KEL _ Are you talking to your mum yet? IMO it's the grandparents role to help in situations like that. My mum is many things, but she most often comes to the party when I ask her to for situations just like you're describing. I think it's the time of year too, everybody is going crazy. I'm still yet to check out Jem on facebook, I can't even believe I'm online atm, but mind you it's almost 11pm.

RYN _ Thanks so much for being a darling. It's nice that I know you guys are hear to vent too. Even if you are all rolling your eyes at me from your chairs, I'm venting, so it's making me feel better. A lot of the wives told me that the last week is the hardest & when you're patience is rock bottom. They are right. Alan is home on Sunday. I know it sounds horrible, I'm not overly jumping out of my skin to see him. Is this bad? I never realised that you're still not getting more than 4hrs sleep per night out of Liebs. How did you stop feeding him overnight, well I know how you stopped, but how did you get him back to sleep? I'm STILL feeding Claudia around 5am every morning, just can't shake it.

KIRSTEND _ I"m so glad that Quinn is being so brave & his blisters are healing up very quickly. IKWYM about getting the pox over & done with now. Oh ouch about all the spots though, that's insane!

KYM _ It sounds as though you're in a good mindset about sorting Monkey's sleeping out. You're doing it bit-by-bit & you know that if it doesn't work, there are other options available to you. I like that! I feel like that about Claudia at times, she is going to be my last baby, so I just tell myself that I won't be doing it again when I'm sitting in the dark at 2am! My issue isn't getting her to sleep, it's keeping her asleep!

TASHIE _ Just e-mailing you know....... 6kg is absolutely awesome! WTG girl, I'm proud of you.

ME/US _ Another action packed day for us, which means action packed cranky kids for me! LOL. Alan is home on Sunday. WOO HOO! I'm talking up Alan coming home on Sunday to Jessica, of course Claudia is oblivious to it. I have booked myself & a gf into the day spa for first thing Monday morning. I can't wait!!! Yay for me!
