Its been one of those days from start to finish!!!
Lilah is ill, I thought it was just a cold as she is snotty and has a cough, but now I think it may be something more. She has been a super cling on all day and her temp was up to 38.8 tonight, she has just cried for me all day. Its been hard.
Grace has been naughty all day, tantrums, doing the exact of what I ask, and actually being mean to Lilah for the first time ever. This is all mainly while we were out, and I had no "Naughty step" to put her on, and I think she knew that.
I decided to go to my Mum's today. My brother left his key here a few days ago and needed it back, so I said I would take the girls over.
We arranged to me in Arnold (The town centre of where my Mum lives) and I said I would call her as I got close.
Its 2 buses frommy house to get into Arnold, though in a car its about 7 mins. Its all uphill though for half the way, it really would kill most people to walk! Though the second half is downhill.
I got the first bus, and the stop it drops me off at, is the same stop I need to get the next bus from. So you can imagine how I felt as I saw the bus I needed pull off as I got off the first bus!! Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait for the next one. 25 mins. I went to cash point, bought Grace a sarnie, and both of us a drink. And then we waited for the next one. It arrived, but wouldnt let me on as there were 2 buggies on there already. I was gutted. But what annoyed me more, was the two on there had toddlers in of at least 3! Why couldn't one of those Mum's take her 3yr old out and fold her buggy so I could get on?? I was rather annoyed.
I couldnt be bothered to wait around for another bus, so, feeling brave I decided to walk into Arnold from there. It took me exactly an hour. It was quite a nice walk, but I am SO unfit it really did kill me! Plus I was pushing a 2yr old and an 8 month old along with all the stuff you have to take out for them! And most of the way I was walking into the wind, which was pretty hard work.
I then wondered round Arnold with my Mum. Visited my sick Nanna (broke my heart) and piked up a few bits I needed. All in all, i was walking all day, and didn't get back to my Mums until 5.30ish and as we got to her door, Matt pulled up to pick me up.
Since getting home, I have cooked Grace tea, tidied up, cleaned kitchen, hung out a wash, put another wash on, sorted Lilah, hoovered whole of downstairs, made our tea, blah blah, and I am SHATTERED.
I have WW tomorrow and I dont know how I am feeling about it. Negative, but I think that is partly due to me being so tired and feeling a little down. But also had one of those weeks, where, on paper I appear to have been good, but have been picking and not counting everything. I have been rather active though. So who knows what will happen, by 10.30am tomorrow, I will know.
I think I am gonna go to bed now....am sooooooooooo tired

I'm a bit rubbish really aren't I?!
Well I have been tired. But, thankfully, Lilah's sleeping seems to be improving. Though every time I say that we go backwards, so maybe I should delete this sentance. Hmmmm.
I've had a good week this week. We got a gorgeous new rabbit from a rescue in Leicester, he's called Dougal. He's a bit nervous, and he bit me this afternoon :( But he has had a rotten awful life and was so poorly when he was rescued, the vet suggested he be put to sleep. But he is all fully recovered and gorgeous now, just needs lots of love. We are hoping to bond him with our female bunny, but she is waiting to be neutered so we will try that after, and when Dougal has settled in and got to know us.
On thursday, I went to Weight Watchers, and lost 2.5! I was sooooooooo pleased. I put a lb on the week before, and the week before that I stayed the same. So to see a loss was really motivating. I think I am in the swing of things now...
This weekend, DP has been working on the garden. Its been a huge mess since we moved in almost 3 years, but its now well on its way to being a haven of gardeny happiness, and I am SUPER excited. Its hard to explain the whole thing, but basically we are decking the bottom and levelling the top which has meant building walls and digging trenches! I'll take some pics tomorrow, makes its easier to explain/understand.
I'm not gonna waffle too much more now, AF has caught me and i am feeling a bit rotten...
Will return tomorrow with pics of my bunnies and garden :D

I finished everything on the list!!! Wooo hooo.
However, I didn't leave the laptop off all day, and I did pop on and off it, so it took me longer to get through everything. This in part was because Matt kept calling asking why I wasnt logged on!
The girls have also not been good today, Grace has had a temp (Which came down with calpol) and was clinging and moaning, and Lilah, well she was just being Lilah! And crying when I left the room etc! Fun. Hmmm.
In fact, Grace has just woken up screaming for me and Matt, despite being in out bed with Matt, I went up and she looks poorly and is RED hot, I have given her some calprofen, and I am ending this entry here to take Lilah up and cuddle my poorly Grace.

Well I decided last night whilst lying in bed rocking Lilah with one hand, that I spend WAY too much time on here in the day. So, today, I am turning the laptop off so I am not tempted to log on, browse the web, check my mails at every oppurtunity. Instead, I am going to become a domestic goddess (Sort of!) and fabulous mother. Today's plan is this:
Girls are all dressed, fed and ready etc, so I need to:
Get myself dressed and ready!Tidy up "The side" in the kitchen, which is full of junkSame goes for bottom of stairs, which used to have nice neat box of hats and scarves, which is now a huge mound of anything that anybody throws at it.Hoover whole of downstairsDo at LEAST 2 washes to get me back up to datePut mound of clean washing in dining room awayIron 2 shirts for Matt for next week (He is off for 2 days and its dress down on Fri! Yay!)
Then I want to make Dora The Explorer Cakes with my Gracie :D She loves baking.
So here we go, time to turn laptop off. Wish me luck!

Why I am still up at 23.03? I should be tucked up warm in bed, getting as much sleep as possible before my milk monster Lilah wakes me. She woke me alot last night, and not just for milk, that would have been too easy! She just sobbed and got upset, hmmmm. I'm tired. But oddly, when the girls are asleep, instead of sleeping too, I like to just sit here. Watch crap on the telly and use the internet, no interuptions, no one crying or tugging at my leg. Its all a bit toooo quiet actually!
I spose I should blog a bit about my diet, it seems to be something I spend an awful lot of time thinking about. I am following Weight Watchers. I'm sure most people reading this will have heard of it. I've followed it twice before, once when I was baby-less, and once after Grace. This is my 3rd time, hopefully the last.
I'm finding it hard this time, as a breastfeeding mummy I get extra "Points" to eat each day, but once baby starts solids and cuts down on their milk, the Mummy needs to cut down on points. This is where I am struggling, my appetite hasn't decreased yet, despite Lilah cutting her feeds quite a lot in the last week. Hopefully my body will catch up with my boobs soon!! lol.
I had a bad weekend food wise over Easter. I dont know why I do this to myself. I know I am going to feel shitty about it all afterwards, I know this as I say to the waiter "Yes I'll have the Enchiladas please and another glass of dry white" even though 10 mins before I was telling myself I was going to have a Tuna Jacket Potato and a Diet coke.
I have 19lb left to lose. I've lost 29 so far since I had Lilah. 19lb is not THAT much really is it? If I pulled my finger out and stopped being so greedy I could lose that in 10 weeks or so and be slim for the summer. Hmmmm, food for thought. Scuse the pun.
Right, off to iron Matt a shirt for work and make him some lunch.
