It's holiday time....

Edit 7.30pm - Weigh in 67.3 (500 gram loss)
I haven't actually started packing yet.. But I am thinking about it. Won't have to take too much stuff as I can wash at both the apartment and at the in-laws - so just enough! Will pack once the kids have gone to bed tonight - final clean of the house - pack the car - pack car snacks, leappads etc then go to bed. Adelaide is about 5 hours from here - so we are planning to leave 5.30 - 6am - just putting the kids in the car in their PJ - then stopping at Bordertown for breakfast - sometime.

Before all of that tonight - I will slip into town for a weigh-in and fuel up the ute. As a said earlier I will be swapping back to points this week - being away and I imagine that it will be easier - but I am so looking forward to tracking again. I sort of miss it! I have felt so flat and tired all week - that I found that I was eating to keep awake, so time for a change and hopefully I will get my sleeping back into some order!
Other new?? My best friend, Monica had a baby girl yesterday morning! She was due on my birthday (7th Jan) but little Charlotte Jean arrived 11 days late, but very quickly and is HUGE 4.2kg (My first was only 2.2kg) but she is beautiful, has olive skin and dark hair. Mum is tired, but well. Emilie and I went into the hospital at Horsham to visit this morning. Emilie and I had lots of cuddles and Monica's other daughter Olivia was there so the girls had morning tea together!
Monica and I grew up together, on the same street, 5 houses down. Monica is 11 months younger then me, so I was a year above her a school. Not many people can say that they have had a friend since they where both in nappies! We have never had a fight, argue or anything. We are very different people and have different ideas and principles in just about everything, but we just both accept each other for what we are!
Jack has finished with the 'mission brown' mission and it look great. Amazing how a coat of paint can transform the look of a house. It doesn't look like a 70's home anymore.. more like a beach house... very fresh and summery!
I haven't had a lot of time to look through blogs this week... but have had a quick flick through some... so hello everyone anyway. I might post while at my in-laws... so you might get a holiday update, maybe even with a photo (if I remember to bring my USB cord!)

Enjoy your holiday!! I remember being one of the kids in the back seat. Reading was the only thing that killed the boredom, but then it would make me carsick - urk! With any luck your kids get to sleep through a bit of it.

By the way, I love all the colours on your blog - so lovely to read!

Yay for the 500g loss! I hope that you have a fantiastic holiday. I have a friend that I have known since I was in nappies too - I dont know what I would do without her. Some friends come into your life and leave again, but the ones who have been there for your childhood, teenage years and now adulthood are extremely precious.

Love est x
