Little group get togethers with BBQ and beer 2. Being debt free lol 3. my Mum (died when i was young) ------------- http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2128f6">

My friend text me to say she was feeling down and was going away for a couple of days to "think" and even tho shes obviously not very happy my first thought was "wow, your so lucky to be able to just go whenever you please" |

I miss SLEEP! Being able to sleep without being interrupted by grizzly gremlins, feral four year olds or icky sticky pregnancy nausea.
I miss my independence. I had just started getting a bit of it back before I got preg with the gremlins coz Maya was that much older and at preschool so I could go out for dinner with friends etc. and not be too shattered to function the next day.
