Fi -

I dont know if I could discipline someone elses child unless they were being REALLY bad.

Totally agree there... and I put it off and put it off... but enough was enough - the teacher voice came out! There's only so much I will allow someone else to hurt my child (and she was hurting her and wouldn't let go so I would constitute that as being REALLY bad).... It's frustrating tho... when someone's child hurts your own and all that happens is their parent saying "No dear, we don't do that" while your child is screaming in agony. It's just wrong! Kids will be kids but this little girl (and you probably know who I am talking about) has been given no boundaries and doesn't even understand the word "no". She stares at you blankly when you say it like you are speaking a foreign language.

Bec - ohhh no, poor Eliza!! And poor you with no sleep! Arrrgh! Damn those teeth.

Well... the grout has been done. My sister and her BF dropped over tonight. I've sugar-soaped the ceiling in preparation for painting. If I don't get called into work tomorrow, I'll get stuck into that. God help me!! LOL

Fi, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't discipline them unless it was totally necessary. And if as inthe case of the girls jumping on the bed, I simply told them not to and to get off Noah's bed as we don't jump on beds in this house.Nobody could get upset with that surely. Have fun makig your wheat bags. What do you use them for?? As in heat packs?

Deb, woohoo on getting the grouting done. Fingers crossed you get a chance to get that ceiling painted. Now all you have to do is bite your tongue and not tell Neil before he gets home.

Bec, sorry to hear that Eliza's not well. Here's hoping that darn tooth comes through really soon. Eww at catching spew too, I have been there way too many times over the years. Still, it's better than catching poo

Not alot happening around here, not that it's a bad thing. Tehya has a bit of a cold, enough to disturb her sleep. Like she needs an excuse to wake up over night.. SHe is learning more words, it seems a new one pops up every other day. Such a funny chook to watch too. I just wonder what goes through her head sometimes. She's quiet a menace and theres nothing she won't climb or get into.

Better go, Joel still hasn't got his butt out of bed for school and Brandon is dragging the chain as usual. Kids, hey, who'd have them.
