Simone, yay for the score of a Hills swingset. Beggars can't be choosers hey I have been checking in here, but generally not enough time to post.

Dee, So just when is MIL leaving ?? Mine is so quiet I can easily overpower her if she annoyed me too much How rude of her to not let your own mother go along to the arty. Good on you for putting oyur foot down and not going. You and your mum should go out to dinner or do something nice together instead. Who wants to go to their stupid party anyway.

Bec, hun you are all having a rough trot at the moment, I hope it all gets sorted out soon and that everyone gets back to their happy and healthy selves.

Tanya, YAY on finally having BB. Are you noticing how much faster it all is. There is no way I could go back to dial up now, I just don't have the patience to wait 5 minutes for a page to load. How are the girls going?? And what about bub on the inside ?? Quietly confident at bub being a boy or not stressing about it now ??

Deb and Fi, I hope you guys are doing ok and that all little people are behaving themselves and letting you get some sleep.

Tehya had a good stack this morning in the toyroom, not exactly sure what shr did, we think she fell from the table and chairs in there. She screamed but we didn't notice any makrs on her until about 30 mintues later. I was fixing her hair up and noticed this huge red mark on her throat, right at the front. Looks like a massive hicky. All blood spots to the top of her skin, but no actual broken skin. Ouchies, probably looks worse than it is.

Mark has deserted me. He has been bugging me for weeks to go camping over Christmas with Tehya and Noah. The idea of a tent, no bed, no comforts with a toddler really does not appeal to me. Where are the four walls to contain her ?? I know that is the whole point of camping but I truely do not feel like running around after her the whole damn time. So he has gone away for the night with Noah. They left not long ago. The big boys are still at their dad's house so it's just Teh and I.

Oh well, fingers crossed she goes down early tonight. I bought Black Hawk Down today so I might get to watch it in peace tonight.

More news too. Mark and I had a big D & M lastnight, and it would seem that he would maybe like another child. In another 5 years !!! Well, that is atleast a change from him rather ginving himself a vastectomy. MAybe by the time he is ready I will be over it .... Who knows. But atleast he is willing to consider it now
