Soccer Mom

We bought a new car today. Well, to be more accurate we switched our old leased car for a new one. I am now officially a soccer mom.... we got a Minivan. It seemed to make the most sense what with 2 kids and a dog to ferry around all the time and for those big family outings and whatnot. Although it is far too much of a stereotype. However, we're also going to trade my car in for a Golf TDi which will be the more fun car for non-child journeys (for both of us) and for G to do all his mileage for work in at far lower cost on fuel.

Had a nice day with Dad & Sis. D has taken a huge shine to my sis and wants to be at her side all the time. I'm feeling less concerned about how he'll be when I'm in hospital - happy as long as he's with her! Tomorrow they're going to Wonderland while G and I do some last minute things such as a c/s class at the hospital, buy an 'I'm a big Bro' present for D, and pack my bags finally (something I really should have done a while ago!).

I'm tired now so I think I may have an early night -- suspect I may not sleep too well tomorrow night!
