Thursday 26th May

Today has been a very stressful day :o( At 7.30 this morning DS1 pushed DS2 and he tore his arm open on the newel post of the staircase. It was pure bedlam!!!!! DD screaming and crying, me trying to phone BB who had already left for work, blood everywhere (on my beige carpet down the stairs) DS2 going into shock....... I was pulling my hair out!!!!

I had planned to go out shopping with a friend, so i called to cancel that. BB got home and took DS2 straight up the hospital. He rang me about 1/2 hour later to say they had been told it would be a 3 hour wait! So i decided to call back my friend and go out as intended (well, come on, i needed a break and she had promised to buy me lunch as a birthday treat!). BB & DS2 ended up getting home about an hour later.... He'd had 4 stitches and 4 local anesthetics!!! DS2 just wanted to sit on the sofa feeling sorry for himself (he wasn't in any pain due to the locals) so i decided to go out to try and chill! LOL

Had a lovely lunch and look round Bluewater, although i didn't take any books to release...can you believe it!!!!!! All the stress and agro of the morning, i hadn't had chance to sort any out :o(

The diet went ok i spose LOL, 2 cups of tea, 2 cups of coffee (all with milk and 2 sugars), a ciabatta with bacon and cheese in for lunch, lots of water, 2 plums, a piece of shortbread with some nuts, and for dinner a prawn salad with avocado and brown bread.....

I went to DD's school open evening only to be told that there are no problems and that she's getting on well (i often wonder why i bother). Was suppose to go to a committee meeting for the charity im on the board of, but i was a bit concerned about leaving DS1 & DS2 alone together (after this morning) so i rang to say i probably wouldn't be able to make it. Popped out to the supermarket and when i got back the kids told me the chairman had phoned and that the meeting was cancelled, so im a bit confused about that..... will look into it later.......

Spent the evening on the net trying to find out about parking in Birmingham LOL, as I'm going to a Meet Up on Saturday and trying to catch up with all the BCUK mail I'd had throughout the day LOL

So how did i get on with my list??????

1 Start the diet Ok, so I've not been brilliant, i admit, but i have cut down and i have been trying LOL
2 Take care of my skin I have been doing this and getting into bed all sticky every night, much to BB's amusement
3 Start de-cluttering the house Well, i didn't really have a chance to do this :o( BB brought me home some boxes as i hoped that would help me get motivated, but it hasn't.
4 Start selling some stuff on eBay Didnt manage to get any stuff on eBay today, i will def put something on there tomorrow
5 Organise my wardrobe BB still hasn't got my summer clothes out of the loft :o( Cant really do any more until he does.
6 Walk regularly Well i did spend 2 hours walking round Bluewater, so in my book, that counts ;o)
7 Try out new recipes Nope, didn't do this today
8 Stop drinking coke I'm still coke free!!!!!!!
9 Floss every day Oh dear, i knew there was something i forgot LOL
10 Take vitamins daily Yep, i did do this..... I'm struggling remembering though LOL
11 Make to do lists every day I didn't do this tonight, but only because i couldn't think of anything i really needed to do LOL

I sat and watched the Big Brother Hype this evening.......oooooo.....cant wait for it to start! Was pleased to see that Brian won Best Big Brother House Mate (the public voted)....

I ended up falling into bed at about 1 after dosing DS2 up with pain killers lol
