What were your best and worst bits of the week?

If you breathe in really deeply, I think you can smell the weekend. And what a lovely aroma it is. Now is the traditional time here on Mamamia where we look back on our weeks and pinpoint the highlight and the lowlight.

A word of encouragement to anyone who hasn’t ever commented on this post before, COME ON. You know you want to. And to everyone who regularly comments, firstly, I love you and secondly, help me welcome the newbies.

I’d also encourage you to cheer and commiserate with your fellow commenters. It’s lovely to feel there are people in your corner even if you’ve never met them before.

OK, my turn.

BEST: My 20 month old son has FINALLY discovered how to watch TV. This should probably be a worst in official parenting terms but hell, I’ve been trying to interest him in the bloody Teletubbies since he was 6 months old and he wouldn’t have a bar of them. Until this week when something clicked. Now I can plonk him down for a few minutes at a time when I have to do something that cannot be achieved with a toddler wrapped around my ankles. Huzzzah!

WORST: A girlfriend has just discovered she has breast cancer. And that certainly puts everything else into perspective.

I haven’t done a best/worst dressed this week. I’m going to turn off my computer and take myself to a movie instead. But I did post this beautiful Frockwatch instead. Because sometimes pictures speak louder than words.

To all those in the MM community who are doing it tough right now, my thoughts, strength and support go with you…..
