A Fly Babe

Oh yes it has come around again so soon.  Or you could say it is here already. If you are anything like me, you haven't even started buying gifts.  There are only 38 days left so guess I need to get my head in the game. Apart from buying presents it is that time of year where i am on the hunt again for the Christmas Party Dress..  This is an event in itself, and this year I have 3 parties to grace with my presence.  well 4 really but i don't think a sexy little number will do for bowling. And so the dilemma unfolds 3 parties, does this mean i need 3 dresses?  I would like to say yes, but then I think of the presents I need to buy and, well, I guess maybe 2 will do ;-) I am looking forward to one of the parties more than the others.... no I wont say which one... it's my secret.. But lets not lose sight of the true celebration of Christmas shall we.  In this day and age we seem to get swept up in all the lights and temptations that the "Silly Season " h

Well this is it, Friday is here and the weekend is upon us..  I am now left wondering what I will be doing this weekend to pass the quiet time without Jarred and Tamzin to keep me busy.  No dancing to run to and from, no homework to contend with, no playing games in the garden.....  Although I miss my munchkins terribly the first week has flown by, and not having them to run around makes me realise so much more how being a mother really is a full time job, and also how much they complete me every day.... Ok no more soppyness  -  So what shall I do this weekend...... If the weather is nice I think I may relax in the sun for a little while and absorb the warm rays and maybe welcome a bit of colour to my cheeks.... Or I could just get on with reading book number 2 - that will certainly bring some colour to my cheeks ;-) What ever I decide to do I am sure I will make it more fun just by being in it..

Well last night I went to my first Zumba class.  It was intense, high energy, but so much fun..   It’s an exhilarating, effective, easy-to-follow, Latin-inspired, calorie-burning dance fitness-party...   Yes, Latin inspired which means lots of sexy hip gyrating movements.  As a newbie I didn't know what to expect - I am the type of person who falls off the step in an aerobic step class.  After the hour long session - which I managed to keep up with.  I wasn't surprised that the mirrors in the studio were completely steamed up.  You know you must have had a good workout when you leave the room drenched and your clothing is clinging to your body...  I worked my bottom off  "literally" and thanks to the energetic instructor - she had us all shouting / grunting and laughing our way through the session, it didn't feel like the workout it was, rather a dance party of sorts i guess you could say. So how do I feel this morning - well surprisingly not stiff

Well it is the second week of the summer school holidays now, and my two monkeys have gone off to spend 3 WEEKS!!! with Nana and Grandad..  Don't get me wrong I enjoy having a break and the ability to find my centre again, this is only the second day so far and I miss them already.. I need to find stuff to occupy my time with - Yes reading book 2 and 3 of 50 Shades of Grey will help to pass some of the time, and those of you who are reading or have read them will know that they are very hard to put down so i dont think i can stretch it out over the 3 weeks. So I think I will have to fit in a couple of movies, some Zumba classes and anything else that I can to pass the time...
