My parents are staying with us for the weekend. They live 4 hours drive away. It has been difficult to get a moment to post anything, & I am actually doing this on my iPhone. Last night was a HUGE test for my resolve. I love to have a few wines with my parents, & they showed up with the obligatory bottles of red & white. Sigh. But no I did not partake. I made myself a big pot of lemongrass and ginger tea & while the others sipped on their delicious merlot I drank my tea. Which was surprisingly good (it was T2 so of course it was fabulous) & I didn't feel like I was missing out. Not only that but my Mr Two is sick at the moment so it was nice to wake up this morning after a number of disturbances during the night (he has revered to breastfeeding with the frequency of a newborn) & not feel like I'd been run over by a tractor.
In fact I practically leapt out of bed at 6:30am when I caught my boys on an expedition down stairs to wake up Grandma & Grandpa & made a round of hot chocolates (& tea for me), telling them they could go down stairs when "the big hand reaches the 12." Now I have gluten free breadrolls rising as we are going to the wildlife park today to see the kangaroos and crocodiles. Should be fun. And I am doing it without a hangover.
Regarding my sugar detox... Well... There is no nice way to say it, my body is - ahem - "cleaning out". I'll leave it at that, I'm sure you get the picture!!
