Oh Boy!

What a week!
Have literally not had time to stop ~ and have just collapsed on the sofa (literally ~ after 2 miles of power walking) ~ so I decided that now was a good time to update!

Wednesday was April fools day ~ and I decided that my 2 little stars deserved a bit of an April Fool ~ it was nothing mean or particularly spectacular ~ but it was actually hilarious and a sight to see!!

I rushed into the bedroom on Wednesday morning and said "Kids ~ quick I have slept in and it's 20 past 8 ~ we have to leave for school in ten minutes ~ quick get dressed!!"

WELL ~ what followed was a sight to behold (I am soooooooo mean!) ~ out of bed they both jump ~ PJ's off ~ uniforms flying everywhere ~ socks ~ pants ~ hair bands and alot of rushing about ~ but they were literally ready in a split second (tee hee ~ makes a change to the usual snail like dressing of the normal morning!!!) ~ THEN ~ when Dan walked into the livingroom he spotted the clock and realised that it was only 7.30...........before he could say anything I shouted "APRIL FOOL" ~ and they both just stood there ~ looking like "AHHHH MUM".

The best part was that I then made them get undressed again ~ and made them go and have a wash and clean their teeth in the bathroom and get dressed again! By the end of it they were both a bit fed up with me (bahahahahah!!!!!).......

Daniel did get his own back a bit later on ~ when he ran out of the bathroom and told me there was a HUGE spider in the bath ~ followed by me stressing out and running about like a headless chicken ~ then he burst out laughing and just said "got ya Mum". Lauren did not really get the hang of the whole concept and rushed in about 2 minutes later to tell me that there was a snake in the toilet ~ obviously by this time we were all "Fooled" out!!

Wednesday was also weigh in time again ~ another 1 and a half pounds gone ~ so I have now lost 5 stone and 12 pounds (82 pounds) ~ and my target it (hopefully) within my grasp!!

Tonight was power walk time again ~ and boy do I ache!! Last week we took a different route due to the bad weather and I was fine the next morning. But tonight we did the route that we did last year ~ which is more uneven and the path through the woods has been covered with tree bark chippings ~ which made the walking so much harder! As soon as we got back my Bum and legs started to ache and I am seriously worried that I may be stuck on the sofa for the night (ha ha ha) ~ as my Bum may just not be able to haul itself of it!!!! I am also sad to report that my lovely new trainers are now no longer as white and shiny ~ and I also walked through horse poop ~ which has resulted in them being banished to the doorstep outside ~ as they now have a rather 'countryside' aroma to them! I will clean them in the morning ~ but for now my poor body is just staying on the sofa ~ with my trusty laptop and a gallon of diet coke at hand!
