good luck with the EPU K - hoping it is able to be scheduled around your DH's wor stuff. i know mine was about 11am and i was well and truly home by 2 (and we had a one hour plus trip). be aware you may not feel up to being alone with kyson though - you will likely go under a GA and they can really mess with how you feel. Being responsible for a toddler could be a little overwhelming. esp if he decides to play up or be a barnacle and all you want is sleep

j - hope you are feeling better soon

Bridg - glad you didn't cop much damage. we got the rain over here but not the damage. had a little hail about an hour ago, but nothing came of it

Nicky - good luck finding warm clothes for A! we have lots of warm stuff for E that we were given - but it hasn't turned cold here yet! it's so horribly muggy and yuk almost every day. E is living in a nappy and singlet unless we go out...

AFU - E loves the great outdoors - went to talk to DH in the garden earlier and she wanted down. after all the talk about bubbas not loving the grass i figured i'd try, she'd hate it and then give up - nope, straight onto her belly and commando crawling through the cut grass after the cat!
