I do declare ...

that this Tick Bite Fever is THE WORST ever disease EVER ... I have never felt so shit in all my life...

I would rather have a Migraine any day than this constant dull headache ... the nausea just doesn't go away and yesterday I'm sitting having coffee with the Mum's Committee and you'd swear I'd taken a shower in my clothes ... I was wet everywhere (the lovely Trish kept handing me tissues to mop my brow and face !!!) When I stood up it looked liked I'd p'd myself (lol)

Last night I couldn't get warm and now I know what 'dehydrated muscles' feel like ... I could hear then screaming out for fluids ... and no matter how much I drank it didn't ease the pains...

The doctor says get plenty of rest ... he is kidding right ... with a 12 year old and mum to take care of ... I say "guys I'm going for a lie down for a bit ... 15 mins later Kelsey comes in to tell me the electricity has gone of !!! 10mins later he comes back in to ask if he can go out with a friend, 20 mins after that the electricity comes back on and mum comes in to ask if I want some tea in case the electricity goes off again ... gotta bless them all really eh? NOT !!!

I was chatting to mum this morning and do you realise (well you might not be interested but you're gonna hear it anyway LOL) that I have been sick MORE in the last 71weeks (that's the number of weeks we've been here in SA - but who's counting eh?) than I ever was in 8 years living in the UK ... so this proves that the cold does keep the bugs away !!!

Want to hear something else frightening ???

Yesterday I handed in the application forms for Kelsey for High School for 2011 !!! (big sigh!!!) I can't believe it but it felt like just yesterday that he was toddling into Nursery School ... and I know I have filled in 'Big, Big' School forms before ... when we were in the UK but we knew he wasn't going to be going then ... this time it is really for real !!!

We had the orientation evenings this week for Grade 7 at school ... boy it sounds like not only is this year going to be lots of HARD work but also Lots & Lots of Fun too ... Seems like Grade 7 do an awful lot of socialising as well as loads of fund raising for the school too ... hopefully it will keep us both out of mischief eh? And I met Kelsey's new teacher ... Mrs Krouwel (that's the correct way to spell her name) and I think we're in for a really fun and interesting year with her too, she told us all our kids were lovely and sooo well behaved !!! (well it is still early days !!! pmsl)

So the sun is shining ... I'm supposed to be resting (ha! Ha!) gonna put the washing machine on !!! 'gotta make washing while the sun shines' ... then I'll rest ... (NOT)
