For the last month, while we’ve been away I have been pretty easy on myself and have eaten whatever I wanted. How can you go to the land of meat pies and timtams and NOT have some. I was still fairly careful how I ate but I didn’t deny myself. Surprisingly I didn’t gain any weight but I could certainly …
The Way Through Jetlag
It was a particularly long trip to Oz this time. We left at 3pm on wednesday afternoon and finally arrived at our destination friday night after midnight. 20 hours flying time and 6 hours driving plus stopovers. By the time we arrived I was delirious from lack of sleep. I didn’t really sleep on the plane at all. We had …
We Had a Date
I ordered the kids a pizza and we headed out. The King took me on a date. First we took a subway to Columbus circle, The King made some cigar selections……………….
Week One Down on the No Booze Train
After a week of The King entertaining business guests and travelling to Montclair on the weekend where we usually get ON IT, I’ve done remarkably well not having a drink. I haven’t even missed it really. I certainly have slept better and had no tummy issues. I think The King is trying to make up for my lack of consumption. …
Glory Be to the King
We attended a party recently which had a dress code of summer chique, now I have things that work for that dress code but the King, not being a slave to fashion, did not. He was however determined to impress and went shopping on the friday before to procure said garments… This in itself is an anomaly….. he came home …
No Wonder I’m Nuts
Last night after a busy day for us but a stay inside work day for the King this is what transpired when a suggestion to go outside was made. Nobody was very enthusiastic. We lost ………………….. 🙂 King: Let’s go out for a hit of tennis after dinner kids kids both falling asleep in their dinner plates: nah bit tired …
Little Miss Gremlin’s Business Trip
Little Miss Gremlin has been feeling left out this week with her brother away. I thought she would revel in the alone time but she has been moody, teary and lethargic. She missed him way more than I ever thought she would. They get on very well and love each other but they also push each others buttons in a …
I Sent Him to the Vet, oh Yes I Did!
Just before Miss Gremlin was ready to arrive, we knew we were probably finished having children. We had a boy and a girl as well as the Princess and we were pretty happy with that. After Miss Gremlin was born we were totally convinced. She was huge, 10lbs born. My poor body said Ok seriously? You can’t possibly make me …
Never Say Never
The King spent many years convincing me that we were never going to get married or have children. He had been married before and after that ended, he felt that he’d done that and didn’t want to do it again. I resisted of course, wanting to have children, wanting to be married, arguing for my side, on many occasions until …
Stress, it’s a killer.
In today’s society we are over stressed. There never seems to be an off switch. Stress hormones are released from the adrenal glands for our bodies to cope, however they were designed for minimal use, to give you the fight or flight instinct. If there is imminent danger the body releases hormones so we can react. These days we are …
