Hit the brakes!

I'm knackered. I can't get to sleep and then I wake up way too early and work's nonstop and boy's pushing his bedtimes ... I just want a day of nothingness. But I don't think I'll get that any time soon. It's girls day with my sisters and mum tomorrow, and Sunday it'll be me and boy. Monday too. And then it's back to work. And I'll probably not stop until that Sunday. And the weekend after, I'll be meeting up with the ex ... I hope he doesn't expect me to do loads, lol.

In one way, it's good. I'm hoping not stopping will give me a chance to lose some weight, without my gallbladder I'm gaining weight so easily (and working where I work, the atmosphere alone adds a couple of pounds). I need the excercise lol. Getting on my wii more too, doing Just Dance, wii Sports and this Cheerleader game I have (which I keep forgetting to swap hands on, so sit there for half a routine set going 'work Inverted T, work!')

I'm going to start introducing counts by the way. Count downs, count ups. Some will be related to events in life, and some are a more personal thing - how many days I walked from the nursery to work. Days I went without eating wheat (I'm wheat intolerant too). Days I avoided tescos (not including jacket potatoes on my break) ... that sort of thing. That way, I get to compete with myself and lose the weight. I want to fit into all my nice things for summer without having to buy loads of size 14 things.

Oh, and I have some news, which I can't announce on places like facebook. One of my sisters is pregnant! If you know enough of my family history (and I'm not delving in there atm) then you'll know which sister. I thought she was joking, because my mum said she had news and my brother said 'are you pregnant?' (which he's said like, a billion times before, but now he's taking credit for his insight. Umm ...) and she was like 'yep!' and showed us the scan photo's. They like the names Ruby and Oliver atm, but that could all change. It's weird, because I almost called my boy Oliver. It's an old family name. But I went with another family name (we've got about three, all for boys) for my boy's middle name instead. So yeah ... it's due late November. Can't wait! When I'm in Florida, half my money's going on OshKosh B'Gosh, Gymboree and Carters (they're kids stores, and so much better than anything in England for kids).

Days until the ex - 14
Days until Florida - 76
Days without wheat - 0 (stupid delicious tesco's cafe cakes)
Days without buying sweets - 3 (if we don't count any the boy has)
Days until I work again - 3
