The world is spinning way too fast!

Well here I am awake earlier than expected and sitting at the computer as I am too worried to go back to sleep incase I sleep through my alarm making me late for work. Seems to be a habit I am forming lately! I am going to be shattered again this afternoon.

In the quietness of the rest of the house sleeping I have been sitting here thinking about how fast January has disappeared already and besides working there are only a few days where something special has happened. Does this mean that the rest of the year is going to fly by this quickly? I hope not!

My dieting is eratic and in my heart realise that I need to go back to Weight Watchers just for the extra encouragement. It is a battle trying to stay on track by myself at home! Stayed the same weight wise this week so I will see what the scales say by Thursday. Need to pull my finger out and exercise. Vicky and I have agreed to start walking again as soon as the kids are settled back at school and the routines are in place!! Oh the dream of having a life without a routine!!

Speaking of Vicki - a big shout out to her for officially becoming an Aussie on Thursday - well done chickadee!!

As mentioned I am off to work shortly (half day today thankfully) - Noel is taking the kids and his parents bush to do a little bush bashing - or as the kids put it "to scare Nana and Grandad in the 4wd!!" needless to say the stories at lunch time should be interesting.

Chat soon - ~*JO*~

Why am I awake?

Hi all,

Well what can I say - I have woken early this morning - way to early!! I couldn't get back to sleep for the fear of oversleeping and being late for work. I have been off work for the last two days - annual leave. Just been spending time with my mam and my sister. In an hour or so I might do some exercises and there is washing to hang on the line but sleep is off the agenda now. Damn body clock!!

Monday was spent at the foreshore park in the morning with the kids having a ball on the equipment. We all sat down to a huge fruit platter (very healthy) and then it was off to the beach. The kids went in for a swim although us adults weren't as game but paddled our feet in the water. The water was quite freezing but it was great to see the kids having fun. I, however, got sunburnt and went to bed feeling quite like a heatbead!

I went 10 pin bowling with my sister and my mam yesterday. We also had Alexandria with us and my nephew Stuart. Both kids bowled really well so Claire and I decided to sign them up in the Anklebiters league with their big brothers. So now we have two teams in that league. Claire and I have also tossed around the idea of joining the Wednesday night league - so that should be something different for the two of us. Claire and I have decided that we need to spend more time together as last year we seemed to distance ourselves not for any particular reason - it just happened.

Not sure how I will go this week - food wise I have been okay not perfect. I know that I have to be more determined but am being a little relaxed while my mam is here. She leaves next Tuesday so then I will really get down to business and track my points religiously not to mention exercise. I suppose the most important thing is that I get back to attending meetings - very slack on that topic.

The calendar is starting to get filled in with family, friends, children's activities - I actually pencilled in a date in April yesterday and that scares me! I do believe that this year is going to fly past faster than 2005.

Chat soon,
