Well I know that you all have been waiting anxiously by your computers for the latest update, and the pressure of this guilt got me up, out of my bed at midnight just to make sure everyone knows what is going on...ha, ha, ha. It wasn't the guilt that woke me. it was a certain 7.5 month old who wanted to scream for mum, even though he ate only a few hours ago. Of course, he falls straight back asleep... blogs are good company for insomniacs. its been a bit of a rough few weeks. Maybe not rough, just exhausting. We have hit major separation anxiety, where only mummy will do and all the time, thank you very much. Plus, I've been running around like a maniac, which means my tolerance and energy is at zero. I can't wait to go to work for a break. Some highlights of the last wee while: At the weekend, we visited some friends and saw their new house. Its huge! Really lovely with a ton of space, but I wouldn't want to clean it. It did get us thinking about moving. I love the location of our house. The price can't be beat either for what we get. However, it is pretty small. I keep having dreams about bigger houses. The problem is we'd have to move to a much less desirable neighbourhood and I am not sure the extra closet space will make up for it. I've also been working hard on the NCT newsletter. I'm taking over as editor. I think it will be OK. THe deadline is fast approaching, so I am a bit panicky about it all coming together. I saw the doctor about my hand and foot. It turns out I have ganglion cysts. The ones in my foot are huge and will require surgery (just outpatient, she thinks). The one in my hand isn't very big, but my inflamed tendon is catching on it, which is why I spend considerable amounts of time not being able to move it and then popping it back in place. Its painful. I also may have one in my hip, but I am going to see a physio to see if I can sort it. driving lessons are going OK. I just want to pass the test, so I am trying to stay positive and not resent the £23.50 per lesson. I think I'll take two more and then just try to get some practice...somehow. I feel the anger building up already. E is sleeping better. He is generally up once or twice a night. Not too bad. The other night, he only woke at 4am. On one hand, it gives me hope. On the other, it makes me resent when he doesn't sleep. He is also pulling himself up on everything he can reach and trying to walk by holding onto objects. He's still not really crawling, but he is determined to walk. Ok. I have to try and sleep. Here is a video of him yelling on a walk. He was so happy to turn and face outward, he yelled in glee the whole way back to the house. Sorry for the staged nature of the walk.
