![]() Monday, November 28, 2005 I need a break! I am so exhausted from the last 3 days that I need 2 days break to recover. I WISH! I'll start at Friday. Weighin was good, 78.3, a 1.3kg loss. (how much of that I still have is another question) Spent Friday morning running around getting things for Kelly's graduation ball this week and stuff for Bethany's dancing dress rehersal. Couldn't find the wig she needed anywhere. Got home at 1.30pm and got her down for a nap. Made a couple of phone calls and found a place in the city with the wig we needed but I had to go to Kellys Graduation assembly that night so we had to leave an hour earlier so I could get it. That meant we had just 2 hours to get Mum, Kelly and me ready. Out the door again and 3.45 (we were running late). Got to the dance place, got the wig and got to the Hall at 5.15pm. Were seated at 6.15pm and assembly started at 7.00pm. Assembly finished at 9.45pm and came home, stopping for takeaway as we were starving (Hadn't eaten since 1.30). That was Friday! Saturday, had Bethany at dancing at 9.30. Picked her up at 10.30. Back at the hall at 11.30 to get the tickets to her concert and home at 12.15. Waited for Pete's cousin to pick up some retic stuff. Got a phone call at 2.00 to say they wouldn't be there till 4.00. Dashed to Big W as I really needed a summer dressing gown for Bethany to wear over her costume but couldn't find one. Back home by 3.30pm. Rellies turned up at 4.00 and then we had to go back to their place so Pete could fit it all. A 45min drive later and we were there. Unfortunately the truck with the pump and stuff didn't turn up till 6.30. Pete spent an hour installing it all and we were off again home (in the middle of a massive thunder and lighning storm mind you) and home by 8.45 with takeaway for tea again. You still with me????? Then yesterday started off nice and relaxing. Just did some washing, the dishes and general cleaning. Had Bethany down for a nap at noon as she had to be at her dress rehersal (a 30 min drive away) just before 2.30. Spent an hour labelling all her stuff with her name and just making sure I had everything. Got her up at 1.15 and then the time just seemed to vanish. Got her hair done and some make up so I could get a photo of her in the costume she would wear when we weren't there and then changed her into the other costume that she had to arrive in. Loaded up the car and took off about 10mins late. Got her there 15 mins before she had to start. Put the rest of her makeup on, put her wig on and ran her in 2 mins late. ![]() ![]() ![]() We then had to wait 3 hours to pick her up. We were starving so went and got some lunch (yep, takeaway again) and then drove to Pete's parent's place ( a 30 min drive away) it seemed like only 20 mins and we were off again to pick Bethany up. Got home at about 6.00pm and had dinner, an actual home cooked meal. And that was my weekend. So my guess is that the scales won't be happy with my efforts but I will just do what I can to fix it this week. I am now trying to catch up on everyone's journals. I am not avoiding you all, I promise, I have just been really busy. I will also start tracking again, I promise. ![]() |
