This will be my Birthday Cake in 09:

Food Porn of the day:

Unbelievably my food porn is working for me, I have been eating really well the last few weeks and although the scales are not moving fast in the downward direction, my skin looks healthy, I'm sleeping and having lovely dreams (like myself zipping about town in a purple suzuki swift ??) and I actually enjoy exercising again.

The weather has changed and spring looks to arrive early, so this has also motivated me to return into shape. All is good, still stressing about where I want my life to head as I can't be the SAHM forever!

Weight loss and sweets

Can I lose weight or even maintain and continue my passionate love for all things sweet?

Damn I wish you could, but sadly at this point in my life I'm just not in the mood to burn copious amounts of calories through exercise so that I can enjoy sweets. I would rather starve myself all day to save space for sweets, but that doesn't work either unless I like the headaches and torturous cramps in my stomach till feeding time.

So what to do? Enjoy food porn!

The Repressed Pastry Chef is a nice place to head for some quality food porn. And I also enjoy some savory food porn at Exclusively Food.

I must say I'm rather lucky as I also have a blog buddy who takes lovely Food Porn photo's: Jaybird

My life is in the doldrums at the moment, I think I'm on the edge of a mid-life crisis and food is my crutch.

Choco belle the Penguin

Where have I been? Other then consuming too much food and freezing, my boys have taken over both computers to socialize on Club Penguin:

It's rather cute and I was told to have my own penguin so that I could "sled ride" and "eat pizza" in the pizza shop with them... thus "Choco belle".

I'm not a real member, so I can not buy my penguin groovy outfits and join in on member functions, but it's cute and if there was a adult version, I think I would join. But sadly adult version are more like dating sites and so I think I'll just continue to giggle at my boys with their over dressed penguins and funny puffle pets.

Edit: Oh Oh I worked out what Club Penguin adult version reminds me of... The Sims Live, does that still exist?

Update on Big Little Man biting issue:

Well it took 2 weeks for the teacher to work out exactly what happened and it really was an accident. I felt awful when I found out as I never believed BLM and grounded him all that weekend, but it's all sorted now and I doubt he'll ever play that way again with his friends.

If Bublé can't help me

I'm depressed and not even Bublé can get me out of it, I'm heading for ice cream and red wine and hope it works!

Why? Big Little Man seems beyond my reach these days, twice this week I have had calls from the school to advise that he has been fighting or as they like to say "caused an unfortunate incident". They continue to advise that academically his a good student, excels even and no trouble in the class room, but put him on the playground and he turns all "Mr Hyde".

Today he bit the thumb of another child, when you ask him what happened it was all just an accident, but really how does someone's thumb get into another person's mouth by accident? Why did the other child let his thumb even get in my son's mouth? 

The Man thinks it's funny, before he headed off for work tonight he told me take care of Little Man and Hannibal - Not funny :(

ummm

I've been trying to get into blogger for the last 10 minutes and it kept bouncing me out, and now that I am finally on I can't recall what I was going to blog about.

I think it was to announce my pure happiness that the school holidays have ended and my son's have gone back to school.

Maybe it was to say that i have found some fitness motivation again and have been getting up at the crack of dawn to go for power walk with Deaf dog (the lack of brain function right now maybe a result of this mornings early rising and my need for breakfast).

I'm thinking also I may have logged on to tell you all I'm going to try to find another cache today.  Little Man and I did set out again on the holidays but I simply couldn't find the cache, it was getting late and as GZ (Ground Zero - caching lingo I can now use!) was in dense bush land and the light was fading quickly.  We will head out there again, but that is one he wasts to search for, so I'll wait for the weekend.

This cache is just a few minutes from the blood bank where I am also headed to today, so I'll see if I can do this one solo... wishing myself luck!

The Cache is discovered!

Whoo Hoo, we headed out again to look for Kayla's Cache dragging along my friend Fishlips and her son's and we found it!

My short 5'3 meant that Fishlips had to hoist Little Man onto her shoulders to retrieve the cache, I'm curious to know what I would have had to do if it was just I and the kids, some possible tree climbing?

With all the excitement, the boys took 3 things from the cache and I replaced them with 3 new items. I'm not sure if this is the norm and am still learning the correct etiquette of it all but we did CITO and logged.  It was great fun, the iphone was very accurate for this one but if we really get into it, The Man has promised to buy us a real handheld GPS.

YouTube funny

This guy has been around forever, but I saw this last night and it really made me laugh... and I was having one of those crap nights.
