Also i had lunch with my friend Heather today and we went to burwood to check out the target sale.

1. I am thankful that i am going to see my family this afternoon (YAY!)
2. I am thankful for Bronwyn, the office lady at church, especially as she is making me a cup of tea right now.
3. I am extremely thankful for my electric blanket and the ability to be warm!!

errrrgghhh!

So since last post i have been sick as the proverbial dog, yuck! I felt like i had been hit by a truck on Friday but kept pushing on through until about 2.30 when i just couldnt do it anymore! I went home, had a cry and went to bed. I slept through til 9.30am the next day only getting up for an hour for dinner.

Saturday i slept alot and lay in the sun with chocolate for a few hours with bec and jo and their families - they have such cute little boys!

Sunday i was feeling a bit better - cold moving to the chest from the head. It was probably for the best as it was a massive church day, church at 8, 10 and then Christianity explored lunch at 12, playtime meeting at 3 and then set up for church dinner at 5.30 followed by church at 7pm - oh my!

So i have been taking it really easy today, i ventured out to the shops but then came home for a rest..no zumba i think and hopefully back to full strength tomorrow!

Goals!

I was reading this blog and it has inspired me to make a few goal for the next few weeks:

1. no more hot chocolates or diet coke (peppermint tea instead)
2. Exercise 6hrs a week (except when sick - like now, so much green stuff coming out my nose!)
3. Read one useful book a fortnight
4. Pray and read my bible daily
5. enforce financial lockdown until holiday (No more DVD's or CD's, no more buying books, stop using credit card, stop buying things online)
6. think of one thing to be thankful for at work each day.

So there are some goal, hurrah!

Next week i am off to see my family and i seriously cant wait! its been too long! its only going to be a short visit but i am stockpiling gifts for people :)

My parents and sister & her hubby have both bought new houses recently which is very exciting and my babies (neice and nephews) are growing up so quickly!

Last night we did some tests at boot camp and even though i am sick i improved in almost everything. I am most proud of my running improvement - i went up a whole level! but i now need to work on my core strength - ie i have none!

Work this week is focused on an upcoming kids club and womens event as well as a wedding coming up! Busy busy but finding it hard to be motivated - maybe cos i'm sick. I really wish i wasnt i want to exercise - the city2surf is only 6 weeks away and my goal is to get rid of 5kg before then, i wish!

ok thats enough rambling for me, better get to work - scripture and playgroup this morning!!
