I have had the best day. Aston went to his second day of day care, and I painted all day.feel like I achieved heaps. I turned classical music on loud, and disappeared. Was wonderful.

Aston had a great day too - painting for the first time. He is getting used to the rythm and routine of day care. Daddy of course wanted to pick him up at 11.30 lol. But I managed to get him to wait til 3.00

Laura and nathan are back at school tomorrow. and rich is back at work. so I will have the house back to myself!

Finally feeling like I have come out the other side of this slump that I have been in. Thank god!

Tara - i felt that way when I was pregnant with Nathan - like i was going to burst!

Jols and Kim - i am watching aston right this minute having a tantie... and I am trying very hard not to laugh. He wants to go outside, and its wet, so he can't. so he has thrown himself on the floor, and screaming. I have a friend who has got that book, and she says its great.

Blanche - how you doing darlin?

Christy - I hope you were able to have a nice birthday, in amongst the sadness. I'm thinking of you hun. Once the dust settles, and I get my car back, we will organise a get together at north lakes.

Gigi - well done hun on getting a F&V shop done. I know what its like in the midst of feeling crappy to not know a) where to start b) not have the energy or the inclination to do anything anyway and c) want to run away and hide.... small victories do wonders for our head space darlin. reach over and pat yourself on the back.

Ann - are you still about darlin? is everything ok?
