just to bring you all up to date with my incredibly exciting... stimulating ... wanna have ... hectic life !!!
So since I last blogged ::::
It was my BESTIES EVER 's 40th Birthday on 29th April ... sadly I didn't get to see her but she knows I was thinking of her and sending big LUVVIES her way ... POSTNET helped us out there !!! She had a really Royal Birthday .. celebrated it on the Big Wedding Day LOL ...
We had a long weekend that weekend too ... no not because of the Royal Wedding ... but because of Workers Day 1st May ... that whole weekend was taken up with photo shoot for Tony's 50th Birthday and a Family Photo shoot on Monday .... needless to say a whole week of photo editing ( I know I said I would never do it ... but ... I also said I would never scrapbook either LOL ... not my fault I am so fickle !!!)
Of course Kelsey' s team played rugby on Saturday 30th ... against Port Shepstone and beat them by a mere 41-0 ... they also played rugby this weekend ... didn't do so well this time though ... they lost 12-0 against St.Henry's College ... the boys took this defeat really hard cos they were on a winning streak and it was the first time they had lost !!!
(Their Most Dedicated Supporter (ME) got told to read the 'code of conduct' !!! by Michelle ... still have no idea why !!! but hey it will be the last time I bother to (shout oops) support the boys ... seems to support them all you have to do is stand on the side lines and say nothing !!! oh well you live and learn !!! ;-)
My darling hubby did not forget our wedding anniversary on the 3rd May ... hey and I didn't forget either ... I just didn't send him flowers LOL ... Gosh I'm sure by now if I'd murdered him I'd be out for good behaviour (oops no cos I don't know how to behave myself !!!)
Check out this beautiful basket ... thank you my darling ... (and thanks to Verne from Bloomers ...see it pays to have a friend who is a florist)
Had a parents/teacher meeting last week ... Kelsey is doing very well at school ... teachers are impressed with him, only fault per say was he can get a little talkative in class !!! (have no idea where that comes from LOL) !!! I had to have a 'go' at him cos his last 2 tests were a disaster ... however luckily for him ... the teachers said the whole class did bad in their NS test so Mrs S is going to let them re-write it !!! See the excuse/reason was all the public holidays ... well that's what the kids blamed ... they said they all got confused over when the test was !!!! (lucky buggers ... but in fairness if Mrs S kept those results in the class average would drop badly too !!) So TODAY is re-write day ... let me tell you I now know EVERYTHING about The Phases of Matter !!!! PMSL
This past weekend ... was hectic ... as previously mentioned ... Kelsey had rugby ... I foolishly booked a stall at the HPS Family Fun Day (well we had fun last year & did really well !!!) and mum had been asked to doggy sit for Bella & Shadow ... so there I was needing to be in 2 places at once at the same time !!! Why oh why do I do this ??? But "I will survive" and I did ... thanks to Chloe coming to my rescue ... she only had to be at the High School in time to watch Shaun play in the 1sts !!! In fact our timing worked out really well ....
AGAIN the only thing we had no control over !!! The damned weather ... woke on Saturday morning to overcast skies but thought positive it wasn't going to rain !!! HA ! just got all set up and the heavens opened !!! rained like it had never rained before ... I abandoned Chloe to a wet & soggy table and told her not to stress I would be back to pack it all up after the U14 game .... by the time the game was over ... the sun came out and the rest of the day was beautiful (pity that didn't help change my mood !!! I think drugs is the only course now LOL )
Over-all I think the Family Fun Day was a success ... even with the very slow & wet start ... I know 'the after party' was enjoyed by a few !!! (what after party ??? ... not me I went straight home and was a very good boring girl PMSL, that damned twin sista' of mine making my name MUD !!!)
And then finally yesterday ... Mother's Day here in SA ... it pissed with rain all day ... was cold wet & miserable (bit like me then) ... I woke with very painful legs ... they're getting way to old for all this running around, standing all day and dancing all night LOL ... no son, no hubby and not even my mother !!! what a way to spend Mothers Day !!! On your own ... and NO this is not a celebratory 'on your own' this is a 'sick and tired of it' on your own !!! All the other mothers - out there being spoilt by their families... going to Breakfasts, Lunches ... generally having a family fun time !!!
Oh well I guess that's what you get when you 'choose' this life !!! ( and if you can't pick up the sarcasm in that ... then I'm definitely doing something wrong !!!)
