"Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood."

I looked after Maddy mae today, she is so amazing. Amazing in ways that I would never thought anyone could be. She sneezes and I'm amazed, she coughs and I think *wow*. She is just the best thing to come in my life in a long time. When the world is getting at you, when you are totally confused about things, you can just look at her and she puts things into perspective. How can you not love this little thing, that all ways needs to have a hand on you to feel comfort. How can you not love this little girl who just gets the fits of the giggles for nothing, and for a second you get a glimpse of her 2 little front teeth. How can you not love her, I just adore her. I knew I would. From the moment my sister told us she was pregnant, I knew I'd love my little niece, I knew i'd do anything for her. You just can't describe how intense that feeling is till it actually is. Till you see this little person. I can't wait to have kids of my own, parenthood is such hardwork but totally amazing at the same time. I'm not ready to have kids just yet. I'm not mature enough. I see all the work my sister puts in and I have so much respect for her. She's made her mistakes, but she loves that little girl, and she's done a good job with her so far. I just love her, there's nothing else to really say, I'm very lucky to have her in my life.

I've been thinking about comments on blogs, and actual blogs for that matter. I've been reading loads of blogs, but I haven't being able to comment. I have blogs I read on a regular basis, from bloggers that I adore, that I think are fab, and I have still loyaly read their blogs, but comments are just not happening for me. I think I'm going through one of them phases, I haven''t even really being im the mood to write a blog. I like making comments though, usually even when I have nothing to blog about myself, i can always rely on one of my fellow bloggers to motivate me enough to write a hearty response. It's just not happening though. I think comments are my poorest part of my blogging. I read an article and I know what I want to say in a response, but I get too over excited and end up on a ramble that some poor person has to read through, and be like she could of said that in one sentence, hehe! Or what I wanted to say has already being said, and I end up just saying the same thing in a hundred different ways, ahhh well!

it's still so hot here, it's getting beyond a joke. You can barely move and you feel yucky! It's still raining, so it's not like we can even go out and embrace the sun, what sun??? It's just heavy, really heavy. Sleeping is the worst. You see I have to have something covering me when I sleep, I have to feel something on top of me. It's just so hot though! That you end up tossing and turning, and feelin ugh! I need sleep!

In fact that is what I am off to do right now (well soon!) try and sleep........nanight JU xxxx

Dear Sally, I think you worry over much. Any response is much appreciated. But sometimes, there's just nothing to say except to smile. At least here there is a page view and points system. People shouldn't expect comments all the time because sometimes there is just nothing to add. Or the reader feels that he/she needs to ponder quietly to himself or herself over it. Or readers may go "hm... I don't feel I'm qualified to comment on that, I just sit here quietly and read what other people who know more think about the subject." These are just a few reasons of mine from time to time. You know,imho, it's ok.

Sally,
I catch your comments all over the place. You are insightful when you choose to respond. Don't worry if you have nothing to blog about. Some of the wisest people don't say much.

Enjoy your sleep now.....if you ever have kids, that is one of the first luxuries to disappear!

Hehe, the time difference is insane......luv ya too hunny xxx

I think you worry over much.


I know I do! I'm such a worrier! I try not to be, but worrying comes so naturally to me.

Sometimes there isn't that's right. It's not that i didn't have anything to say, more that I didn't know how to say it!

Thankyou, that's very kind of you to say, when I'm in the mood there is no stopping me!

So my sister tells me! I'm lucky in that department, I need very little sleep, I average 5-6 hours a night anyway!

Thanks for the comments guys *kisses*
