Day 12 of 365 - I'm a Spoonie xx

I took this photo today but the story behind it was inspired by something I read on Monday

I suffer daily with unexplainable fatigue and pain

I am under the hospital and slowly we are getting answers

I find it so hard to explain my day to day life as people will say "You dont look sick"

This article was written by a Lupus sufferer, I havent got Lupus. But the analogy in this article can be used to explain life for many people suffering on a daily basis from a debilitating disease or illness

Please grab a coffee/tea/"add you beverage of choice here" 

and take some time out of your day to read .....

The Spoon Theory written by Christine Miserandino

The photo of the spoons will become clear and I wont look as mad as you may think I am LOL

Day 10 of 365 - Caught Ya !!

I had no idea what todays picture would be - Monday is a work day for me so my pictures will more than likely happen in the evening on both Mondays and Thursdays

Now ..... Ty is always being told not to stand too close to the TV as he will oftern stand right in front of it watching it or playing the Wii.

So when I came in from the kitchen earlier this photo oppotunity was too good to miss!!!

Here is where he was "Sitting" watching TV

Thats right he WAS doing as he was told and NOT "Standing too close"

Kids Eh !!

Day 5 of 365 - Time to get healthy

Todays's Picture - My Shopping list for tomorrow ...

I have started a shopping list for tomorrow (our weekly shop night) of things I want to buy to kick start my new healthy eating .... from Friday !! I've decided the worse day to start something like this is a Monday .... its so long till the weekend and you think - ooooo I'll be naughty then - I want to be good at weekends too so if I start on Friday I'm hoping it encorages me to keep it up through the weekend (as its nearer) - make sense ?? clear as mud ?? I thought so LOL - But hey it makes perfect sense to me and I think it will help me stick to my new goal of eating healthy and trying to shed some lbs !!!

On the list .....

Carrot Sticks - if I buy the carrots and have to peel and chop them myself - i wont bother so i'm cheating and buying them pre done LOL

Ryvita an Philidelphia - Crackers and soft cheese - great for lunch or an evening snack

Flavoured Mayo - I've seen lemon, garlic and roasted tomato flavors - great for dipping my carrot sticks in !!

Apples - Need to eat more fruit and apples is a good start right ?

Crabsticks and Rocket - Great for a little salad at lunchtime or in a sandwich

Brown Bread - to make the afore mentioned sandwich

Water - To put in my water cooler in the fridge door - no more Coke or ribena for me !!

Flavoured teas - Need to cut down on the coffee and more importantly the amount of full fat milk or creamer that i use to make it yummy LOL

Phew ........ Thats it for now - baby steps right ??

I will buy veggies to go with dinners too and low fat dinners rather than naughty ones but thats another post for another day !!



Dummy Fairy visits our road !!!

I just had to share this ..... The Dummy Fairy was due to visit our road on Saturday night so Ty left his Dummy out on the doorstep for her to collect. The next morning there was a knock at the door and there on the doorstep was a "heatblast" figure (from the kids programme Ben10) that converts into a torch !!! No Dummy !!! just the figure, so we are guessing the Dummy Fairy left it as a thank you?? Ty was over the moon with the gift the Dummy Fairy left him for giving up his Dummy - Mummy and Daddy are very proud of our BIG BOY !!!!

I know my P365 has not officially started but its moments like this that I dont want to forget !!!

Are you doing a P365 this year ?? Link me up to your blog in the comments section of one of my posts so I can add you to my list of Three Six Fivers on my side bar xx

We can keep all keep each other motivated !!!

What Is Project 365 ??

In basic terms Project 365 is where you share a photo every day for a year.

A visual diary to chronicle your year.

What is Project 365 to me .......

Its easy to remember the big things - A Party, A Summer Holiday, A Special Birthday, and Christmas for example. I want to also remember the small day to day events that can easily be forgotten about - not just images but things people may say or things they may do that cannot be captured on film.

I plan on taking the photo a day everday for a year but also want to update this blog with my personal rambles and even a quote from time to time that inspires me - be it a profound word or two or something funny and quirky.

My Project 365 will share not just photos of my Son, Husband, Mum, Dad, maybe sometimes even me!!! But also things I may stumble on that I'd like to capture, maybe what we have for dinner, a shopping trip .... who knows what the lens will find !! Also I'll write about things Ty may say or do that I dont want to forget. I think I will learn alot about myself and share alot with any readers/followers I have too !!

I'm looking forward to January 1st 2011 and the rest of that coming year xx

I may post again before my "Official Start Day" so I can get used to doing this daily !!

Wish me luck and I hope you stop by from time to time xx
