A very tired girl

G'day..............well I can't believe it is already Tuesday.

Lets see, where to begin:

Friday:
Went to a friends on Friday night and had Chinese for dinner and I was a excellent with my choices and took one of those HUGE pump water's with me.

Saturday:
Went to the hair dressers at 10am and got out of there at 1pm.........LOL.
Got my hair coloured but not cut (I like the length it is at the moment) and then got it styled for the Xmas party. She was originally going to straighten it but I decided to have it curled instead which was a major mistake because 5 hours after visiting the hair dressers it had all fallen out and my hair just felt like a big hairsprayed mess PLUS I was having a fat day (got TOM the following day) and Andrew 'mentioned' that my new top I had bought with Helena the week before looked a little tight around the stomach area (not a good thing to say to a pre-mentral women). I took it off and then made him stand there for 20 minutes until we were both satisfied with what I was wearing (exactly the same thing I had worn the year before). I do get my make-up right though (I think) maybe the eyeliner was a bit of a disaster but I still looked respectable.

Drank bourbon all night which I haven't drank for about 8 years, dunno why I decided to that night - oh yeah that's right, the wine was horrible BUT did manage to last until the end (thank heavens for small miracles) and got home resonably sober at about midnight.

Let me backtrack for a minute - as we were walking out the door (taxi was tooting) Andrew was getting Reece into his PJ's and called me to look at a couple of spots on his belly - yep you guessed it - CHICK BLOODY POX!

Sunday:
Morning was spent dabbing calomine lotion over poor Reece who was by this time absolutely covered in spots.............poor wee poppet.
I popped into the chemist and spent a fortune on him and then headed off to the bloggers Xmas picnic at Harcourts park. I gotta say, this was the highlight of my weekend. All the ladies are just lovely and so easy to get on with. Sue is brilliant for organising it and started us all off with a glass of bubbly. I got to meet the gorgeous Ang from the Wairarapa who I have been blogging with for ages and never met (hi honey) and Janene and Chris made it from Palmy and it was also nice to meet Chris for the first time. Ang also bought a couple of girls who were really funny and great to talk to (mind you I never get enough time to really talk to anyone for very long) and of course Karen and Rachel were there when we turned up but could only stay for a short while due to her double booking us (tut tut Karen), and of course the wonderful Helena who turned up with Craig on his Harley and looked like the perfect biker chick!!!!!!!!!!

Got home that night and basically just blobbed and continuously dabbed lotion on Reece.

Monday:
Stayed home with Reece as he still had spots appearing. The nights are really bad as he heats up and then scratches (a big no no) but he is brilliant during the day and watched DVD's and played so I decided to finally paint the spare bedroom. I tottled off to Bunnings after Dad got home from Golf so he could watch Reece and bought some paint which I thought was really nice and totally different from what was in there and ........................... its one shade darker than what was already on the wall.........hahahahaha.

I then got the urge to bake so I made 8 dozen (yep 8!) mini Xmas pies because the 4 dozen I had made last week have gone (not in my mouth by the way).

Tuesday:
Had another shocker of a night with Reece (my poor boy) but he is again 100% during the day and we hunted out the old playstation 1 this morning and he is in heaven so I put another coat of paint on the wall and have now taken off the masking tape and put the furniture back and it looks great.

Just threw a chicken in the oven for dinner and have decided NOT to go to weigh in tonight because (pathetic excuse number 1) I feel fat and bloated and (pathetic excuse number 2) I am going to go and deliver all my mini Xmas pies to a few different people and I won't have enough time to fit everything in.

That brings me to now.................

Just going to make myself a coffee I think and get 10 minutes rest before Andrew and Adam arrive home. Everyone tells me Adam will get it in about 10 days time which I'm not looking forward to as he is such a sook at the best of times but when he is sick he is like hubby - the world is coming to an end - oh well, the joys of parenthood.

By the way, I do have photo's coming out of my ears of the weekend that was but the camera is in hubby's car........stay tuned, I will post them hopefully tonight.
