Hi all.

Sorry I was MIA. I went up to see my mum for a week. It was very last minute. Anth got a knock on the door at 6am last monday morning to go away working for a week, so I decided that rather than sit here on my own for a week I'd go to the beach!
Went up that day & got back at 9.30 tonight.

We set a new record getting home - 12 hours for an 8 hour trip. Jesse has been really unsettled & screamed most of the way home. We were stopping every 10 minutes sometimes. I'm really tired, but I've been having withdrawals, so I had to catch up!

We are due for the 4 month needles, have to remember to ring & book him in tomorrow.

Jesse's been a bit unsettled all week. On Friday night he was awake every hour. The last 2 nights it's been every 2 hours after midnight. I think he might be feeling better now we are home though. I just put him to bed awake & he hasn't made a sound yet. It's been about 10 minutes. I hope thats all it was & he's a bit happier now.

Came home to an empty house. Anth is away til Tuesday night now. & the car ran out of rego today. Can't do anything about it til he gets home - need his money!!

It was so good to go up there. Mum lives in a little town about 50k's south of Coffs Harbour - Scotts Head. It's so pretty. We didn't get to the beach or the park once this time - they are usually the first thing the kids want to do.
I love it up there. I wish we still lived there, but Anth works here & I don't really want to be travelling 8 - 10 hours every few weeks to see him, so I gotta stay here too. I keep telling myself that anyway!

Jaz was pretty good. We did keep pretty busy up there though. Between visiting friends, kids disco's & just enjoying Nan & Pop, she didn't get much of a chance to play up. & I was too preoccupied to stress about it. Mum's just opened a cafe at a small town theatre, & I went out & helped her out a bit. It felt good to do something like that again. The kids were all there too, but my sister kept an eye on them for me so she didn't have to work!

18 year olds these days!! I keep reminding her that I had a baby, a flat, a partner & a job at her age - she still has the hide to winge at me about her hard life! She lives at home, works for mum, just got a traineeship she's been wanting for years, pays no rent or bills, but lifes still too hard!!

Anyway. I think I'm all caught up. I did skim through, but I'm too tired to catch up properly.
Good night all. I need sleep.
