A Happy New Year

Posted on

Hello and welcome 2008! Already day 3 of this new year and I am loving it. I have had a brilliant holiday season so far, the kids have been great and I love having Jus home. Our routine is one of walks, swims, eating lunch, more swims, a lie down, more swimming, dinner and bed. Perfect.

Christmas was great. Girls woke up at about 8.15am to discover Santa had been and it was full on from then. We had a terrific lunch at Matt and Penny’s, the kids got a lot of wonderful presents and on the whole were well behaved. The cousins all play very happily together so the day was stress free and really delightful.

I worked everyday bar Christmas and it was quiet and cheerful in the Maternity Ward. 5 babies born on Chrissy Day itself, so I had a lot of testing to be done on Boxing Day. Went to work yesterday, and no babies born at all so I went shopping! Found a great dress, reduced from $60 to $14, and brill pair of shoes that were also heavily discounted. I was very pleased!

We seem to have endless parties and visitors, but I am enjoying it all so much. Having Justin on hand to assist means everything is just that bit more pleasant as I’m not running after everyone myself. Holly’s 7th birthday is next week and she has some friends coming over on Saturday for a Pool Party. Then Jus goes back to work on Monday, so we’ll find ourselves in a new routine again.

I’m not making new year resolutions, but I have some goals that Id like to achieve this year. Mostly I want to run a 10km race or two, so that is high on my list. We desperately need new wardrobes in our room so that is high up there too. Other things include, seeing friends more, visiting family (maybe a trip to Perth at the end of the year if that works in with Adas and Lin) and finishing some scrapbooking albums.

We had a NYE party here, lots of people in the pool and much laughter and eating of chocolate. I want all the bad foods out of the house so that I don’t eat them or I’ll never make it to the start of that 10km run! I’m also on a mission to do some decluttering, use it or lose it is my motto. A big trip to the tip might be happening next week.

Ok that is about it for this update. The girls are waking up one by one from their siesta so time to get out for the afternoon.

Happy New Year xxxx
