Somebody stopped notifying me lol and I have been so flat out since school went back that I almost didn't notice.

Last week I decided I would go to the local market and try to get some orders for my santa sacks, so I have spent all week going crazy, sewing heaps of stuff, well went today, went halves with mum in the stall which was $10 ea and all I sold was 4 things for $27. I am really disappointed, and feel like I have worked all week for nothing. I was up till 2 am this morning finishing the last few items, I have hardly moved out of the sewing room all week and it feels like it was all for nothing. I have decided to go again next month and am contemplating going to another local market next weekend, as everything is all packed up but not sure whether I will or not. My house has gone to the dogs, it is a disgrace, and as I have been sewing I have not kept on top of it, and I am too tired now to do anything, and whats more my selfish DH has booted off fishing!! He had a vasectomy on Tuesday so there will def be no more babies for us, which is sad, but inevitable that you have to make a decision at some stage. And we only ever wanted 4 kids so I am very happy and feel very lucky to have 4 healthy gorgeous kids.

Hi Pee- welcome back, and I totally get what you mean re the staying home thing. Sorry to hear you may not have anymore kids, but how wonderful that you have RYley to love forever. I worked ft with the first 2 kids, stopped work the year I had Jemma and it was the best decision I have made. I don't really regret working, as we have what we have bc I did, but look back with sadness sometimes at the things I missed. Like Jordans 1st day of school, but at least I was home for Joshuas
I feel frustrated sometimes with being home cleaning my house constantly, I guess that is why I have to be busy with the scrapbooking and sewing, because I MST be using my brain at all times or I get crazy lol Funny cos I never wanted to be a SAHM, and now I am a WAHM so that is the best of both worlds for me.

Tegan- I see your little man is here, congrats and welcome to the world to your darling. We too are having car tantrums, I love Christy's idea lol cos I know that would work for Jess. The other thing that happened the other day was that I put her on the outside of the car and shut the door and got in the drivers seat lol (In my driveway of course- can't do it anywhere else.) She started crying and got straight into her seat. But the prob is she does it when we are out and I can't do that. She does the freak out quite often and I just say bad luck, esp if she is yelling at me about wanting things and then changing her mind.

Jess was hilarious last night, she was in the dark on the trampoline and was jumping sitting on her bum and standing up again, she is so clever.

Christy- not long to go, hope it hapens quickly lol, esp after all those pains. And Yay for darling Matilda being so grownup and good too with sleeping and no tanties. Love the dressing story too My kids prefer PJ days, have trouble getting them dressed.

Jess has gotton a bit lazy with the tt, esp after the kids were home, today she has taken herself off to the toilet which is good,it is hard when they are little, cos the toilet is so big lol

Anyway best be going, Hello to everybody I missed, too tired to remember anything else.
hugs

Christy- pmsl at MAtilda
