So am now in bath with Gu mini pud chocolate orange. Any orange smartie fans should try them. Like a massive molten smartie. 
I remembered some of your significant news! Something and Trumpy are chasing Mo's ass in the running stakes. You go girls. And Trumpy if I'd seen a sign saying that I'd have bloody well punched it too. Nonsense.
Yummy when we use disposables (half the time now as like Trumpy I'm giving myself a bloody break some days) we are on naty size five which perform well overnight for us too for twelve ish hours. I guess it comes down to gender and how heavy a wetter they are. My girl barely touches water, maybe one sucky straw cup a day, so there's not much wee about. But before Betty worries, she does have the boob milk too and has lovely squishy poo so I guess she's not dehydrated. That's right Betty isn't it?
Our yurt time was cool. They are such good for the soul spaces. You lie there in a massive king size bed with cotton linen on down bedding looking up through the roof crown and to the gorgeous span of painted poles radiating outwards. I really love the massive circular room and cosiness. Ecotod loved running around and around the yurt on the deck outside. We ate local food outdoors all nights and read loads during naps and when shed gone to bed. Basic stuff is always the best. Our business partners had left a hamper of home grown, home made and local goodies as it is dh birthday. So that was special. And the toddle got lots of time to practice naming animals as the yurts are on a massive organic farm. All in all good. Journey home, packing and unpacking less so. Whatever mental stuff is going on at present is manifesting as anxiety over trips away. Perhaps because of the change to routine that makes me feel like Ecotod will kick off or that I'm being unfair to her. I realise that sounds nuts. Feeling a bit rotten now after a stressful day.
Oh, Wotta, I just remembered, you sounded down. I can identify with how you're feeling. I think the transition from crawling to proper walking is hard on a parent. It changes the landscape of what's possible and how your days roll. That endless need for activity can drive you to distraction. Does he still nap nicely? I carve my days up into chunks. Morning pre nap and afternoon post nap are my windows. I often go to one of the myriad of play parks for one and go for a walk in the other. Different locations for these each day help as does making a call to someone at same time. Hope you feel brighter now?
I have a dilemma at present everyone, so your quick thoughts would be appreciated. I know I need to gain more of a sense of my old self back in order to get towards feeling better. I also know I need to get my professional life back on track. There's a Wednesday eve til Sunday morning conference in the lake district at the start of November. Dh will look after Ecotod and is very supportive. I've never spent a night away from her yet, mostly because of evening and morning milk rather than any other reason. In my delicate state do you think it unwise for me to bugger off for so long? Will I struggle? Will dd struggle? Will my milk dry up? Rainbow have you never had night away from dd yet? What would you do if you needed to go to a conference? Take her with you? For me that's possible but defects the object of gaining some independence and confidence and having some time where I'm the only one I have to look after. Very torn at present and need to let organisers know.
