hi girls
i'm going to try even harder to keep up on this thread but not making any promises!

guess where DS is? oh yes! he's in bed!!!! this is the first time ever that he's been upstairs on his own asleep It took 3.5hrs and I've lost count on the number of times I've been up there but hey, its a start. He's actually in my bed so not sure where I'm sleeping if he doesn't wake up before I want to retire

i need a christmas name! Anyone got any ideas?

i've just reread my post, and i'm laughing! what are the chances of DS not waking up before I'm ready for bed? so remote! he's still waking up countless times (at least 5!) every night. my mantra is "this too will pass"!

miamla · 05/12/2008 21:43

I loved it in Cancun!

StMiamlas bearing in mind your RL name? or is that just too obscure.

miamla · 05/12/2008 21:51

oops, who do you remember my RL name?! i'm seriously impressed! i have to check the list on FB whenever anyone messages me on there! I'm liking your christmas name idea, possibly a little obscure

SazzlesIsASleighBell · 05/12/2008 21:53

I think miamyrrhla was an ok effort, no?

miamla · 05/12/2008 21:54

miamla · 05/12/2008 21:54

dizzyjingles · 05/12/2008 22:13

ok, so DH and I had a minor 'niggle' before he left to go to work - my fault, my hormones and over reaction etc

DH is a very calm laid back lovel bloke who doesn't argue at all bless him

have sent text hours ago and heard nothing

ok, possibly he's been run off his feet as the shift is RIDICLIOUSLY short - past bordering on dangerous tbh is down right appauling but thats another rant for another thread

so tell me I'm being paranoid and he's not really annoyed with me
