Isn’t Cloudehill just wonderful? It has the first Red Border that actually inspired rather than nauseated me.

I slid down a cliff on my bum this weekend too. Must be something in the air … uh, soil? … right now.

Dear Claire, I had my eldest start school this week!!! And I didn’t just cry when I got home, I bawled my eyes out! My middle son statred 3+ activitiy group and this is only 2 hours a week, but I had another bawling session anyway. I am sure Amelia will love going to pre school. I am having baby number 4 in August, I’m not sure if I told you already or not.

As a stay at home mommie with a traveling hubbie I relish adult moments. You bring smiles and a not too serious light of insperation to my days. Thank you

My older boy has been going for almost six months now. The first days are hard the pride and fear welling up inside; but the teachers understand, and when you stop by just to peek through a door or window to “make sure” they smile with that knowing smile of women who have seen and done the same thing many times. After a short time you realize that you have a few precious hours to accomplish or rest (we all know how a sigh of relaxation can bring a child in need running). Remember your first day and think of the adventures she sees ahead. And may your cooler have the power of three in the hot days of pregnancy.

I’ve just discovered your site and love reading your blog… my little chickie (14 months) has just started daycare & its been such a wrench… also feel guilty because I long for just a little time to myself to pursue my creative endeavours & business. Anyways, finding your site has really cheered me up, & I’m gonna try an iron supplement too :>)

I have a feeling that January is sucking the energy out of most good-standing citizens. It certainly is for me. Maybe it’s just a natural post-December come-down. And the strange Melboune weather of late is defintely part of the equation.

I think the hardest part for me is like what surfingfree said: that there will be a universe of things my son will experience without me. He can’t even sleep a full night without me right now! (He’s 2)

Bit, sounds like a you have a courageous girl on your hands, and I am sure you are, too. Glad to hear of the lovely day.
