MD - Thanks for the tip re the pain relief. We are back to the doctor next week, twice before we go, so I'll ask if needed. I am planning on a practice run of the cake this weekend as well.

Leanne - Olivia is a little darling. I LOVE her party dress. I am planning on keeping my eyes open when we are o/seas for a party dress for M. Well done with the cake!

Well I cracked it big time at DP last night, at 2am. I know I shouldnt complain I guess, but I have been so sleep deprived for a few months now and this latest illness of Maddie's is really taking its toll on me. No wonder I am getting warts coming up on my hand EW!! So anyway cracked it at DP as he rarely gets up to help. He says I have to work, as soon as he says that I mostly lay off because its only fair that I do the late night duty when he has to get up for work. Last night though I gave him a piece of my mind, and he stormed out the door this morning. Too bad. I am going out tonight for work, planning on having a few to drink, so he is on night duty tonight and we'll see how he goes. Bahaha I am a b**** arent I!?

I had grand plans for fathers day, I bought everything I needed to do a hand or foot print into some clay for DP and also for the grandfathers. Well I spent half an hr kneeding the clay to make it softer and got no where, so cracked it and gave up. LOL. I AM HAVING A BAD DAY! So M is asleep atm, when she gets up I'll dig out the finger paints and some canvas and give that a go...wish me luck last time it was a messy nightmare.

Went back to the doc today and M's ears are still really inflamed. Ahhh I hope these antibiotics kick in soon. Poor hun.

sorry for the lack of personals.
