Gie's Peace!

We're still not at D Day, but already the constant question "has there been any movement?" is driving me up the bloody wall. By half eleven this morning when I picked up BB from nursery, I think I had been asked something along those lines no fewer than 8 times by 8 different people.

Already I am dreaming up not so witty and sarcastic answers. I mean, really, do people really think that in the last 24 hours since they saw or heard from me that we've popped out another child? On top of that, do they think that I'd not mention the small matter of a new addition at some point in the conversation? It sure beats "fine day today.....better than yesterday......"

To be fair, it's not from close friends and family this time around, they learned their lesson last time around! But at least then MPLST was 2 weeks overdue. This time around it seems to be the local mums. I must work on my cold stare techniques......

And whilst I'm at it.......do people think the world stops spinning when a new baby is coming? The looks we seem to get for daring to leave the house when D Day is so close are startling to say the least. We took the loons swimming today, not exactly an Arctic expedition, and dare I say it, I expect being in a pool made Fatty (as she has become known in SH), a little more comfortable. I did lecture her though so stripping the boiler and trying to repair it earlier though.......

We even that that rare event of a meal without kids last night. I treated MPLST to a belated birthday meal. Could be the last time we get out together for a long time..........
