Hello Everyone,
I have just got in from been away from a weekend of trout fishing with DH, DD and another couple and i am absouluetly knackered but missed BB so thought i'd pop on quickly. Was expecting lots of new posts in here but i guess everyone is very busy. We had a lovely time although i think i need a holiday to recover. I ended up playing the role of mum to everyone as i'm sure most of you can imagine. The DW of the other couple we went with has no children and is not a very maternal person, she also had a cold (sore throat) so spent most of the weekend in bed leaving me to look after both DH's with meals (and cleaning up after them) and of course looking after Mia who was more work than normal. I didnt expect her to look after Mia for me but as she was in bed i felt i had to try and keep Mia quiet.....veryhard to do in a wooden cabin no bigger than a shoe box! Mia was also very unsettled as it was very cool so we spent most of our time cooped up indoors and no matter how many layers of clothes i put on her i couldnt get her to stop shivering. It didnt help either that she was in the same room as DH and i. She is a very independent sleeper at home so i think our presence in the room if she stirred caused her to wake. Well sorry to go on for so long i guess i needed a bit of a vent!

Well we are still going well with no dummy. I did try to give her one i took away with us as an emergency during the night when she was very unsettled but she shook her head and said no. I left it lying around and in her reach and she was never interested in it. Amazes me how quickly she seems to have forgotten about it.

I'm counting down the days til i finish up work and cant wait, i am starting to feel over been pg but i'm sure its just cos i'm working so much and still trying to be there full time for Mia. It's been a tough couple of weeks as i am in a job share roll but the lady i job share with has been on stress leave for 8 wks and then handed her notice in on Fri but is taking the 4wks notice she gave off as sick as well! Not very fair i am only working PT but doing a FT job in the hours i am there. I am having to bring lots of paper work home etc so the stress is coming home with me. Oh well i finish up on the 20th so 2 weeks from thursday.

well sorry its such a long post and no personals guess i needed to have a couple of vents and generally a chat to someone, i assumed someone out there may understand where i am coming from
