Squid, I hear you!! DS has seemed to formed the opinion that because mum is home she can pick up the slack and he can be let off doing his chores. Mind you he is a wonderful kid, he just needs a "gentle" reminder (or maybe a kick up the bum). He turned 15 today (he's at cadets on a camp at the moment but he'll be home in a couple of hours).

I really can't wait til DH gets home ... only 40 sleeps to go! I'm starting to struggle with the little day to day things that need doing. I'm feeling a little isolated and haven't heard at all from DH's family (my family are all over in the East). I was just talking to my mum and asked if she would fancy popping over to babysit so I could have a couple of hours of undisturbed sleep. Oh well, only 12 more days and she'll be here. I sleep crappy anyway with DH away so add a very hungry baby to the mix and I don't sleep at all.

Oh dear, I'm rambling.....

Better go rescue DS's birthday cake out of the oven.

Keep gaining that weight Chakotay!!
