Keas Sleepover (Scouts)

Well this weekend was the Keas sleepover in the scout hall. OMG I am buggered...

Will post some photos later of what the weekend was like. It went fast but the sleeping was good. The kids all went to sleep really well in the tents (made up inside the hall he he) but our airbed went down as soon as we got in it grrrr so I slept on a hard wooden COLD floor all night.. so needless to say was quite grouchy in the morning when I woke up and today feeling really tired.

Got my monthly on Thursday so needless to say I gained 400 grams this week but hey that is life....

Tired and at work at present... grumpy too he he he but I went out for my 20 minute walk at morning tea so feeling great that I did that. I am trying to get my step average up... I had been averaging about 6,000 in September and last weeks average steps were 8,889 so I am sooo happy with that and I will be trying to increase them.

Roller Skating

Just came back from my 15 minute walk in my morning tea break and I have sweat on my chest OMG OMG... as you guys know I don't sweat much and if I do woohooooo means I worked really really hard.



What beautiful weather it is out there.. ho hum to be stuck in this office apart from breaks though aye.



I did another page of scrapbooking yesterday to show you what we did Sunday morning.



See Helena... I know it has taken me a while to go again but I told ya I would he he he.


Tahlia Rose's (Quinn's girlfriend) mother Tracey Lark asked me if Quinn and also the rest of us would like to go Roller Skating so we did. Corbin didn't go as he was at Lachlan's and went to the park etc with him (boy from down the road that visits his Grandparents).We had a lot of fun. It was fantastic!!! Sweated so much. Quinn was soo wiggly and was having fun and said he wants to come back again and again. I think we will go back again he he.


I am sooo happy with my loss this week.. going to try and do the same thing this week and keep to it and track and drink that bloody water that I hate so much.


I know I lost 1.2 but as I have always said it isn't realistic for me to expect that every week so I am aiming for 500grams this week and if I lose more woohooo and if I don't loose enough woohoo as well because I am not going to gain all my weight back and it will take me time.


So this week.... gonna lose some more he he.


Only 5 weeks till XMAS OMG... roll on I say. Only 1 present to get for J's Dad and Step mum and that will be it.

Letting it all out in this post he he

You know I did a lot yesterday but for the life of me it is a blur he he he.

Walked the boys to school and stayed and did the spelling for Quinn's class... got it done faster this time it was much better... Can't wait till the end of the year when I don't have to do it anymore.... I know it sounds bad but I don't mind helping out now and then but not happy that I have to do it every week... especially for Quinn's teacher who I don't really like that much she has no personality at all and then when she does seem really fun and nice she seems false... it bugs me to the max and I am not the only parent that has thought this... I was talking to one of the mums who I get along with and another mum came over and said "sorry about listening in but OMG I feel the same way about the teacher and thought it was just me" so that was nice to know that I wasn't just being a snobby bitch or something like that.

Walked home and then had to take mum to go and get her haircut (all the way across town... I swear she chooses her bingo and hair and everything else all the way over there so she gets a drive he he he)... while she was in getting her hair cut I managed to read my book OMG all you parents out there know how hard it is to catch some time reading a book or doing something in peace it was bliss... had a couple of stares from people thinking you are sitting there reading a book while there are shops out here... phewwwyyy I thought to myself he he he.

We went to The Base afterwards to Briscoes as they were having a 1 day sale at 40 and 50% off things and Mum still had a couple of Xmas presents to get. I got a dressing gown for hubby nice and blue and sooooo snuggly as his has a huge split in it and he said he needs one (so I will give it to him for Xmas with the Debit card we both agreed on getting each other).

