the last 24 hours

I am, like everyone else, getting slack at keeping up my blog.... sigh

so, here is my last 24 hours, as much as i can remember....

woke at 7:30, logged on had a sticky, went and tried to get ready for day..... shower dressed etc.

got girls up and dressed and off to school.  my darling husband rang and needed me to pick up his scans for him, from Blacktown and get them to Heritage as soon as possible.  got to Blacktown no parking so stopped in pick up drop off point... think a council worker took my picture so could be expensive.

I then went to  office works, wandered around for a while  and then found a printer and ink for less than i thought i would have to pay..... so i got this one. and i bought 2 colour inks and 2 black and white inks to go with it.

also bought 3 purple folders and 3 blue.   went home and sorted out old notes and the folders in the hall cupboard... read threw out heaps of folders and old stuff.  now have all old notes in hall and the lounge only has current stuff. still looking for narrow tall bookcase for the bedroom to hold all the notes and stuff...

rushed off to heritage and then to the dentist. had a filling or 2, then off to castle hill.

after spending most of Wednesday trying to get the girls sneakers, i found Garry and Sarah a pair each, and they were only $24.90 for both pairs.  happy dance!!!!!

on way home i went back to Heritage to see Carlos about rego, drove to the servo, and heard a clunk.... didn't think much of it, it turned out to be the right steering rack mount....  can't get after market, so, $300 for genuine.... twice as much as a targo.... being done Friday 10.30 am.

went home, cleaned up a little, had some rocket and a tea, then went to pick up the girls. home. big big big clean up, and vacuum, then fed girls. Britney and Krystal came over, and then Anastasia.... full house lots of giggling girls and LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Garry came home and took them all to GFS, quiet!!

finally time to set up printer... and it works whooooooo!!!!!

cooked dinner for all, made Garry wraps and the girls a kind of Mexican pizza thing.... looked yum!!!

and bed.... watched master chef and big bang theory.

woke and took meds,  washed dishes and cleaned the kitchen. then back to sleep... up at 3 am, Garry coming home from fixing trailer and getting car ready to go to Melbourne.  cuddle and chat, then read for a while before coming on line....

it's morning, time to get up and get going again. we mum's fit a lot into one day!!!

Tuesday. did some house hold stuff, made a stack of appointments i have been avoiding... dentist, scans, and house hold family stuff.


went to Dr to get another letter to apra. got my hair cut off!!! i love it, and want to keep it that way. i only did it because so much is falling out, never would have thought i would ever cut my hair!!


in the evening, miss 11 was being silly and kicked her toe.... she has only just gotten out of plaster from 2 broken toes and her 5th metacarpal (???spelling) so took her to children's hospital..... combination of cold and other's smoke (don't get me started on smoking) had an asthma attack , the children's hospital called an ambo, and i went into respiratory failure.... was in resus for the night, and signed self out in the morning........ no sleep full of steroids and other crap.

sunday night in westren sydney

1 girl in bed, 1 watching tv in lounge room.
husband and i in bed watching forgeting sarah marshall.

it's cold.

have not had enough food or drinks today, need to have more tomorrow. sigh.
never thought i would say that.
made these opti biscuits, and did not like them at all.
3 egg whites
1/2 t cream of tartar
1/4 c equal
2 opti sachets

beat 2 whites till soft peak then add equal and tartar. beat till thick.
add opti.

put in another bowl, beat the last egg white till stiff and fold through the rest.
put in small spoon fulls on the baking tray, and bake 13-15 Min's.
i hated them, think if you add enother 1/2 c equal to the second lot of egg whites might be a little better.

not much else to say.

What is gastric sleeve surgery? pic's so yuck!

Thought I would educate those of you who are not quite sure on what I am having done. The technical name is Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. The surgery is a restrictive type of weight loss surgery that permanently reduces the size of the stomach. It promotes weight loss by limiting food intake and lessening the sensation of hunger; it does not involve intestinal rerouting or food mal-absorption. Above is a picture of what my new stomach will look like. During gastric sleeve surgery, the surgeon removes approximately 60 to 80% of the stomach along the greater curvature, leaving only a small tube, or “sleeve” for the new stomach pouch that extends from the natural stomach opening to the natural stomach outlet. Results show that gastric sleeve patients who have had the procedure can expect to achieve a 60 to 70% excess weight loss at 2 years. you can lose a lot more if you exercise and work at it, eating right and regular. it is also possible to lose too much weight, and have to eat to keep it together...
