Day 55 - A Change of Plans

So yesterday I got up with good intentions. I was exhausted but I was gonna ignore all that. I had socializing to do dangnammit! I had a shower, washing my hair which hadn't been washed in days (ew gross) and shaving my legs which hadn't been shaved in days (too much information?). I raced over to my sister's to pick her up for a spot of baby Bunting shopping but when I got to her place she was a broken woman. The twins are so, so, so precious and so, so, so exhausting! And she was coming down with a cold. Luckily we had some relief carers on their way - my best mate and her husband. Once they arrived we left to hang with Mum...

I was meant to meet my lovely awesome foursome girlfriends (because there are four of us...I know I'm totally lame!) for one of their 30th birthdays. But I was just so exhausted. And Mum needed me. And my sister needed me. It's so weird at the moment. It's like the whole family (which includes my best mate, she is my family too) are running on empty. We all need help and we all help each other. Whoever is at the lowest point, waves a white flag and the troops march in. Although we are all being tested and we're tired and a little bit scared of the future, it's amazing to know that we have each other. We just wouldn't make it alone.

So at Mum's, my sister, brother and I all had a sleep. We were meant to be watching Mum and we all slept. Lucky there are lots of beds in the house. My sis got lots and lots of sleep which was awesome. I didn't wake till my sister-in-law(SIL) came to the front door with two of my nephews.

My sis and I were meant to go to a Xmas party in the evening with her girlfriends but we just couldn't make it. Two colds and two unsettled girls made it all too hard. It was a shame cos her friends were hanging out to meet the girls but que sera.

Non-diet:

Meal 1 - water
muesli with milk

Meal 2 - Pizza Hut(!) thin and crispy pizza with pepperoni
garlic bread
coke zero

Meal 3 - 2 coopers pale ale
crisps

Meal 4 - lamb ragu gnocchi with tomato and mushroom

I went home late from my sister's exhausted and ready for bed...
