update

busy, busy, having to earn my keep, pay the mortgage, raise a son, you know, the usual. I'd consider retiring, but the Romabíll failed her MOT this morning. On the other hand, pupo's complaint with little chef is now with their legal team, so who knows? Maybe we'll get a big enough pay off for a new car. Then again...

Work is hectic, trying to run a law school with no money. Home is good. Pupo is adorable. Babysitter is booked and hubby and I have a "date" tonight for the first time in months. We'll go to the movies and might splash out on a wee dram afterwards.

I'm probably off to Washington, DC next month, courtesy of my students who happily won a moot court competition and are off to the finals. I'm the "coach" and they beg me to go. No, really, they beg me. Next year, I'll need to find them a competition in Barbados. Did I tell you hubby and I nearly moved to Barbados? Ah, another time...

Hmmm... I think I should be offended.

That's amazon for you. Well, my friend got offered his heart's desire on amazon. And here's me, trying to help out a friend by looking for a book on getting your baby to sleep and I get offered I can make you thin. Excuse me, I AM thin. And if that's not bad enough, I then get offered The Attachment Parenting Book. No, not my thing, you'll be surprised to hear. What a lot of tosh that is, don't start me....

Amazon, amazon, you know me not. I am an enigma.

Naughty Mummy

So, er pupo had his first taste of ice cream last night. And I mean "taste" not "eat." I let him lick my finger. Twice. Well, of course he liked it. But then, he likes everything so that was no surprise. He was up a little late, as we had guests, but we put him to bed at 8.30. At 9.15, he was still singing away and playing, so I went through and he was high as a kite. I took him up, to try to give him some milk and a soothing cuddle, but NO, IT'S PLAYTIME MUMMY, WHAT ARE YOU CRAZY OR SOMETHING? At ten, I put him down again and he quickly fell asleep and woke at 9 this morning.

Lesson learned: a TINY bit of sugar is a dangerous thing!
