Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Hi guys

Hope you and the LO’s are all doing well …
Not much news on this side, looking forward to the weekend, although I have to do an Unisa assignment … Tomorrow morning is Kindermusik and then Z is sleeping over at my MIL’s. She is taking her two grand daughters to a play park or something. On Sunday it is church and then the Mother’s day brunch. And I have to go grocery shopping after work

Carika, sincerely hope your financial situation improves, it is so stressful to worry about work security … Really bad about your DH’s ex, how can a mother not want to have her kids with her on such a day? So sad.

Vix, LOL at C and the psss … These kids make me laugh so much, so cute at this age. I remember how he yelled at the kids, dead cute!

Simone, hope you enjoyed your Teletubbies episode yesterday and your outfit sounds nice. I love the new short sleeved jerseys.

Ziani says a few words now but she’s got her favourites: toe, weg, klaar, blief (for please), kat, and even her niece’s name: Jordan is orda or something like that! And when Ziani hits someone or me, I’ll say: Sê jammer and she rubs my leg …

I agree, all kids are not the same and they do better in certain areas.

Ally, congrats on the blog’s success … The chili sounds amazing …

About the in laws, ja, I’m very fortunate to have mine who is such a good person. My MIL never interferes and she always just want to help us.

Ange, someone should warn your hubby about the rice!! Oh and I won’t mind a visit to Mitchells plain at all, I grew up in Cpt and it was most certainly not in the affluent suburbs!

Christi, I hate hate hate expo’s or shows or anything like that, I hardly ever go (not even when I get free tickets!)

Oh ja, DH asked me if I’m on drugs since I’m suddenly so calm and collected at home and not the wicked witch of the West Rand anymore, I think it must be the thyroid meds! I’m amazed at how many ‘symptoms’ I saw as normal was actually due to the overactive thyroid!

Carika- that is so sad! I think though that in joint custody the parent that doesn't have main custody gets used to having a social life and not needing babysitters so something just comes up and it's easier to cancel their visit. My dad was just like that, they don't think how much these kids look forward to those visits. Needless to say I have no respect nor much love for my dad as an adult!

Christi- I wasn't going to bother, it's quite a bit of fuel for me and I think it'll be a bit of a waste, they never have anything new. When is it this coming weekend?

My boobs are getting fuller, I finally fit into my pre C 36D's wow I love boobs! The saggy sacs have left the building!

Just a quick question for the Gauteng Ladies, is anyone planning on going to the Baby Expo at the Dome this year??

Hope everyone has a quiet night.

ladies, i dont understand the ex, we made and arrangement with them that they will take the kids every weekend till the weekend of the 24th, cause then they start to write exams and we want to keep the kids as stable as possible. on our way home the step dad phones and tell them they wont be picking them up tomorrow. WTF Sunday is mothers day, don’t she care ???? i would give every thing to have my kids with me. i think they are upset but don’t say or show anything.

I also adore Mexican food. And I have to say the vegetarian chilli was a MASSIVE hit. My dad didn't even notice it didn't have meat in which is awesome! The flavour was amazing and the beans gave it so much 'body'. Will definitely make it again!

Vix, that's so cute! I just ask Aidan and Abi if they've made 'stinkies' and they either say no or yes. Well not really yes, they just give me this naughty smile lol.

The twins aren't talking THAT much either. I think what's happening with Abi is that she knows every single thing around her and she is taking it all in because she is constantly bringing her books to us to read and just says 'kyk' for every thing. I think she's going to just start speaking sentences one of these days lol.
They can say Mamma, Dadda, Ellen(for Ellen degeneres lol), kyk, cat, moon, ta, klaar, hallo, hey, tata, dog, bird, nana for banana and Abi knows Aidan..although she says Ai-an. So not THAT much. But I'm not worried. I also think the fact that they are being brought up bilingually will make them struggle a bit at first.

LMAO Vix....c is too cute! Will be funny if visitor uses toilet or farts and he does that!

Addy does the pss pss for her detangling hair spray...daily part of life for my little bush head!

First house at 18??? Wow!

Lelani u are welcome anytime! I love making breyani!

Ally I love mexican but I hate mince. So my speciality in mexican is chicken enchiladas and nachos. nice thing about mexican is its so easy!

Lisha I'm so jealous....sounds like u got awesome bargains! Boxes sound lovely!

I'm still lost on motor and gross motor...lol. All I know is I think Addy is doing ok.
I think all the kids are!

Went shopping now for interview.got a nice pants....but I don't wear pants...and a long soft cream short sleeved jersey. I have brown round toe stilletos that I think will look very nice with the pants.
