August 2009 Mommies

hi girls! i know that i am very quiet on this forum... but i am trying to be more involved...

i have 2 kids, 1 boy aged 9 called cameran and a baby girl ashley age 8 months (born 5th august last year).

i'm a medical rep that works the WC, EC and garden aswell as frequent trips to jhb and europe.

i've had such a SHOOT weekend. started friday with my dumb maid not pitching up - again on a friday because she doesn;t feel well. goodness, but its every second week. had big 'talking's to' few months back and she was fine for a while, now she's is sick all the time, and not her kids. so i ended up working at home again trying to watch babycakes and my son and his two mates... (try 3 9yr old boys at once when its raining outside...).

i interviewed another maid yesterday (saturday) for in case my Sarie decides to leave me altogether, and yip, i was right, she doesn;t want to work. i i spent yesterday afternoon, and the whole day today cleaning out the servants quarters for the new one to arrive today. i feel sick. i don;t know if i;ve made the right choice. cleaning a house is one thing, but someone to look after your baby is another. but i have no choice. i'm in PE on tuesday, Spier in stellenbosch for thursday day and evening for dinner with dr's; saturday whole day and night for congress and more dinners with professors from belgium; sleeping over saturday night to be in the congress on sunday. i'll be home sunday afternoon again.

my hubbie is a paramedic and is working the day shift fri-sun next weekend, so the kids are off to granny.

crap. crap. crap. crap. crap. crap. crap. crap. crap. crap. crap. crap. crap.

and then i wonder to myself why i want to NOT be a stay-at-home mom. not that i have a choice in the matter. we bought a house in december and the bond is through the roof. isn;t it always though????

i need to do a stress-management course. has anyone done one? tips are welcome here

anyway, to all you that read this... i'm just having a mood and feeling sorry for myself. have a wonderful monday (tomorrow) and we'll chat soon!!!

Welcome Lonie so happy to see another August mommy!! Was beginnning to think I was the only one that gave birth in August last year LOL

My LB also started crawling last week YAY!! Was so excited

I was on leave for a few days so got to spend some more time with him...was so nice..

However now both me and him are sick with colds so just came in to work to attend to anything urgent and then will head back home...

Hope you all have an awesome weekend!! Chat more next week

Congrats on the crawling!!!!

Hope that when the teeth do come they dont give you too much hassles and sleepless nights!

Hi there.. My LG was born on the 19th of August and started crawling properly yesterday.
No teeth in sight yet.

I enjoy being so safe Nadia, and walking around at 10 in the evenings and everything is open and clean. The parks for kids are beautifull, the malls great and generally the cost of living is extremely low! So Im enjoying it, just get home sick sometimes....

Thanks for the welcome Cinds...

Skitterling... I try and remind myself of that all the time. Are u enjoying Abu Dhabi?

Your guys pics are gorgeous...gonna try and update my profile with a picture a little later as well
