Alena is back to not only not sleeping, but to being petrified of going to
sleep!!!
She's still awake at 4:58am.
Lately when she sleeps she has nightmares. I just don't know what to do

Last night I had the opportunity to have the house to myself.  My mom wanted
to watch Z and my nephew D.  Well I don't feel comfortable with D around Z.
It's just my gut instinct.  So I declined and Z and I had a nice night.  Am
I nuts?  Do you think I could be over reacting?

Hey guys!  It is *so* nice to be back on line!  I have missed you all!
Short version.....we are in Vermont, living with my parents for nearly two
months now, with me commuting 1.25 hours [in excellent weather and over a
mountain - Bromley] to work.  Everyone is healthy and fine.  ...

DD submitted this crapbook---er, I mean SCRAPbook---layout to a magazine
(Memory Makers?) and they're going to publish it this summer.  The
accompanying poem is a tearmaker -- be forewarned.

Am I remembering rightly that it was you who was reading Dark Tower?
Have you finished it yet?? If not keep reading it <G> I dont know anyone

Sorry to keep you ladies hanging, but I've been either lounging on the
couch trying not to be in pain, or too sleepy from the pain pills.
All I'd read about hernia surgeries just didn't apply to this one!
After what I've gone through, I simply couldn't imagine going back to

For the pommies...
how do you make your trifle??
I just stumbled across a recipe where you pour the jelly over the cake
and then let set...

I lost one pound and now weigh 75.5 kg (166). I'm still *above* the
plateau I was already struggling with back in July/August, so forgive me
for not throwing a parade :-(. The pound difference in weight since last
week might just be a difference in water retention...

Alena weighs 25.8lbs and is 32" tall!!!!
She's huge!!! Well, tall.
The doctor doesn't seem worried about her weight, because she is growing,
and is perfectly healthy!!!

Ty is singing to a song that's on video (yes, I managed to turn Thomas
off!!!!)
He's singing "Tick Cock Tick Cock"
(tick tock)

Well, I got really busy on Friday, and then didn't get online much this
weekend, so I haven't read most of the happy posts, but this evening I
thought I'd post my own.
Family entertainment this evening:

Well DD promised me as part of a deal to clean the whole house and so she went
at it and she cleaned the LR, the kitchen, the bathrooms, the laundry room, the
floors, the furniture even her brothers room - everything just tip top beautiful
..... except her room. (So maybe her room ...

Hey Guys,
I didn't post this on our "Happy Friday" but it did happen that morning.
The weasel is alive and well!  The weasel being my ex-landlord!  James was
off on Friday because we needed tires on his car and Charles and I met him

I was going to send this only to a couple people then decided I might as
well bore a few more of you.   It's not a bad read.
Epiphany to you, Christmas Eve to me.  :-)
