Seriously? I know we say it every year, but where
has this year gone?! November 1st already?! UGH!
My lovely mum and step dad are here for a while.
They arrived a few days ago and it's been like a breath of fresh air in the
house. Having that extra pair of hands around, to help control the manic
toddler, or have a good old moan to if needed!
Yesterday was my birthday, and of course Halloween
now trumps any hope of a "relaxing" day :) But I was grateful for
small mercies. Going to the supermarket with JUST DAVE! (YES it's got to THAT
stage in life where you don't mind going shopping on your birthday..just to
escape the kids!!) We got to go out in the evening as well so that made up for
acting like an 80-year-old woman :)
Boys are all good, they are enjoying having their
grandparents around. They are arguing over the littlest things at the moment. I
know it's just a phase and they get on together MOST of the time. But recently
it seems a constant battle. Finn is just in pure toddler mode. Climbing,
reaching and learning all about his temper!
So I’ve done something for me, for what feels like
the first time in a while. I have set up my own business, all to do with
fitness. Something that sounds so unlike me I know! But I figured, I have been
doing well with my own weight loss and hitting the gym six times a week.. why
not?! It took me a while to agree to it and I’m still learning! But its going
to help me become less of a hermit and maybe meet some new friends on the way.
I'm petrified but excited. It is nice to do something for myself though and it
is certainly taking me out of my comfort zone! So we will see. You will just
have to help me and get involved too! :)
We have potentially sold our house in the UK. Which
is a bittersweet moment. We are waiting for the finalization of things, but
crossing fingers that all goes ok.
It is easy to forget what we have come from; to
what we have now. It still doesn't seem real.
Mum and Mick have brought over lots of goodies from
the UK. Which is torturous! But as it was my birthday yesterday I relaxed a
little. All the chocolates and sweets from Halloween, and all the goodies from
the UK are going to be locked away. Tomorrow the three of us start a 21-day
challenge. Which means no ice cream!!! Now THAT is my "kids have gone to
bed treat" albeit the smallest bowl... but still...that is going to be
hard for me! Wish us luck!!!
Anyway. Toddler is now reaching for me, whilst the
rest of the household are watching the football on the telly!!! :)
Much love!!
