I thought y'all had run for the hills...for some reason i have not been getting notifications on this thread????

Thank goodness you are all still here! phew!

*crap, just read back i have missed LOADS!*

MP: always the way: get a moment for yourself and the odd jobs start poking up and beckoning you lol. hope the wardrobes look fabulous and tidy though...i get a real kick out of the (temporary) order of my kids room lol.
ohhh day spa...if only. bring me too!
how's Js head?

and wahoo on the promotion! i wonder if they got wind of your almost move away?? something like that can serve as a quick kick up the bum for those sitting on their laurels taking you for granted.

Cally: whhhaaattt??! how many rehearsals? that is insane! poor Marta has to make do with once a week practice for her dance concert...but hers will be awesomely craptacular hahahaha. please dont tell me that you have to make costumes...i might just feint from the mere thought lol.

Arte: it is awesome-sauce to see you back! i meant to text you the other day...but then wasnt sure if that was stalkerish lol.
i too will be flying solo soon as DH jets off for a fabulous time in the US while i am stuck here...packing the house. i am rotten jealous. he gets to eat tasty taco and i get to cook every meal every day and it will be boring.

MD: oh i used to LOVE little As! i would like to get leila into that once the move is over. i hope that there is one close by.
how many trick or treaters did you get? we had a good haul for our annual street halloween. around 100 kids i reckon. it was pretty fun! Miss L dressed up as a vampire bat witch and Miss M was a witch and Miss E and myself were spiders.
a bit of a Yay for promotion but a bit of a boo for it meaning that you are stuck with sucky job and the hardships that it brings on your family xx now that we will have a massive house in the country you will visit us whenever he is away, 'kay?!

AFM: have begun busily packing. the mere prospect is so daunting, i am so frightened that i wont get it all done in time.
But! i am all enthused for the move (I spent a couple of weeks there in tears at the thought of the big life changes ahead and not wanting to risk it all ITMS) again as we got to see the new house again...ahh bliss! it reminded me of why were doing it and what it represents for our new life. i hope that we get to realise some of those whimsical dreams

Miss E is ONE! Can you believe it?! i am in shock lol! i have spent so much of her first year just in survival mode, that really, i feel i have missed out a bit on the baby part IYKWIM. the fantastic news is though that she has been seizure free for almost 9 weeks! and boy oh boy what a fabulous change in her there has been! she now has energy to play and laugh and chat. it is really, quite confronting now as we reflect on life over the last year of just how not well she really was. we have no answers as to what has been going on with her at all. it has been a very scary place to be, watching her go through it and not knowing what to do and how to help: and simultaneously having the hospital tell you that it is unfortunate but not life threatening and therefore to just go home and suck it up (ie: she'll get over it). i get it, i really do, they deal with really sick kids, but by gosh miss E was not great, one of her worst periods was 72 hours where she had in excess of 80 seizures a day...for three days. it was ugly. but since then (september) we have been home free. the change in her is immeasurable.
