Done, Dusted And Worn Out



Done and Dusted Part Two...

Back today. I love back. It’s my favourite day along with chest and bi’s I love it to bits. I always manage to get in there and surprise myself. It’s only recently that I have started suffering DOMS after training back and I am most thrilled about it.

Not much has happened since my last post. We have been focused on the fires, much like everyone else. Our small boys were in the path of the fire for awhile but luckily the wind changed in the nick of time and they were and still are safe and well. It was a huge relief for hubba hubba hubby and I.

I am getting back in the swing of things where school is concerned. I have had to reorganise my sleeping patterns so that I can get my butt out of bed in time to get my cardio done. Most mornings I start at 9.00am so it requires my dragging myself out of bed by 6.00am. Gives me plenty of time to do what I need to do around the house, get Montana off to school, feed Michael and myself and then run out the door. We are starting to get into the swing of things now and the homework is coming thick and fast and I am most excited about it. I know, I know, I must be insane. But I’m glad that I love it, all I need to do is get myself into a routine with the study and I will be set. It wasn’t as easy to schedule as I thought. Especially with kids, training, housework etc. I’ll preserve and get it organised before I know it. I wanted this for the longest time so there is no way I am going to stuff it up with something so simple.

Food has been good today. The cafeteria at school has lots of stuff, mostly fried and the smell of it wafts into the classroom and it doesn’t smell remotely tempting. If anything, the smell of the oil makes me feel sick. I’ve been taking along protein powder and having that or wandering down to the plaza and getting myself a healthy sandwich.

As I mentioned before we trained back today. Half an hour cardio this morning and this evening. Good eating. Lots of water.
So, like I said.

Done and dusted.

Done And Dusted..



I’m afraid tonight.

Everything around us is burning. We are surrounded by big ass bushfires that don’t seem to be getting any better. Even here in downtown suburbia, there is a street that went up in flames and five houses were burnt to the ground.

Even with the windows and doors closed, my house smells like smoke. And I am afraid. I know that my house isn’t in danger. It’s just frightening when all I have seen in the news all day and night is death and destruction.

This fire hit close to home for us. Our babies live in one of the areas that was affected and could have easily been trapped in the fire or lost their home. Thankfully the winds changed and they were out of danger but it is still a scary thought when it is so close to home.

Even sitting here in our bedroom, I can hear fire trucks roaring past , I can smell the smoke and I am worrying what will happen if the fire does get to us. I may have been a little out of control, but I have gathered all of our photos and Michael’s bodybuilding trophies and they are near the door in case of something happening. The worst thing that can happen is I will have to spend some time putting them back where they belong. But better to be safe rather than sorry. We don’t have too many memories together, but the one’s we have I am damn well going to save.

There isn’t too much else to say at the moment. It’s just a wait and see situation. All I know is I will be so very glad when 46 degree days are over and done with. I hate seeing the loss and the destruction that people have to go through. And when I see it, all I can think is I am glad it wasn’t us. Shallow, but honest. I don’t know what I would do if we lost everything. Thank god I haven’t yet had to find out. I keep looking around our bedroom and wondering if the time really did come just what I would collect first. The photos of our babies? Michael’s bodybuilding trophies? Clothes? Photo’s of my beautiful grandbaby? I just don’t know. And again, I pray that I will never have to find out.

The title of this post refers to the end of something. I know. And I am sure there are people out there wondering what it refers to. It's the end of a relationship. One that meant the world to me. Something I held dear to me and kept close to my heart. But today? It ended and I don't know how to move on from it.

I know the monster is still snooping here and I have become quite accustomed to it. I try not to mention it very often, but on days like this I feel I have to. I am sure the monster is reading this post and rubbing its hands together with glee. But I hate to upset it. It's not the end of the relationship that she was hoping for.

Tonight, we are having a memorial service for the death of my first pair of training gloves. Yes, that's right, they have died and gone to gym heaven.




Rest in peace my little friends, I shall never forget you.

On a different note.

Things have been frantic around here, hence my lack of attendance in the blog world and on the forum. I have missed you all terribly, but being thrown headfirst into the first week of University has sent me into a panic. I am now having to get home, feed the family, train at the gym, do my cardio, study, sleep and still be a wife and a mother. I am slowly getting there and since this is only the first week, then I am sure I will get it together. It is Saturday night and I am catching up on blog posts, emails, blog reading and me time, before I dive headfirst into a book that I need to have read by Monday morning. Nothing like a deadline to help you procrastinate some more. Right?

Anyway, I promise to update here more often. Ohh and here is the pic of my new Ed Hardy bag that Michael got me. It retails for about $700 so I am feeling awfully loved and spoilt right now. And it's green, one of my favourite colors.

Have a great weekend.

Ed Hardy Still Rocks





I would have to be the luckiest girl in the world you know. For the longest time I have wanted an Ed Hardy handbag. Actually to tell the truth I want anything Ed Hardy cos I just love it.

Anyway, my beautiful husband got me the bag pictured above. Why? For no reason other than he loves me and he wants to see me happy.

I think I am too scared to wander around with it because the damn thing is worth $700and it's in my favourite color. GREEN!

So, let me ask again. Who is the luckiest girl in the world?

Me me me me!

I have a proper post for here that I will finish tomorrow. Right now I am off to bed.

Proud Mummy



Here is our baby on her first day of high school.

I had a tear in my eye when I dropped her off.

I'm getting old.
