hi girls!

G: i totally also think the silent witness guy is H . O . T. ha hahahahaha...is it bad that that's part of the reason i watch it?! LOL! oh my goodness he is luscious lol.
this thursday would be lovely but L is at creche...so kinda defeats the purpose ROFL!...although it *could* mean coffee and cake without the need to share bwahahahaha.

Arte: oh man, that is alot of wake time at night...maannnnn. good friends of ours had this too with their two boys. unfortunately both of the kidlets were sleep resistant...all i can say is that they survived and the two boys are an absolute joy. but it did play a BIG part in their decision to stop at 2. she said that they blew the springs out in their bed from all the rocking. by the time we met them (ages 4 and 9) the kids were perfect sleepers. i dont *think* they had any magic tricks, i think it was just that one day it clicked and the boys started sleeping...

JM: woot woo on the TTCing! wishing you all the best!

Cally: ouchies! i remember finding a tick on the hairline at the front of my head when i was about 11. and man it hurt, had to get opa to pull it out. but had been there AGES (from what i could gather) as it was dead and flattened...how i didnt notice it before...

AFM: well having another day at home. enjoying it lol! and yep, i SOOO slept well last night, although had the strangest dreams...funnily enough involving my family members morphing into wild animals (penguins and the like) lol.
also, i got a call from my mum today re my Oma, and it now appears that the last stroke has, in a way, relieved her a bit. she has lost her memory and the hossy has diagnosed her with dementia. i know that it sounds weird that it is *kinda* good news; but it has meant that she is no longer on the meds...she can't remember her 'need' to take them and is not in any pain, so her body is getting a rest. also she now believes that i am only 16 etc and still in highschool and she is well, happy. she cant remember all the yuk stuff of her sister passing away 2 years ago and is not in that level of grief and suffering. it is hard on Opa though as it is a big shift for him and in a way she isnt really there. Also, the painful part for me is that she no longer remembers Leila. but again, this is my pain, not hers. and i know that she loved Leila and this is not a reflection of that at all. i am just kinda happy that Leila is too little to realise ITMS. it would be much harder if she was say, 9 years old and having to deal with that...
