Husband has been gone two weeks I think it however feels longer. Being four and half hours behind He is unable to call when the kids are at home or awake and so we have our ‘misses’ more frequently than ever. Again it’s not crying or whinging just B2 repeatedly telling me ‘I miss dad’ buts it’s more frequent than what I anticipated or like. So we have been creating more welcome distractions than ever before but daddy will be home in 10 days he will be here before we know it.
On a happier note the flu has gone, I have lost some ahem ‘weight’ and I’m even healthier than ever having given my whole diet an over haul trying to kick it’s the flu and its bacterial mates the kick. I got ‘drained’ and loved it. If you are unwell get drained…
So without getting all hippy on you here are the few things running through my head.
- The meal plan for the week is Monday Chicken Soup and Rice, Tuesday Spaghetti Bolognese, Wednesday Chicken Stir Fry, Thursday take away, Friday hot dogs, Saturday Freezer Meal, Sunday Roast Beef. What’s on your meal plan for this week?
- My neighbour has had his voice box removed because of cancer and it has amazed me that if your really listening to someone words are often the last thing you need.
- I was talking to a another FIFO friend on the weekend she was building a sandpit whilst her husband was at work but soon realised she need his muscle power but as determined as ever pushed on. It’s funny how independence and determination can often give you a warped sense of what you are able to achieve in terms of strength and know how. It’s like the beer goggle effect for us FIFO wives inevitably we always press on and get it done.
- Its mother’s day this weekend. Do you celebrate? Husband is at work Neh…I have already brought my mother’s day gift it’s a new frock…thank you boys and husband you chose beautifully.

- I have started back at the pool swimming. I swim in shorts and a rushie but the number of plus size ladies (I hate that word) that rock a full piece and a two piece leaves me jealous. Jealous. Have a look at Gabi. She has rocked the internet because as a plus size girl she wore a two piece.. OH the scandal not…come on really…who cares but Oh I want a piece of that confidence.
Do you celebrate mothers day? And whats the biggest project you started and couldn’t quiet finish? Have a great Day sweets.
