OT my recipe for rapid weight loss

Alright stop tempting me girlfriend! I have to admit that I only like a few colours.... black is my #1, white or pink sometimes (only if no black are left...) My killer sweets are licorice allsorts... I adore them... especially peeling them apart with my teeth layer by layer....

   

But here... these are for you, virtual jellybeans are calorie free!  

Thanks for you message.

Thank you for the beans. They were delicious. lol I love black ones too. I love black licorice as well. We had gourmet jelly beans (cheap version of jelly bellys)...temptation central cuz they are so yummy. You are very welcome for the message.

Aww Em, hope he hurries up and has it soon.  For the sake of both of you!  What's taking them so long?  I can just feel your frustration. 

Wishing a speedy recovery, and a hug to the mother. 

What is it about mothering? You drop everything for them.

Thanks for the hug, I needed it!

Wow - that is a horror story!  I had friends whose 12 yo son broke his leg - except that it was on a growth plate area.  Translation SIX MONTHS of traction. Traction.  6 months. 12 year old.  BOY.   That mom was about suicidal after about two weeks of that.  I tell ya. But ya know...they all lived, he is a strapping father now himself! All of this right before your ps, too????? Em, take it 20 minutes at a time here.  Slow as you go, my friend. Gosh I am sorry to hear this.

Thankk goodness no traction required, but it on the growth plate.  So far, the ortho thinks he should be OK though as he's 16 already.
6 Months.... I swear they would have had to book me a bed in the psych ward if I was that mum! Just the thought gives me a nervous twitch.

The funny bit is that now I am not scared of my surgery, I am just excited.

OMG Em... how are things today???? How's your son? How's the leg? How are YOU????  Thinking of you... hoping everything is going okay now!!!!

Thanks for checking in, my son is stuck at home, bored and feeling a bit flat.

Me... I just had 2 days at work doing back to back parent interviews from 8.30am- 5.30pm.  Wore out my frazzled brain some more. Today was "mummy to do list" day.  So I am knackered! My plan tonight is an early to bed SLEEP!

Can hardly believe that my own surgery is just 2 weeks away.

Em

Got my 'baby' home (he's 16!) and the op went perfectly- apparently the bones joined back very well.  The Harley Davidson motorbike club brought motorbikes through the ward for Easter and dropped off eggs for the kids and siblings.

He's a bit flat in mood, so I took him out to the shops in a wheelchair and bought him a hot chocolate and mud cake with lashings and cream.

The good bit is I have my appetite back and have stopped the rapid weight loss!

These things are sent to try us, and in just 2 weeks I go for my bodylift- so we'll have 2 invalids in our house for a while. 

Thanks for all the well wishes.
