Feeling ill.....

I woke up this morning feeling awful !
I have no idea what it is ~ I woke up with a sort of hangover ~ only without the fun and enjoyment of the alcohol the night before ha ha !!

I had a headache and felt sort of sick and not right at all!!
One of the children that I look after was ill on Wednesday and her parents kept her off on Thursday as she was up all night being ill ~ so whatever it is ~ I think that is probably where it came from!! (the little darlings are so lovely ~ sharing all their illnesses with me!!)

Anyway ~ once I had sorted tea out for Dan and Lauren ~ I decided to fall into bed for an hour ~ which actually turned into 2 hours ~ and I have just dragged myself out of bed.
I feel a little bit better ~ the headache has gone ~ but I now ache ~ sort of everywhere Tee Hee!!
I am hoping that a few Ibuprofen and a soak in the bath sorts it out ~ there are so many nasty little sickness bugs about at the moment ~ hopefully I will feel better tomorrow ~ XXX

HAPPY IVGLDSW DAY!!

My Mum sent me an e mail today ~ telling me it is 'International Very Good Looking, Darn Smart Womans Day' today ~ so I thought that I would send her best wishes onto all of you too ha ha !!!

She also sent me these words ~ which made me laugh so much ~ that I just had to pass them on!!

***REMEMBER ~ Life should not be a journey to the grave ~ with the intention of arriving there safely ~ in an attractive, well preserved body!!
BUT RATHER ~ A skid sideways, with chocolate in one hand and wine in the other ~ body thoroughly used up and worn out ~ screaming "WOO HOO" WHAT A RIDE!!!! ***

***I have reached the age where I have got my head together ~ and now my body has started to fall apart!!***

***Inside me, there is a skinny woman ~ just screaming to get out!! No worries, I can usually shut her up with a few cookies!!!***

***When life hands you lemons ~ just ask for the Tequila and the salt!!***

HOPE YOU HAVE HAD A HAPPY DAY!!!!!

Almost forgot to add ~ weigh in day went ok ~ another pound gone!

Total now stands at 5 stone 3 pounds lost (73 pounds) and counting !!

I am almost there ~ the end is in sight!!! I just have to stay away from the cookies jar........FOREVER!!!!! Tee Hee!!! XXX

My Children.........

I am so blessed to be your Mummy ~

blessed that you chose me ~ to walk the path of life with you.

Each and every day you make me proud ~

each and every day I love you more ~

You make me laugh,

you make me smile

and just when I think that there is nothing you could ever do to suprise me ~

you do something unexpected ~ and my heart bursts with pride!!

We have been through the good times, and the not so good ~

We have walked this sometimes uneven path together ~ the three of us ~

You are my precious children ~

and I am your Mummy ~

And I love you more than you will ever know XXX

FRIDAY.........

It is friday ~ the week is over.....
It is freezing cold outside ~ I have every heater in the place on ~ and I am still cold (god help me when the electricity bill comes in.....)

It took me about a year to defrost the car this morning ~ it was soooooo frozen ~ I have a garage ~ and if I was a bit more organised ~ I would haul my ass out of this chair and go clear all the JUNK out of it ~ so the flipping car could actually fit in there!!!!!!!

I have just had to sit through Camp Rock for about the millionth time ~ as Lauren is slightly addicted to it (but she says she doesn't love it as much as High School Musical ~ phew!!!!) ~ I am going to hide the DVD somewhere when she goes to bed ~ so I don't have to suffer....oops I meant watch it again over the weekend.......Tee Hee!!

I read in a magazine today that celery burns up more calories to eat it ~ than it actually contains ~ yay great ~ CELERY............something , somewhere is very wrong in this world.........why couldn't it have been CHOCOLATE..........I wonder if celery dipped in chocolate counts??????

There is a pile of ironing sat in the corner of my bedroom ~ which I really should try and do this weekend ~ I have been trying to pretend that it will disappear if I leave it there long enough (or maybe an ironing fairy will come and do it.........??) ~ but, no such luck ~ it is still there ~ I have mysteriously developed a sore arm (about 10 minutes ago..) ~ which means that ironing is definitly off the cards tonight (anyone have an ironing fairy that I can borrow????)......

I put a pair of the PJ's that my Mum bought me for Christmas in the tumble dryer today (they are lovely ~ red with white hearts on them ~ and all silky feeling!!!) ~ well ~ now that they have been tumble dried (when the label I never looked at....says 'do not tumble dry!!') ~ they are going to be hard pressed to fit on one of Laurens new dolls ~ never mind, I am sure the doll will love them!!!!!!

Happy Friday ............. just off to search the internet for tasty things to make ......... with CELERY!! XXX

A little Revelation......

A CONVERSATION WITH LAUREN THIS MORNING......................

"Mum, I have made a New Years Revelation!"

Me ~ "Do you mean Resolution Lauren?"

Lauren "Yes Mum ~ That's what I said ~ Revelation"

Me " OK Lauren ~ what is it?"

Lauren " My New Years Revelation is to annoy my brother every day!!"

Me "Right!!"


BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Don't think she'll have too much trouble keeping that New Years 'REVELATION' do you? XXX
