Hiya, don't feel like Iv'e been here for a bit!! Just wondering how you all are doing, and what you've been up to? Life hasn't been to bad, quite calm actually (calm before the storm!). Zoe is two on sunday, can't believe my baby is growing up!! I feel like blubbing, lol. It's been the half term holiday last week, so i've spent most of the time catching up with people i don't see very often! Anyway, hope you all are okay and all the kids, take care XXXX

Hi Rach,
How are you?
Things here busy as ever, Abby(my youngest) has been having night terrors and it has left her and me completely drained.
Michael my eldest is being naughty at school, I found out today that he put a toilet roll down the loo at school...............Don't ask me why but god help him when he gets home!!!(he doesnt know I know yet!!)
He's been really, really defiant too which is very wearing as its hard to know exactly how to deal with it, Oh and to top it off he has descovered LYING!!!! Not just little white ones but big daddy size monsters aaaarrrrgggghhhh. I tried to explain that theres no need to lie and if he just says what hes done or whats happened straight away it won't seem so bad (does he listen..no...I hope its just his age and not my parenting!!)
Natalie is sleeping like an angel, she goes to sleep straight away so that is a 100% improvement from a few weeks ago. I do think she is far more settled after school now. At least I have one happy child at the moment lol!
Happy birthday to your lo. I know what you mean about them growing so fast Abby will be 3 next month, It is very strange not having nappies to change or bottles to make.I do miss it.
Having older children brings a whole new load of problems and the question is how the bloody hell do I deal with them?!!!
Oh well!!
Look after yourself hon.
