We have had a good week. I worked Monday and Wednesday as per usual, back pain is getting worse, I am going to chat to the doctor about what I can do for it, its mainly at work where I cant lay down, whereas at home i just take time out when it starts to hurt and all is good. Monday I went shopping with Virginia, one of the solicitors at work for Rhias engagement pressie. We decided on a bath set as we know they already have so much! We got a lovely blue Sheridan set which was on special at David Jones which are just devine! So soft and lovely!

I enjoy having Tuesdays to sleep when Caitlin does between working days. On tuesday I dropped the towels over to the embroiderer to get their names put on them as something special so it wasnt just a bath set. Then Caitlin and I had a big nap and in the afternoon we went to the library. Caitlin had a ball as she made a friend to run around the play house with and I sat on the couch and had a little read. We did a little shopping (the library is at the shopping centre, too convenient!) and then went home. Daniel had training so he was home late so Caitlin and I had leftovers and a nice long bath together.

Wednesday was work, Linda the office manager works from home on Wednesdays, and i tell you, it is so quiet and boring without her! But on the up side I got SO much work done that there is now a vague glimmer that i might get it all done before I leave for maternity leave.

Thursday is mothers group day. Both Caitlin and I love mothers group day! This week it was at Amandas grandmas (she is housesitting) and we then went to the park up the road. It was pretty cool and fenced so we didnt need to stress to hard when they headed off into their own little direction. Caitlin had a ball with the girls, 3 of them took off and went 'exploring' and found a tap! Fun for all concerned!!!

Today Daniel was home. We went to the photographers to get a family portrait as we dont have one (I won a $200 voucher when I put my name in at the supermaket, cool hey!) So we got some good pics then Caitlin cracked it adn we left. She had woken up early, I think cause she was cold, and usually I can just bring her into my bed and she will go back to sleep but cause Daniel was there too she got excited and wouldnt go back to sleep! Then I went and had my pregnancy glucose test, it wasnt too bad but it made me sooo tired!!! I went to my old blood nurse (near my old house) as she can get my blood out and understands that it comes out of the vein in my wrist and doesnt bother with my arm first as it always fails, she remembered me and we had a chat. She is really lovely. I went home and slept for like 2 hours, then we went and got some groceries and we had yummo spaghetti for dinner!

Thats my week so far. Oh,and unfortunately Daniels mum just called to tell him that their childhood dog died. Devastating as it was a real shock. The ligaments in both his back legs perished or something and the vet said he had never seen anything like it so they had to put him down. The poor thing. Boofa was her man and its going to really hurt not having him around. Daniel is pretty cut, Boof was technically his dog but by the time he moved out it would have been unfair to move him, plus his mum had claimed him and I doubt she would have let him go. we have a photo on our fridge of him with a party hat on years ago, he was a funny little thing.

Anyway, I just made crunchy fig and apricot slice so I am going to taste test and if it is good I will add the reciepe to one of the groups later!
