Lizel, geniet die girls night.

Nadia, I still wanted to BBM you good luck with L's first day at creche but I forgot! I am so sorry! Hope you coped ok? Seems like he is doing better today? From what time till when does he go to creche? Where did he stay before that?

Marilu, so bly dit gaan beter by jou. En wat is Scio sessions? Ek mis van die goed en dan het ek nie 'n clue waarvan julle praat nie.

Pat, our routine is like this (on a good, smooth night):
4:30 I leave work (this almost never happens, always a bit later)
Get home, Agnes leaves. I play with Nienke outside, we go swim at the neighbours house, we go play at a friend etc. If we went out, we get home at around 6pm, then I make food IF my hubby is coming home/is at home. If he is at home, we don't go visit anyone.
Then Nienke literally sits on my hip while I make food/I put a chair for her and she "cooks" with me. This creates a massive mess but anyway.
I try to plonk in front of the TV for 7de Laan at 6:30, with the sliding door open and Nienke playing outside/sitting my car/playing in water etc.
Then at 7pm, we go bath together. I normally feed her IN the bath, cause she refuses to eat otherwise. Get out of bath around 7:30, then brush teeth, get dressed, bottle and bed. I lie with her till she sleeps. Normally she sleeps at 8pm.
THEN I try and study/talk on the phone with a friend. I either sit with Nienke in bed and study (if we're alone) or at the desk inside.
If hubby's home, we will watch a DVD or just sit around chatting, me trying to study in between.

I go to bed at 10:pm. If I'm on a roll with studies, I'll stretch it a bit later. (This rarely happens).

Then I get up at 6:30/7am if we are alone. If hubby's home I sleep in till 7:30-8am. Start work at 9.

Cinds, Bloem is close to us! But then I'm in CT. Nienke almost weighs 12kg now and still insists on being carried.

Oh my word, Sumayad! That is so amazingly cute of Zia! Clever child that. Ha-ha-ha!

Hi Vision and Elrike and all the rest.
