Arte - please don't think I'm out of line here but I think you need to do something to sort out this sleep situation as it sounds like it is affecting everyone. I would be moving w's bed into your bedroom and butting it right up next to you and leaving it there. Xox

Ginger, not out of line at all xx. Can't fit anything in our room other than our bed (still wondering where this baby is going!). And to be honest, I don't want him in there. More than sleep I need a bit of time by myself. It is affecting everyone though.

(Don't want to get Trill going, but that's one of the reasons i'll never vote Liberal, they just don't give too ****s about our medical system. )

Gee thanks JM, you make me sound like a card carrying Liberal Member ROFL. I agree, but I will say that considering health is run by the States, the Labor party have done a pretty fine job of ****ing things up too No party ever really cares much about health unless there is an election coming up.

I'll keep my eye out for you Cally - wouldn't it be awesome if we did happen to cross paths?

Had such a busy day today. Had preschool, then reading groups, then we had to go to the Candy Stripe fair (run by the anglican church) because E is in the school choir and they were singing, then we got home at 6.30 and I had to clean out and wash the car before I go tomorrow. I'm so tired now and can't wait for bed. We sold more lambs today too and got $191 per lamb - the market was down a bit because Japan is one of our biggest buyers of export lamb and obviously they aren't in the market atm. But we are still more than happy with that money because we thought they would only get about $150.

hi girls!

i'm baaackkkk!

phew, you lot got your chatting socks on while i was galavanting in the tropics!

Cally: sleep strategies for me when i am stressed are the calm birth breathing techniques that i learnt. basically slowing down your breath for an even count of four in and four out, and while doing that being mindful to relax all your muscles, from your eyebrows down. i find if i do say 10 of those i seem to get back in the sleep mojo.

(and i know right! marta is growing up so fast...i cannot believe it)

man, i can't believe how full on that all is for you guys with DHs health scares . i hope that you'll can get some answers soon and treatment underway...that is so full on.

trill: we are a family of slow eaters too. although now i eat with speed due to outside pressures (namely my 6 month old lol). Leila is painfully slow...omg, it drives me batty at times: i'm like, get a pass-out from lala land and join us here back on earth would ya??! lol.

G: what size do bonds stop at?? i wore some awesome trakkies when i was preggers...haha, i musta been stretching those old things out lol.

mmmm lasagne mmmmm. married to an italian and we never have it must rectify that.

JM: we had wee on couch happen here too the other week. you didnt wanna see how ugly i got . man it (pardon the pun) ****ed me off lol. now i am total vigilanti on the wee stops.

Arte: re sleep: i dont know if you've tried 'screaming banshee' tactics?? i seem to have some success with those...
dude, i feel for you with the sleep it is so chop and change with those kidlets. i just dont know what to offer, i'm so sorry
could you mebbe try top up bottles at night for new bubba? (sorry just stealing robin barkers ideas...).

MD: i have heard of light box therapy but what is it exactly??

AFM: well, we arrived safe and sound. back to the cold grey melbourne weather...ho hum.
the girls settled back in quite well. the BIG news is that Marta has now moved to leila's room....and i am feeling a bit sorry for myself about it all . but they love it! they can both fall asleep together awake and that for me, is just sweet. marta still wakes once or twice a night, but i just lie in the bed with Leila feeding her (leila wakes for no one lol).

On my front, i have been busy applying for that graduate round of jobs with DFAT. so there is a slim chance of a move back to canberra

also, my PhD will be submitted on Monday (yes, i am pooing in my pants lol).

hi girls

cass- apparantly Bonds stop at a size 2 now. well, i know i can't find anything above size 2 anyway! LOL i bought J 2 x tracksuit pants and they are fantastic- beautiful and thick and they fit him perfectly- i would've loved to get some for L too.
so how do you feel about moving to canberra possibility? i thought you were really happy in your new home?

we went to a 2yo birthday party today and the boys had an absolute ball. they were really well behaved too! LOL
thanks for the advice on whcih Oobi dress to get- she absolutely loved it and because it's not too dressy i think she'll get heaps of wear out of it over winter.

well the big news here is that a dead body was found in our street this morning, covered in sticks and leaves
