Mondayaling

So I wish I could have stayed in bed today, but alas the world keeps spinning around..so up we got, and it was freezing...freckles stayed off school again today as she is still unwell and probably won't go back until Wednesday. So off we headed to run some errands, and catch up with hubby at work. Spent the morning packing up files and moving stuff around and headed home for lunch and an afternoon nap after watching Zoom something superhero movies...I should have been doing washing or something to that affect but it was just too good an oppurtunity to hang with the younglings on the bed under the covers and watch a dvd, then all curl up and have a nap...so I sort of did spend the whole day in bed, but it was much better than I expected.

Only sour note is something is really crazy with my thumb, woke up this morning and it was painful. Anyway if that is as bad as it gets...well lucky me...

till tomorrow..

Grateful Monday

1. The Olympics, I love it...and so does freckles

2. fresh food...

3. the boy just being so damed cute

4. the beautiful warm blankets that where handed down to me

from my grandmother (see previous post) that are keeping my family

warm through this cold snap...it is like she is giving us a big hug.

5. the fact that their may be a teeny tiny hope that my gf may be able

to fall pregnant..fingers crossed, praying hard.

Funny..

Ok so today was good, for a monday. Went to work for awhile, but couldnt get much done as the computer was being slow, so I left the boy with dh at work, all set up with dvd's and snacks. So went and did the groceries...so boring...but anyway at least we have some food in the house again! Came home and curled up with the boy for a nap..which was hilarious. You see dh went to a retreat this last weekend, so he was drained and exhausted, anyway when I was at work with him he looked pale and not real well. Anyway he left his keys, laptop and wallet at home this morning..anyway the boy and I were asleep the house all quiet, all locked up, we were snuggled up fast asleep..anyway I get up and wander out to clean up etc...when I go to open the sliding door to the patio and notice some feet at the end of the hammock, and to say I freaked out was an understatement...someone was asleep in MY hammock, in MY backyard, in the middle of the day. So being the idiot that I am, I stood at the sliding door, and had it open about an inch, and yelled "Hey get out of my hammock the cops are on the way", when the culprit rolled over with shock and I realised it was MY DH!....man did I laugh. He had come home because he had felt sick, but couldnt get in, he knocked, and knocked on the window, but no answer so he just curled up in the hammock..hilarious. Other than that a good day all round...no walk though, hopefully tommorrow.

Grateful for....

1. my slippers, thanks kids for keeping my tootsies warm.

2. nanna naps in the day

3. portable dvd players..keeps the little ones busy, when you need to work.

4. sms - when you want to get your message across but not be stuck on the phone all day.

5. snagging a bargain at the oppy.

Monday..olayolayolayolay!

Well been off air for a couple of days, just had a cruisy weekend, hanging around and just you did nothing really. Dh had to go to Brissy for work so myself and the kids hung at home. Freckles whipped me at Uno 7 times..until I made her go to bed because I was so humiliated. I then had a chick flick night, watche P.S I Love You,...and promplty balled my eyes out..and then watched Then she found me...with Helen Hunt and Colin Firth..awesome, go see it when it comes out. Then Sunday went to a house auction for a sticky then coffee at a friends, we then came home and had a big family nap, and then, the kids rode bikes in the street for hours, whilst dh read a book and kept an eye on them...Love Lazy sundays... Then dh went to work and I watched Gone Baby Gone..brilliant movie..loved it, see it. Other than that, today was cool, just another Monday, the boy decided it was dress up day, firstly as Lightning McQueen, and then as maybe Bono???? daddys beanie, mums slippers and big sisters snow dome?
Other than that, got a walk/jog in which was great...its getting cold, but still gonna do it.
Till tomorrow...

Grateful for...

1. my dh, the way he looks at me, and his beautiful smile.

2. my friendships, I am blessed

3. tucking my babies safely into bed at night

3. sunshine...it makes me feel good

4. giving something up..sometimes it is a good thing, the end is the beginning is the end.....

Monday..again

Today, was fairly usual Monday, back to school, a full week this week which is good. Freckles had a little award in her bag which she forgot to show us..it is a Gold Award, for helping her fellow students, and looking after them and was given to her by her principal..I know I am touting her horn, but I was very proud mum at 6.30am this morning!
Pretty usual day, just ran around some errands, school run, went into work and helped dh out as our secretary was ill today...the boy fell asleep in my arms as I was trying to answer phones. Came home and confronted the mountain of washing, and yes I won the battle, just finished up my ironing literally 10 minutes ago. Other than that just chilled, both the kids injured themselves tonight, freckles fell over her school bag and smacked her knee on the corner of the wall, then the boy banged his head on the end of the bed...so it was tears and ice packs all round.
So that was it really, just cruisy and getting over the weekend. But I did realise one thing today, I need a new ironing board, mine is so wobbly and uneven it drives me nuts...
Anyway...thats it...hope you all have a fabulous week!

I am grateful today for....

1. being able to feed my family good healthy food that I have made for them with love

2. clean washing..love it

3. sleep, when I get it I love it.

4. my new slippers...oh so comfy

5. my babies going to bed so well...even though they both had injuries..xo

Monday..

Today was a pretty ordinary day...got up rushed around ready for school...then went and did some errands and stuff, got the boy a milkshake and stopped off at the op shop, didnt get anything though. Came home and had some lunch, then curled up on the bed with my boy for a lovely sleep. I am so tired at the moment, my boy will not stay in his own bed at night and keeps us up, keeps me up mostly, dh sleeps through a storm. I had him driving his Fred car all over me at 2am this morning..ahhh, so hence the sleep today...and I will tell you what it was bliss! I absolutely love curling up with my babies for a sleep, the sound of their breathing, the warmth of their breath, the curve of their little bodies as it backs up against you to be spooned, pure heaven. Anyway cooked a yummy WW dinner tonite, Chargrilled chicken with butter sage...mmm yum. Also went for my walk at 6pm...didnt want to go but I did and powered through it. I have uploaded so new music on the ipod so that just changes things up a bit.

Weigh in day tomorrow....ahhh, hope I do alright I have really tried hard this week. I just want to lose, not gain, even if it is 100g..anyway, I am just proud of myself for continuing to go.

Anyway have a great week.

I am grateful for this monday....

1. having a sleep with my boy...blissful

2. The new Choc Orange Tim Tams...oh my they are heavenly..but I only had one and made my husband hide them before he left for work last night!

3. I am grateful I was strong enough to have only one tim tam

4. some sunshine, to bring some warmth on my skin

5. my little brother...he called tonite while I was out walking and just rang for a chat, not actually for something in particular...and he chatted with the kids, which was fantastic.
