how long can a 25 minute trip in sydney take September 30, 2008

not twenty five minutes during peak hr that’s for sure, I got to work 1 hr late today grrrr I allow 1 hr to get to work which on night shift is only a 25 min trip so 2 hrs it took in almost dead stopped traffic

I would love to know who these idiots are that design and build two lane freeways in a city of around 5 million people, OK so I will grant that when the road was built in the late 80’s or early 90’s there wouldn’t have been anywhere near that and during the Olympics large sections of the road were widened to 3 or 4 or even 5 lanes but there is a section just before the toll (for a road which has already been paid for by tolls but that’sanother story) where it is almost impossible to make more lanes, where did somebody crash this morning in that miserable 200m stretch of road blocking the whole freeway for 20kms

 

ooh I feel so much better now, planning to work OT on Thursday and Friday so I can get a new clutch for my mechanical baby then I won’t have to sit in the traffic it’ll be worth taking the highway which runs parallel to the freeway and filtering through the traffic at lights

helping with the shopping

on the potty (yep we are starting early)

looking everywhere heres where she was

found the potty

Loves the vacuum

voting is exhausting stuff

Mirror lilly

watching TV with the boy … look no beard

this is what happens when you play with mummy’s bag

not wanting to go to sleep

 

Jen We named miss Lillyan Joan

she is now almost 9 months old she drags and only crawls when she is close to her target, her latses trick is pulling up eek lots of head injuries from that one

I have a celebration for today… she actually ate a peice of lamb, mmm laaamb, sorry got off track for a sec

so what are you having for dinner September 26, 2008

I hate that thought, I don’t think we actually have any food for making dinner with, I could reach behind me and peak in the freezer but …. oh wait theres a lamb mini roast in there mmmmm guess what we are having for dinner

I came to a good decision  today,  ok well it must be good cause the boy and I both brought it up at the sme time, we are going to start buying baby formula…. but not for all the time, which I think is what makes it alright, I’ve been sirtting with my pump 10 mins out of every 2 hrs at work and only getting between 2 and 3 bottles to bring home, they have been using 4bottles and would have used 5-6 if the boy weren’t trying to stretch them out, the other day there were only 2 and a bit in the freezer, I made the decission to use the tetra pac that has been sitting on our pantry shelf, since I went back to work I got home and she was asleep, because of the 4 bottles she consumed that day 2 were more full than usuall and slower to digest, so we decided this morning that I will still pump and bring what I bring butwe will also have some formula bottles on the days  I’m away… the chiro said we should just give her water but he dosen’t have the full story on the solids so I’ll take that and accept it and when miss starts eating more we will start using water instead

sleepy times September 25, 2008

I should be a sleep,

I’m not all that tired but I have to get up early in the morning,

I haven’t seen the boy awake for 2 days,

I haven’t called from work all week its killing me,

I need my boy I need some love and hugs,

 atm he is one of the most important people to me and I have no Idea why,

he drives me mad ,

but I love him,

he tells me I’m lazy but does nothing for the good of the household himself,

but I love him,

when I’m depressed he gives me a lot of hug and a kick up the bum and shows me things arent as bad as my strange little head has skewed them to be,

and I love him

ok so its a little soppy for me but its true, this week I have been paying more attention to myself as he suggested would make me feel better about me, every morning I have a shower and a shave, prolly not supposed to shave every day but it gives me a bit of  something to stick to, then I cleanse tone and moisturise which of course is doing wonders for my skin this is followed by a touch of foundation a dusting of powder and a swipe of lippy  and I’m readdy to start the day, so far so good, is amazing how much better my skin looks perhaps its the foundation making everything even or maybe its the fact I wash 3 times a day who knows, but it also is helping me feel better

after work I have a shower wether I got really dirty or not this if followed by a similar routine for face but I use one of those liquid to powder things to save space in my locker

in the evening I do the whole clense tone moisturise thing again, but this time I ad some eye cream and rub BIOOIL over my scar and stretch marks in the hope that they will fade quicker, I think the regular rubbing is also helping get the feeling back in my tummy where the nerves were severed by the inscission though it could also be that the nerves are starting to heal properly

on the new hobbynot much is happening I want to make a couple of quilts, not sure if my machine can handle the work but will give it a go, I cut out squares last week because I want to make one of these for miss I stopped a spotligh tonight and grabbed some fabric and bits tomorrow I want to finish the apron I started last week and start on the little project I have n mind for dad it has chickens on it not sure wether to do a group of cussions or a quilt, which is where the design came from, I still have time, have to do the squares with applique first

 

ahh finally he’s home  I should do this more regularly, perhaps tomorrow I’ll tell you about my first ever laybuy from target

night shift leaves me not up for much September 21, 2008

a week of night shift ick but I did it, I didn’t go sick and next week I’ll have a very nice pay

was hoping to have a productive weekend but thats just not happening … I beleive I have a lage black dog shadowing me its getting rather annoying I have gret plans and find myself sitting staring at a blank TV screen because I couldn’t be bothered even turning it on , how sad it that

I put some lightener in my hair today called SUNIN I used it a few times when I was at school, hopefully it works I’m tired of being dark brown and too impatient to wait for the sun to do it naturaly the other hope is that I didn’t get it too uneven , theres nothing worse than a bad hoome colouring job, I ondce put a colour called aztec copper in the first time I just plonked it all on top then spread it out, you can probably imagine the result

guess I should at least bring teh washing in , I did want to move my bookcase out of miss’ room but I’m a little overwhelmed by it at the moment, there are alot of deep memories stashed away in it along with the books that I would like to sell since I can either buy them again when I want to read then or borrow them from the library, My aim is to make my book case all refrance books and borrow reading books in future rather than trying to store all of the books I love but hardly ever even looking at them

a celebration, a new hobby, shopping at home and miss September 5, 2008

Guess what ……….

I now weigh 90.5kg’s (I dance around the room squeeling ) thats 15kgs down since january, reckon the next 15 will be alot harder to manage, the boy wants me to start looking after myself better,

I will admit that since returning to work I have been very miserable over alot of things and neglected myself badly, I really need a trip to the dentist, I’m afraid to go because I know it will cost a fortune to get my mouth back up to scratch, I’m also afraid that the dentist might want to remove a tooth or two, it prolly not as bad as I think but I panic everytime I get close to making an appointment, I’m planning on going to a local sleep dentist aparently the anethetests is bulk billing so thats not an expense to worry about

anyway, I’m considering getting back to WW to help with the weightloss situation, I have a Wii and Wii Fit which I need to use more often even if some of the exercises are alot harder than they should be, remember me who went to the gym 3-4 days a week 2 or so years ago doing lunges with weights, I now struggle top do lunges without and weight I’m soo unfit its not funny

I went shopping in my own wardrobe tonight this is another celebration, I was going through my pre preg things sorting them in order to list them on ebay when I looked at a skirt I remembered being a little big on me when I was size 14 which is the size on the label so I tried it on ….yipppy I have a new/old skirt (bounce around the room again) this was followed by the outfit I wore to auntys b’day party in march last year and remember this well it fits ….bounce bounce bounce….. on top of those so does this

so lots of celebrating, I also bought myself a sewingmachine this week of ebay for $79 with free postage, was a factory second with a damaged box, not a brand name but hey I don’t really know how to sew either

here is my first project,

I’m planning to attempt it again next week but make it a slightly larger size, as my model shows its only going to fit for a week or so
