Hi everyone,

Apologies again for the rant last night. But, gee, I feel soooo much better for it.

Last night we vacuumed the house, got the dogs beds outside, this morning I was at our local Coles (waiting for the doors to open at 7), came home, washed one of the dogs twice with the flea stuff, put the flea stuff on her after that, fed Darcey, now washed the other dog twice, have done two loads of washing, getting ready to bomb the house at midday (the funeral is at 12.30pm, so good timing).

Changed Darcey this morning, and realised she doesn't have anything to wear to the funeral today. I mean she does, but all her 'nice' things are in the wash, she only has 'around the house' type things (e.g. Bonds purple and grey stripe all in one etc). So, went to the next drawer in her tall boy and pulled out some new clothes. All the nice 000 items are still miles too big. She has a number of PUmpkin Patch size 0 - 3 months. Tried one on for size....still very big, but we're going to wear one of the outfits regardless today. It's either that or the bonds outfit. My little girl really is quite little.

My DH is actually looking forward to the funeral. Strange I know, but this arm of his family are kind of estranged, well, they really keep to themselves, don't mix with the other part of his family, so he's looking forward to seeing them, find out how everyone is. Oh, and show off Darcey. I am so lucky to have such a loving DH, who just adores his daughter. When we were pregnant, he kept saying how much he wished it would be a girl. Hmmm, better have two outfits ready for Darcey. Sometimes her Dad changes her into 'prettier' things. So funny.

Is anyone's little one giggling yet? Darcey has only had one little giggle, when I said she was stinky, but apart from that, hasn't yet had open giggles. She squeals with delight, but no giggles.

Anyway, got lots and lots to do...got to organise a plumber...doing the last rinse on the last dog, and the laundry tap has started to leak from the wall *sigh*. What a great time we're having at the moment.

On a much brighter note, I have the most beautiful little girl smiling at me and talking to me right now. I think its time for play, and lots of it.

Take Care,

Petal
