People say the most astonishingly thoughtless things sometimes. Colic is torture. I’m so sorry. I hope someone comes and does your laundry and dishes soon. You are incredibly clever even with the sleep deprivation.

I recall it being tough, but through the misty glass of time it's blurry and the details come and go. What stayed...the fact that I loved being a mummy, even a tired, smelly (sour-milk was my fragrance), bedraggled, out of shape...being a mummy was magnificent. I also remember the joy of finding the dishes had been washed! It's adorable how it's the simple things people do that make all the difference. That note on the fridge, in retrospect, is a brilliant idea.

Best ones I have heard - “It’s like having a puppy”, “of course we will still be friends with you”.
