Oh My Word ...

It's been sooo long since I logged into Blogger I forgot my password LOL ... had to get them to send me it again !!!!

Is there really any point in trying to make excuses ??? No so I won't !!

What have I been up to ????

I've just been hectically crazy helping out at school ... one of the TA's is off sick so Sally asked if I can help her out !!! so I have been collating next years booklets for them and doing prom stuff and generally an office jockey... and who would have thought Kelsey would still be such a socialite (LOL) after the rugby season was over ??? Now it's parties & sleepovers and socialising and MUM's taxi has to do the running around !!!

But hey it all keeps me out of mischief !!!

I've also been hectically frantically trying to make all my Christmas Gifts ... but the shops are now starting to look a little like my rescuers !!! for those gifts that I'm just not finding the time for !!! But perhaps if I spent less time talking about them and more time doing !!!! Oh well here we go again " Princess of Procrastination" !!! ... all over again ...

No more kids Scrapbooking for this year ... not sure if I'm going to carry on next year ... gonna have to wait and see what Kelsey's HIGH SCHOOL schedule is all about !!! It is so frightening to think that in 9 days time he will be saying goodbye to Primary School AGAIN and then making the big move to HIGH SCHOOL ... phew it frightens me ... but he just takes it all in his stride ... he's like "I can't wait and then I'm gonna do this and I'm gonna start that and I'm gonna have soo many new friends and I'm gonna join all these new clubs !!! Oh boy Oh boy ... where has my little boy gone ???

So once we get into a routine next year I'll wait and see if I go back to scrapbooking at the school ... but what I do know is that from the helping out at school etc ... I have to either a) find me a job next year or b) really make a greater effort to get the business sorted .... I know I know you're all sick of hearing that ... but well I have the stock sitting 'going mouldy' in the garage and I have the knowledge gathering cobwebs in the head but what I don't have right now is the capital to get it up and running ... SO I have to do something before I go totally insane !!!

Oh and why is the stock going mouldy I hear you say (LOL) well that might have something to do with the fact that it has'nt stopped bloody raining in nearly 2 months !!! See I was'nt going to comment on the weather but it's there all the time so I just have to mention how crap it is !!! OK OK so we've had 2 or maybe 3 days of heat !!! big deal ... it just does'nt make up for all the rain and the cold and the damp... I actually have webs between my toes !!!! AND I'm still wearing my winter clothes and I still have the vests on ... ok I take them off on the odd hot day .... but I would really like to be able to complain to you all about how hot it is !!! ;->

Oh and only 5 more sleeps till Paul is here ... he's over for Christmas ... we are all soo excited about him coming again ... however Kelsey has already asked if I think dad will mind if he goes to his mates for sleepovers etc. when his dad's here cos he (Kelsey) does'nt want to miss out on the parties ???? I mean really !!! I'm sure Paul and I will find lots of things to do all on our own !!! without Kelsey (LOL) ... mind you we'll still have mother to deal with !!! so alone ???? Maybe NOT !!! But we'll have a bash at it !!!

I'm keeping fingers crossed that BFF Nan & the kids are coming to us for Christmas ... so that it will be nice to have the younger kids in the house on Christmas morning ... and Babs, Nishi, Yudesh & baby Sienna will be with us this year too ... she'll be celebrating Christmas and her 1st Birthday all in the same weekend ... so lots to celebrate there I think :-)... gonna make it really nice having a house full of family, friends & kids ... oooh getting excited :-)

Some odd things ...

OK so another week over ... heck TIME stands still for no-one !!!

This last week has been a bit slower but with odd bits & pieces thrown into it !!!

I'll start with the weather ... it continued with its weirdness again this last week !!! Stinking hot Monday, thunderstorms Tuesday !!! Dull overcast & cold for the rest of the week... oh sun shone enough on Thursday to get all the washing done ... but we've had our fair share of rain all weekend again...

Because of this we've had some rather unusual visitors to the garden & the house ...

Indi & Kleo have decided that maybe they can be friends for short periods of time ... If only Kleo would stop trying to bite Indi's face it would probably last a bit longer !!!

But I managed to catch them playing tug of war with this poor teddy ..

Then Kleo found a new friend to play with ... a Millipede (a.k.a - a shongololo here) ... she had us in hysterics cause it kept curling up when she went near it ...and they give off this 'foul smelling' scent when they are 'in danger' ...

She just had to keep going back ...

This little frog spent the day in the bath and eventually disappeared to ???? (apparently he's a type of Tree Frog and I believe they are poisonous ???)

I wasn't at school helping Monday ... decided to have a day to myself and started this .... what was I thinking ???

Well I guess Christmas is coming eh? and I have booked a couple of Christmas Fairs sooo ... may as well offer a couple of Christmas ornaments... a little something different I guess ???

Tuesday was at school for the Craft classes ... most of the kids have finished their 2011 calendars and YES I forgot the camera so No photos !!! I still have a couple of gals to complete theirs so I'll try to remember tomorrow !!! Going to start them on a 'Hanging Christmas Mini Book' ... we only have 3 more lessons of after school club !!! Where is the time going ???

