..CHRISTMAS!
The decorations are up, the presents wrapped, Little C has gone to bed not aware that Santa (or Daddy Lulu as my other half has just told me) will be visiting.... except we have no chimney and I'm not quite willing to leave the front door open for him just yet. ....oh as I was saying, the house is a mess....
But I wish y'all a cheery time with good company and good food.
Still feel sorry for the pair. My friends in quite obvious pain - yes she's being seen to but it seems the pain eases in one place and reappears in another - hence the strange (to me) feeding positions. I still don't think it's very good bonding or getting the milk into the babe. I went so far as to say I often lay Little C across my lap so I don't have to hold her, but alas this was brushed aside.
At least the changing business looked like it had improved - we took the little uns in together so i could see her and she could see me. I'm afraid I've become a bit of a rabbit-er (?) well non-stop-talker, saying things like "bottoms up" and "put yer trousers on" and "here's the nappy".... in fact I talk alot, an awful lot like that to Little C, and when in a room of mums and babes I seem to be the only one with this verbal dihorrea.
oh absolutely positively.... until a new theory comes along.
Oh it gets my goat when watching archaeological and history TV programmes and the "expert" comes on and says well as you can see this is definitely positively..." How the heck do they know? Were they alive then? Have they a time machine to pop back and find out? And worst of all what they say is carved in stone and becomes the acknowledged thing which then becomes taught. And when it is questioned the questioner is wrong because whatever they're questioning is carved in stone.
Honestly I'm not waffling. So far I've seen two Egyptology programmes - one where the skeleton is definitely Queen Nef. who was such a powerful woman and ruled like a man, killed the favoured harem woman and became pharaoh in her own right after the husband died and she was a sensitive woman who listened to her people.... oh and the skeleton next to her is her brother-in-law. The next programme is where they start saying the Sphinx is definitely this pharaoh who built it..... ok so the programme's not finished yet and they may unpick this statement but it's so annoying when you get Professor xyz saying these things. It's only a possibility. We will never know definitely well not until that time machine's built.
