Oh dear, Oscar slept on the train and went to sleep at 11pm! He wasn't well overnight - bit hot and woke up to do some almost-runny poos (very unusual indeed!), so I slept with him, but I think he was quite stimulated from playing with all the kids, even after an hour plus sleep on the train!
I started reading Declaration on the train and can't wait to get more into it! I have a few books on the go - just started reading DP's Christmas present of Peter Singer's book 'Writings on an Ethical Life', have started reading a family friend's book (not in print in Oz yet, he gave it to me last year in Ireland, called "Peeling Oranges" by James Lawless ) and trying to read my yoga magazine. I better hurry, cos if I pass last semester I'll have heaps more reading to do in Feb before semester starts!
Ali - that's beautiful news about you being godparents to Tanya's boy! I hope you get the year you want, and the trip you've planned for Jan, too - it's a hard slog being mummy to two young kidlets.
Even with just one I reckon I deserve a few perks in life, like two yoga sessions a week I think I've convinced DP of that one - especially as I'm a more zen person throughout the week...and it should set me up nicely to cope with our second child, whenever it appears!
Rory, I hope I didn't offend you with my response to your question yesterday! It comes off the back of presumptuous people telling us we must be ready for the next child, and not considering that there may be some perfectly compelling reasons it hasn't happened yet beyond wanting to satisfy their expectations of us () and I know that you weren't asking in this vein I'm still feeling feisty about it after all our family time over Christmas/New Years and what I would have answered without that baggage would have been, "yes, happy with one for now until the second turns up, whenever it's meant to happen", cos that's where we're at I had sufficient time on the train to cringe about my response yesterday!
I have to go cos an Oscar monster is calling me to bed (he MUSN'T be well!) and I'm still in PJ's!!
Was a great catch up, thanks, chicks
