Pyjama’s, Cancerian’s and Babies

Today I put my pj’s under my pillow after I made my bed. I’m sure I haven’t done that since I was a kid. I was actually amused when I thought about how I’d done it when I was a kid and then not ever since I left home. They have usually been left on the floor or draped across the bed, on the bathroom floor etc. It’s not a bad idea… I get it now! I asked Darin if he did the PJ’s under the pillow thing when he was a kid and yes he did too. Did you?

I visited one of my Cancerian friends tonight. I have decided that my female cancerian friends have more power tools than most men I know. They are capable around the home and can achieve any home improvement project with apparent ease. Not only are they the caretakers of their family but their homes as well. They can certainly do it themselves. I am always well fed in their homes and comfortable to be me.

My weekend has been great so far. On Friday we got the good news about mum’s tests and I think that has really topped everything else off. My kids have a new sister. It has created huge excitement. Amelie was born on Tuesday. It was kind of weird for me. How do you behave when your ex husband has a new baby. I swung between absolute excitement for my children and reminding myself that it was none of my business really. A big part of me wanted to rush out to the hospital and have a cuddle of my kids new sister… but really that’s probably not appropriate. It would be imposing I imagine. I am really happy for Shane and Di though. I know they will enjoy her and she will be a celebrated addition to the family.

    Love this post Jo – and wow what a range of emotions about the new babe – dunno how i would have felt but it certainly did cross my mind a lot of times as Sue is much younger then Mick (only a couple of years older than Steve) but ‘Chelle assured me that she had no intentions of having children ever & of course hasn’t.
    I am also very pleased for Shane and Diane but it must be weird for Shane at his age to start all over again!
    Love your blogs, always interesting and a lovely way for me to be part of your life again.
    You have always help a very special place in my heart and it is great to read and feel your happiness and peace now after years of trying to find you ‘place’ in this world.
    Lots of love & am dying to meet Darin (and the kids)
