Best & Worst for the week (27th January)

Poor Rick. I’ll explain that photo in a moment. Meanwhile, it’s time for Best and Worst which is my second-favourite post of the week (pipped at the post by Open Post since it gives me a chance to see photos of the team in Sydney and marvel – yet again – at Matt’s hair).

So here’s  my B&W for the week ….

Best: I’ve got a list. Ready?  Feeling a small foot push against my ribs in the middle of the night and knowing my in-utero baby is well and truly alive and kicking.  Frozen grapes. Reading two new fresh, strong voices on Mamamia this past week: Enlighten Foundation’s Dannielle Miller’s brilliant post on the abuse directed at women in media and internationally-awarded author Kim Wilkins’s post on how her daughter starting school signaled a type of ending for her. What else makes my best list? Getting a photo of Rick’s face when Mia explained to him what a catheter is. He didn’t know. And his face says it all. (I’m laughing even as I type!). The fact that kindy returns next week which means I don’t have to play “farm animals” all day every day! WOOOOO! And finally, that our beloved Nicky is back next week from maternity leave!  We’ve missed you, Nic!

Worst: I am seriously exhausted. (I’m looking forward to going into hospital to have this baby just to have a rest. And to have my meals brought to me. It’s possible I’m confusing hospital with a day spa). Also I have to say I feel disillusioned (again) by the Gillard government – this time with their back-flip on their written & signed agreement on specific pokie reform. I’m about to start a “Nick Xenophon for PM” campaign …

Okay, over to you guys. What’s been your best and worst this week?
