Thursday 11th October   Well today werent too bad Dave took Josh for a bike ride and i got to wallow in bubbles which i love as it takes the pain out of my knees and back . Im still trying to stick to my diet plan last week i lost 2 lb but it was only the first week so will see what they say tomorrow . It is hrd to resist snacking on goodies but i havent bought any so i cant snack on them . Its been a bit of an odd day today i dont feel like i fit in anywhere and the kids seem to be just geting on and dont need mum hanging around i feel as if im not really wanted anywhere . Daniel only wants me when he wants something which is ok in one way as i miss him so much he comes round before school and at the weekend which is lovely but i hate to see him go . The girls do their thing arguing most of the time lol Joshua spends ages calling mum look at this mum i want to do that and then i come near and he says go away typical lol Anyway bored you enough going to sort out everyone before the evenings gone big hugs catch you later xxxx   ©Swanprincess-Created only for SSPSPG-Please do not remove

Friday 12th October   Well today wasnt too bad im trying to get psp time in but its been too chaotic with the girls fighting its finally quiet now . Dan has come over for the weekend so its nice and quiet and it will be a lovely surprise for joshua in the morning when he wakes everyone up lol . Nicole has been a bit difficult with school and hiding her homework because she simply dont understand it and didnt want to ask for help . Joshua had a lovely day at school with his friends and went straight to sleep at 7pm I had an ok day i guess went to see the nurse for my weight control clinic today and was told im eating good and doing the right things and the pain in my knees through arthritis and water build up on the knees should lessen with a bit of movement . I laughed at this because i can hardly move with them when they're bad and she wants me to move them more lol I now weigh 108 kilos which means ive lost 10 kilos in 2 weeks . woohooo !! she did say that some weeks may be harder so im just seeing how i do she said the most important thing is thinking and eating well not just snacking and eating sweet stuff . I dont know if it will work but i feel a bit better about it now Catch you all later big hugs xxxx     ©Swanprincess-Created only for SSPSPG-Please do not remove

Today will be a day of cleaning and sorting stuff for school tomorrow so hopefully it will go smoothly catch you all later big hugs xxx       ©Swanprincess-Created only for SSPSPG-Please do not remove

Tuesday 16th October   Well today has been a bit of a runaround what with one thing and another .I  am feeling a bi more positive about some things going on in my life which is a good start . The kids were  having a ratty day today and kept fighting til joshua went to bed . Nicole is getting bullied at school because she isnt into the same things as other girls her age are e.gmake up hairstyles shaving legs etc so i just said hold your head up and be proud of who you are seemed to work for now . 1 pet peeve though sammy has destroyed her school shoes and its half term next week why she couldnt do it for the end of the week i dont know lol     ©Swanprincess-

I've decided to stop by and see your journal hun and you have a beautiful family.Some days are worse then others it seems but I have to agree with you with your daughter.Life is hard enough with having kids bully them but having a mom like you makes it all worthwhile.Be proud of yourself hun.

Take care

Hugs Gina

I was asked if i wanted to be an adult helper eeek . It sounds like it could be fun though and Dan has asked if he could go back there an they said fine so hes happy. Right josh is chilling and all is quiet so im going to pack my stuff ready for the trip . See you all when i get back   Catch you later big hugs xxxx

Sunday 4th November Its been quiet today Sam and Dan went out so its just been us with Nicole and Joshua Its been ok had lots of washing to do again and im a bit fed up that its 4.30 in the afternoon and dark. Because of it being November 5th tomorroe the last week has been loads of people setting off firewirls and making Nicole nervous she dont like sudden noises so its not great and Joshua dont like noise when there is a lot of it . Im feeling a bit lost lately just dont know what to do with myself to cheer up guess its the season but it will be all christmas rush soon and that usually does the trick . Im off to watch star wars as its on tv and the kids dont know star wars yet lol   Catch you later big hugs xxxx

Today im taking Nicole to the library as shr eants to be like evryone else and do stuff and she hasnt got friends who would look after her if she got low . so after that we are going for some lunch  if all works out . So that will leave Dave and Joshua to have some quiet time and then with Dan and Sam going out with their friends it should be a fairly good day .
