Cheryl, I wouldn't say I have it all together but am trying. This week Ena has runny nose and it can be frustrating at night so I get cross with the snot and try not to get cross with her!! I give her to Andrew at night before bed if she isn't goig off to sleep and he settles her in the sling. It gives me time to read in bed for a bit before she comes back. These things are helpful.
BTW how did the ABA conference in Adelaide go?
