Sunset here in the whops ..

Yes their is a little face under all that hair!

My little Missy has discovered hairbands ...

Ahem ..

Yes their is a face under all that hair .. LOL!

This is the way it's supposed to go MUM !

Getting silly with it all ..

"Prettying" herself up she reckons ..

Frustration ...

*WARNING*
Big pity me post coming ahead !!!!
Urgghh
.. I'm lost
.. I've lost a little put on a bit .. lost a little .. put on a bit .. and now are at only 100g off what I was when BL7 started
.... it's driving me bananas ..
... and I only have 4.2 kg to go to my goal ...
.. but I've been at that for the last 2 months (at myself)
Urggghhh
I think I've still got a body image issue .. and all the wonderful comments about how much weight I've lost can work a little against me too .. in that I think (subconsciously) .. oh well having this (treat/snack/extra portion) won't really hurt .. when all of them add up ...
4pm is getting to be my hardest time of the day ... AGAIN!!!!!
This week will also be hard with hubby being away all week .. Abbie's birthday, a party on Sat night .. and then Abbie's party on Sunday ..
.. Expect LOTS of moaning and angst this week ..
URGHHHH!
I just feel like .. sad huh?

Playgroup Morning Tea

Just my luck .. half of the kids/families didn't turn up to Playgroup on Wednesday ..

But ..

Cam and Michael's class came over to do some baking in the hall

.. so the class and teacher ended up helping us finish off the cake and party food ..

I think Cam and Mike thought that was kinda neat

.. coz they said to me later that they'd forgotten to come over at morning tea time..

A false start

Some of the kids

Me blowing out the candles because Abbie wouldn't!

Lets just stare at the cake huh? ... "It's bootiful Mum .. I like my Cake!"

Abbie's Playgroup Birthday Cake

Now this was very rushed and will be tidied up before we go .. but you get the general idea ..

I couldn't find a ballerina for the music box for love or money

.. so a little My Little Pony .. was the next best option .. and one she'll probably like better anyway!

     

 

Abbie and Cam ... checking the progress out ..
