Morning all! My Christmas holidays are finally here. Christmas show at school went well but it was a loooong week and I found it hard not seeing M at all for 2 days. Still, DH and I are both off for the next 2 weeks so plenty of time for family fun.
I know what you mean about teeth Duck - every time I look in M?s mouth there seems to be a new one!
I didn?t even get Christmas PJs for M Cheshire - the elf ones I thought were really cute were nowhere to be found. But DH?s aunt has given us a present for M to put under the tree (and I know they?re pyjamas!) so we may have to open that one on Christmas Eve. I have new Christmas PJs for me as well and hot chocolate and marshmallows for us to enjoy with a Christmas film on Monday (DH is a total humbug, but if he wants marshmallows he will have to put his santa hat on 
)
My best friend lives in Auckland pen so we would def spend at least a week around there. When DH and I first met we went up to Bay of islands, but he hasn?t been to the south island before so we would like to spend at least 2 weeks down there travelling a bit (even though it?ll be winter!). I have 7 weeks holiday but DH will probably only be able to 4 weeks off, which is the only thing limiting us. We?ve been saying we want to go for ages and I figure now is as good a time as any. (and it?s my consolation prize since we?re not ttc!)
M?s draws are full of clothes that are too small for him sassy - I don?t have the strength right now to go through them, and I know the cupboard is packed full of muslins. (and btw at Christmas it?s never too early to have a drink ).
I have given up trying to look even remotely glam. At the Christmas show at school I was rehearsing all day and after school with kids. At about 5 I grabbed 20 mins for myself to get changed (no point getting dressed up when I would be running around backstage for the whole show so just changed my top) and do my face/put my lenses in. My colleagues then all told me how tired I looked (probably because I wasn?t hiding behind my glasses anymore) and I couldn?t avoid being herded onto the stage at the end to get my flowers, drenched in sweat/hair scraped back/shiny face. Everyone else was in their glad rags (it?s one of the few big events in the year where all the parents pitch up) and the contrast between them and me was not pretty! 
Tally I hope S?s okay. These things happen.
DH is round painting at his parents? today. Have just put M in bed. No vomit since Monday, but I think he?s constipated. He hasn?t had a poo since Wed evening. What can I do to help him out?
My house is a tip, I didn?t get any of my marking done last week so if I don?t do it this weekend it?s going to hang over me the whole holiday! I?m not sure where to start today!
