ANOTHER SPELD DAY AHEAD...

Life certainly seems to have settled into the familiar routine again... today Griffin goes to his Speld lesson... which means I get to kill time by reading on me Kindle while he has his lesson.


Daugher No# 2 is OK for now... resting lots I hope and not taking any risks.  Fingers crossed that continues and grandbaby number 9 stays where she is until July.


Been discussing baby names with Lacy:  
He wants Jody
She wants Shyla
I love HALO... yes Laura... I got the idea from your darling wee granddaughter!


Somehow I think baby might be named Shyla!  lol
But all of that doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things ... right now all I care about is that she does not come too early.


I've been thinking a lot about my diet lately.
Before now I have not been focused on the 'long term' implications of being overweight... health wise.
Now that my Mum has diabetes, like my Dad ... I am starting to seriously re-think my motives for wanting to lose weight.
I've always said it was so I would be fitter and healthier... but most likely what really mattered most was how I felt about how I LOOKED first and foremost!
Yes, that sounds vain... I know!  But it's true.
The other benefits of being a 'normal' weight were like wonderful  'side effects' ... BUT NOT ANYMORE.
I am really thinking about the likely implications of being overweight, and all of a sudden... it worries me!


So, just as well I'm going to the Dr's tomorrow.  I want to discuss all sorts of things.  I want a diabetes test, my blood pressure tested, my overall health checked... the WORKS!
AND I will be ringing to find out my results too!
I won't wait to hear NOTHING. 


So, with all that being said... I'll bugger off and do some freakin housework before I have to pick up Griffin....


Oh and I just remembered... I've got flies hatching in the frog terrarium!  Yaaa... food for the frogs!  Now ... go and eat YOUR breakfast..... *lol*


ONWARD...


This morning I decided to go and visit another OP SHOP in Manurewa, it's actually just across the road from the Hospice Shop, but I had never been in it.
So, it's a similar size to ours, and their prices are reasonable.
I actually managed to find something to buy too!  Funny that.

ABOVE: I found this adorable wee dress and warm jumper for Lacy's baby.   I don't know why I'm buying all this stuff cos I'm sure Amanda can pass down a few of Emily's clothes to her!
Maybe?   I know the girls are not getting on right now... but hey, that can change.  They are sisters afterall.  


Back from Griffin's speld lesson... feeling tired for no apparent reason.  
Going to try and 'grow' me own flies too... just put a couple of flies in a container with food and water, and crushed weetbix... fingers crossed they make eggs ?
It can't be THAT HARD surely???


Can I throttle me kids?  Seriously, sometimes they argue so much I just want to bang their heads together.  I've got a headache now.


Stew just got home from work and said "Happy Birthday" to Coco!  She is 2 today!  I had forgotten.  DOH.


End of Day:  expecting Mike to visit us tonight.  He's in Auckland for the national netball tournament.
ON TRACK: nope, blew it tonight.  Stressed out.
nite nite.
