HI all

Got ANOTHER cold and feel like cr*p again!

Well today Matt and I checked out the Electrical light stores and bought some fittings for our rumpus room. I can't live with those 3 80's style Neon sconces for another year ARGGHH! Anyway we bought some snake lights with the luminous globes which were on sale from Ideal for only $65 each! Will update those horrid 80s fittings soon.

We also had lunch at Lonestar today and Aleise slept through all of it - then like a little angel she woke up when we finshed and Matt gave her a bottle. Gee why can't she do that when she's home alone with me???

Comments re baby size: Yeah babies are supposed to be chubby (to some extent) but if you met my oldest SIL you'd realise she meant a niggling comment in a "subtle way." Matt's sisters boast about their breast feeding efforts and on occassions have made me feel less of a mother by bottlefeeding. They understand why I had to but still some people just don't know when to dig out their manners from the depths of their nappy bags (lol!). Anyway I guess they're jealous that Aleise sleeps most nights and is a very good baby 'cause their kids are quite the opposite. Oh and oldest SIL is a total snob so let's just say I tolerate her.

Jaspen: When did you move to Tsv? I grew up there. I guess you have a lovely house near the Army base from what you were saying. Is your DH in the Army? Mine used to be. I miss Tsv this time of year - not too warm and just right!

Nickers: I have to watch Aleise doesn't head but me either - she can't quite hold her head up yet but when we nurse her over our shoulder she tends to sway from side to side and sometimes clonk us one.

June Mummy:KR: Yeah its nice to catch up with neice and nephews but if MIL had her way we'd be up there every weekend! Oh and of course Christmas belongs to her so no way we'd be doing our own thing this year now we have a bub. Long story.

Well its dinner time and Matt has made a lovely sweet potato soup. I just wish I could smell it - darn cold!

See you in here again ladies - sorry not many personals. Had to stop midway and feed Aleise.
