After last weigh in...

 Things got pretty hectic leading up to Christmas, what with work, babysitting, a few outings so my attention to my eating suffered. A lot of grab and eat on the run....this led to a bit of a gain on the scales.

But Christmas is over now....and we have had the last birthday of the year which was Master William's 7th. He was on his access visit to his Dad so he had Boxing Day and his birthday on the 27th with him...then he was dropped off back to his Mum later on in the afternoon so Mum was able to have time to celebrate too. I get my turn tonight 😀

Christmas here was quiet. Had Christmas breakfast here with Kylee, William and Summer plus her man Micheal and his 2 daughters. Bedlam here for a few hours which was fun. Of course Shawn and Skye were here too so lots of fun and laughter.  Micheal left to get his daughters to their Mothers for lunch and Kylee followed with her 2 and I then took Skye into town to spend the rest of her day with her Mum. Mum has only Skye's sister home with her...well that is until she decides to run amok again. Between her and her brother they have spent more time in court than they have anywhere else. They too are meant to be in foster care BUT NO ONE can control them. Actually the eldest boy is in detention now.  I even refuse to have them visit here as they get very aggressive and abusive when disciplined. The youngest boy is in a happy foster care situation but we are still waiting for our access visits to see him. 

Simon and his son Sheymus rang to wish us Merry Christmas as they were out camping, Simon with his lady friend Tammy who also yelled out greetings 😋 As for the rest of Simons kids....have not heard from his daughters since Simon and Tracey split, though do see the other boy Thomas every now and then. 

Tanya and kids left early to go bush camping, so I didn't get to see them. When I rang to ask when I could drop gift around they had already gone. Very sad to say every year since Paul has been gone (5 years now) Tanya has drifted further and further away from us. Can honestly say in the 5 years we can count on 1 hand the amount of times she has been out here. 

Sad that our family has come to this. Its not our fault Simon and Tracey broke up, but because I am Simon's mum I get punished along with Simon. Tanya has always even when with Paul favoured her family over ours. I just don't get why we get left out.  As for Shawn's ex and kids....well she and her deadbeat partner have a lot to answer too. They had the kids taken away because of their neglect. It has traumatised the kids and thats the cause of a lot of their behaviour. Skye has settled in here real well but misses her Mum. Mum at least is trying to turn her life around but too late to stop the 2 middle kids going off the rails. 

So after all that...my family that I have left and us had a good day. Christmas Day afternoon was spent sleeping and eating. 

Anyways will leave you with William celebrating his birthday with Mummy's at Micheal's. Don't you just love the look on Summer's face behind him. Too cute.
