Having said last entry that I need to do this more often, it has still been 2 months since my last entry. Thats not because I have nothing to say or that nothing goes on in my life. I simply forget I have a blog!
October was its usual 'flat out with birthdays' month. Cody turned 5 on the 17th and had a total of 4 celebrations - cake and singing at Kindy (wed), cake and singing at Daycare (Thur) , a little party at home on his birthday (Fri) and a larger party for his Kindy friends on the Saturday.
My birthday was very sedate in comparison. We had a special dinner at home on the Wednesday and I invited some friends for afternoon tea and some crafting on Saturday. Unfortunately with all the bad party food around my diet has suffered (and my skin is showing the results) so from here on in, its back to the grindstone and on with (or off with) the weight loss.
That should be easier to achieve now that I have more time to exercise, courtesy of having walked out on my job. I dont think I ever again want to work where my kids are. I never got in trouble for what I did as staff, only for what I did as a parent! I found working at 'that place' very stressful and unpleasant and was hanging out for the end of the year when my contract ended. Unfortunately the school decided to take exception to something I did as a parent - which I would do again in a heartbeat - and threatened to terminate my contract. I decided I had had enough and left. I feel so much happier knowing I dont have to go back and no longer have to race around like a headless chook getting to daycare and back to the school again. No more leaving home at 7.50. Yeehah.
