 WISH/REALITY  Good Morning Lovely Ladies
Yes today is my usual Sunday, day of rest, ALL the rest.
Busy yesterday, managed most of what I set out to do. 1.5hrs on the Treadmill and 10mins on Ellliptical. Got DD16 everywhere she wanted to be, home in time to cook dinner, went to the jewelery party in arvo, it was nice costume jewelery but like all these things totally overpriced. I had hoped to find a small piece just to splurge a little, but they didn't have anything under about $40 and the thing I liked best was $120 and too similar to things I already had. Saved my money for another day.
So today I WILL vac the last 3 rooms of this house. It is clear but super windy today, so as my DMum would say, a great drying day, so I'll get several loads done. I need to duck to local IGA for some washing powder ASAP. I am aiming for 2hrs exercise today. I have my Gilmore Girls DVD's to keep me interested so going to give it ago, I felt good after my workout yesterday. I divided it into 3 sets yesterday, got a little housework and a little rest in between each 30+ minute Treadmill/Elliptical session. Was done by lunchtime and I started a bit late. Planning on an earlier start today. It is cold enough to want to walk a lot to warm up.
This arvo I am going to find a spot to lock myself away and READ THAT BOOK (or at least make a good start). There is still quite a bit on ingratitude floating around my house at the moment, and I am really over it. I am beyond the 'my feelings are hurt phase' and into the 'I'm p!$$*@ off stage', so not talking to the rest of them suits me fine. I could say something but what's the dam point, said it all before, nothing changes, dam spoiled children/adults.
Anyway, that's me for the day. Wishing you all a Super Sunday. I hope you find some time for yourself today. To Relax, Pamper yourself in some way. xoxo

Hi everyone,
Having a slow day today - much needed. I woke at 4am, worked for half an hour - enough to quell my anxiety, then went back to bed and slept until 745am. DH texted and asked if I wanted to go out for breakfast - he was at the dog park - so I walked the kids up and had a lovely breakfast at our local cafe. We did a quick grocery shop and am home again now.
I took DD and two of her friends to the movies last night so am taking DS8 today. He feels that sense of fairness deeply.
Before we go out, I want to:
- finish M. review 17 pages
- drag some notes from the paper
- list for the other job I'll tackle this afternoon
- make a good plan for the week including menu
- check movie times and where I can use the voucher DS won
- set up DH to put the roast on if we're not home
For a calm and happy week, I want to:
- exfoliate and moisturise
- trim nails
- tidy handbag
- tidy desk
- make lunches for Monday and Tuesday
- follow up childminding for tomorrow night
Wishing you all a super Sunday!

Just had that conversation this morning about what I can do with my lot. How do we teach the darlings gratitude when they basically want for nothing and feel it so deeply when things aren't quite to their liking!?! My ideas range from setting tighter limits (but they seem fake when I can afford that pencil they always wanted etc. etc. - although I do try to limit it to birthdays); setting up doing service for others; modelling thanks (although DH is not demonstrative on this). If you find any answers, please share.
Otherwise - enjoy your solitude and sending many hugs and thanks for all your support from me.

1st 2 times I thought well I'm not standing over the sink when he put the dish down and like a goldfish he had forgotten about it by the time he got to the next room, but last night he came in placed the dish at my elbow (I was prepping dinner) and kept on walking. After having especially prepared the mince dish Friday night (as well as a whole separate dinner) as I thought he would enjoy some nice warm mince on bread on a cold day at Golf, he said NOTHING. NOT HAPPY JAN
