Taking time out for joy

Hubby is out tonight on a manly bbq and i have time totally to myself :-)

Kids are in bed, one asleep one still chatting away to himself, and I'm taking time out for joy, "nice sigh of relief"

So i have toy story 3 playing in the background while i surf through blogs that i love, there is so much great stuff out there, I'm also eating cadbury favourites and whipped up a chocolate banana bread which is currently baking and going to be enjoyed with a tall glass of icy milk once it has come out and cooled a little.

Yum, i love the weekends where i get to just simply take time out for these little joys of life.

I must admit i do feel selfish in a way, crazy hey... I feel like i should be doing some housework or spending time with God or something "productive", but at the same time i really just want to do these little things that bring me joy when i get alone times like these with no expectations from anyone.

Any other mamas out there feel guilty to enjoy their free time however they want to when the rare moment occurs that we get it?

God Bless Y'all

In The business!!

Hey there faithful readers we are in the Business now, i got my laptop today and OH WHAT FUN that was, i tell you i was even getting  sweaty palms going into the apple store thats how excited i was, Crazy Fan, Umm Thats a YES!

So i got the 13" Retina Mac Book Pro and i am really loving it already, a little to get used to seeing i have been a pc girl up till now... I am just really struggling to see how to get the sidebar up, it is very hit and miss at the moment with that but ill get there.

Any Mac fans out there know how to do it??

So let me tell you it was a bit of a nasty weekend when it comes to flab busting cause we had our grandparents 65th wedding anniversary yesterday, it was so lovely, so inspirational to see a marriage last these days...

Lots of eating and delicious puddings nom nom nom, then today we went to my moms and she made yummy doughnuts so nom nom nom again, and no exercise, but back to it tomorrow, what to make for dinner tomorrow i have chicken thighs defrosted, any ideas??

so nice that i can actually see now without it being really straining on my eyes yippee, anyhoo, this was a totally random post, but heres to seeing a lot more of me now!

God Bless y'all

Rough night!

Man talk about a rough night last night, first mistake was staying up late doing blog stuff, not realizing that the little ones were going to give me a run for my money all night long! Firstly firecracker my 2 year old was up about 4 times with what seemed to be a fever, because he was really burning up and he was shaking from heat to toe, poor little dude :( 
If im completely honest though and im not proud of saying this, all i could think was "PLEASE PLEASE just go back to sleep now because im SUPER exhausted, that lasted all night till he decided he wanted to come into our bed which was not going to happen because of Jesse being in our bedroom and easily woken, all till daddy had to end up sleeping on the couch with him (thank God for daddy!) I seriously applaud and take my hat of to single moms you guys are such CHAMPIONS! 
That wasnt the end of it because then the other little man was up a ridiculous about of times as well, and apart from being awake alot he was also really hard to settle every time he woke too.
Needless to say all of this made for a very exhausting and very moody and exhausting night...

I am so so so looking forward to little Jesse Bear sleeping through the night, but at this point i just cant see the light at the end of the tunnel because apart from moving him into his own room im not sure what else to do at the moment...

The reason Jesse is still in our room is that we happen to live in a lovely but super tiny 3 bedroom one bathroom house. 
It was ideal when we had just one baby because Jordan had his own room and we had a study and then our room, over the course of time though the study became a junk room sadly because our stuff just seems to have babies and grow more stuff!! 
Then we had another gorgeous baby boy and so he needed a room, but we cannot give him a room because the study/ junk room cannot be emptied because there is no where to put the STUFF GRR

So Hubby decided to build a HUGE shed out the back which is lovely because we have a really big yard and have enough space to do it and still have play area. As you can imagine there is a catch, hmm, the catch is that hubby decided to build it himself to save money which is fab because i have a very handy husband but he is also a very time poor husband (2 bouncing boys, a full time job, general home and garden chores etc) and so our shed is still not built...
So that means that little man Jesse is still in our bedroom and he is turning 6 months in 3 days time NOT IDEAL, and not what he really needs either, long story short i think this is why he is still not sleeping through the night and why we had such a Rough night :-(

I just pray that when Jesse does get into his own room that his sleep issues will resolve.

What do you all reckon??

God Bless you all 

Here's to a better night tonight :-)

A Halo of Frizz

                           

So this is me this morning, yes a picture of sheer beauty tee hee hee 
Obviously I've taken a beating from sleep deprivation again little man woke me about 4 times to feed, ah the joys :) 
Hence you get to see me in all my unkempt frizz halo glory! 
At this moment I'm still in my pj's, chillin on the couch blogging while little man naps and daddy dear takes our 2 yr old who I will refer to as firecracker out for a walk, which is so super nice.
What should we do to take advantage of this wonderful Saturday...
Unfortunately as it seems to happen lately when we have a long weekend dear old hubby who we refer to as Daddy in our household is quite sick with the flu boo hoo 
Sick as he is he is still willing to walk the boy which is lovely.
I can tell you with how tired I'm feeling right now anything fitness is really the furthest thing from my mind, but because I have you all watching my every move now (which is exactly the motivation I need, and exactly why I decided to blog my journey) I will get some form of exercise in today so tata for now and I'll keep you posted on what exercise I got up to, with some revealing flab shots so I can see and of course you can see my transformation along the way So God Bless u all, and good day :)
