tania - oh no at Chris not seeming veryu interested or supportive of the pregnancy, that must make things very hard in your household. LOL at your patronising him, bet that makes him happy! Sometimes "fathers" find it a litle too easy to ignore their children dont they?! For some reason (probably the childs survival) mothers arent as easily able to ignore their children. hope Chris was in a better mood when he got home.

nat - yeah i figure is i enroll him at every school that i like then we will at least get get a decent choice whent he time comes. The 2 private schools in our town are R-12 too, but actually it seems to be the trend that kids start moving over to the public high schools in year 11....not quite sure why, quite a few kids did the move when i was in high school and apparently it is still being done now...will have to investigate the reasons behing the moves..Do you know what kindy Em is going too? We have a public kindy almost next door to us and its the best in town, Arch is enrolled there, but i have an appointment with the prvate kindy next week to check it out, it is already almost full for his year! How many cousins does Em have, do they go to a school near you? It would be good for him to go to a school where he knws other kids. It looks like my uncle and aunty and their 6 and 3 year old boys are moving here from victoria in the next couple of months so i think it would be nice for Arch to go t school with them, they are trying to get them into a really gorgeous little country school, so that might sway our decision when the time comes too. it feels so good to get all the bills paid finally doesn't it, our pile is going to be gone by the end of this month i reckon, i cant wait, we haven't been bill free for a few months now, and im sick of looking at the ever increasing pile.

leanne - fantastic to hear that you and your family are all good. Hope katy went off to sleep with out too much trouble tonight.

When i was on the computer earlier today, Archie found a heap of bubble wrap and took it outside to have a play. After a while i could hear him coming inside saying "cool, cool" then he sidled up to me with the bubble wrap, wrapped around him like a dress and looked up at me, puffed up his little chest and exclaimed "cool, mum, cool!" he is starting to get such a fun little personality.

Archie is up to day 3 without a day sleep OMG, what if its gone for good!!!! Im sure there will always be days for a few more years where he'll need to have a bit of a catch up sleep, but it really seems as if the regular day sleeps have disappeared. he actually copes really well without them too, gets more emotional than usual at times of extreme frustration, but generally still manages to follow instructions, use manners and not whinge too much. We shall see what the rest of the wek brings...

Got a letter of acceptance from Uni today, was pleased that i got in even though im not doing that course any more, would love to do Bach of Education one day, but would have to go to the city for that, and im not that keen to do it! We have a Uni campus down here now but they only offer 3 degrees, Business, Nursing and Social Work, none of which really interest me unfortunately.

Gosh i am blabbering on,
