Catch up

I am playing catchup this week, I have been ill with a throat infection that then interfered with my ears and eyes so I was off to the Dr and then sent home with some antibiotics and bed rest.

I will admit I have been feeling down, with the fight with the Ex and with not being able to eat or exercise or energy to even scratch myself. But I have clawed my way out!

I realise that I am the one in control of my emotions, I'm in the drivers set of my life and I don't need anyone telling me what I can and cannot do! I deserve to be happy and I deserve to be loved for who I am! From now on I am not changing for no one or nothing that's for sure, love me as is or not at all I say!!!!

So other then rising above emotions I have been busy with catching up on the housework as for once I did as I was told and did nothing but rest, I had a pile of washing scream at me along with my empty undies draw eeeek, I also have organised an exercise program from myself to ease back into things along with new goals (and a rewards chart) I also plan on getting into the kitchen and doing a cook up for the week.

I am back into my workouts as of today, I am trying a new plan of attack and getting both cardio and strength training done and dusted in the morning. I am only alittle slower on my 10km bike ride and I haven't lost any strength which I am really pleased with as before my session I did feel sort of tired and weak in the limbs but once I got started I was on fire :)

I am happy to report that my beautiful children have been unaffected by all the goings on and are happier then ever and coming along in leaps and bounds, Jazzy cat has started further maths and reading (a higher grade level) and William is happily potty training talk about all grown up as he takes himself off to the pot now, the only hitch is he hasn't learnt the art f taking his big boy pants down before he sits on the potty hehe but we will get there :)

well boys and girls I am off to do some more housework :)

I hope your all having a lovely week catch up with you all very soon.

Keep smiling :)

Where has the week gone???

Wow the time has flown past!

Well today the kiddies went back to school, which I have to admit I miss the noise lol.

Today has been a flop, long story short I didn't sleep last night due to a fight with my ex which bought a flood of memories back. It was like opening Pandora's box last night and the lid is still open today.

I feel flat for the first time in ages, I mean really flat like I can't be bothered eating and I have done nothing in my house which as you all know is very unlike me.
I have gone back to feeling confused and dazed like a deer in headlights!

I know I will get this under control once again, but I kinda feel like why do I always have to be the responsible one, the one that always chooses the high road, why am I always making the sacrifices. I am starting to think being an adult is over rated!

So tomorrow is a new day what will I do with my new day?
Well I have many science projects in my fridge so I think I will start with them first, then my fur babies need their cages cleaned and a bath, and lets not forget all the dust bunnies that need to be vacuumed lol
So i will dig into the housework tomorrow that always helps me put thing back into place not only around the house but also inside my head :)

I will get my strength training done in the morning too that always makes me hyped for the day :)

SO keep smiling and I will catch up with you all tomorrow :)

Clean up crew wanted....

What a weekend!!!
I have had a blast, but now is the clean up boo hiss I hate this part lol

So how did you spend your long weekend?

I did really well food wise but the wine did flow freely so that will need working off this week.

I have been loving these school holidays with my kids, so much time together and also so much time doing very little hehe gotta love it when the house is so clean that it looks after itself (well until you have a big party lol)

Tomorrow I am taking the kids to the park for a morning picnic and then once they are tuckered out I will come home and dye my hair :)

Well I am off I have dinner to prep and I am wanting to kick back with my lappi tonight and catch up on every ones blogs.

Keep smiling :)

P.S
Put down those chocolates Easter is over :P

Happy Easter to you all :)

This Easter has been absolutely smashing, I have been playing Auntie and had Grace over Friday and Saturday night and kept the kids busy with craft. I have been cooking and enjoying family time as well as enjoying some quality time with old and new friends :)

The Kids did there Easter egg hunt this morning and they did well, they also loved their little toys I got them. The Easter bunny got me a voucher so I am off to shop tomorrow for some new tunes :)

I spent the morning with my mummy and daddy and now I am home getting ready to cook a roast dinner for the kids and I tonight (and their daddy) and cleaning up after last nights party, I had some friends round for pizza and DVDs and lots of drinks hehe I had a blast but need some sleep as I haven't had much as yet lol.
But worth it as I got to catch up with an old girl friends from school who hasn't changed a bit she is such a hoot and bubblier than ever we were chatting and gossiping as we used to in high school it was ass if there had been no time apart :)

We have already planned ahead for next weekend as I am child free so we are going out for dinner and dancing soooo excited I am hanging to have a good booty shaking session lol

hmmmmm what else ummmmmm

Think that's about it, Wil is asleep and Jazzy cat is up her room so I am going to get the roast in the oven then kick back with a much needed coffee :)

Happy Easter!!!!!

