I quit!!
Again, I am quitting my ‘dieting’. For the exact same reasons why I quit last time, and the time before that. Yes. I am PREGNANT again. It was a bit unexpected. I think I’ve had my period twice since having Jye, and it’s always taken me longer than that to fall pregnant, I guess I got the timing wrong too and hello, up the duff! I got the implanon put in a few weeks ago, but I guess it was too late and I had already conceived. So baby number 5 is due in May 2010. I can’t believe I am on this journey again already. I feel a bit scared – I will have 3 kids under 3 AND trying to run a pub with Matt. It’s going to be hard, full on and I

Do not swerve for animals
Yesterday started off as a bad day, I weighed myself and I had a gain this week. I felt really off too, probably not enough sleep and we had to drive 1 hour to see the accountant just to sign like 3 pieces of paper. We came home and I took Owen, our 2 year old around to a friends place because I had some drama going on that I wanted to talk to her about.

Not the smartest thing to do when you’re driving on a gravel road. I felt the car fish tail a bit and tho

Google Gadgets
I’m probably behind the times, but on my cute little pink netbook there is a google gadgets bar on my desktop. Last night I got bored – as you do – and I was having a browse through all the different gadgets you can add. One of them jumped out at me – a gadget to help you DRINK MORE WATER You can set the time between ‘gulps’ and when the time runs out it plays a water sound to remind you to have a drink! Pretty nifty! In other news, I am weighing in at our Healthy Lifestyle group tonight. Hoping for a

Skinny me
I told a friend I would show her a skinny photo of me. This photo was taken in March 2000, the day of my year 12 ball. I would have been about 55kg. I still have this dress too, but I know I will probably never fit into it again. I will be happy to reach under 70kg, after 4 kids I can’t expect to have the body of the 16 year old me!!!

Accident prone husband
Have I mentioned before that my husband is accident prone?  His clumsiness gives us all a good giggle sometimes. So usually when you hear glass shattering or a thump and a few choice swear words you roll your eyes and think, ‘what has he done THIS time??’ Last week Matt’s parents came up from the city to visit. I was in the kitchen(as usual) loading the dishwasher and everyone else was out the front talking and the kids were running amok in the beer garden. The next minute I hear this almighty thump, so I poke my head out the kitchen door and see that my husband is on his hands and knees on the floor(here goes the eye rolling). What I thought he had done was try
