Hey Lorelle.... glad you made it here! love your birth story. And as Nat says - you are definately going to fit in well in this group.

sorry girls, I've been MIA for quite a while. Life has been hectic... as you can imagine.
Mother in Law left today. I shed a tear or two. She is just sooooo sweet. i am really going to miss her. And it has hit Yariv pretty hard today. He keeps saying "my mummy's gone... I miss my mum". You would think he's 3 - not 33. Poor guy. He hasn't seen her for years (we visited about 2.5 years ago for 2 weeks)... and we have no idea when we will see her again

We went to the movies tonight to cheer him up a bit. My parents took Shaun, and we went to the drive in with Shelli. Really handy - as I was able to give her a good booby feed in the privacy of my car! Mind you, my boobies are just not enough for her. She sucks for a while... then has a bottle every time. I'm okay with that. At least she's getting some booby - which is more then Shaun got. I will try to express more often now that MIL has gone, and I'll be at home a little more.

Hey Christine... I didn't know you had a 33yo husband... same as me!

I was meant to start the NY body challenge today.... but it went downhill pretty quickly. I should have known when I prepared my oats this morning and took a mouthful... only to discover my milk expired yesterday. Eewwww. Then at the drive-in I went nuts on so much junk food. I feel like I've put on 2kg just this evening!

I booked Shaun in for swim classes again. Starts on the 2nd Feb. We're doing Saturday classes this time at a different swim centre. Then Yariv can come to mind Shelli, or my stepmum can either mind her or come to the class. It's funny, because I mentioned I was a life guard, and the owner of the swim centre asked if I taught. I said "not officially... I worked in London and taught people to swim there because I was the best swimmer they had... but I've not got any training". She said I should do the training because they need teachers. And my previous gym were always after swim teachers too. And then I went to the hospital today to return something - and in the lift was advertising for aquamum classes (aqua aerobics for pregnant women). So I thought that was a sign! I mentioned it to Yariv & he's not fussed. I might look into what it takes to get qualified as a swim teacher. The lady at the swim centre said you can work your hours around kids. So definately worth a thought.

I even thought about tupperware recently. For some reason I got an urge to buy tupperware (or ask for it for my birthday). Then I thought... I should become a consultant - then I'll get it cheap - and try to earn a few $$ at the same time. I'm not sure what is involved... so I might check it out. Never thought I would ever be a tupperware consultant in my life. I usually avoid those "parties" like the plague!

Talking of plague... we saw "I am Legend" tonight - the Will Smith movie. Not bad. Although, not as good as "in pursuit of Happyness".

Now... appologies again for not doing personals. But I hope to be a lot more attentive from now on. With MIL gone, and Yariv back at work - I won't feel so guilty being on the computer during the day time. Mind you... with my NY resolution to "not spend so much time online"... I've got to get productive during the day to get everything done.

Nat: did you get the excel WW calculator from one of the girls? If not, I can email it to you. And I cleaned up the weightloss website - to remove all the information about the previous contestants. So it's just articles now. should be easier to read

Well... hugs to all. Oh, look at that 1.30am. No sign of going to bed... too many things to do. when will I ever get to bed before midnight ????????????
