If you wouldn’t mind I’d like you to give me a minute of your time, and it really will only be a minute as there are only 7 questions. Take survey here and I’ll love you forever—I swear!
Make a suggestion
I thought I might try to do something a little fun next week. Something that I’m going to tell you about until…next week. But I need something from you insert ominous music. Okay so it’s not really that scary or bad, actually it could be good. What I want is for you to suggest your favorite blog post. It could be your own or someone elses. It could be recent or it could from a galaxy far, far away (time wise, I’m not sure if they blog in other galaxies).
I’m looking for something to read, it doesn’t have to be profound or insightful. It could be long or short and I do tend to like me a bit of humor but that isn’t necessary either. Tell me what you’re reading.
You can use my contact form or, if you so please and if you enjoy a good twitter, direct message me @badmummy and don’t forget to include a link to your blog as well.
PS. lesser known bloggers are good.

Most days—a single child family
The decision has been made, we’re not going to have any more kids. Mostly I’m okay with that, there are very good reasons for us not to try again, all you have to do is read this blog to see them, but some days… There are 
days when I’d love nothing more than to have a perfect pregnancy and a full term baby and if that were likely I’d probably go for it, but it’s not and I have to say, on those some days it makes me sad.
I’d love Erin to have a younger sibling and I really think she’d enjoy it too, someone to play with and boss around—more than she does me. I’d love to be able to enjoy all the things I missed out on when Erin was born early. I’d love to have a son, or another daughter—I’m not fussy. But, it in the cards for us.
Like I said, most days I’m okay with this. There are a lot of advantages to having just one child, I don’t seem to be able to think of many of them right now, but there are. I just wish I was okay with our decision more than most days.
How did you know you were done having kids?

Soooo tired!
If I didn’t know better I’d swear that Erin was trying to keep me from sleeping until I was so exhausted I just drop dead from the strain. I think this is the beginning of her plot for world domination—step 1, do away with parental figures CHECK!
Until yesterday she’d given up on daytime naps, not because she wasn’t tired, just because she could. Worse than that, she’s taken to waking up crying several times a night, her crowning glory was the middle of the night tantrum three nights ago. If you could see the bags under that kids eyes you’d wonder how she’d managed to stay awake, but she has her fathers determination. Once she chooses a course she’s going to see it through no matter how many scalps she needs to take along the way.
I’m hoping that we’ve finally turned a corner though. Last night she went to bed without screaming, rattling the bars or kicking the walls. Unfortunately she also woke up at the crack of dawn, but at least it’s a step in the right direction, right?
She’s 27 months actual (not quite 24 months corrected), is this normal two year old behavior?
