K - She's stopped having a bottle. She still asks for it every so often so I give her water or cows milk in a glass - she now shares a glass of milk with her doll before brushing her teeth and going to bed every night. Yeah I can remember all those "help me JU" articles

Too their disbelief they fo

In my life, certain names seem to re-emerge again and again; Robert, Kathy, Tracy to name a few. But Debbie, though the name constantly recurs in my life with new introductions, was one of a kind. My dad is Robert, mum is Kathy and my little sister is Debbie - so that's weird <img src="http://images.sta

We're moving on Saturday. We signed the lease yesterday and were supposed to pick up the keys this morning but we didn't. The movers are coming between 10 and 12 on Saturday and I've hardly packed a thing. Because as I was looking around trying to decide where do I begin it occured to me half this stuff isn't suitable for boxes and hence the magic of woolworths/

This song came out when I did graduate highschool and it was played in my last IFC class. At the time you think yeah we'll all be friends forever and we'll keep in touch and nothing will change. But then you leave school and you go to uni and you start jobs and you meet people and you get married and you start a family and you hear this song and you think I still talk to two people from that time and am only really good friends with one of them.<

Two of my favourite blogs are adoption blogs. One is a lesbian woman who has 4 teenage foster/adoption daughters and twin babies that the adoption has just come through for her on and will come through in 6 weeks for her partner. The other is a single (straight) 27yo woman who is foster adopting a broken 9yo girl. All these children were born of heterosexual parents and all of them have been abused - sexually, physically, emotionally. Th

I feel like I've been neglecting Elana. Wednesday I woke up with a really sore throat and a runny nose and constant sneezing - I thought I had hayfever so I took a clarantyne but it did nothing, Nick said go to the doctor I knew better and didn't. Wednesday night we both got NO sleep because I was so stuffed up and congested and just plain gross sick

Sussy - I do that blue first, then orange, yellow, green, red and finally brown. Shades - Cheerios are half the size of "hotdogs" - frankfurters - way back in the day butchers used the give them to kids for free when their parents/grandparents were buying meat. They dond't give them to you any more for heath reasons and most people cook their cheerios instead of eating them raw nowadays.

Elana had her first bowl of "Cheerios" (the cereal not the sausages) this morning she ate the with her fingers it was messy but I allowed it (it was hard not to control her and I did fail at times and spoon feed her in between) But I tried giving her dry cheerios to see what she'd do (all american books/blogs with children have them eating cheerios)
