CHRISTY - thanks for the up date - so sorry to hear your mum is going thru so much pain. So much happening for you. I dont even KNOW where our broom or mop is, that's how much housework i get done these days. Dishes and clothes/nappy washing - that's all i get done. Moving cities, that's huge. Wow, you have got heaps on your plate.

AJP - ARGGGGH! if i had a the energy, i would have a big scream for you! what pressure you are under from MIL. no way should you have to cop that.

VICKY - when if your dh's op?

KIM - glad the CC went well, i didn't realise it was for both of them, i have a hard time leaving ONE bilby at CC, so i would times that by two for you!

TaraLee - sorry honey - here am i wishing YOUR life away LOL, for some bizarre reason, i thought you were due NOW (shaking head), have no idea how i am three weeks out!! sorry poppet, as usual, my maths is terrible. See, i get all excited and clucky for you, and maths goes out the window.

Luaa - are you there? haven't heard from you for ages, hope you are ok, and darling Ella of course.

Me: i had a success of sorts today. It's school holidays, and i took bilby to a community library this morning, even got her there on time, to see a lovely guy perform children's songs, lots of hand movements and little dances, some TSI stuff (torres strait islander), some wiggles, some i coudln't place, but it was all great fun, guy was quite the comedian.

Bilby chose to PLAY WITH CRAYONS, whilst all the other (admittedly older) children joined in. She sorted the crayons from ONE icecream container to ANOTHER icecream container over and over, while this lovely guy sang, played guitar, made everybody laugh, told great stories. Ah well, i tried to provide her with a musical, dancing type experience. At home, she even dances to the end titles of kids shows - but here - NOTHING!!! The session was advertised for 1 - 10 year olds.

but main thing is, i got us out of our four walls, it's a start. that was my success.
