Happy Happy Happy!!!!

I am sorry that I have been a little bit sad and unhappy over the last few days ~ those of you with access to my private blog know all about it ~ but I am over it now ~ what ever will happen ~ will happen and I am just not going to worry about it ~ I am not going to waste another second of my time letting him annoy me ~ he is not worth wasting the energy on!!!!!!!

We have some pretty scary weather here again ~ I pulled out of the end of our road this morning and hit black ice ~ thankfully I was not doing any speed ~ but we slid straight across the road ~ and I luckily managed to correct the car before we hit anything ~ We had floods yesterday and the water that is left on the roads has obviously frozen overnight ~ which is just hell to drive on!! Please hurry up and come Summer ~ I need some sunshine ~ my poor body needs heat ~ I need to take off some layers ~ wear less clothes ~ let my feet out of the 2 pairs of socks and huge winter boots that I had on today ~ I just need to be sitting in the garden with the sun on my face ~

I am very happy today ~ I went to my weigh in and have lost 2 pounds ~ bringing the total I have lost now to 5 and a half stone (77 pounds) ~ I have the choice now to stop if I want (well ~ it isn't actually stopping ~ as I have to maintain the weight loss ~ what fun!!!) ~ my bmi is now in the healthy range ~ but I would still like to lose a bit more ~ not sure how much more ~ maybe another half a stone (7 pounds) ~ I have to look at the chart that I have got with the upper and lower weight ranges for my height and make a decision ~ it is all so complicated tee hee!!!!!

Lauren has been doing practice classes for her dance exams that she has in a few weeks ~ she is very excited and uses every spare moment to dance around.

Daniel is looking through his french phrase book ~ he is going on a school trip to France in March ~ so I think that he is making sure that he can ask where the toilet is ~ and how to order Chicken nuggets and chips (tee hee!!!).

It is School Half Term next week ~ so I have been trying to decide what to do with the children ~ alot will depend on the weather. If it warms up a bit ~ the children always love a walk along our local beach ~ and we always go to the woods ~ burn....oops I meant bake cakes ~ do some crafty bits and pieces and we always have a movie day ~ when we get together with my friend June ~ who is also a Childminder ~ we pop some pop corn and put on a movie and the kids love it. I quite like the school holidays as there are no school runs and no rushing about in the mornings ~ it is a bit more laid back and relaxed in the mornings ~ it is just the rest of the day that is mad!!! WISH ME LUCK!!! xxx

Tabitha--77 pounds??!!! That's incredible! You must feel GREAT about that! What an accomplishment!
I think you need to come to sunny Florida and warm up and air your "footsies"!

So sorry about the awful weather. We woke up to a smattering of snow this morning but it's gone now,thank goodness. I have to agree though, ice is the absolute worst.
I sure hope you can find something fun to do for school break. It sounds like all three of you could use some super fun downtime.

Way to go on the weight loss! I wish i was at target weight, but have still a bit to go!
I'm glad you are keeping your chin up :-)
The school holidays do bring a welcome break from the old routine ~ but the kids get so bored hanging around if the weather is bad :-(
Good luck to Dan with his French Revision LOL!

It's wonderful to see you back and happy again. As someone else may have said, life is just too short; especially dealing with people who hurt us badly. I hope things stay much better for you!!

Great job on the weight loss - that's quite and exceptional accomplishment. :)

Hope the weather will be better next week for the school holidays. I'm so glad you were able to keep the car under control on that dreadful ice.

Take care! (HUGS)