Keep smiling :)

what a beautiful day....

A fantastic day to remember the strength an sacrifice of human kind (I am not a into the christian kinda god so I celebrate good Friday by cherishing the good of human kind and all the splendid things we can/have accomplish)
My daughter is however religious she is attending a Christian private school and has become rather interested in the christian beliefs (Which I support 100%)

So today has thus far been busy, I have cleaned my house top to bottom ready for tomorrows company and I have also made a big huge lasagna. I was making it for tonight but silly me forgot that no red meat is to be consumed tonight so I will pop over to the fish and chip shop for some grilled fish and then steam up some veg problem solved :) plus if ate the yumi lasagna and my mummy got news of it she would kill me lol not to mention the lecture she will give me about being a good role model, I can hear it now 'Yes mummy' hehe

After the lasagna is all cooked I am taking the kids for a bike ride, they are very excited and so am I, I am feeling very stiff and full of DOMS so reckon the exercise and fresh air will do me some good :)

Tomorrow my dear sweet mummy is having my children so I get some free time to be an adult YAY so I was thinking I might Head out with my book grab a take away coffee and go for a walk round the gardens and the farmers market round the lake (well big paddock as the water is all dried up, the were mowing it yesterday rather sad) might even see what some of my friends are up to and get my fill of adult company, with the children home this week and staying home for most of it I am craving some me time and time to put aside the baby talk lol.

Well I have a lasagna to put together!

I hope everyone is enjoying their good Friday and celebrating in their own way.

Keep smiling :)

Slow start......

Me thinks that 2am bedtimes don't really work......

But oh they are so fun when you have a night caller knocking at your door begging to watch dvds with you hehe :)

I had a blast lastnight I had my bestie over for girl chat and when she left round 10pm I got a txt from a friend saying he was in the area and if I could use some company hehe I can always do with some good company lol

So we sat up watching the crow movies and then we decided it was time for a good laugh and we watched the goodies and laughed so hard my abs hurt :)

I love being spontaneous!

So needless today has been slow starting but hey its school holidays and the house is clean what more do I want :)

SO the plan is ummm yeah the plan hehe ummm I guess do the few breakie dishes and maybe look at folding some washing then kick back with the kids, or maybe I should clean my bathroom first as I can write my name in the dust hehe.
Going out to do some shopping, I need a hand blender thingy so I can start doing proper protein smoothies for the early morning and then get some fresh and frozen berries.

Hey I found out something interesting this morning, a banana has more sugar in it than a mars bar!!!!! What the??? Now wonder bananas are my fav lol.

Oooo this weekend is a girls weekend I am so looking forward to it, I have some girlfriends coming over for pizza and DVDs and of course the wine will be flowing :) Its been ages since I have had a good drink so I am really looking forward to the good company and great gossip :)

Training has really given me a boost today so the effort was well worth it (grumps and all hehe) I have DOMS in all the right places :)

I bought myself some Bio oil and Palmers butter body cream, I am making it my goal to look after my skin this year! In the past I have neglected my skin and due to weight fluctuations and two pregnancies I have stretch marks and saggy skin :(
Last night was the first time I gave myself a good oiling up in ages and you know what I noticed some nice changes in my body, things shrinking and wobbly bits looking firmer so that was a boost :)

So on wards and up wards this chicky is loving life :)

Well I must be off I have a black coffee with my name on it and children to chase hehe, catch up with you all this arvo.

Keep smiling :)

P.S
Just read Katie P post for today eating consciously check it out : http://thin-enough.blogspot.com/

Early riser....

Well I was dragging myself round kicking and screaming, especially as it was 5am and Wil decided that it was a fantastic time for him to get up too grrrr.
Then Jazzy trundled out of bed and then my niece was delivered at the door!

Breathe, you can do this!!!!!

Hmmm exercise and kids so doesn't mix for me.....

I am a snotty cow if I get interrupted during training and guess what I was bombarded the minute I picked up a weight ugh

Well a rather fiery effort and I am dripping with sweat and ready to hit the shower, just catching my breathe first.
Strength training and cardio is done and dusted for the day :)

So what else is happening in the life of Em?
Housework, playing with the rug rats and a cook up. I am also heading out shopping when my mummy comes and gets Grace, I need more supplies as I am getting bored with the greens I have as I have been living off frozen for the last week and I am craving some colour lol

Well I am off to have a shower, hope everyone is having a smashing week.

Keep smiling :)
