Maya - how is Oscar, hopefully not snotty anymore. I too have been blessed with late wakers, thankfully! I don't think I could do a 5.40am wake up every morning. How was your date and what did you see (hopefully something more romantic than Black Hawk Down!!!!!)

Nic - good luck with the move and hope you are back online soon. When we renovated, we were without a kitchen for a couple of weeks and it was awful, and that was with no kids! I love my kitchen so being without one was hard, be strong! Glad you are feeling better.

My little Gemini monster has been a real treat lately! She is such a happy chappy one minute, then cranky pants the next. Someone reminded me that she is a gemini, which I hadn't really thought of before. I am not really into the star signs but after hearing that, maybe I should start reading up more. I went out yesterday for lunch with one of my GF's and her son is a few months older than Marley. He wanted to go out the door, which Marley was holding the door handle, he tried to push it open and she pushed him on the ground. He walked off looking very upset. I went over to tell her no, that's not very nice and she just smiled at me so sweetly!!! She has still been pulling Chelsea's hair and nearly ripped the buttons off one Chelsea's tops she was pulling so hard. It is really driving me crazy. Chelsea was such a gentle little thing and such a good toddler, I'm not used to this and not sure if I am going about it the right way? Please feel free to share any of your words of wisdom.

Best get back to work! Hi to everyone.
