and its on the ground but the look on her face was just so awesome when she saw the tree all light up, we caught it on camera too ( pity I didn't have my pj pants on, otherwise I'd post it on FB! LOL I am sure that will make for a nice 21st..Oh yeah nice one mum, no pants!! Haha

Peach: What;s up little missy? Hows fat chops? How did you cope with the heat wave??

AFM: well, what a busy week, does it ever stop? We went to my DH's cousin last Saturday and it was SO FREAKIN HOT out there, no pool and their air con is localised in the living room and Sammy's room must have been at least 35C stifling hot. tried to have her sleep in the pram but even inside the lounge, she just couldn't settle. Went outside for a walk when a breeze picked up, and Nah just would not go to sleep, she finally went down around 9pm, it was such a mission...but poor poppet has got her mummy canuck blood in her too, she is just not good with heat at all, neither am I. So we decided that on Xmas day if it is as hot as that, we are going to drive home instead cause DH's aunty has got no air con and I am not putting her through that again. I met up with a fellow BB'er this week, SUnshine, she was awesome and I think we kinda clicked. We are catching up again next Tuesday, was nice to meet someone new. I also started up my driving lessons again and it is SO MUCH easier in an auto, should have done it months ago! anyway, looks like I should be sweet to get my P's by March which is when my L's end and I don't have to go onto the 150 hours. Sammy is having such a huge developmental growth still, she is pickling things up so quickly, it's really amazing. It does go both ways though, more undertsanding = also more tantrums when mum is not doing something that Sammy wants! LOL but she'll get over that soon enough! haha The rest of the week just flew by as usual. Anyway, enough rambling, am starving an need to make myself something to eat. xxxx
