Happy Birthday




To my dear hubby......






Last night we had a get together with our closest friends and family and a great night was had by all. Although it did begin to rain later on the evening it did not dampen the celebration.....a wonderful night was had by all.



The engagement of Kylee and Stephen was announced to all as well....a wedding will be held within the next 18months to 2 years..another celebration to plan and look forward to.


Me, hubby and her brothers and family had great pleasure in announcing that to our friends and see the look of surprise on everyone's faces.....it was so totally unexpected, Kylee and Stephen have been together for nearly 5 years.

Early this morning the party finished...about 2 am ... and then we were up again a few hours later yawning wide as the first of our houseguests had to be on the road and heading back to their home, a drive of 7 hours for them . A bbq of bacon, sausages and eggs were cooked and all of sat and enjoyed them before all family and other friends packed and departed.


Tomorrow its back to work for hubby and me.....so tonight it will be a very early night for us.....we are tired, but happy the get together was enjoyed by all.

Kylee and Stephen are out catching up with friends...they are home for the rest of the week.

Gonna be one of those days.....

Yep sure is....





I am going to do a Chris H today and update on and off all day seeing as I am home...well sort off...be in and out most of the day. Hope you don't me being a copy cat Chris, but I love the way you do your posts.








Today I was meant to going to the airport to pick up my darling daughter and her fiancee.....BUT daughter dear mucked up. Poor love rang me nearly in tears last night to say that she misread her flight bookings, thought she was flying in today but actually they were meant to fly in on Wednesday. Yep as luck would have it by the time they realised they had missed the flight they should have been on. Virgin airways staff when they rang them and enquired about what they could do were not at all helpful, "Terms and conditions are stated on our policy when we issue the tickets blah blah blah"..... which they knew, but thought just the same they might be helpful and understanding... Anyways they fly in late tomorrow arvo now.


Big contrast to dear daughters mood from the night before last when she rang me. She was so excited...after 4 years of being with her partner Stephen...he finally proposed and gave her an engagement ring.


So its double celebration time, ooooops sorry triple celebration time for us....Bubs birth, hubby's 60th and now the engagement. Now if I could control my anxiety about my health issues and know my sleep walking wasn't going to be a problem!! Girls if I could get into the specialist earlier I would, have rang and tried, have spoken to him too, but have to wait till the 30th.

ohhh and thanks Lyn for the award....will pass that on...


Off now for coffee and then on with the running around...be back later...


Right.....back again, quick stop for a loo break, load the grog in the fridge and I back out again. Am meeting Shawn, Hannah and the girls for a quick lunch....yay for more grandie cuddles. Visited Paul and Tanya and had new bub cuddles, the 2 girls, the "little mother hens" Paul calls them were at daycare. By the way bub has been named, he is now Mathew Paul. He is a gorgeous little fella....but according to mum and dad NOT a very good sleeper... Got Paul to come and help me choose all the beers for the party and load them into my little car for me....all done and in the fridge now.


Okies, outta here again now.....

Well back again...had a great lunch with Shawn, Hannah and girls. We sat on the water front and ate our takeaways....and let the girls run around on the lawns, they had a ball. Hasn't been a good day food wise for me, seems once I make one bad choice the whole day seems to go downhill. Once upon a time, not all that long back one bad choice was all it was then it was back on the wagon....bloody hell where am I going to find the strength !!

Have bought all the cooldrinks, chips and nibblies for the party, done all the organising that had to be done....spent a heap of money and now home tired but satisfied I have achieved so much.

End of day...Haven't been real good food or drink wise....but am real happy that I achieved all the chores I set myself to do....and managed some cuddle time with some of the grandies. Tomorrow another busy day....and a extra big weekend.

Need those cuddles.....


Yep....certainly do. My moods have been like that song...swing high, swing low sweet chariot.....

I have had a reasonable week.....full of highs with bub being born, seeing all 10 grankids Sunday....wowwwww that was great, lots of cuddles. Food wise was great, tracked everything, even all the celebration foods and drinks. But then hubby tells me I am sleepwalking to the pantry and eating in my sleep!!!! He caught me the other night. SHIT...how long have I been doing that for ?????

I used to sleepwalk when I was a kid according to mum, espesially when I was anxious or worried about something. Wonder if thats what my trouble is, coz things aren't running too smoothly healthwise. I saw a health care nurse the other night, when I couldn't get in to see my Dr and she seemed to think it is.

The op I had hasn't worked. ohhhh the prolapse has, but the bladder hasn't.....and whatever they have done internaly hasn't helped in the "bedroom" activities department...its just to darn painful. Why I don't know but hell on the 30th when I see the specialist there better be answers.

Going back to my at home weekly weigh ins, I need them, I am just not coping with these monthly weighs. I had my monthly ww weigh in last night.....and it wasn't pretty, was over the 2 kilos allowed over goal weight.....so yep I have some work to do. Hubby's 60th birthday party this weekend....and daughter flies in on Thursday....so its going to full on...

Happy Birthday to Caitlin......


She is the big 6 year old. Her pop and I took her down her pressies, a bracelet engraved with her name and a Barbie doll. We went straight there from work....she was so excited. We loves ya Caity, hope you had the bestest day and enjoyed your icecream cake tonight.


It's been a busy week...work has been frantic and I have been so tired. I am not sleeping properly, still teary, still moody, headachy and just so "over it" But the eating I have really been concentrating on and have been tracking dilengently and have only gone over points on one occasssion. All was fine with my bloods.....nothing out of the ordinary he says, but do have a Drs appointment next week to have a chat.
Have got a lot on these next few weeks, have granbaby due tomorrow, 2 dil's birthdays, (one on Friday and the other on Monday), a granson whose birthday is on Anzac day and hubby's 60th on the 27th. And hubby's party to plan....phewwwwwwwwwww makes me exhausted just thinking of all that has to be done.......

Please....


WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH ME.........



The last couple of weeks or more I have been so tired, so teary, so over myself AND so hungry that nothing seems to fill me up, and believe me some days I have eaten like there is no tomorrow. I am so over myself, I hate myself for feeling like this. I can't pep myself up no matter how I try, and when I eat something I know I darn well shouldn't, I can't stop myself.
I went to the Dr's on Thursday evening and had a chat with him....and today I had a whole series of blood tests done, so hopefully I can find out whats wrong with me so I can go back to being me, having some pride in myself and what I have achieved these past few years. I want to stay fitting in these "skinny" clothes of mine, but if I keep going the way I am I won't be !! I just want to be happy, healthy and smiling again.....
I don't want to QUIT.....
April is a busy busy month for me, and I want to be on top of everything if I can. I have 2 grandies to be born this month, wellllllll one is a definite, but the 2nd is due late this month, early next. As well I have 2 grandies having special birthdays, have 2 of my son's partners having birthdays....and have my darling daughter and her partner flying home for the big event of the month....my hubby's 60th birthday. I have a big party planned for him here at home, with a lot of his special friends and family to be here for the occassion. Luckily it is on the Anzac long weekend so some are arriving early. So its all go here this month....
