You Will Never Be Rich if You Own a Car :(

Evening all

Bit of a bad day today.  After work I walked to the garage to pick my car up after Fridays disasters only to find it not ready.  The mechanic even brought out the door to show me what the problem was.  Obviously the price has increased along with the timescale for it being fixed :(  So hubby had to come and get me.  I did get home in time for lunch thankfully.

B - greek yogurt
L - ham and cheese salad
T - bbq chicken with salad

Drinks - several cups of tea and 1 pint water

Joints - ok

Asthma - ok

I couldnt get up this morning for the dog walk after such a busy weekend.  But I still managed to get over half hours brisk walking done on school run and taking the kids to street dancing.

I have spent most of the day (when not panicing how i will be paying to fix my car) setting up my new tablet.  I have diet apps, exercise apps, games, diary, budget, fb etc etc etc.  The amount of apps I have downloaded and deleted.  I also have an app for my yougest son.  He is very 'challenging' and am hoping this will help a little, would be nice if it helped a lot.  I have told the other 2 to stop winding him up but kids are kids and he needs to learn that hurting people isnt the answer.  So we will see how it goes.

Hope you are having a great weekend

Do I Change My Alarm or Not???????????

Evening all

So tomorrow is back to school/work.  Do I get up at 7am as usual or do I get up 6.30am and take dog for a run?  I really want to get up at 6.30 but I dont know if I can.  I was up until 1am this morning and still couldnt sleep and woke up early and then finally got up at 8.30am.   If I set the alarm I have to get up.   Decisions decisions.

I got organised today, uniforms (including mine) ready, PE kits ready, work stuff in the boot of the car.  All ready to rock and roll.  I am glad these holidays are over.  I usually love school holidays but with kids playing up and me being tired and grumpy and not planning anything they are been difficult.  Will do better next holidays.

Foul Mood

Evening all

I am in a foul mood today.  I dont know why, maybe because I am tired????  I even had a nap this afternoon but that hasnt helped.  I watched tv in bed until 2am and then slept a bit and woke and slept and woke all night.  Maybe when I am exercising more I will sleep better.  I really hope so.  I dont like feeling tired and grumpy all the time and I am sure the kids would prefere me back to normal.

B - greek yogurt
L - cheese and ham with coleslaw
T - breaded chicken (i know but its better than pizza) with salad and coleslaw (only a little bit left now :()

Drinks - tea, beer and soon to have wine

Joints - ok

Asthma - ok - upping my inhalers (and remembering them) seems to have worked

An evening of wine, crap tv and trying not to eat the kids easter eggs awaits me ;-)

Have a great Saturday

Torn

Hiya

I am undecided about today.  Am torn.  Its Friday (Yay Friday) but its also the last weekend of school holidays (Boo back to school/work on Monday).  So should I be happy its the weekend or sad.  For tonight I am going to be happy and have some wine and wait until Sunday before I worry about Monday :D

B - green yogurt
L - ham and cheese with homemade coleslaw
T - omelette pizza with homemade coleslaw (it was that nice, got some left for tomorrow as well)

Drinks - lots of cups of tea, 1 pint water and shortly to have a glass (bottle) of chardonnay :D

Joints - ok

Asthma - ok

I didnt sleep last night.  I went to bed at midnight after I stopped being tired last night, I then read until about 1am and then I just lay there for a while not sleeping.  So am suitably hanging again today, luckily after shopping I took dd to charity shop and we found cranium board game for kids which had only been used once and looked new for 50p :o so kids played that this afternoon and I just kind of sat here not doing much.  I really hope the bottle (or 2 :P) of chardonnay helps and the kids sleep in tomorrow at least for a little bit.

Happy Friday Night

Wine and Choccy - Its the Law

Evening all

Football is on this evening.  I do not like football but agreed years ago with hubby that when he watches football I drink wine and eat choc.  I dont always eat choc but I can if I want.  He is now moaning about me drinking wine because he cant as he is too ill.  Well, turn the football off then was my reply, he didnt so I have a nice glass of chardonnay. :D

B - greek yogurt
L - ham and cheese salad
T - mince and veg

Drinks - endless cups of tea and 1 glass of chardonnay ;-)

Joints - ok

Asthma - bad again this afternoon but ok now  hhmmmm this is worrying, maybe I will up my inhaler for a few days and see if that helps as I really dont know what is causing it.

Not done any exercise today but I have rushed around shopping and cleaning so that must have done something??????????  Am hoping that next week when kids back at school I can start doing an early morning dog run.  Wonder if it will happen.......

Now, where's that choccy (just kidding :P)

Seriously Lacking in Patience

Evening all

Hubby is ill.  He has been ill since last Tuesday but yesterday and today he has got worse.  All he has done is sleep, he comes downstairs and sleeps on sofa all day and then goes upstairs to sleep in bed at night.  So during the night I have to listen to him snoring and fidgeting and during the day I have to listen to him snoring whilst keeping kids quiet so they dont wake him.  Hopefully he will be well enough for work tomorrow so I can get on with cleaning. :D

L - cheese and salad
T - ham salad

Drinks - lots of cups of tea and having a glass of red :D

Been Away

Evening all

You may have noticed I have not been around for a week or so.  We spent Easter at my sisters (family gathering) and then onto my sister Lodge.  I did very well on the food site, but not so well on the alcohol side of it.

I didnt even  have much choc over Easter, in fact, I have had 2 little caramel eggs which for me is shocking :o

So tomorrow, back to it.

Some highlights of the week, my daughter is now 7 nad loves her new bike even if she cant ride it yet, I ended up on stage doing the limo :o and had lots of lovely food and fine wine to drink.

Hope you all had a lovely Easter.
