Mac fell out of bed yesterday morning

I woke up to the sound of a thud followed by crying, bolted upright, looked around and no Mac on the bed. I peeped over the side of the bed and there he was on the floor crying. Luckily, he didnt seem to have hurt himself, at least I dont think so - it's now almost like looking for a needle in a haystack to try checking for new bumps on his head amongst the old, sigh... I normally pile up pillows and blankets around the exposed sides of the bed as obstacles & not quite sure how he got over them. Probably rolled on top of the regular pillows to sleep on and somehow rolled his way round to the sides and ... plop! I'm quite sure if our bed was the size of a football field, I'd still wake up to find him on the other end of the field! I took this a couple of weeks ago - 3.30am after scrounging and rolling around for half an hour, this is finally the position he found most comfortable :)

MV Doulos, the book ship is here and we'll be going there later on. I was fairly disappointed with the selections though the last time it was here so hoping it'll be better this time. The main reason though is to show Mac a 'bot' :) I wonder though, whatever happened to Logos? That was the book ship I remember from my childhood. I was SO excited to hear of an entire ship filled with books and couldnt wait for my Dad to bring me! When I have some time, I think I'll go google for it. As always, there's lots more I want to write (more than anyone wants to read :D) but I need to try finish a LO I've been reworking on for a few days although I'm thinking it'll mostly probably end up in the trash or the "unfinished folder"! I'll leave you with a pic of Mac's version of a "cute face" :D

"The Mom Song" sung to William Tell Overture by Anita Renfroe - Saw this in You Tube and just LOVE it!! It's totally hilarious!!<
