Ok ok, so I’m a day late.  Actually, as I’m writing this it’s still friday, but I’ve already got 2 posts up today and I’ll be away all of saturday and not sure if I’ll have access to be able to post… god forbid I miss a day of Blog365!

So here is my Saturday’s feast :P

Appetizer
How many times per day do you usually laugh?
About  10-15 maybe?  That’s an at least I think… hmm.  Dammit now I want to count all the laughs to find out *sigh*  Kinda easy to have lots to giggle at with a toddler around!

Soup
What do your sunglasses look like? Uh, they have 4 fingers and a thumb… Ok so I don’t have any sunglasses atm, so I use my hands as shades… har har I’m so clever eh? ;)

Salad
You win a free trip to anywhere on your continent, but you have to travel by train. Where do you go?
York. Great pubs and plenty of things to do without too much travel!

Main Course
Name one thing you consider a great quality about living in your town/city.  Dundee isn’t a huge city like Glasgow (which, byt the way, still pales into comparison with cities in the US I’m sure!), but it’s not tiny either - you won’t get overwhelmed by it but there are still plenty of shops etc to visit!

Dessert
If the sky could be another color, what color do you think would look best? EH?! What a question! I’ll go with pink cause I love pink skies :)

Awful week I’ve had,
just wanted it all to stop.
No where else to turn.

So off to the doc’s
I went. He gave me happy
pills. Man that’s good stuff!

Off to the country
for the weekend, can hardly
wait! Finally,sleep.

No internet there-
HOW WILL I SURVIVE?? I’m sure
I can cope… can’t I? ;)

Laptop coming too
so I can still write every
day. Thank god for that!

Will miss my boys tons,
but I need a break from them.
Good Luck John - have fun!

have to have a proud mummy moment - Zack pee’d in his potty today!! wooohooo! FINALLY! He’s been asking to sit on it for a few weeks now but so far as refused to do anything in it, preferring to wait till he had his pull-up-nappy-thingys on before relieving himself. He got such a lot of cheers and praise from it, I hope this is the start of him actually taking an interest… it’d be nice to only have one set of nappies to deal with.

Oooh and there’s also the major thing of Max turning back into the enjoyable baby instead of the screamingbabywhowontlethisparentssleep that he had turned into. I’ve noticed him doing a few new things today - he’s constantly trying to pull himself forward, or upright, lifting his head forward, and he’s started purposefully reaching for things that catch his eye. So I guess the past 2 weeks of mayhem have been his brain developing enough for him to do these things. Go figure.

My parents were over today and will be tomorrow. Max has been an angel all day, and only up once last night at the usual time of 4amish for a feed, then back to sleep. The difference in my mood as a result of having more sleep is amazing. I started taking the meds yesterday and have noticed I’m fidgeting a lot more this evening… this happened last time too but sorted itself out again within a couple of weeks. I hope it does the same this time around too!

So… I’m going over to my parents house for the weekend for a break, and I realised this afternoon that I have almost no clean underwear to take with me, and just the crappy clothes left to wear. To top it off J is on his last pair of trousers as is Zack and Max is in his last sleepsuit! There’s gonna be a minimum of 3/4 loads to get done tomorrow/today if I don’t want to have to do it all on sunday! I also need to set a post to go up on saturday as I’m not sure how stable the net connection will be over at theirs. My trusty laptop will be coming with me though so I can always write any ideas I have for blogging while I’m there to copy and paste when I get home.

I’m sure I can last 2 days without the internet… it’s not like it’s going to kill me, right? RIGHT? I can manage, really I can. *hyperventilates*

I am so looking forward to the weekend though, and now I know Max seems to be back to normal sleep-wise I won’t worry about it being too much for J, so I can just sit back and relaaaax.
