New years eve for us was spent at my youngest sister's house, the kids played for hours in the pool while us women folk sat around having a good ole chinwag and the boys congregated around the bbq with my step father being the know it all and bossing poor neil ( my sisters fiance) around and trying to take over HIS brand new bbq lol.. i really enjoyed yesterday afternoon, there was no stress the kids could run and have fun without the stress and worry that was experienced at my mums house on christmas day where the kids where being yelled at left right n center for touching this or that or well just being kids, i mentioned this fact to her yesterday and told her i wont be attending christmas anymore, its just too much and too hard with her in charge! So im thinking next year we will have christmas here and it will just be a casual bbq for who ever wants to come, i dont see the point in spending it with all the extended auntys and uncles, they are people i dont see all year and have no interest really in spending what is meant to be a special family day with them, its like having a table full of strangers at the table that u have to kiss and be nice too even though u cant stand them.. i know i know its one day rahdy rah rah but ugh no thanks!! wow went off the point of this blog there didnt i haha can ya tell i dont like christmas hence no christmas blog!
Melissa, Me, Caz & Mum ( 2 of my sisters)
After we took the kids home, I got them all settled into bed then I headed over to Loz's to see some of my bestest friends, I didnt stay long, I wanted to be home by midnight :) I got home at 11.30.. just in time for Logan to wake up and want a boob so it was well timed really lol
So what are my goals for this year..
- Loose the slab of flab i have hanging of the front of my tummy from having the kids, I will always have a little belly, im fine with that, never in my 27 years have i had a flat stomach and now with the ceaser scars and the hole pivot in my pubic line from the numerous surgerys it has made it impossible to even think i could one lol so its more a toning issue for me, I am 5'10 and weigh 73 kilos, i am within healthy weight range.. "Your BMI is 24 This is within the BMI range of 20 to 25 which experts generally consider to be healthy. " Sure I could probly loose another 5-10 kilos and that would be great, but as i said its more a toning issue for my tummy!
- Go on holiday's, We have not been on a holiday for years, The last time we and mike went on holiday was to QLD in 2005, we went for a week and we drove up there and stayed with his aunty. Obviously now that we have the 2 kids it will be a child friendly holiday so i will have to get planning and saving so it can be a nice one worth while going on, any ideas?
- Spend more time together going out as a family wether it be to the beach for a picnic or down the park for a play, everything in this house revolves around the computers & tv's and its shit, ive had enough there is more to life then this house... now to convince hubby of this!
- We have a very slack dinner ethic in this house, you know how most people sit at the table and eat a meal together.. well we dont, mike sits at his computer desk, i sit on the couch and Marlie sits in her highchair in front of the TV... talk about bad habits!! So i would like to break them and have us all at the table, no tv on.. no computers just us 4.
- Be a better wife, Mike works very hard to give us everything we want, sometimes i think i take that for granted a bit and I need to appreciate his efforts more..
i guess he makes it hard when he comes home and just wants to play games when ive had no one but children to talk to and i want some attention from him.. sigh - Be a better blogger!!
That is all i can think of for now... I'm sure I will see other peoples goals and think oh thats a good idea lol but for now they are my main ones :D soooo what are yours?
Marlie will turn omg 3 this year, she is already such the little grot lady and growing up so very fast, we are cutrrenty in the midst of toilet training, we have many naked days and she runs off and takes herself to the potty or big girls toilet when she feels the urge to go, we havent had a accident for 3 days now! Nappies still at night and when we leave the house, but naked or nickies when were home! So i think that is another goal to have her fully toilet trained this year.
Logan will turn 1, its gonna be a HUGE year for him with many milestones to reach and i cant wait for him to acheive each and every one of them, He's 16 weeks old now and not doing that much, but hes pretty awesome with a wiked cheeky grin that just melts your heart, we are giving him lots of floor time coz Marlie doesnt really go near him unless to give him a kiss and is very careful around him when she is near him, we are lucky we have 2 loungerooms and she tends to play in the one we arent in lol
I shall leave you with some piccies of the kids from yesterday!

the whole doing stuff as a family thing was one of our goals from last year. i was so sick of spending all weekend cleaning just for the kids to trash it again...
it doesn't happen every weekend, but it happens more and more...
thus why i would like us to try and get the hubbies together.. it would be nice to have other people with families to do stuff with...i know that just because we are friends it doesn't mean they have to be, but i still think its worth a try...
good luck reaching your goals...
