    Ha ha, I just had a mental image of you literally juggling a baby and a toddler then! Quality skills!

    Not too bad, just keeping my head down and getting on with it! Half way done now! Woohoo!

    CBW... I just had a mental picture of a juggler with boobs, bottles and diapers and it was funny. Wish I had the talent to draw that one...

    Love you all and know you can handle it because kids are worth all the sacrifice you give - if you are lucky to be recipient of the rewards later.

    Hahh that's great. And then there's my son, that follows my littles around, saying " ew! he's stinky!:" then stiffs him and makes another gross face and goes " eww! he's stinky!" hah, and of course this goes on until I change him. He thinks its hilarious to give such dramatic reactions to his smelly diapers hahaha... boys. They are just so different from girls

    Oh my goodness, I couldn't even speak for several moments after seeing this Laura.

    This is the most precious picture I have ever seen. Look how safe and happy he is being in Little Misses arms and look how happy and proud and full of love she is.

    I would blow that one up.

    Two precoius gifts there :). He looks like a little angel.

    Millie has grown so Laura.

    Now my dear when your day gets a little frazzeled you just pull this picture out and forget all the rest. I think I will do just the same.

    Be proud!!

    You just made my evening wonderful!

    This is one evening I'm going to forget TV and just enjoy that site till the cows come home.

    I might ask you to send that song to my brothers because I don't have an account with U-Tube.

    Thanks again darling, I'm crying tears of joy right now, thanks to wonderful you.

    I think I should post this one on PG roll call just to show moms that their girls can make a whole lotta noise and get paid well for it.

    If I'd have heard Candy while PG, who knows, she might have played more than just the flute in school.

    YouTube - Candy Dulfer - Lily Was Here

    The movie version is what got me to like this lady and she's getting better all the time. This one is still the best though, let me know if you think so too.

    YouTube - Lily was here

    Both are the same song,, but oh how different.

    Night,night. P.S. Chery was here!

    Hehehehehe I think the one thing millie must have heard constantly when she was in me was a cat purring hehehehe as for theo well he will have heard her motor mouth all the time giggle.

    With me it was a lot of country music and the Doobie Brothers cause she was born in Goergia, but when Jaime was PG my Larry used to love to lay on her tummy and listen to the baby and he'd to purred like there was no end to a sewing machine. She was always full of cat hair when she left... It must have been love at first heartbeat - that's how cats recognize what else is in their 'territory'. I bet your babe feels comfy with the purrs too now.

    Now, since I can't walk too well, I imagine I'm walking through a big city at night with highheels and shaking my bum to this song... it's an escape and lots of fun, since I lived a few miles away it seems I go back through time..

    YouTube - L.A. night - Lily was here this is another one with just LA at night and no people.

    And then Larry wakes me up with his purrs - but I love him too.

    He is so nosey chery when one of the boys is near and there purring he will open his eyes and look about lol unlike millie is still has the right effect on her :D.

    How are you feeling generally hunny?

    Feeling pain, and tired of this planet, but don't worry, I'll still be about for a while tying up loose ends and making amends where they need to be made. It's not just the cancer, but my hips and knees are killing me (pun). I'm not really ready to take those super painkillers they want to give me yet cause I still need a clear mind.

    Last week, one of my neighbors and I smoked a special cigarette and we talked and laughed all night, had the munchies like crazy and it was nice, but wouldn't want to make a habit of it - but it was nice for a change to be able to just escape. I didn't even have any idea that he 'indulged' now and then, his mom told him about my problem and he just decided he'd reveal his secret herbal cure... I don't judge because some of the patients in my group use medicinal Canabis, but it's not for me yet... it is something to think abou though. Thanks for asking hon.

    How are your stitches healing? Promise me you won't strain yourself, OK? Leave the laundry basket where it is and let Ben carry it for you. Tell him I said so...

    Night,night.

    Hell anythings worth a try isn't it, if it minimises the pain what the heck you just make sure your comfortable and happy everything else can whistle in the wind.

    I'm amazed you have gone back to work so quickly here the government pays working mothers to stay home for 6 months to be with there kids.

    My daughter also had 8 blessed weeks, but she had to use up sick-leave that she saved for a long time. She's under US Citizen job. The Germans get up to 3 years if they can manage with only 60-70 percent of usual salary, and they can split this time up with their husbands, or the fathers of the kids. That is what my ex-son-in-law is doing with his new daughter - kind of like getting money for being unemployed. He has no job, but owns two houses and one flat, so he does not get unemployment and is complaining that he cannot make it through each month. I cannot even pay the rent this month due to med bills and medications, and between waiting for official retirement. If I went now, my poor daughter would have to foot the bill to burn me, and that is something I never intended.. but she can sell some pretty nice things to make up for the financial loss. I guess the best laid plans of mice and men apply here.

    The hardest part of being an employed Mom is having to give your baby to another woman in those early impressionable years - and you miss out on a lot. I was lucky to be with mine for 5 years at home before I had to give her up. Society today makes it difficult on some of us, but they are a blessing and we should never feel guilty for wanting to make a comfy home with lots of love for them.

    Bless all of you for having the pleasure of being moms in the first place. Some are not that lucky... so always look on the bright side and give your babes a great big hug for me...

    The government allows us to take up to 12 weeks, but it is not paid. I could only afford to be off 8. we are lucky that we work opposite shifts, so one of us is always here with the kids. No daycare this time around.
