How do you like my "random tiles" image, to go with my random thoughts today? I think it's so pretty. Mesmerizing.
NEIGHBOURKIDS
Thanks so much for all your comments on my post last weekend about the Neighbourkids. Many of you said the same thing - keep the door closed. I try. Except. It gets really hard to ignore all that knocking... Kidding! I do stick my head out and explain why they can't play just yet. But I hate it! And then I feel trapped in the house. I'll find a way to talk to the Mom (who really is a sweet lady). Humour is usually a good way to broach things like this I think. That should work. I hope.
I have a new challenge now though.. Same neighbourkids. Related issue. Needs a post all of its own though... I really want to hear how you deal with this situation I'm sure we all face...
BABY GIRL AND SLEEP
Well the Little Miss has woken at 5am with only one middle-of-the-night feeding for the past 2 days. I think the word to describe how I feel is... Elated! Hurray!
I'm pretty convinced that coffee had put us into a tailspin. Sadly, I drink the coffee to be able to work while sleep deprived, which causes her to want to play in the middle of the night and deprives me of sleep. (Yes, I'm still nursing at night. Why not? Too tired to get up and make a bottle at night, and we both get to go back to sleep).
Yesterday I needed my coffee fix, not because she didn't sleep the night before, but because she went to bed and stayed asleep and I was so excited I stayed up making this.Not bad for my first project after 15 years?
It was just one mug of coffee, but she woke up 3 times last night...
I'm not complaining, but I'm finding myself with a lot less time to sit at the computer and read through all my favourite blogs these days. I have started using Google Reader on my phone and that's been working well. Except.... I can't leave comments! For some reason, on this new phone, I just can't leave comments when I click through to your blogs! It sucks! I feel like I'm behind a one-way mirror trying to shout to you, but you don't know I'm there! Quite distressing... But I'll find a way peeps, don't worry.
BTW, if you've been in a similar situation and have advice to give, I'm all ears!

AWARDS
I have some awards I need to thank people for, but then I have to award them out and that takes a while. I've decided I'm going to start that post, and just keep working my way through til I'm done. Hopefully it'll wind up being published sometime next week.

That's how I found you!!
I found you through UM too. She's a blogging icon! :)
I love coffee but I have to stop drinking it around 9am or it keeps me up at night. So I get up REALLY early so I can drink more.
I find it nearly impossible to comment from my phone because so many people have those stupid word verification things.
Smiling at the part where you said you were so excited the baby slept through the night that you couldn't sleep. :-) by the way, I do most of my blog reading on my BB on train home.I am actually commenting now using my BB. :-) what I found is that I can't do this on some Blogger sites, but I can do this on yours. And I can also do this on Nancy's (which is not a Blogger site).
I have the same problem. I can't comment on blogger blogs from my phone. The rest seem to to fine for me.
Stopping by from SITS!
Beautiful crochet! We have that and coffee in common! :)

Good luck talking with the neighbor kids' Mom. I hope she is understanding (which I'm sure she will be.) I hope you are able to find time to post as well. I'm having a bit of the same issue. I have so much craziness going on here right now that I can hardly find time to post. Working on it though. :)
Yeah for the baby sleeping through the night...hopefully that will continue!
Congratulations on being a contributor to their new site! I'm off to check it out!
The google reader is great but I can't visit a blog and NOT comment so I do it anyway and it takes ages...dropped in from SITS, have a great day...
woot! For baby sleeping through the night! Hope your feeling better soon - getting some raw garlic in ya, I know that's nasty, but it works. Gonna have to go read about these neighbor kids now. Glad I found you at SITS :)
It does get hard to keep up even with the best intentions--I have that problem too with my phone...
So glad that you are a part of Life 2 Us. I love your posts.
Thank you for sending me to Supah. I had to pull myself off the floor where I disintegrated into tears. She's a great blooger but the way she speaks of her friend and Jaden just took the air from my lungs.
Thank you, thank you so much for your support and participation.
Wow, I really love what you’re doing at your blog. Keep up the great work!
A favorite website and children’s author that I’d like to share http://DannyTheDragon.com the book is a nomine for Best Children’s Picture Book of 2009! I think you may like to visit the author as well http://TinaTurbin.com

What a fun blog! Does the cartoon you, look like the real you?? I need to picture you!!! lol.
Thats interesting about not being able to comment using your rss reader- how frustrating! I havent had that problem yet, but I'll have to be on the look out.Though you did just comment on my blog- so maybe it's fixed? :)
Great blog! I'm your newest follower;)
Thanks so much for stopping by on my SITS Day!
