Kids and days off

Miss T finished preschool yesterday so we had a day on our own together. I have to say it is much cheaper to put kids in preschool than to have them with you for a day.

She got, new leggings, pretty pink boots and a necklace. She also convinced me to stop for a milkshake and a cup cake, so I decided to join her and ordered a small hot chocolate and a caramel crunch. It is so long since I have had a caramel crunch and it looked yummy so I thought, why not?

Miss T licked the icing (pink I might add) off the top of the cupcake and had 1/4 of her milkshake and said she had a tummy ache. That is her speak for I have eaten too much food, or that food makes me feel sick. I was also feeling the same, I had one mouthful of slice and thought this is way too sweet, I had two more bites and decided that I just don't like this kind of food anymore.

My brain remembers that it used to taste delicious but now, I just don't like it.

I have this occasionally with coffee. I couldn't stand the taste of coffee when I was pregnant with my first child so it was easy to give it up. After I finished feeding, I tried it again. To this day I don't like it. However sometimes I crave the taste so I try some but it just doesn't taste like I remember.

The food ended in the rubbish, we didn't persevere with it.

The mind

I hadn't realised it was so long since I posted last.

Isn't it strange how your mind plays tricks on you (well mine does anyway).

Last week I was feeling trapped by my children and this week, despite being home on my own with them all week, I have not felt trapped once. In fact today, I dropped them of at their various schools/child care centres, went about my day, and so looked forward to being able to pick them up again.

I ventured into Target today, not because it was the first day of the sales but because I really did/still do need to buy a couple of presents.

I was not put off by the crowds, I'm a big girl now, I can hold my own. I got a trolley (obviously prepared to buy up big), and put a couple of things into it. I (finally) got to the check out, not brave enough yet to try the lay-by line, and must have looked a right tool, my mind was saying, you have the stuff, pay for it, then it said, Have you seen the line, no way, then it said, you're here now it won't take that long, and my mind said no way, during this time several people got very frustrated with me, you obviously are not allowed to stand still in Target for any length of time. I abandoned my trolley and left.

Ok so I am not yet ready for the Target sales, but I tried. I still need to buy some presents but I will do that another day. Don't really know when, it is another week before I have no children and by then it will be too late - deal with that later - I am just happy to say that the look on my face must have been enough for the security?? at the the shop front not to ask to look in my bag on my way out.

Flexions Personal Training

I am so excited, I have just been to register my business name. Next I need to find some clients and help turn that name into a business.

I am also in the process of trying to organise a domain name and website. This is all very new to me so lots more learning over the next few weeks I think. After that I can start to think about designing and printing business cards and fliers to promote my business.

The business name is Flexions Personal Training.

I had to take my two little girls with me to The Office of Fair Trading in Parramatta so of course we had to go shopping to Westfield. We only bought 2 pairs of shoes, a cool book on Anatomy (well I think it's cool) and 2 toys after a trip to ToysRus. Not too bad, but I don't think I will be allowed out again for a while. Not with the credit cards anyway!

Can you tell that my girls are proper girly girls?
