Hi girls!! I finally got a chance to read all of the posts I missed...
Donna - wow, what a work place! Is it a really massive pharmacy that has several stores (like a franchise?). I can imagine that from a business owners perspective it must be horribly disappointing to have your business go that way too. Happy staff with great morale -> great business... it seems that they need to realise that a bit more, particularly when someone as nice as you is feeling that bad... Sounds like you REALLY need to get out of there asap. When do you think you'll go? Sounds like your tupperware is already overtaken your wage?
Kirsten - good luck with organising your party. For DD's 1st birthday I just had a little one with my mother's group, which was easy. Her 2nd birthday I organised a bigger party with the whole family, at the local pool. For DS I didn't even have a 1st birthday party. We just enjoyed it with our immediate family (i.e. the four of us). I find I miss out on the enjoyment a bit when I stress over a party and couldn't see the point when he wouldn't get it anyway. Not saying that a party isn't good, just giving an excuse for me not having organised one, I guess LOL. I'll give DS a party when he's three this year. I'm also trying to instill in my kids that they don't get a party every year. DD is having one this year (aged 6), which is her second 'major' party. We've always done a little party each year with my mother's group though, but that's just some basic party food - fruit platter, fairy bread, cocktail frankfurts and tomato sauce etc etc and cake, and lots of balloons. Simple basic stuff in the back garden.
Amy - how's that speech going??? Are you enjoying writing it?
Jade - great news on your first sale - I bet you enjoyed it!
Nic - physie sounds like great fun! I've never heard of it. I know what you mean about the price of dancing lessons though... we pulled DD out for cost reasons. The price of the lessons is one thing, but tickets for the concerts throughout the year really adds up! We're going to be going to scouts soon (starts age 6) so I can't wait to see how Jenn enjoys that. I loved brownie's as a kid and learned SO many life skills, so I am really hoping the same for my kids. I'll be really disappointed if she doesn't like it.
I've been pretty tired lately. Burning the candle at both ends, but I really have a lot to do for the next few weeks, then hopefully it'll lighten up a bit. Oh I have to run. My still sick little boy is asking for a 'big cuddle'.
