Hi all. Just a quick update as the ILs have just arrived and I have to go out shortly. No personals except good wishes to all those having a hard time.

I had a really good time last night. I put a nice top on to go out and Jack said "Pretty Mummy, Mummy pretty"! I nearly cried it was so beautiful. I don't even know how he knew to say something like that - you know to recognise that I'm dressing up etc. His carer from day care sat with the boys and they were both good as gold. Tom went down before I left and didn't wake up until we pulled up in the driveway - how's that for timing!! Jack didn't cry when I left, in fact he told Rachel quite happily after I'd gone that "mummy is with daddy". He went down to sleep with no fuss, just like he would if we were home and he didn't wake up until 7am (thank goodness for the mini sleep in!!). We enjoyed the party - I only had 2 g &t s and both were half shots so really only one drink. It was still good and meant that I could feed Thomas without worrying about a bottle except for the first feed when we just got home.

My day today is a bit stressful. I'm tired from a late night and of course MIL and FIL are here and BIL is arriving tomorrow. FIL has to see the doc today but his op from 5 years ago now looks to be failing and he might lose his leg so MIL is very stressed. I just hope they find their own place soon, I feel very selfish but I don't need this right now. Also DH is very stressed about FIL and also work - there has been some real poo hit the fan this week. (Notice I don't use swear words anymore, I try not to even think them - this is what happens when you have a little parrot in the house (ie Jack LOL!)).
