Congratulations Roxxie - that is wonderful news. I hope you're enjoying your honeymoon (I've been stalking you on FB - checking out your photos, it looks like you are all having a great time!).

I am completely and utterly over teething (plus he has a cold so it's twice as bad). I said to DH last night that we are just going to have to ride it out. There are no routines, no rules, nothing in place at the moment. I just let Robert lead me and hope that we get through it. I had a flash last night of me sitting with Robert on my lap being rocked to sleep ....when he's 12. It made me laugh and I know that it won't go on forever and when the poor wee poppit just wants cuddles from mummy who am I to deny him!

I had my in-laws staying with us for a week and, can I just say, if they left last Sunday it wouldn't have been too soon ....and that's about the nicest thing I can think to say so I'll leave it at that!

No, I can't do that: They are leaving today so finally I won't have to cook, clean and entertain two extra people. Oh they were so loooooooooud!! They turn the telly up really loud so they can hear it and then they talk OVER it!! We went to the Australian War Memorial and while we were watching a show my FIL decided to talk. There was a lady next to us who kept giving the evil eye so I said to DH, if you want to chat how about you both leave. He just stared and me and I said, tell your father to shut-up! Another time I was trying to get Robert to sleep and I mean, honestly, how many times can you possibly walk past a nursery banging doors as you go (Robert's room is at the front of the house and they had their caravan out the front). Then to add insult to injury he opens up the door, shoves his head in and says (in a loud voice) I've just put the kettle on would you like a cuppa?! WTF?!!!! I'm putting the baby to bed. He also woke Robert up the other night because he was looking out the front lounge window (to check on the blasted caravan). He did say, "as soon as I heard the baby I went back to my room" (he laughs - ha-ha-ha-ha!). So I said, oh, so you wake the baby (who isn't sleeping properly) and then go back to your room to bed while I spend the next hour and half trying to get him back to sleep!!

There are about 100 more stories I could tell you but I will most likely sound like a complete cow and typical b***h of a daughter in-law!

Phew! That feels better!!
