Hi girls- I hope all is well with everyone, and you Melb girls are not suffering too much with the heat. The weather here in perth has been all over the place, one day its hot the next it is overcast, I kinda wish it owuld just make up its mind.

Cee-cee: I have my fingers crossed that Ally doesnt have chicken pox, this is really not the weather to have something like that. OMG about tht 18 month old in the pool, that is terrible, what a close call.

Nic- Tori used to roll over in her cot and get stuck and start whinging to be turned back, but now she crawls all around in there, she never goes to sleep in the spot she is put down, and if you put her int here and she doesnt want to sleep she crawls to the end and peers out down the hallway as if to say- where is everyone and why am I in here all alone- its really cute.

Mel- I hope Chelsea had a great birthday, and good call on moving the party- it will be much more enjoyable for all concerned if it is a bit cooler

IK- I agree about the recycled water being a good thing, my dad does water treatment for a living and he was saying that the recycled water will end up being cleaner that what we are drinking already, plus once it is recycled it will get pumped back into the dams to mix with the other water. We are trying to do our bit for savign water, we always use the baby bath water to water the garden, and I think we might start using a bucket in the shower too because it takes ages to get the water the right temp.

Bath- Good call on the shelving, that would have been something I would never have thought about. Wardrobes can be quite dangerous too, when my mum was little she was playing hide and seek with her sisters and hide in the wardrobe and it fell down onto its doors and she got stuck, her dad had to life the whole thing up so she could get out.

Simone- a Good tip someone gave me once was if you are having trouble sleeping, get up and write down everything in your head so that you know that you have acknowledged it, and will remember it all to deal with at a more appropriate time.

Well it is has been a huge couple of days here, I worked yesterday and today doing 7am starts which was a real shock tothe system. DH has been great though, he has gotten upin the night to Tori every night for a week, and it has been wonderful to spend full nights in bed. DH had to pop into work today because there was a break down and i was at work too, my mum and dad are away and our back up baby sitter was away too so Tori went and spent a few hours with my brother and niece, she had a pretty good time but was happy to see her dad when he went to get her.
We are going to check out a couple of daycares this week, becase I havent gotten a job and i am going to be relief teaching, I am going to need to make myself available to work- we are only going to put her in one day a week, and DH is home one day, and mum is around a couple of days a week- by doing this I am increasing my opportunities to work, I only want to work 2 days a week so hopefully it will all sort itself out.
Anyway off to bed to read,not tired tonight, Tori and i had a 2 hour nap this arvo.
