Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Ally your timing sucks. I can't believe you are staying around the corner from my home and I am in India. When are you here?????

Lisha sorry about your gran. I hope she gets better even if slowly.

Simone I also hope that those ladies have their dreams come true. Some of them have been trying for up to 6 years. So sad.

Vix - sorry i meant to say I'm there for the L&L baby expo. wanna do coffee again?

Julz, yep, loads of writing for me. I am still so flabbergasted that I am now considered a food writer. I got an e-mail from a guy a while ago inviting me to have dinner at their restaurant and when I asked if tickets to CT are included he said he's shocked that such an "established writer" doesn't have a sponsorship for flights lol. I was really like "Whaaatttt?" I couldnt believe it. And I think my high school English teacher would fall over backwards if she heard people calling me a writer lol.

And then my home-ec teacher is also going to be shocked when she sees me on Pasella! I could never follow a recipe and was terrible in her class lol.

So I'll be staying with my aunt in Welgemoed and I've got my own car so I can perhaps meet some of you somewhere BUT I have such limited time so I don't know if it'll be worth it for most of you? I literally have like an hour on Sunday.

Ok, let me book my car quickly and get some other stuff sorted. Need to start getting more organised coz things are happening so fast now and I forget who I haven't replied to etc. so I want C to put up a big white board for me in the office so I can keep track of everything. And then I also need to SERIOUSLY clean up the office. I have cookbooks and notepads ALL OVER so it makes it very hard to stay organised. Flip, I feel like I need a PA lol.

Julz...ouch on the early flight!!!

Re: ttc....I know what you mean...that's why I also think better for me to stay away because I dont understand any of the lingo! I feel like cause I dont take soy and rub creams on myself and heck knows what else...nobody is interested in my boring, normal TTC.

There are ladies I am PRAYING for a bfp for asap that have no kids and have been trying for so long...breaks my heart....

Greeetings from Hyderebad!!

Having an awesome time.

Got to see a few clinics today. I am staying in the Leoni resort. It is amazing (as far as India goes). I have a stunning hotel room, there is proably the best spa i have ever seen and my host has been amazing. feel bad for not having Neil with me to enjoy it more.

P fairly welcome back. So pleased your trip went well and I am sure you are going to enjoy living in Perth.

Mandy I like your possitive attitude. So true!

Saw my first accident in India today. Not too bad thankfully.

Ally wow lots of writting !

Vix are you feeling okay. How is c?

Simone no dstv. Join the club. You will have loads of family time now.

As for your ttc thread, it was amazing a year back. Level headedness and truly helpful, but it seems not that there needs to be someone to help these ladies properly. They poas far too often and try to interpret their own results which isn't ideal. I do understand what they are going through but I think they may be stressing each other out more. I may be out of line too though by saying this.

Helen how are the kids?

Yoza the party sounded good.

Lelani glad Zian is enyoung the monkeynastics. Dylan will start at age 3. It is slightly different. He has also become a flipping monkey.

I found Dylan on his chair on a table the other day!!! Mom took a photo first before removing him.

Neil says Dylan is fine. Got to talk to him via skype and all is well at home. Still finding out about car and I guess Neil will want to get another doggie for Tina to have company.

So much on our plates.

I am looking forwards to getting back to my girls. Got a seriously busy week ahead. Clinic duty from Wed to Sunday possibly and we leave on Monday at 4 in the morning which means we leave for the airport at 1am!

Chat again later. x

Hi there girls

I'm still way behind, so please bare with me xxx

Kids are doing great

still waiting to hear when the interview will be, but he said he'll phone me tuesday or wednesday so, tick tock tick tock.....

had a nice weekend, friday braai, sat cleaning the house & relaxing & sunday church & shopping.
Zian started doing monkey nastics at school & now he thinks his a monkey......making the weirdest moves, stretching & climbing up things that are unclimable!!!
Chanel is still lazy with school work & I'm really worried about her marks end of this term, but maby that's what will get her to get her backside into gear

hope you all have a fabulous week xxx

Hi ladies

Mandy thanks for the lovely message so early in the morning! I was driving to work and saw all the posters for the horrible cricket match...got so depressed all over again...then got to work and hear my colleague's 23yr old brother was stabbed to death over the weekend Makes me so sad....and your message is very true...life is so cruelly cut short...we have to make the best of every moment.

Nicole thanks..will appreciate the support...the more tips the merrier;-) Also had a good chuckle on the F word. If you guys just ignore him I'm sure he wont repeat it. Luckily the bump wasnt serious!

Ooh Vix....hope you feel better soon....luckily as you say the load is a bit lighter with C at school so hope you get some rest! PUT THE CAPE IN THE CLOSET AND REST!!

And again...sod off about the cricket! lol.

Lisha...I am an accountant and not a teacher...as excited as what I was and in my head I was gonna be the best darn teacher in the world...people would applaud me and ask me to do it full time...that's how good it looked in my head Then I choked BIG TIME

I forgot the story so kept having to look at the story....Things didnt flow, I dont like starting songs...I'm actually horrible with kids I realised...lol. Then I was saying: God loves Addy and L and S....and then I thought...let me see if they're paying attention so stopped saying their names and just pointing for them so scream it out...and um...I think the moms thought I forgot their kids names!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the plus side they liked the biscuits and jelly tots!

We had a good weekend...Addy was super cute this morning when I woke up....sucked leaving her..and she wasnt too happy either about me leaving.

Goodness...just realised dstv is going off today Addy is going to cry for ceebeebies. Last night I recorded a whole episode of in the night garden with my phone so if she cries for it she'll have to watch it on my phone..lol. Watching it back...flip I have shakes like a freakin alcoholic Mandy I'm gonna have to read your post every 5 minutes today! lol