I also found a bargain with a duvet at 50% off too... it was nice and in the colours of the inside of the caravan (we needed a duvet that we could leave in the caravan so we didn't keep taking our KING size duvet for a double bed with us he he he couldnt move with it as it was too big and heavy) and then I found some cushions that had the exactly the same colours as the duvet and they had very thin stalks and leaves so it was in the brown, and green (but pale colours) I will have to take a photo of it.. I quite like it. I am not saying that if I had more money that I wouldn't have gotten something nicer but I got 4 cushions and a duvet for $60 so I was sooo happy with that especially with the fact that cushions like these usually cost about $25 each and I got them for $8 each... I was impressed with that.

I left mum there shopping while I came home and caught up on some stuff around the house and then went down to meet the boys at school.. we then picked mum up and came home.

Quinn and Corbin were soooo excited about Keas tonight as they were supposed to be getting invested so we left early so we would be there and when we got there the leader said that they couldn't get the scarfs made in time for the ceremony so it will have to be made this week and we can do it next week.... the boys were dissapointed and I was a little too as I took my camera and all to take the proud moment.

Blonde was there as her son was supposed to be getting invested too. They put up a tent in the hall last night and they had soo much fun as it was like a little camp and read stories in the tent etc... it was quite a big tent. I must say that Blonde has gained a lot... when she left my mum said that she is almost my size.. Now if you guys don't remember the start of me blogging we both went to Weight Watchers together and she was like 78 kilos wanting to get down to 65 and now I do think that she is around 100 kilos and not up to my size but getting there.. I think maybe she is happier now and contented and that is why she is gaining... she seems happier anyway... but her son is still a right pain in the arse that is for sure....

Oh that reminds me.. I saw Kris at the gym. Well she came and interrupted me while I was talking business with the gym owner about the wine bottle labels I am doing for him. She said that they are moving to Dubai in March OMG... that is a long way away... hope it makes her happy.. my oldest will be a little upset as he has a major crush on her daughter Ashley and he told me that Ashley feels the same way.. so we shall see what happens. I didn't tell him that she was moving away. I suppose I sort of think it is another whim of hers that will change as soon as she changes her undies.

So we went and got on the treadmill (I swear that the treadmill has a sign on it saying CM would like everyone to come and talk to her while she is trying to do some running GEESH) so I was doing my 1 minute on 1 minute off and in the middle of the running bit she came over so I had to stop running and start walking as I cannot talk while running... grrrr was soooo wanting to just keep going. Anyway... back to the subject... Kris said that she has gained 20 kilos and is back up to triple figures.. OMG that happened in only 6 months. I must say I don't like her at 100 kilos and I certainly thought she was too skinny at 80 kilos but the 90 kilos with how tall she is really suited her I hope she does go back to losing and doesn't gain it all back.

Jeremy seemed to think that she has gained it all back because she didn't do it slowly enough and that she didn't change the habits so that she wouldn't go back to being big. He said that he knows I am not losing as fast as I want but that he doesn't think that I will gain it all back because I am doing the leg work to change habits. I must admit that I agree... I get angry that I am not losing as fast as others but for me it wouldn't be good because I have done that before and I need to change my habits for it to stay off long term. Don't get me wrong others do it fast and keep it off just as well... but FOR ME it isn't good.... so it made me feel differently about it.

I am a little apprehensive about getting on the scales tomorrow morning. I have been good apart from a little slip up in my lunch yesterday but I think I will have a nice loss... more than my 500 grams but not a hell of a lot more.. so we shall see... I think I am back on track... and hey if in another 6 weeks I do the off the track thing... I certainly know that I will get back on track again... it is just what I seem to do.

My two email buddies... thanks for the last week you don't know how much it means to me!! MWAHHHH.

Anyway better get moving and go to watch Corbin at his swimming today...

Bloody terrible weather today.. sort of day I should be up in bed all snuggly reading my book.

So..... has anyone checked out my scrapbooking page???? I am doing a lot lately and sooo happy with them. Did another one last night.

Love ya all

Great loss this week

I have been feeling soooo much better since going away this weekend.

Weighed in on Saturday and was 120.7 (ouch) because in the last couple of weeks I have been in a funk... as you all know because I stopped blogging once again...

