Ok. Since I last posted something on here I have had a lot going on. Our town had flooding the weekend after we moved. Our property was not really affected at all thankfully. It was very wet and muddy though which made for a difficult 2 weeks. Thankfully that has all settled down now, and we are only having one pair of dirty clothes each per day! We now have fences along the side and across the middle of the block to make an enclosed backyard. AND...wait for it...The contractors installing the power lines finished off today! Praise the Lord! That has only been at least 12 months in that making! I'm hoping that that means we will have power on soon, but I'm not holding my breath! Although 3 of the 5 houses being built in our street look as though they are all but finished, so hopefully it won't be too much longer. They have even installed street lights AND there are rumours about that they will be sealing the road and installing gutters! How exciting! This weekend we are hoping to get the holes drilled for the foundations for our verandah. It is all very exciting.
I'm also very excited to be onto our 3rd (or maybe 4th) dummy free night for Mr 2.5. I has happened surprisingly easily. We started off with no dummy during the day. Then he went to sleep without it one night because he was completely exhausted. The next night I lied to him that I would get it after he asked for it and never went back to him! (He happily fell asleep, no tears or anything). Last night and tonight I told him only babies have dummies and he happily accepted it and just drifted off. Too easy! I certainly hope it continues in this fashion!
Weight wise I'm doing the best I can. I'm watching what I eat as best I can when almost every night we are having some kind of pasta and sauce. Not the best option and I am really noticing the lack of vegetables. Hopefully the power will be on soon and we will have a fridge which I can load up with beautiful veggies. Oh yeah!
I have been walking almost every day to the park with the kids and to the shop to grab some bits and pieces for dinner. It's not really enough but it is something. I have found my runners and I'm planning to get running around in the backyard next week. I did a bit this week and had Mr 2.5 telling me to do it again mummy, do it again...haha my own personal trainer!!! I've weighed in at 104.5 for 3 days in a row that's a total of 5.5kgs down and 4.5 to go to my mini goal.
I don't have enough battery power left to add anything else, I need to type faster and with less mistakes!
Thanks for reading :)
