Tuesday....

Please don't get me wrong...I didn't say I was unhappy. I'm not unhappy. I simply said I wasn't feeling 'Christmasy'. I'm not interested in Christmas. To me Christmas is in the way - its preventing the work on the house being completed - its a waste of time and money - its causing stress to a lot of people I love and care about - needless stress that a lot of people could do without. And it feels like only last month that we did it all last time!!! Maybe if we had Christmas every two years it would feel more special and less materialistic.

THAT was my point!

Christmas aside, I am fine, happy and well. Lloyd and I have been spoiled with all our date nights together lately which has been a lot of fun and lots of trips to the Indian restaurant in town lol) the kids are all doing great, Chris seems a LOT happier lately thankfully too! Abigail is returning to homeschooling which should help her relax after a few weeks of being home - once the others go back to school and our routine gets settled (again the holidays are in THE WAY ggggrrrr). The work done on the house so far is STUNNING.

I will be wearing my new size 6 pants (trousers) on Christmas Day and they will be loose!!!! This will be very weird lol - on Sunday I tried on 4 bathing suits and they were ALL too big!!! One was a tankini and it looked terrible because it was TOO BIG!!!! It was a size 8 lol!!! Um....I need to go shopping at WEM next week - I saw one in the swimwear store there that I loved but then we couldn't find the store again when we tried to find it!!! So my size 8 pants are all a bit big on me now and I need to get some size 6's.....and I could fit in size 4's if I wanted!!! I am forever grateful to Tanya for the recommendation of Topamax - my migraines are slightly improved but not half as much as my body ;) and it has been EASY!!

And like the commercials say - for the first time this new year, I will not be choosing weight loss as my New years resolution!!!!!!

Hmmmm which brings me to my question for my next blog post!

Anyway, today Susannah and I are having our girls day out - she is going to get her siblings gifts - our annual tradition - and then we have lunch together.