Wednesday I played Chauffeur for Kelsey's teacher !!! (in the lashing rain!!!) Shame poor Mrs Krouwel was rushed into hospital week before for an emergency 'strangulated hernia' op !!! 1 week before exams start !!! And this woman is soo dedicated she wanted to make sure she got in to see her class before they started their exams ... She's not allowed to drive and she's not supposed to be walking around and standing either .... but there was no telling the woman ... so I did my 'class mum' duties and offered to help her out (well what else was I gonna be doing eh? )

Kelsey has been frantically studying ... Thursday saw the start of final exams !!! Hope he does well ... he has worked really hard this year ... (keeping all crossed for him and the other kids) ... Gr7 is nearly over !!! I can't believe that I am going through it all again ... better make sure I have tons of Rescue and tissues for the end of the year !!!

Talking of Gr7 being nearly over I better get my A. into G. and get his new school uniform sorted out eh ???

AND I still have some stuff to complete for the Prom ... still got this long list of Christmas Pressies to complete ... orders for some people to finish ... new ideas pop into the head all the time ...

You know I have all these things that NEED to be done but ooh! don't seem to have the energy or inclination to do them ... hell I can find more that 101 excuses ... hence MY title "Princess of Procrastination "!!!

I start to do lists and then make to do lists to do the to do lists !!!

AND then I get onto this damned computer and everything else goes by the way side !!!

I'm supposed to be burning RUGBY CD's for parents that have bought copies ... and printing photos for them too .... hey! tomorrows another day eh?

Oh just HAVE to mention the Ladies Night I went to on Thursday ... well I have not laughed so much in a long time ... in fact the sides are still aching ---- (or was that cos I nearly fell over that damned puppy and twisted my back ??? and NO I wasn't drunk at that point !!!) Some of the 'toys' that were on display ... mmm well !!! But the comments from the more conservative ladies were the best !!!!... I still have a giggle when I think about it ...

Had a very,very lazy weekend (did I mention I hate weekends??? especially when there's nothing to do ??? but I could have looked at my to do list eh?) ... my son was M.I.A or most of it anyway (he did come home for a change of clothes and to do SOME studying) ... thankfully he has this really good mate of his (Heine) and they spend all their time together ... at his house (well he has a pool !!! and a huge garden) I've promised Lynette (Heine's mum) that as soon as we are in our own place it will be pay back time !!! But I think I have the boys this weekend coming ... well I know I do on Friday ... they're helping me at the REM Unit Christmas Picnic ... we're in charge of the WORS rolls & Hot dogs again ... hopefully the weather will play nicely ???

And so that is you all up to date again ... such an exciting and interesting life that I lead !!! ROFLMAO !!!

WOW ! GOSH ! my word...

Its' fixed .... maybe the computer gremlins got fed up of my complaining !!! LOL

See I just moaned about it (AGAIN) when I wrote my blog this morning and hey Presto like magic ... all sorted ...

So now maybe I have to go back to blogging again :-)

Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!
xxxxx
:-)

Ooooh So Bad ....

that's me !!!

Sooo long since I blogged ??? Seems I have lost the joy of blogging cos this stoopid page isn't right and I can't get it right no matter what I try and I'm not starting all over again ... Face book is just sooo much easier, and quicker BUT

I've been getting last years blog put into a book ... Blogs 2 Print... it's awesome ... but has taken me sooo long to sort out cos you have to do it page by page if you want the photos to match up to the text !!! But now it's like having the last year in a journal ... a nice glossy book that we can page through in the future and laugh about my escapades !!!

All that's not even gonna be my excuse ...

I'm not even gonna give you an excuse ... cos honestly I don't have one !!!

OK so since I last wrote on here ... The Sharks won the Curry Cup !!! yahoo ... we knew they would LOL ... OH and The Springboks beat the Irish too since I last wrote on here another Yahoo !!! ;-) ... watch out Wales we'll whoop ass this coming weekend too :-)

Kelsey went to his Halloween Party, not gonna say much about the drunken teenagers ... no thankfully not my son ... but his eyes were opened nice and wide about some of the kids he's gonna see around High School next year ... I told him to remember their faces and when they try to 'pick' on him all he has to say is "Oh so this is what you look like sober!" LOL

Been helping out here and there at school still doing all the decor for the end of year Prom ... gonna be fun I hope .. I am sooo glad I don't have a daughter now ... no stressing and oohing and aahing over damned Prom Dresses !!!! It's gonna be pants, shirt (maybe tie!!!) "Hell no tux for me mum !!! " (well that's what he's saying now ... lets wait and see shall we !!! )

Other than that ... not really been up to much BUT had no time to do it in anyway !!! All the usual excuses between school runs, helping out, scrapping at school, oh and making my Christmas Pressies !!! (yes I have been busy with that but can't be showing too many photos (a) don't have the camera and (b) don't want to be giving away too many surprises just yet !!!)

Last week the weather was weird ... either stinking hot ... Kelsey was out swimming at Heine's for 3 days of the week OR it was freezing cold and lashing it down with gale force winds and hail !!! Weird, VERY weird ...

The weekends weather continued in it's weirdness ... but I had no child for the best part of the weekend .. he was at a sleepover at his mate Heine's and there were girls sleeping over too !!! (frightening) ... then he had a Party to go to on Saturday night ... so I only saw him after 10pm !!!

Sunday we had the Hillcrest Villagers Junior Rugby awards presentation ... and yet another Proud Mum Moment ... Kelsey was given a Gold Award for U13 Most Dedicated Player... so chuffed that he was recognised for all the hard work he has put in ... and pleased the many nights of nagging (from me) were also rewarded LOL ....

And that's just about it ... so really what is it that is keeping me from this page ??? Can't say really ... maybe just as I said in the beginning I'm miffed with the new layout and just can't seem to fix it ... :-0
