Gee you are busy Brooke, how do you fit it all in? Sounds like you have your hands full. Good on you for starting walking.

Just a quickie here as Al is hanging around. He has been so clingy (pain in the arse) all week, I just can't leave the room for even a moment! For the past 2 nights I have given in and let him sleep with me as I just get so frustrated getting up and trying to settle him so frequently. He knows DH is missing and probably worries I will disappear into thin air as well.

Gemma- sorry if I forgot to congratulate Amy on her birthday, give the clever girl a kiss from me. Are there any photos yet?

Rachel- I hope your SIL pulls through quickly. If I had a spare week and a half, I would go and do a vispassana meditation again- you sit and meditate and not talk to anyone for 10 days, I tell you its life changing and the kind of clarity that could sort out the very worst of us. Very nice of you to offer to take her with you to Paris, but now you can just enjoy yourself instead!

Hey Vanita I think your 'little rotter' and mine are in a conspiracy together to empty as many cupboards as possible in a short amount of time! Do they just not like things INSIDE the drawer or cupboard?? I am trying to teach him to 'put them away again' but its just not sinking in!!!

WTG Coby and Dion for walking!!

Hi Kate and Hayseed!