So I have been tracking properly since Monday and I think by Saturday I will have a good loss woohooo.

Back on track. I think after a couple of months of tracking I just tend to go in to this funk and as long as I get back on the horse as they say then that is fine with me... afterall it isn't a race.

I want to fit in to a nice outfit for Lee-Anne's wedding and I refuse to look like a frump.... so that is my goal for now. Not sure of a size just that I will be smaller than 120.7... so there you have it.

Bloody raining here today so didn't go for my walk at morning tea... can't sit at desk being wet today... will try and go to the gym tonight.

The boys have milo cricket today after school... I am going for the first 10 minutes then I am going to leave and have a coffee at the coffee shop to have some time for me I think... and then go and pick them up. A lot of the parents seem to just leave them and come back... but will see how I feel at the time.

I am really getting in to my digital scrapbooking at the moment and Kate and I have got a website that we are doing quickpages and other things that we design put on the site so others can download and have a go... so if you wanna try go to www.kiwiscraps.blogspot.com and see what we have done so far... I am enjoying it. Also I have done a couple more pages on my own digital scrapbook site too if ya wanna have a look.

My mums birthday is on the 26th November so I am also in the process of doing a little digital scrapbook for her to carry around to show people too... it is going to be about the family and I am going to print them and put them in this lovely little album I brought a couple of years ago but haven't used it as it is soooo pretty I just have it on show he he he silly aye.

The boys are getting invested tomorrow night at keas (scouts) and so I have to go and get their shirts for the night... OMG it costs $90 (EACH) a year for scouts that is $180 a year for me and then on top of that the shirts and then the outings bloody hell..... expensive or what. I am excited for them to be doing it but bloody hell that is a lot of money.

Anyway better get some work done.

If it doesn't rain it pours

OMG got an email from my friend Pam to say that her child support went down by $200 a month OMG how does he think she will survive. She had a total of $20 a week left to buy food for the 3 of them and now she doesn't know what to do..

I couldn't take it anymore so I got involved (maybe I shouldn't have) but I texted him:

Neither J or Pam know I am texting u. But I had to say I used 2 think u were a great guy and admired u but after today I didn't think u would stoop so low as 2 hurt your children like u r because of money. I hope u don't live 2 regret it...

and I was shaking..... someone said to me today that since I have lost my weight I have gotten stronger and say what I feel and not such a push over..

Well an hour and a half later I go this:

If you had bothered to hear my side of the story you would understand. I didn't know bri was self hurting until J told me. She only tells what she wants to and changes it to make me sound bad. You two have made a choice of Pam. Bye.

So I replied:

No I did not make a choice of pam, and I did know u did not know about bri, what you may not know is that she is finding it hard 2 feed them on what she gets and now that the child support is less how is she 2 feed them now? They r also your responsiblity and ur r punishing the kids as well as pam and that is what I cannot understand. I don't want the friendship 2 end but one call in 6 months has not helped either. U give friendships up to easily. And.. this is not J's opinion and does not know I am writing 2 u.

My God what is wrong with the guy...
  • Leaves his family
  • Within six months is engaged and getting married in January 2008
  • Refuses to pay mortgage on house and holiday property
  • Was not paying child support for the first 3 months and now after been backed paid to them he has claimed for the sluts family and she gets $200 less a month
  • Not wanting to see his daughter and now she is in counselling and self hurting herself
  • His friendships have been put on the wayside
  • He treating his ex like crap when he is the one that cheated.

How can this keep going? Is he wanting her to go bankrupt? If he does why would he do such a thing to his kids? Why do people do this? I can't understand the nastiness? can someone help me with this? I don't understand how anyone could change like that and I never thought I would be thinking bad thoughts about George EVER as I would have said I would have trusted him with my life and my family's life that is how much I thought about the guy.

I am distraught about it all.. I can just imagine what Pam is going through... it is not fair.

CM

Please help me to help her... what am I to do? She has no one.. .no famly it is hard.
