Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Hi ladies

P fairy you are a genius!!! I love the whole passport concept. Clever mommy.

Ladies the meet sounded fab and can't wait to see pics soon. x

Simone you can freeze the wine in smaller bags and use for the next meal.

Leigh your cakes are awesome. As always.

Zee I am so sorry about your mom. It must be so hard when a parent is ill.

Ally sounds like you are sorted. I feel for you at the moment and hope that you find out what it is you want. Maybe consider chatting to someone???

Mandy yay on the tv. We only just got our a while back and now they have the new LCD. YOu just can't keep up hey. The spring clean sounds amazing. Need one too.

Simone so at least Addy is lagging behind in something. Tantrums. About time I would say.

We had a rediculous weekend. Went out on Friday on our own. Dylan was an angel. Babysitter was amazed. Sat morn. went to travel clinic for jabs, then to a babyshower in bo kaap then home only to leave an hour later for Town again for early dinner with friends. They have two properties in Camps bay. A flat which is amazing and then this house which they were supposed to move into for their son. The view of the sea is stunning. Only hassle is stairs staris and more stairs and an uncovered pool so not relaxing at all. Glad I have a home with no pool or I would have gone mad already.

Sunday Dylan had to go to a party at our italian friends so it was lovely, but he was seriously bullied by a girl. she pushed him over the whole time and he was super upset. I secretly wished he had thumped her, but also glad he didn't. Mom was sweet and apologised but should have given her child more of a talking to. I battled not to laught mostly.

HI ladies.

So sorry I've not yet put the photo's on FB. We were out yesterday all day and today I'm even busier. I have to write 3 blog posts still go to Makro, Woolies and the pharmacy and then start packing. ALthough I might leave the packing for tomorrow morning. We're only leaving at 13h00.

C and I are fighting quite badly at the moment. A LOT of really personal issues and explaining it all would take pages and pages of writing. But we're at a crossroads, I know it. I'm feeling abit emotionally exhausted coz we spoke/fought for 3 hours yesterday and I still don't know what to do. The fault is mostly at my side, I've changed towards him since having the kids and I don't feel the same anymore. I don't want to leave him but I'm feeling more and more like we aren't meant to be together. I'm going to really try to figure my screwed up head out. He's a wonderful man and he is the best father I'll ever find for my children so divorce is just not an option. We WILL work this out. I really just need to figure out why my feelings for him changed so much. But I have to be honest, right now, leaving him feels like the right thing to do. But I won't.

Hi ladies

Hope you are all doing well. Going okay here, had a lovely weekend, really enjoyed the meet and all the moms and babies are looking great. Z enjoyed it so much! It was so good to see everyone … Xen is so cute and I was so nervous when it was my turn to hold him. I’m telling you I clean forgot how it was with a newborn, ag, but he is adorable. And the pregnant moms really look fabulous.

I went to the spa yesterday to use my bday voucher and it was so relaxing – the body massage and pedicure was sooooo nice. But when I got out, I had a call from my mom saying she had to go to the hospital with thrombosis. So then I spent the entire day at the hospital with her, she is still there and doing okay but I just feel bad because our roles are continually becoming reversed. I’m the caretaker now and it scares me!

In any hoo, Ally, I’m going to the launch of Cake boss in SA this week, will let you know how it was.

Leigh, I’m sorry about the job disappointment – really hope your hubby finds a great job soon.

Mandy, talking to cupboards is not a bad thing  Great news about the tax return, I actually had a nightmare about mine!

Simone, just drink the wine!!!! I love red wine, its probably the thing I missed most when I was pregnant … Glad that Addy is sleeping better.

Pfairy, good to hear from you again and the activities are so cute …

Okay, got to go. Hope you have a lovely week.

for those of you who think im mad, i meant tackled not talked the rooms and cupboards in our house.

Simone - im sure you can come to my sister or dads house as our back up. My sister lives in beverly grove and my dad lives in lorraine - they are 5 minutes from each other.. lets just see when Miss K prefers?

We changed Tax consultants because last year he told me he had submitted and i found out after deadline that he hadnt! anyhoo - this this tax lady submitted my 2010 return on wednesday and we got the money for mine back on saturday!! WHOO HOO!! so we have decided to buy a LCD HD tv - WHOOP WHOOP!! we feel like the only ones on the planet without a lcd tv!!none of our friends have tvs like our tv which is like half a meter thick... We went to price them and WOW they are pricey, but we have waited forever and so we will probably get one in a month or so.

Vix - my neighbour was so grateful for the tea, thanks so much for bringing it to our meet.. she says his constapation is starting up again so she will give it a bash and keep us posted. I remembered your guidelines to tell her.

okay, im watching supernanny so gotta dash!

Have a good week end!

Ally I'm not sure if this is a theme or idea... I saw a recipe in your family that calls for red wine. Great...i have red wine...but I don't drink it...so if I use half a cup what do I do with the rest? So perhaps if u have 3 dishes that can be made with red wine....that's 3 dishes I could make so as not to waste the wine.

But I don't know how healthy that is and if wine can be open for so long??

Mandy spring clean sounds lovely!

Oh Mandy that sounds so sad...lol...me talking to myself! Ha ha.

Will check with miss k which day is better then as she is the only one working. And u are most welcome to bring your whole family with u either day...i know your time with them is short.

Mandy/miss k If its cold we need a back up. I don't mind coming to u or u can come to my VERY SHABBY place. Lol.

Oh my word Gerard put on the sound of music for Addy....what an annoying movie! I've never seen it before...this woman sings all the time!

Ara, Angie, enigma....how are u ladies?

Shame Simone, looks like you have been talking to yourself the last 24hrs! Thanks for all your posts otherwise i wouldve had nothing to read..
Pfairy - you MUST come to JHB sometimes? If you ever do plan a trip through we would have a celebratory meet! so Monday afternoon I can do the pink fig - say 3pm - but i would be bringing my sisters 2 kids with me and my sister and my mommy..but hey thats cool with me.. but then would Miss K be able to meet? its that or Sunday at about 10h30 - 1? YOu guys choose but i HAVE to see you both!! GALS - IM HAPPY TO PAY FOR OUR PINK FIG VISIT FOR THE 3 of us.. please let me do it as I know you gals are needing to keep all your pennies at the moment, and dh is giving me a holiday budget for when i am down there to have a little fun and we are both working and have a few extra pennies at the moment
