July 2009 Moms

Binks, if he has to go and he feels that way and i was in your situation I'd lie. Its so hard to cope alone. Goodluck!

hello everyone,

I always reply in english so everyone can follow so sorry for the afrikaans people when I reply to you in english!

I read the posts as they come through on email so I only remember a few things here and there.

Elrike, glad that you are feeling a bit better, and those treats sound so nice.

Pat, I also want to go to the plaas

Aww Binks, she is so grown up, its amazing.

Sumaya, glad your dad and Zia got along so well, I would also be worried if my dad were to look after B on his own!

Monique don't work too much!

Lonie my exams begins I think 12 may, then one each monday with another 2 thrown in somewhere.

Marilu, hope you find an answer to migs biting habit soon! I have no advice so not even going to try.

There my mind went blank, sorry if I left anyone out who might have asked a question! B isnt sick so that a relief but she talks way too much. Made a spreadsheet at 15 months and she was well over 50 words and has clearly doubled or trippled that now. She also like Arwen washes herself (or tries) and dries herself (tries) last night she was so intensely busy trying her feet that she fell over and hit her head on the tiles.

We had a standoff the other day because she threw something out of the hamper and I waited till she picked it up and now she's a domestic goddess. She askes for the 'lappie' and wipes up spills and takes everything worth throwing away to the dustbin and puts everything away (even if you were still using it)

And to Jana, I worked it out a few weeks back. I have 91 days till exams (that's like 2 weeks back) and worked out that I have 65 or something study units (all 6 subject together, one subject I counted the study units twice because they are very long) so it worked out to minimum of 5 study units per week, which is do able and if I fall behind I have 2 days over the weekend to catch up. So I'm trying to do 6 to 7 study units per week. Like last night I did two so only have 3 more for my goal this week which isn't too bad (had a lazy monday and tuesday) Also done with 3 almost 4 of my 6 assignments due in March.

Takes a lot of time, but no tv really helps to get things done. Don't know where I read it once but the person said if you have time to play on the internet and spend hours watching tv then you have time to start a hobby or study to learn a new skill and for me that is very true. We have always gone to bed close to 12 so that isn't too much of struggle

Marilu that sounds really awesome lets hope it lasts longer and you can catch up on some much missed sleep.

Ladies my hubby wants to leave me!!!!
But it only 6 weeks. I hardly made it when he was in hospital and i could visit him everyday, now he wants to leave SA, and this time i have 2 little ones, then i can stay in jhb with my mom coz im on leave and he says he doesnt want his kids there more than a week. What do i do? listen to him or lie and say i came home?

Lonie ek's seker die bitter goed sal werk maar die arme kinders..as hul hulself lek dan gaan dit ook bitter wees
Amber aard na jou met die soet tand!! Migs sal veel eerder sout goed eet..haar pa se kind

Aah Binks, Arwen is such a pretty girl and so grown up!

Lonie Migs het laas net vir Bardon rondgejaag omdat hy haar dummy gesteel het, hierdie keer het sy hom gebyt. Charlene se dit was blou maar vanoggend is dit darem weg. Ek voel HORRIBLE daaroor. Die juffrou hanteer nie die situasie reg nie, ek sal haar maar moet bel en praat.
Hoop Amber slaap vannag beter!! Miskien het die flora gehelp om die winderigheid minder te maak die dat sy so baie gefart het?

Vision I was actually hoping that B would bite her back to teach her a lesson That sounds cruel..she has been bitten but still she does it!

We miss you Cinds!!

Binks it's weird how you took so long to conceive Arwen but it went so quick the 2nd time round? I think it depends alot on the hormones. (that's just my theory)
We've actually had TWO good nights in a row, can you believe it??

Elrike, bly om te hoor jy klink beter vandag!! Daai rice krispy koekies klink YUM!
Ek's bly om te hoor dis nie net my kind wat byt nie haha.
Dis waar wat jy se, mens is so ondankbaar oor als in mens se lewe, totdat jy hoor van iets slegs wat met ander mense gebeur het en dan besef jy eers hoe dankbaar jy EINTLIK moet wees!!! Ek dink baie daaraan dat ek so baie moan maar eintlik is ek so bevoorregd!

Oh my word Binks.. She is so grown up, looks about 2 and a bit already..

And I will try get Ands to join us as well as Claire..
