I saw a poster once that said "I'm too blessed to be stressed" and I would LOVE to claim thats how I live my life...I guess I can say what I like as I dont think anyone actually reads this but the truth would be much closer to "Stressed is just Desserts spelled backwards!" hense the need for a Weight Loss Wednesday post!! Mondays are my big chore day, a day of high hopes, of good intentions, sometimes the effort falls a little short. Today's going to be a tough one with a bad back so might just have to get the essentials done today and call it a successful day, we'll see.
Dan is also off to work the week in Wales (although if all goes well...please! he might be home as early as Wed) so I enter the dreaded zone of single mummydom. I hate these weeks, I really really do. I have no big or real reason, they dont even happen as often as they used to, but I really dred them. And so far today Jayden (Monday is the only day he doesn't spend any time at pre-school) has said "I'm hungry" 11 times. I kid you not! It's only 10:15.
And for the week ahead...
The weather
Today is COLD, you might not agree with me, but I really feel the cold. I dont mind it but I feel a bit ill equiped to deal with it this year, I think i need to stock up on some more layers. I'm starting to sorely miss having a good coat!

On my reading pile
Still trying to get though the new Patricia Cornwall novel, I'm wondering if it's because it's an actual paperback and i've been so used to reading on my kindle app on the Iphone... Next book for book club is Letter to my Daughter by Maya Angelou so REALLY looking forward to starting that.

On my TV
Have been watching both the US and UK version of Biggest Loser. Finding it hard watching at the moment with so much to loose myself (more on that on Wed if I'm feeling brave and honest).

On the menu for this week
Hate meal planning when Dan is working away! I've got an Orange Chicken in the freezer which I'll probably use up but I quite fancy jacket potatos one night and probably a throw together store cupboard pasta based dish as well.

On my to do list
Exciting one today, order an Organised Mum calendar, thier sale is on I love their products. I've had a life book, and the other calendar, but with us all starting to have seperate commitments I like that this one allows us to each have a column and make sure there are no conflicts!

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating
I've got the slippers on my hook at the moment but they're going slower than i'd hoped, working with dark wool is hard work on my eyes so i have to take more breaks.

From the camera
I've got nothing, really need to work on this area
Something fun to share
My confidence is at a bit of an all time low at the moment so wardrobe choices are all 'safe' ones...but I'm not usually one to go for the 'expected' or 'normal' selection.....I'm in the middle of both pictures....

On my prayer list
A family who I dont know, but are from my Mum's church. Just feel that they might need some blessings and a reminder of how much God knows and loves them.
