So once again life is flying by.

Diabetes is under control Yay! Weight is no so great Boo :(

I have been seeing the naturopath again and she has helped immensely. I am feeling great.

Work ...hmmm, some people just don't like me and I am learning to say that is ok. Her/ their problem. It only makes it worse that I am 2IC though and anything I say and do is wrong (apparently) But my manager keeps telling me she believes in me and I was put in this role for a reason.

I am trying hard to keep my spirits up and keep on top of the housework as much as a full time working mother can.

Brad starts high school in 6 months eeek. A little overwhelming for me but we will manage. He is getting independent and I am very proud of how he is maturing into a reliable young man (most of the time)

Feburary already

They keep going quicker.
January was pretty uneventful. This month is ramping up with sport and dance again and of course school going back. I am back to 5 full days a week. I need to win the lottery so I can go part time :)

I have been reading like a mad woman and really enjoying it. I lost touch with alot of my favourite things last year and I think it's time I got back to it.

The heat this summer took awhile to get hear but has hit with a vengeance with a week here and there of 40+ degrees.

We took a walk through Sherbrook forest which was fantastic and I plan on doing it again with the kids.

2014

wow, where did that year go.

2013 - I am glad to see the back of it .... year of the snake, I think this was appropriate in many ways. I think the majority of people I speak to are very glad it's over. We have all seem to have suffered from one or more of the following Health issues, the loss of family or friends, the breakdown of relationships & work issues to name a few. In a lot of ways the negativity overtakes the positives that come from the year that was. Personally ...

1. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, the doctor is very happy with the way that I am managing this and I am still on diet controlled solution rather than insulin. It has however started attacking my kidneys, so I have been put on another medication to try and help counteract this deterioration.

2. My weight has continued to climb as I struggle with the work/life/ exercise balance and tend to be really good during the day and then snack on bad stuff at night. Something for me to work on again this year, I need the will power to stick with it.

3. I was officially made 2IC at work and received a pay rise that goes with it :) It is a lot more responsibility and pressure though. I need to work on leaving work at work this year.

4. My family are happy and healthy. Doing well in their work and school lives. My aim this year is to do more on weekends with them rather than being stuck at home on technology so much.

My wish for 2014 is for myself and all my family and friends to happy and healthy.
