[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 329105, member: 1991"] G'day everybody. Sharon/WO, I hope the weigh-in isn't too horrifying. The Wii Fit is fun, I'm sure you will love it. We've been playing with Wii Fit PLus - I highly recommend it also. Once you've got the balance board, you only need a fraction of the cost to get Wii Fit plus because you won't need to get another balance board with it. It's Boxing Day here - another public holiday. It harks back to when people would package up Christmas Day leftovers (into boxes, I presume) and take it to the poor and needy. easy child got a text message on her phone from her coursin. "In the interests of breaking with tradition, Happy Boxing Day, and I hope the Boxing Kangaroo was good to you." We've had a more relaxed day today, still mostly hanging around at mother in law's place. She thrives on young company, I think it helped her a lot. We had easy child 2/difficult child 2 & SIL2 stay overnight with us, otherwise the rest of the mob have stayed with mother in law. We've been mostly grazing on leftovers. I'm looking forward to eating at home and having a healthier diet. It's hard to syat healthy when surrounded by food which I haven't prepared myself, or food which is loaded with kilojoules. difficult child 3 was a bit better behaved today once the noise subsided (especially after SIL2 & easy child 2/difficult child 2 went home) although he was getting a bit tetchy with mother in law over dinner. She doesn't handle him well and when she's stressed (she's not well at the moment) she tends to fall back into old habits, which includes needling any kids around, especially the reactive ones. She's rally like a mischievous child sometimes. And tonight she was laughing at difficult child 3 and his fussiness over food. He was making a mess of using his cutlery to eat his dinner, but laughing at his awkwardness was not a good way to go. Fortunately we were able to deflect difficult child 3 before things got too ugly. Thankfully mother in law's deafness meant she didn't hear difficult child 3 suggest she wear a muzzle! Tomorrow we're taking mother in law shopping for a new armchair, one approved by easy child in her professional capacity. Fingers crossed that we can get on OK! mother in law has been unwell for a few days, we think we know what the problem is (her medication supply problems which has meant having to use a different form of her most vital medication) but due to Australia mostly shutting down between Christmas & New Year, I doubt I'll get much sense out of any health departments until after the new year. Our first working day won't be until Wednesday! I'm hoping to catch a couple of compounding pharmacies open tomorrow - fingers crossed! Enjoy your Boxing Day, everyone. Even if it isn't a tadition for you, it's a good tradition to consider. Anoter good way to celebrate it - pack up your leftovers, phone a friend or neighbour and get them to pack up their leftovers, then visit one another for a swap! Marg [/QUOTE]
