I'd like to say that this is what the beach looked like. It didn't.I'd like to say I had a great time. I didn't.
I'd like to say that my father and I got on really well. We didn't.
I'd like to say the place where we stayed was lovely. It wasn't.
I'd like to say it was nice to see my family. It definitely wasn't.
I'd like to say I didn't want to come home. But I did.
My father started on me as soon as I arrived, so then I drank too much and gave him what I figured he deserved, the serve from hell! That's the LAST time I ever do that. I should have known not to go on holidays with them. Yikes what was I thinking?????
The only good part was seeing my sister Kim (who I love dearly and don't get to see often) but there were overtones of stress everywhere and it made it uncomfortable for everyone.
I'm glad to be home, even though my DH (not darling husband today, the other option) went to the pub BOTH nights I was away until midnight and once again I came home to an absolute pig sty of a house. For goodness sake, the cereal bowl DS had the morning we left was still sitting on his high chair! Men ..... don't get me started.
I ate well while I was away, better than I would have if i'd been home. The bottle of champagne to myself probably didn't help my weight but I walked a lot and kept busy. I didn't feel able to hand over DS so I could get time to myself (snide remarks were made) so no, I didn't get to relax as I would have liked.
Back to work Monday and I don't even have my car back yet (hopefully Tuesday). The dinosaur loan car they gave me doesn't have air conditioning and it's been so hot i'm not going out in it. DH (did something good for once) got me a nice car from his work to take away so i've been driving in relative luxury for the last three days. Not anymore.
Sorry this is just a whingey post. Hopefully positive Bri will be back after I get on the scales tomorrow morning? Fingers crossed.....
Hope next week is better, i'm starting at my new office building on Monday (I think, I forgot to ring work to check - D'oh!!).
I'm off to catch up on your blogs now. Nighty night.

How dare they not be nice to you and not want to mind Lachie. Just don't understand them at all...Congratulations on eating well and walking and I will ignore the champagne. I am sure it was mainly bubbles and I know that is air with no calories right??
Bummer about your holiday and coming home to a mess - hope you didn't clean it up yourself.
No wonder you feel down babe, big {{{HUGS}}}. Gosh, this is how I felt after last weekend at my parents. Family can sure suck sometimes but good on you for doing your best in a stressful situation. Hopefully you'll have a real holiday once your home and work life are sorted. Moving both home and work, talk about upheaval! Don't let any of this make you give up on YOU.

LOL at Michelle's bubbly comment, I must remember that one!!!
Sorry to hear your holiday sucked the big arse, how naughty is your DH!! Hope you have a nice weekend.
Bummer about your holiday Bri...family can sometimes be worse than your enemies!
And your DH...OMG, that is so what mine would do...I'd have kicked his butt...LOL Was glad to read that you looked after yourself...hope your positiveness (is that a word?) is back!!

Sorry to hear you had a rough time on your holiday and didn't get to have some time for yourself. Some people are so selfish sometimes. It wouldn't have hurt them to look after your son for a few hours.
Congraulations on all your exercise and your eating. I'm sure the champers will not have made too much damage.
Good luck for your weigh in.
Bri, I must say I am a little hurt because I looked after Lachlan for a couple of hours when you went up to the shops, and mum took him into the water for you. Mum and dad also went down and looked after him while you had a shower.
Mum was also under the impression that you were going to leave him with us on Thursday so you could go home and pack but it didn't happen. The offers were there Sis.
Rick also looked after him when we went and got dinner which took us over an hour because we couldn't find anything (remember the custard tart LOL!!)
Love you
Kim
