I'm talking about torturing my body that is!  I got two 3D sphere puzzles for Mother's Day (and some other goodies) and the other night decided I would have a go at one of them. 

Ok, now I'm the kind of person who will keep at a puzzle until I fall asleep on top of it or it is finished.  This time, I told myself I had to be in bed before 2am.  yeah, right, I sat on the floor, stretching out when I needed to, and plodded my way through the 540 pieces in front of me.

Well, the puzzle is done, was finished by 6am! lol.  I went and had a shower and crawled into bed just as Les was getting up!  When I crawled out of bed several hours later, I noticed I had sore spots all over me.

One thigh feels as though I have been kicked by a horse.  The same side of ribs feels as though I went 10 rounds with Mike Tyson.  I have a bruise on my knee from resting my elbow there which means my elbow also has a bruise on it.

I swear, 9 1/2 hours of sitting on the floor turned me into a used punching bag! lol.  I could barely walk, and this was on top of still recovering from my trip to Brissy and the day of washing I did on Sunday (Mother's Day treat, oh yeah, me under the house all on my own leaving Les with cranky kids! lol).

Now, i have one more puzzle to do, but I am just not game to open it for fear of another 9 1/2 hours on the floor and the lack of being able to walk or move for the next week!

Even sitting here typing hurts in my ribs, and sleep is damned near impossible, due to the bruises all being on the side I prefer to sleep on.  Oh, and having the flu back means when I cough my lungs and ribs feel like they are going to burst out of my body! lol.

Can I say sucker for punishment?

For future reference:  No more puzzles on the floor!

I'm not going to.  I know you have all been patient and let me have last night to recover.

Firstly, I want to say a big thank you to Julie (DomesticWarrior).  It was a pleasure to meet you and little Kaelen and I really appreciated not having to spend hours walking the CBD of Brisbane getting lost all the time.   You really made my day and were so sweet to give up your time for me.

Ok, here we go......

Let me warm my fingers up......

Stretch......

PUGGLE IS FINE!.  There was no reason for me to have been referred to Brisbane in the first place.  The concern was the chest cavity and the fact they couldn't see the whole thing on the first scan.  My doc could have said that instead of saying my baby's lungs were the problem!

Basically, Puggle is smaller length wise for dates, but already ways about 2pounds 6ounces, so is quite chubby!  My size is fine, I don't seem to have expanded much over the last 2 weeks that I can tell so should match up now.

Our due date is still going to be 13-8-08, so no change there.  Yay!  Don't have to redo my ticker again!

Oh, and we are having................

Another little girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Poor Les!!!!!!!!

After yesterday, I am still trying to recover.  Was a very long day, I got sunburnt through my shirt! and ended up with very sore feet.  Actually, almost self amputated them due to the elastic on the top!  Going back to normal now though!  I'm also trying to get rid of the feeling I've been riding a horse non stop for the last month!

Thank you to everyone for their support and to those having a tough time, I'm really sorry that you are going through these things and I am here if you need me, more so now my immediate stress is past.

So, there you have it, medical incompetence sent me to Brissy, when they only needed to have me laying on my side to do the scan!!!

Right, now you are updated, I'm off to look around some more and then back to the washing!

Have a great day on Sunday Aussie mums, oh, might as well say have a great Sunday to all mums from around the world, every day is Mother's Day in my eyes!

And due to my busy and looooong day tomorrow, I might not be back until Friday, but will do my best to stay awake long enough to spill my news.

My day is going to start at 5am, leave the house at 6:15am and catch train at 7am!  Hit Brissy at 10amish, spend the next little while raiding Spotlight! lol.  Yep, I'm going to have company, and no it is not my mum.  Ok, it's a minti mum, but I've not wanted to say anything unless she puts her hand up and confesses she is kidnapping me for the morning.

Ultrasound is at 2:30pm and I have a feeling will also see the ob as the same time.  Train home leaves at 5pm and I get back into Gympie at 7:45pm and hopefully home by 8pm, taxi's willing!

Yeah, a looooong day.  My feet are going to be sooo sore!

At least the tilt train will allow me a comfortable sleep in! lol.  and home again.

Well, time to think about a shower and crawling into bed.  night all and have a great day tomorrow.

Coca Cola vs Pepsi Cola

Which major cola drink manufacturer hits the nail on the head?  Coca Cola who have classic red label or Pepsi with their blue label?  both have been around since the late 1800's, but which one has the better taste and products that meet your needs?

Rules

1. This is persuasive writing, where you have to convince me which is the better Cola company, so please argue one side.  If you want to argue both sides, use 2 responses.
2. You need to describe what you like about your chosen company
3. No one is right or wrong in their opinions
4. If you are not a cola drinker, then you can still respond stating why you stay away from the stuff.  Your opinions are just as valid.
5. THIS IS JUST A LITTLE BIT OF FUN!

My Response:

By far for me, Coca Cola has been the better of the major cola companies.  The taste and bubble ratio is unbeatable.  It is also the one that I knew of first, so probably was biased from a young age.

Pepsi just seems to miss the satisfaction spot, and I even worked for KFC for a while where the only drink provided to us was Pepsi.  Needless to say, I brought my own water bottle to work everyday.

Coca Cola is much smoother and richer in taste.  There is no harsh pepperyness to it and it is not overly sweet.  I prefer it because it is more readily available, works with health organisations to improve on their products and is just so fine to drink.

While both companies are highly commercialised, I've yet to be offended by a Coca Cola advertisement, where as Pepsi has often, in my opinion, gone a little bit too far with their ads.  CC also supports other companies that support charities.  Here in Australia, McDonalds has a stake in Coca Cola, and they have the Ronald McDonald House Charities that help and support children and their families in their greatest time of need.  Not heard of Pepsi doing anything like this.

Well, I'm not really making sense tonight.  This debate response has been much harder to write, so I will leave it there and say 'Pass the Coca Cola please!'

Right, now it is your turn.  Enlighten me with your thoughts.
