My eyes are okay-ish, for as badly nearsighted as I am, but a few years back, the doctor mentioned that I had some blood in the back of my eye, and thought it might be a hole in my retina. It's gone away since then, but I had this vision of my eyes just sort of liquifying, or turning into nothingness as the hole grew larger. I suppose that's what you get when you tell a scifi nerd that there's the possibility that a hole may grow. I can sympathize.

I can't imagine the stress & worry you feel over this at your young spring chicken-ish age. I'll be praying for your eyes!

I feel positively betrayed by an educational system that would let anyone get to age 18 without reading <i>something</i> by him. I cannot believe I’ve never read anything by him before.

Great quote as well... it relieves me of the strain of worry over one day going insane. I'm far too random, irrational, and unreasonable. Speaking of random, I was totally convinced last week that I saw you on Family Feud. Same name and she looked like you. Well, except for the fact that she was wearing a big fur hat and a plaid shirt. (It was Halloween dress-up week. Her family was dressed up like lumberjacks.) But, it wasn't you. Obviously. Or you would have blogged about it. But, she was quite clever, like you. So, you have a same-named clever doppelganger in Minnesota. Dressed like a lumberjack. I think Chesterton is an amazing writer.

I know how you're feeling... my husband and I just bought a new house as well and we moved into it a few weeks ago. We also celebrated our son's first birthday about a week later. Talk about stress -- selling, buying, moving, unpacking, cleaning, getting ready for the birthday party -- lots of work. Enjoy GeekBaby's party and your new home! Congrats on buying the house!

]]> Comment on Sleep, she is for the WEAK by babychaos http://geeklady.wordpress.com/2009/04/25/sleep-she-is-for-the-weak/#comment-1782 babychaos Fri, 15 May 2009 15:33:32 +0000 http://geeklady.wordpress.com/2009/04/25/sleep-she-is-for-the-weak/#comment-1782 Each baby to their own! Mini BC usually sleeps well at night but doesn't usually kip for more than 30 - 90 minutes during the day. That leaves me raddled but gives me recovery time in the evening! Mini BC also finds it hard to go to sleep if he thinks he might be missing something interesting but this makes for a pop him in the cot, kiss him and run technique. He thinks his mummy is interesting and he's not going to to to sleep with me there! Then again, there are occasions where he's suffering a little or out of sorts when he needs to have me there to hold his hand... I think you just do what's right for you... If it helps, I ate chocolate pudding and nothing else (not even my mother's milk) from the age of 8 weeks. I slept for about four hours a night if that. I was a cranky kid because being a child was frustrating but I am also one of the most laid back people you are likely to find... so there you go. Loved the comment about Lungs!

But they don't seem to do stuff like that in the US. It's all Dora and Diego and otherwise branded stuff. Bleh. But my son doesn't do cuddly things. I settled on plastic eggs filled with Gerber puffs and a board book about Easter. Oooh, those egg squeakers are cute! But they don’t seem to do stuff like that in the US.

It's frazzling enough being a mum without any extra pressure from outside. I'd say buy a cuddly toy, some yogurt coated raisins or maybe something like those hide n' squeak play eggs and sod the rest! Nah... sod it all except for the hide n' squeak eggs. http://www.tomy.co.uk/products/hide-n-squeak-eggs/ they're cool, I like them, anyway! Cheers BC I feel your pain.
