Bread

I eat too much of it so I am now allowing myself bread at lunch time and NO OTHER TIME!
Not with dinner, or breakfast, or as a snack.
Not on a train, not in the rain .....

I ahve, once again, been gaining the kgs so it's back to losing the kgs. Which means back to the gym at least 3 days a week (easier now that H is at school) and no snacking after dinner and 3 meals a day with the bare minimum of snacks if ABSOLUTELY necessary.

So this morning was my first weigh in - 84.3kg (see told you I was putting it back on!)

Wedding

So 3 years ago was the eve of our wedding and I was hanging out at Waipuna Hotel with my parents and sisters - actually we went out for dinner and got our nails done :)

3rd wedding anniversary is leather - which offers up all sorts of interesting ideas that nobody should buy their beloved unless they are into that sort of thing then go for it.

We have a very VERY busy next few weeks - this weekend is 48 hours so it will be manic and funny and annoying all at the same time from 7pm Friday till 7pm Sunday.
Then H is back at kindy on Monday, Thursday is his birthday (and last day at kindy), we are going out for dinner on Thursday night then off to Wellington (very) early Friday morning.

I am also trying to get a few projects finished (J's bunny, the pictures for his wall) and we want to get J's sleep sorted out - after a very long night for everyone last night.

Babysitting?

It really REALLY pisses me off when people say their partner (the father of their children) is "babysitting". As in - "well so-and-so is babysitting so I can go shopping". Or "i'll have to check if so-and-so can babysit" ....

WTF people???? It's their children too!!! Just because we were the ones to go through pregnancy/childbirth does not mean that we should have to take all the responsibility for the kids! Men make them too, you know. And maybe because we had them - YOU should have to look after them more often!

(And this is not about Dylan because he is fantastic at looking after the kids - he knows he has equal responsibility for that one)

I'm talking about all those dads who think it's ok to go and drink with their mates while their partners stay at home all day and evening with THEIR kids. But God forbid the mum could possible ever have a night out without checking first that the dad is going to be ok staying home.

Just, you know, if it's your children then looking after them is NOT babysitting - it is called parenting!

Rant over!!!
