99 days.

hello australia!
so first of all - the coutdown has begun! (well technically it started yesterday but i missed it) soooo in 99 days i will be in australia! at the sydney airport! woooooo! are you excited? i'm excited!
and secondly - holey mother of jesus my arm is killing me! after spin yesterday, as one would naturally assume their legs would be killing them, but noooo, from the weights, i have pulled a muscle. and it kills my whole right arm - i can barely extend it fully.
today i didnt exercise, i just rested my muscles, and it was raining so i couldnt even go for a walk. not that im complaining - i loved staying at home doing nothing.
did the washing, and after the kids got home i only had the twisn so we went to stop and shop, got some dvds, and some food then came home to chill.
i skyped with grandma, once she realised how to turn on her webcam lol
now i am going to a friends to watch movies.
goodnight xo

snow.

hey.
so my plan of no snow at all, went straight down the drain last night.
over night it snowed. egh. when i woke up there was maybe an inch or two of snow all over everything although it was raining, so all the snow was melting. yay.
the kids still wore all of there snow gear to school though.
so after they left i put on my gym clothes and drive to laurens and then we went to the gym to do a spin class aka hell.
it was horrible. half an hour of spin and then half an hour of upper body work with weights.
the class instructor would be yelling "faster! faster!" "you can do thissssss!" and so naturally i didn't stop, because i was a little scared. but boy did it burn. i did 18km after the half hour and was pretty damn impressed.
then the upper body was sit up after sit up after plank, with little to no down time. i thought the muscles in my stomach were going to explode. i may even have died a little..
but when we were down, and covered in sweat and looking disgusting, i felt gooood.
so i am going to go every thursday i think. and its free. so thats a bonus.
then i went in to stop and shop to get some avacados and tomatoes (to have on my toast for lunch) and then to the library to pick up 'salem falls' and 'the lucky one' which were put on hold for me.
came home, ate, showered, read my book, napped, kids came home.
i made dinner, got harrison off to tae kwon do and then th boys and rachel (to watch) off to cub scouts.
now i am finished and waiting for vampire diaries.
oh and speaking of fantatsic shows, i didnt actually watch one tree hill last night because i realised i hadnt watched the last two episodes from season eight, so i had to catch them up last night.
i watched the episode from last night today instead, and oh my god, it just keeps getting better. i think this will be the best season yet. so sad its the final one though.
well goodnight xo

sigh..

hey.
i am missing home. alot.
a year is too long.
i think i am just worn out.
two weeks at boambee will be sure to fix that right up :)
today - the usual. except the kids missed the bus, i drove them.
then i did the washing and cleaning, read my book - which is fantastic by the way, and had a nanna nap.
i think i am the best nanna napper ever. i can just close my eyes and sleep. just like that.
got up an hour later, worked out and went for a jog.
folded washing, read more book, showered.
the kids came home. i made them nuggets and smiles for dinner because i was feeling extra nice, and it is like their favourite food ever.
took harrison to scouts. got the kids showered and in bed by 7:15. and now i am finished.
in 40 minutes one tree hill season nine starts! the final season!
so excited! goodnight! xo

it hurts.

hey!
well after working out yesterday my stomach feels like someone belted it with a bat of some sort..
and today after the kids went to school i finished my book, did some cleaning, fell asleep waiting for the freezer man to come, i worked out. because i am just that dedicated.
then lauren came and we went for a jog.
homework took foreveeeerrrrrrrr this afternoon, the twins helped make spag bol for dinner, and then i went to starbucks. i didnt really want to but linnea wanted me to read over her cover letter for a fashion job in london, so i went, and i missed 90210 and jane by design, but not to worry i can watch them tomorrow online. like i have to watch gossip girl right now online because it is on monday nights at the same time as pretty little liars - so inconvienient.
and my cosmo came today! pretty much the highlight of my month.
oh and is started a new book tonight called 'life as we knew it' i will let you know how it goes.
goodnight! xo

shower cleaning..

hello!
well today was a busy day.
once i got up and made lunches, breakfast, got the kids dressed and ready, i put on two load of washing.
swept, vaccumed, wiped, cleaned bathrooms and then cleaned the shower curtain - it was disgusting.
i ahve been putting it off all this time. so i did a little googling and found that the easiest way would be to fill the tub up with hot water, add some bleach and just un attach the curtain from the hooks and lowerer it in.
20 minutes later it was beautifully white! although when i went back in the fumes of the bleach were so strong that i had to improvise a mouth mask with a tea towel and hair tie.
and it must of worked because i didn't get high or pass out.
then i folded the washing. squeezed in a before lunch nanna nap for half an hour.
did my workout, went for a jog, showered, made biscuits, folded more washing, cleaned my room, opened my package from steph peters which was a beautiful ring but it broke.. i think i could get it fixed somewhere, hopefully.
the kids came home, we did homework for two hours - kill me - got all the kids showered, i made dinner, cleaned up anddddd now i am finished!
big day. i am so tired.
time for pj's, hot cuppa and pretty little liars. ahhhh, bliss.

best lunch.

hey!
today i actually left the house! :O
yes, i got up, got dressed actually did my hair and makeup and met the girls at a place called 'meadows' for lunch.
i got soup, a spring roll, pork fried rice and beef and brocolli stirfry for $8.00! including the tip!
will definately be going back for their lunch special again.
then we went to the mansion to chill.
we watched 'friends with benefits', had a delicious omlette for an early dinner, and then watched 'dance moms' which is a show on tv, similar to 'toddlers and tiaras' only dancing. equally as ridiculous and wrong.. but so addictive.
came home at about 7, had a shower, made a hot chocolate, put on a face mask and now i am watching 'once upon a time' and relaxing before work tomorrow.
oh and you will be pleased to know that my nails are slowly growing back to their magnificant selves.
and another thing about america - on tv in america ads for products will purposly diss another product to make themselves look better. an example - forget pop tarts, toaster strudels are the ones kids wanna eat. and thats exactly what they say on the ad.
thats all. goodnight xo

bed.

hey!
so you know how i said i wasn't really doing anything this weekend?
well today at least, i didnt.
absolutely nothing.
the only time i left my room was to pee, or get food.
thats it.
i just watched tv, read my book, anddd thats it.
oh i did request my flight home.
and i found out that my tour ends on the 18th not the 17th so i will only be back in hartford for about 15 hours before i get on my flight to australia on the 19th.
and the weather today was 15 celcius. even though its the middle of winter.
i am praying that it wont snow this winter!
well i am going to watch a movie.
night xo
