I LIKE MONDAYS

The start of another week, it's going to be a good week, I can just feel it.

Jabber Jaws and Miss Stroppy are off to school, oh yeah. Brylee has been put on a discipline programme at school, the little tart has been punching other kids when she doesn't get her own way.... she is so much like her "mother" that it is scary... remember, I'm her Mum and Grandma, not her birth mother. Just another hiccup along the way, and certainly nothing for me to get all worried about, think I've been there, done that once too often already. Oh the joys of parenthood.....

Firstly.... I went and had my blood test, and it didn't even hurt! I am such a sook. Then I did my cardio workout at the gym, didn't do the weight programme as I did it yesterday... so am feeling all hot and sweaty now.

Not much else is happening right now, Stew has gone to Wellington for the day, hopefully he gets back at a decent time. Right, I'm off to hit the shower and have some lunch... surimi and coleslaw, yum yum.

I went out to get Izzy and take her for a walk, and my oh my, she's been having fun this morning! Mike must have left his bedroom door open somehow (the one leading onto the deck), cos Izzy had been BAD !!! Look what happens to Biology Textbooks when left with a dog....



















She also had a go at his socks, shirt, cap, ornamental swords (lucky they aren't sharp!), and the MOST LUCKY THING OF ALL, his door leading into the rest of the house was closed. I dread to think of what mischief she would have got up to with free run of the house. errrrrrr
- Lee-Anne, I take Frusemide AND Spironolactone, both piddle pills, and have been taking them for 17 years!!! Some days they work, some days they don't.

Mike is a bit gutted by what Izzy did, but no point crying over spilt milk...dinners in the oven (chicken casserole) and I'm off to the gym again tonight.... ya hoo.

Back from the gym, last week I didn't enjoy Bodypump, this week I loved it! The instructor talked to me before it started and advised me to do squats when everyone else was doing lunges (I can't do lunges due to bad knee), and it was great! I followed 99% of the class, I ROCKED ! ha ha ha.

If you read about the "video of Saturday Night", rest assured it is never going to see the light of day... not even on his 21st Birthday, in fact I am going to erase it. It is too graphic and humiliating for the kid, and he doesn't need or want to see it. I am simply not that mean. He knows what it shows, he is gutted and probably will never allow himself to get that wasted again (GOD I HOPE SO).

It's wind down time now, put the kids to bed and relax time.... so that's me for the day. I'm proud of myself for having the blood test, for going to the gym twice, for eating healthy for another day, and being a nice mum. nite nite.

  2. Gosh - you did have an eventful weekend - but love your writing style - I cracked up reading Mike's tale of woe. I'm the mother of sons too- so can relate to some of the wacky things they do in the name of growing up. Hope your blood tests pinpoint some direction for you Have a great week
    Cheers

  4. Yuck-o-la - I hate having blood taken from me. And you actually went to the gym afterward, good for you!:-)

    And your title for Mondays is awesome - I usually hate'em, but you made me feel a little more optimistic.

    Well, it's Monday in your part of the world, not mine! I still have about 12 hours!

  6. Yo, Queenofmycastle, I'm sure you didn't mean to imply that Andrew "beats" the boys eh? It didn't sound nice and I'm sure you meant "play fight" with the boys. lol I will email ya lata re: necklace.

  8. I'm afraid I don't share the same happy feelings when it comes to Mondays. In our world, anything that can go wrong happens on a Sunday or Monday. So far so good today, but it's not over yet.

    I've spent many a night staying up watching over kids who've written themselves off for the same reasons you did. Can think of better highlights but would rather it happen at home than somewhere else.

    Boy, did you have a tough week last week. Hope these tests will find something positive for you. I know it's such a buggar when you're always battling something. Really strange about your fluid retention. I'd be quite curious to find out about that myself. Have you tried frucidmide(sp). My mum used to have that and it seemed to work.

    Will catch up soon. Dealing with "teenager" issues myself at the moment.

  10. Help me out here, I have no idea what surimi is?
    and you are a fabulous mother! Mike should be very happy that you're willing to erase the tape. If it was me I would be keeping it to use later. But i'm a bitch!!
    Nighty night honey.
