Big Bus girl....




Bless her heart... so excited and eager.. little is she to yet realise that each morning and night for the next 13 or 14 years will be spent at the bus stop... or waiting for the bus... or on the bus!! It is only 10 km to town, but they drop the kids at the High school, then the primary school, then the private school.. then last bus stop is the Kindergarten... so she is on there for nearly 30 minutes.


She was fine!! She knows a few of the bigger kids on the bus and Jack did the first run with her. No issues at all. Tomorrow will see her on the bus on her own!


The lovely Linda reminded me recently in my comments that I am yet to reveal my 30th Birthday present from my husband... something that I will wear for the rest of my life!!! Two new tattoo's... While in Adelaide we made an appointment with Pete from Tattoo You in Klemzig... The place was so clean and very professional.... that really put my mind at ease!!! One on my foot and one of my lower back. I forget about them already... What do you think???

Do you know how hard it is to take a photo of your own back????

I just got an email from my little sister who is living in Melbourne doing her grad. year with a large accounting firm and she has just found out that she has to work good Friday.. WFT??? She is coming home next weekend and she thinks it will be the last time for a while.. so looking forward to catching up with her!!

My food as been great! I have stopped tracking and find I hardly eat anything I shouldn't!!! I think when I track I make room for shit... does that sound stupid?? Anyway.. trial and error... just seeing how it goes with no tracking! I love where my head is with food. I have great food habits most of the time. I find sometimes, with certain friends, I eat more. I think that is because they are the ones that always comment about "WW food" and "You can't eat that"... like I have a mouth.. and I can eat what I want!! Anyway.. I think my brain goes into auto mode and I eat more.. "I will show you.. I can eat this shit and still wear my size 10 jeans"... stupid!! Anyway.. working on that!!

Ok.. better go and make Phil famous meatloaf for tea!!! Yummo and ALL the kids eat it!!

7pm Edit: The foot is a butterfly thing or maybe even a Dragon fly.. It has wings!!!! and Yep.. it fuckin' killed!! NO MORE!!!! I had to almost get him to stop!! I went pale, my palms where sweating... awful.. but worth it!!

And you use Cracked Wheat for tabouli (A salad with parsley, mint tomato sometimes feta..)

Hehe, you should try taking a getting-on-the-bus-for-the-first-time-this-year photo each year and see how many you get away with.

Love your tattoos, is the one on your foot a dragonfly? It's either hard to tell from that angle or I proof that I should wear the glasses which have been prescribed to me.

I completely get your eating and not tracking. Lately I have been eating healthily, essentially what I feel like, and only doing a rough count at the end of the day if I am still hungry and feel I have come close to going over. If go over it's fine, but I just want to know roughly by how much. So rather than keep a salad roll to minimum points to allow chocolate, I'll have cheese, avo and mayo and really enjoy every mouthful - and a really funny thing happens: I do not go looking for sweets. I have always thought that this was how maintaining weight would work, but I am finding that I can lose weight without counting every little morsel on paper - yay!

Poor wee girl, her bag is almost as big as her! Love the tattos, I've got one on the back of my neck and want one more of a fish... can't decide where to put it though.

Thanks for sharing YM. I have tried and tried to photograph the one on my lower back but I just can't do it... Did the foot one hurt? Glad to hear your gorgeous girl got off ok - it helps when they are happy.

Giant bag!! I have just been out buying my two eldest new school bags for their first day at their new school tomorrow. Poor things are so stressed out about it.

30 minutes on the bus each morning? That must get old.

"Im bringing sexy back..."

I love the flower on your back. Its beautiful. I cant really see the other though so I cant comment.

30 minutes on the bus. Man she'll be a regular little socialite by next week!

I caught the bus ll my school years from age 4 to year 12. I grew up out in the stix too and the walk to the bus stop was 2km's. I reckon it makes you grow up and become independant being able to do this from a young age and all.
Love your tatt's, wish I had the guts to get one. I'd get a Pirahna fish on my shoulder :)
Oh, and when mjy tummy gets smaller, a belly ring :)
But, even tho I had 4 kids, I am a woos LOL.
