... you have ever wondered what the nutritional value of a dead leaf was.
... sleep is a distant memory.
... you find yourself still watching Play School, even though your children have wandered off to play.

Oh be still my beating heart.
ReplyDeleteDo you know my girl ran around the Kmart lingerie section grabbing bras and shouting "I love these boobies mummy!". So proud.

Kids not ids...let's not get all Freud here.
