Hi girls!

Sherie and MD: as for my dream: well, when i say you were playing....Sherie took a shot, then i wandered off to see what one of our DHs was doing (they were manning the phones of the business*...pardon the pun). then when i wandered back to the pool table the two of you were sitting under the table and i *think* food and drinks were involved...

*not sure what the business was, had something to do with online orders and appeared to be booming. hmmmmm!

MD: mmmmm muffins....

good luck with the jabby jab today. i'd be wanting distraction too! maybe muffins.....

that is so cute of missy E!!! ha ha ha! although the climbing is always a bit hair-raising.

PP: it doesn't look good does it? hopefully she is with her family and they are trying to support eachother as best they can. i too recommend a card and maybe a cooked meal. just letting her know that you are there and can be a shoulder is sometimes enough.
xx hope that you are doing ok too. being a mum and pg really brings stuff like this home.

Oz: oh i sooo KWYM about being far from family for important moments! i hate it as well. for us it was the bummer of mum missing out on Leila's birth and only being able to stay for a week. i get soo jealous of the mums in my group IRL that have their mum/dad around to offer support and free babysitting services. this was really brought home last week having mum there. she is such great support and having someone around that is family is just different IYKWIM.

AFM: all good here. L's conjunctivitis is clearing up. although the pharmacist gave us the ointment rather than the drops and i am finding it really tricky to apply.
L's fav word of the week is 'DONT'. quickly followed by "STOP". uurrghhhh. usually when i have gotten the wrong book or she is bored of the book we are reading. fuss pants that she is.
we had a great moment last night when the sky opened up and we had heavy solid rain (the first in months). leila looked really perplexed and seemed a bit disconcerted at the noise on the roof so i took her outside (she was already in her PJs!!) and we danced in the street under the rain. it was just awesome awesome fun!
