    Sweet as sugarplum,
    Soft as a dove,
    A bundle from heaven.
    To pamper and love,

    And nice things galore,
    For that sweet little someone
    You're sure to adore!
    Congratulations!!!!

  • Good Morning, still haven't caught up! Haven't done much flying as you can see from the list, by the time I get all my dailies done, It's time to prepare the evening meal and keep the kids occupied, I'm trying to make sure DS1 doesn't watch too much TV, but that means he wants me to sit with him and play so doesn't give me much time for flying! Plus I must admit I do get distrated, as I have to watch Deal or No Deal, and get sidetracked by the internet!

    Here's my list anway:
    Dailies
    [strike]Get out of bed and hit the ground flying!

    Give DS1 breakfast
    Give DS2 breakfast
    Check the calendar[/strike]
    What's for dinner?
    Put away dishes
    Recycling
    Empty WM
    Put a load WM on
    Empty TD
    Put TD on
    [strike]HAVE BREAKFAST[/strike]
    Put away Laundry
    Get DS1 dressed
    Get DS2 dressed
    Give DS2 a snack

    Morning all

    welcome to the world Tabitha, you're beautiful :)

    Not really done much at all, although I seem to have been mostly on the move today. No washing, or not enough for a load anyway. I'll do some tomorrow.

    Generally tidied round, washed up, peeled spuds, took the dog out. And watched ER from last night. Just a glimpse of lovely Luka :)

    Oh and I ordered Frontline for the cats and dog.

    Going to finish catching up now.
