I am not very well today. I woke up with a sore throat and rotten cold. Actually, I thought I was coming down with something yesterday but woke up this morning feeling 10x worse. SO I am going to keep this simple.

1) I am grateful that I have a wonderful fella who is looking after me when i'm ill. He's doing all the cooking and washing. He is truly amazing.
2) This weekend, IF I am feeling better we're going to take the kids out, perhaps to feed the ducks or something like that. It's always nice to get out and do something... *anything* rather than be stuck inside.
3) My brother and his fiance and baby girl are coming here on Sunday for dinner. A lovely big Sunday roast. I am really looking forward to seeing them, especially my niece, she is only 16 months old, aww.

Also, I received the things I won in Mama Owls give away! I'm impressed. I've decided to keep it as a Christmas present though! I also got two arty books as well so I have something for each of the kids. That was a lovely surprise.

I am trying so hard to lose weight, I've started eating healthier (I miss crisps) and exercising  Does anyone have any weight looks tips they'd like to share with me? I only need to lose about a stone and a little bit and then tone up a little.

Well, my eldest boy is wanting me to help him with his homework. We're going to research Romans now on the internet. He has to do a project on The Romans. My youngest son has to do a project about Ancient Egypt. I love helping them with their projects, hehe.

I have had an ok week this week. Yesterday was a bit of a craptastic day but it did get better... Here are my reasons to be cheerful this week:
1) It is FINALLY October. I love October. The smells of Autumn, pumpkin carving really for Halloween, Halloween, my eldest sons 9th Birthday is in a couple of weeks (I can't believe he's going to be NINE. Times flies) and of course the month I should start my Christmas shopping (*should being the keyword). I also love the cooler weather, hehe.
2) I won a giveaway!! Yay!! Just waiting for an email now. Woohoo. I won Brainbox Games from Mama Owls giveaway. Now I don't often win anything. This reallllly brightened my week! Also comes in handy for a Christmas present for one of the kiddos. Christmas is SO expensive (especially with 3 kids) every little really DOES help :) Eee, I am SO excited, hehe. My first WIN on a giveaway!! Yay!!
3) I have almost finished buying the Birthday presents for my eldest sons birthday, his of what he wanted was rather long. I still have 3 or 4 more little things to buy him, though.

So there are my reasons to be cheerful this week. Also, tomorrow is Friday!! I love the weekends, haha. And I didn't wake up with a headache this morning, I hope I don't have a headache at all today, that'd be nice.

We've had a fair bit of rain the past few days, not as much as some places though.

ARGH! I don't know WHAT has gotten into my kids tonight! Actually, I do KNOW... lack of sleep. Up at 5:30am. They're all grumpy and whingey. Roll on bedtime lol.
My eldest has been playing out the front with his friends, just in the front garden playing football but he keeps in and out, every 2 seconds :/ KIDS!!!!
Anyhoo, things here have been pretty boring the same as always, nothing overly exciting going on. I am thinking about Christmas and really want to make start. The kids all want new bikes for Xmas so I have been pricing those up. I've also been busy doing the usual housework and laundry, nothing new or exciting lol.

My eldest boy has a school trip this Friday. He's so excited. I won't say where he's going just yet though, lol. Charlie is doing wonderfully at school although he needs a bit of extra help with his reading. Ellie is going great, too! Her first school photo next week!! YAY! I am going to have one of the kids all taken together.. We have to be at the school for 8am though. Hmm, that should be an adventure lol.

I've been having some really nasty headaches again and I know I need to see the neurologist, I will be speaking to my GP this week to see if he can hurry a neuro appointment along a bit faster than if I call. The weight time is around three months, I need an appt sooner than that but I understand there are people more priority to me. I have an eye consultant appointment at the end of the month, too. I guess the consultant will want to measure the pressure behind my eyes. We'll see. I am trying to stay positive about not needing another lumbar puncture. I have also been resting a lot while the kids have been at school, rest helps. It's nice to have some *me* time but gosh, I do really miss the kids when they are at school.

Yup, it's taken me two hours to get this far because I keep getting interrupted  I should really blog when the kids are at school or in bed, lol. The two little ones have just gone up to bed, they are exhausted. I think they'll be asleep within seconds. I think I may have a nice hot bubble bath and an early night *yawns* ahuh, early night sounds A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
