Sooo much to tell...

So I have now been back at work for 3 weeks and I am doing ok. I havent really adjusted yet to not being around Ella so much and I still have a little sniffle every now and again when I think about how much I miss her and my mind starts thinking about what she thinks the reasons I am not home is. I really hope that she realises that I still want to be with her but have to work to get money because for some reason in my mind she thinks that I am leaving her because its her fault. I know, I know its just me feeling guilty for not being able to be home so much with her... but still... I am really missing her, missing our 'us' time that we had every day for such a long time and now I barely get home before its her bed time, in saying that though the pay is good and I am doing ok being back and getting back into the swing of things.
I cant believe how close christmas is, where o where did the last 6 months go??? We put up our christmas lights on our house last weekend but havent turned them on yet, will be this weekend plus also putting up our tree :) I am dreading to see what ella will decide to do with it... I am guessing PULL IT OVER??? :) Also wondering what we are going to do with all the presents she gets.. we are already overcrowded by her stuff as it is!! She gets so spoiled because she is not only the first child for us but also the first grandchild for both mine and Nick's family.
Havent been doing much scrapping lately, just havent had the time or the mojo.. but I have some ideas for this weekend if I get a chance between christmas shopping and tree erecting! ;) Speaking of scrapping, round six of SWTS is up at scrap therapy and SHIRLEY CHAI is the star!! :O Do u realise how excited I was to see that?? She is my FAVOURITE!!!
Ummmmm what else??? My internet connection is finally working PROPERLY!! I could log into pages and they would start to load and then would just stop for over a week and I was LOST without my internet!!! So I am very very happy about that! GRRR @ dodo for not fixing it quickly and just stuffing us around!
OHHHH another thing, ella got her first HAIRCUT!!! She was sooo great and just sat there looking at herself in the mirror, didnt try and get down, didnt cry, didnt wiggle around!! her hair looks so curly now ;)lil cutie that she is ;) Ill be scrapping those pics soon no doubt!! They will fit in well with Shirley's SWTS challenge ;)

Speak to u all soon ;)
