I've put the heat on but I'm still cold...

Agh! I left a book on the floor and Aliza tore the dust jacket. As soon as I went to tape it up she went for the laptop. Every time I put the tape roll down she grabbed it. DESTRUCTOR BABY.

Now she's trying to eat a flashlight. If I take it away from her she'll have a tantrum.

And why must she go to sleep in my arms but wake up the MINUTE I go to put her down?? I want to be able to read or something when she has a nap.

She is growing and developing though! Now she's worked out that the little cups go into the big cups, so she takes them apart and puts them back together. Two at a time so far, but she's started picking up a 3rd so I think she'll work that out soon.

I hate housework. Last night I put the dishes on, with another load still to go (the first load was all the prep stuff, plus most of the pans). Our dishwasher is slow (damn water efficient models) so I didn't have a chance to start the next load before bed. When I went to do it this morning I discovered an undissolved dishwasher tablet, no idea why. Seems my dishes just got a really good rinse. So I had to do them again before I could run the next load and clean up.

Still not done the shopping. Good thing Brent Cross is open late, right? (We're leaving for Devon Saturday morning.)
