Wednesday 14th June
I finally set up bloglines today to try and make my blogging as efficient as possible. Once I set up a favourite that meant whenever I was visiting a blog I wanted to add to my list, I could just click on - this made it a lot more simple and will now ensure that I don't 'forget' to visit. However there were a couple of blogs that would not let me set up as a link. So Paulene and CM I will have to be more vigilant to visit you. LOL
Oh and you guys have to see this. Chris had this link on her blog and I just absolutely cacked myself. If you are a fan of Drew Carey or Richard Simmons - this is for you. Just give it a bit of time to warm up then watch the screen in the top right corner.

Today is day 21 and according to the GCC website I have walked 341,167 steps, 218kms, and have kept an average of 15,508 steps per day. We are currently in Chilung, Taiwan and only 2kms till we hit Tokyo. I am pretty happy with this. Our team has been keeping in the top 50 overall and top 10 in our company but we have slipped back a little as so many teams are averaging over 22,000 steps a day. I know how hard it is for me to get that many in one day per week so I can't imagine how they are fitting it in. Good on them. I am just happy to be pushing myself.

Tuesday 13th June
Purchased a new product today. A Vapour-Plug by Sudaclear. It works like a vapouriser without the water. As both boys have had a stuffed up or runny nose the last couple of days I thought I would try it to see if it helped with the night time stuffiness and coughing. It did. I really like this and now that Oscar is mobile at night it is a bit safer than putting a water filled vapouriser in the middle of the room.

Monday 12th June
As today was a public holiday Mark took Darcy to see Cars at the movies. Darcy loves them and the movie was brilliant by all accounts. The movie was at 10.00am so they were out of the house by 9.30am. I had already done a million loads of washing and wanted to go for a walk. So I put Oscar in the pram and decided to surprise Mark and Darcy by walking to the Movie Theatre. In Chatswood. 10kms away. It was GREAT!! I made good time. There were no stairs. It was sunny. Cold - but sunny. And it was such a good surprise. I was considering walking back but thought better of it as I needed to get home to do another million loads of washing.
This is when we discovered that the hot water system had blown up and was flooding the backyard. So no hot water. No shower. No bath. Bugger. When it is freezing cold washing yourself with a flannel dipped into a sink full of boiled water just really isn't the same as luxuriating in a bubble bath. LOL.
Weighed in at 77.4 so maintained for the week.

Sunday 11th June
I don't want any more children. The two I have are enough for me and I love them both. But there was something sad about giving the cot away and seeing it in another childs room. I am so happy that I am able to do it, and that someone else will get good use out of a piece of furniture that has many many years left in it. But my babies have slept in there. My babies have laughed, played, cried, been sick, been happy in it. Lots of memories. And now I will set about making new memories out of a new piece of furniture. Which I am sure will be as great as the others.

Saturday 10th June
The morning walk with Mary and Cath was cancelled. My lovely DH decided to get absolutely rat-arsed last night and I made the decision that I would drive the boys to tennis this morning. With double demerits and a really strong 'no drink driving' rule in my house I could not let him drive. But next Saturday is the Nordic Walking so looking forward to catching up and walking then. AND Mark is on a strict dry policy for Friday night.
I made a lamb roast for dinner and had heaps and heaps of vegetables and it was sensational (if I do say so myself). It has been over a year since I did a roast but with the visitors compliments still ringing in my ears I think the next roast will be a little sooner in coming ;D
And we had great shenanigans with the big bed sleeping. I heard Oscar give a little cry about 10.00pm. And ignored it. As I usually do. Then I heard another one about 15 minutes later. A bit more insistent. So I thought I would investigate.
I opened the door slowly and crawled in the pitch black room.
I felt over the bed to see where he was - no body in that bed.
I patted down the carpet around the bed - no one there.
I widened my search wondering where the heck he could be and couldn't find him.
I heard another little cry.
From under Darcy's bed.
Way back wedged up against the wall and bookcase.
I pulled him out.
He was still asleep.
I put him back in his bed
I crawled out and pulled the door shut.
Then absolutely pissed myself laughing telling Mark about it.

Friday 9th June
My baby boy slept in a big bed for the first time tonight. We are giving away the cot to friends of ours and we decided that this weekend would be it. Instead of buying a new bed (which we will later) we pulled the trundle out and made that up for him. He was so proud and we had lots of cuddles. He only rolled out once and I replaced him before I went to bed.
Oscar is growing up - (He is 22 months old)

Thursday 8th June
I made Mary's Vegetable and Barley Soup tonight and it was sensational. What a great way to have a filling meal at such low points. I think that I will make it again and perhaps add a chicken and use the stock I make instead of the vege stock. It will bump up the points a bit but I think it will be even more tasty (because I am such a carnivore)
