The joy of a sleep in!

What a rare and wondrous treat in this house!!

Elliott is visiting his biological dad for 2 nights...gee the house feels so sad without him! He has such a huge presence and brings so much joy...even when he is sleeping I can feel him. But the upside...2 sleep in's!!!

I feel like I could do just about anything right now. I got up at 10.30am!!! Well, not all of that was sleeping but hell, thats a good thing too lol

Hopefully this added sleep will help me get through the week that is to come...my mum coming to stay for 3 nights (12 hours on a train...bless) so she can be Elliott's special person for special person's day. WE also have book fair this week (did I mention I am involved up to my neck now) which is the start of my training to take over all the Scholastic book club work from next year!

On the subject of mothers...well mothers in law...we went to visit this morning. She has now been sober 2 months and the difference is amazing. She has a long way to go but both Mark and I hoping that the fact that she has to earn her way back into our lives will be enough to keep her on the sober path. Next time I may even let Elliott come along and start slowly showing her we are beginning to trust her again. It would be wonderful to have her back in our lives...but I am very cautiously optimistic.

WEll, time for me to put my energy to good use and go and vaccum the house before Elliott gets home! Am feeeling really good and positive about this whole baby making mission today...lets hope that by end of August I have some thrilling news for you all!!
