Saturday 20th June

What a lazy lazy day I have had today, and it has been great!
Rhian has been a treasure today, and has been a big helper....
Actually, she is calling herself a "SuperHero" today, so all I have to do is ask her alter-ego to do something, and off she goes!!
Reason behind the SuperHero title is the fact that I bought her a cute pink woolen cape thing yesterday and she has only taken it off to sleep.
She seems to think that she is a SuperHero in it, and who am I to argue? lol
Especially since her special power seems to be "helping" me.
YAY!!

I am at home with three kids tonight.....
Jeremy is off at the Rugby with some of his customers, and since I was gonna be at home alone with Rhian, I decided two more wouldn't be a problem when I was asked to babysit!
The kids all get on well, so I don't forsee any dramas..... fingers crossed.

Spag Bol for dinner, and I even managed to eat some too....
I haven't been able to stomach pasta at all very well in the past, so I just had a little bit, and enjoyed every mouthful - YUM!!
Actually, talking about food.... I find that I go a couple of weeks barely eating anything, then a couple of weeks eating larger amounts of stuff.... it's weird.
My hunger has returned, I knew it was just a matter of time before I started to feel the hunger pangs from time to time, but I was still disappointed when I realised the other day that I was hungry in the morning....
Anyway, I have found a great way to stop the hunger pangs....... EAT!
I have started having a small serving of porridge at morning tea time, and that pretty much sees me through until dinner time, of course I try to have lunch as well, but sometimes I just can't stomach it...
Anyway, it's been nearly 5 months since my surgery and I am still learning what I can and can't eat, so it's all a big learning curve.
I still can't eat bread... I was really missing it for a while, so today, I made some beautiful pumpkin soup, and Rhian and Jeremy had some fresh white bread with theirs... I looked at it longingly, and then decided to have a bite.
OK............... two bites.
And within about 5 minutes, I felt ill.
So, I will continue to stay away from the bread......... maybe one day I will be able to eat some without wanting to vomit! hahahahaha.....

Righto - Ethan is asleep already (it's only 7.15pm) as he has had a really big day, and Rhian & Lizzie are watching a Barbie DVD in my room. They have the door shut and the light off so it is "like the movies"....
I give them half an hour before they will both be sound asleep....
Then it will be time for me to have a nice long relaxing bath without any interruptions!
Then.......... I have a couple of chick flicks out on DVD so I will be off to bed to enjoy watching them without the boy complaining about how bloody soppy they are, or about how predictable they are!
LOVE IT!!
I tell ya, I love that guy to bits, and I love having the kids here too, but when it is quiet, and I can do what I want and watch what I want........... It's BLISS!!!!!!
