No, no, NO, no...

absolutely NO snow for us to chase this weekend !!! hahaha *evil laugh*

We're having a long weekend, our kids are off school today and tomorrow as it is a public holiday tomorrow 'Women's Day' ... and after all the 'doom & gloom' weather reports I was expecting to be getting up on Saturday morning to a scene from Narnia ... and although Saturday was Ass Freezing Cold ... there was definitely NO SNOW ... not even in the mountains .. and why??? Cos I promised the kids that if there was snow I would take them snow-chasing either today or tomorrow ... (hahahaha I know exactly how to keep the bad weather at bay now !!!!)

Oh have to mention ... the bug thing I thought I'd picked up ... well it's also known as a Kidney Infection !!! Yup ended up in so much pain I nearly crashed the car on Friday so I went to the doctors ... he said "you have a hectic kidney & bladder infection" so I'm on a course of anti-biotics ...

Do you know I have been to the doctors more times in the last 3 years here in SA than I ever was in the 8 years I was in England !!! Wonder why that is ??? Can't blame the heat !!! cos we hardly get any LOL .... I wonder if it's cos I'm NOT working hard and I have time to be sitting around lazily waiting for things to catch me PMSL !!! You know what I'm talking about ... when you're sooo busy rushing around, with deadlines, classes hectic lifestyle you're just running too fast for any nasty bugs to catch you ... then when you calm down, do nothing ... you catch them all .... well I know that works with me cos every year at Christmas when I used to come out here to SA ,before I'd have a hectically busy build up to Christmas ... crafting,shows, classes etc like a demon ... the first week of my hols I was always sick !!!

Well just gives me something else to be moaning about, and talking of moaning:

Kelsey played rugby yesterday and I think it was one of his personal best games ... but he only got to play half a game !!! He got taken off just after half time ... I'm not even sure if I wanna be going through this CLUB RUGBY scene again ... especially when you are led to believe one thing is going to happen ... then something else happens... the coaches have come up with a 'way out' for their decision making process ... they have decided on a new logo for this season "Team before Me" and apparently that is supposed to make any decision to play or not play someone all OK ... but at least Kelsey did get half a game ... some poor kids who were told to pitch for the match didn't even get game time !!!

As I was led to believe ... if we had enough players our 'coaches' were going to put forward 2 teams for this season (not bad considering last year HVJR had a hard time putting forward 1 team in this age group, every weekend Michelle was driving around collecting boys to make up a full squad, and on one rare occasion Kelsey was asked to sit on the bench as a sub cos they didn't have enough guys !!!) ... because U14/U15 are a combined age group a management decision was taken to put the U15 boys in the A league and the U14 boys in the B league ... fair game... it means that all the kids will then get game time and everyone should be happy ... well come game day match A takes place and that happens ... the U15 boys played their game with some of the better U14 boys on the SUB bench for them ... excellent idea ... gives the better boys an opportunity to prove themselves in the A league... (sadly they lost their match) then it comes to the B side ... our U14 boys ... they go on and play very well together in the 1st half ...we were on 5-5 by the half time whistle ...then the 'coaches' decide our motto which is great if it's actually really Team before Me ... but actually it should be Win at All Costs ... even to the detriment of the fun of the game... cos suddenly the U15 boys are being put on the field in the U14 boys places !!! Now yes they can do that cos it is a mixed division ... but they didn't really make that much of a difference cos we still ended the game on a draw 10-10 !!!

Sooo my questions are : how do the younger boys ever get to gel together as a team if they are not going to get the time to play together ??? and how do the boys with little or no experience get that experience if they are not even going to get game time ??? ... maybe my problem is I would like this world to be a FAIR place and in reality life is not fair and it is a dog eat dog world and we should not be teaching our kids to be kind to others and work well with others and respect others ... what we really should be teaching is it is all about every man for himself and get out their and win at all and any cost and bugger the people you have to step on to get there ???

It makes me soooo mad ... it's all about results .. about WINNING only ... and did we win ... hell NO !!!

Oh well old Cyni-cal strikes again !!!

But I am not going to let that put a dampener on my long weekend ... I have a lot of work to be getting on with ... oh and talking of work I have applied for another job ... a classroom assistant position at the Primary School ... well even if I only get interview experience it's better than nothing hahahaha...

Oh I went to the High School on Friday ... it was their Founders Day and took tons of photos .. so I have those to sort out and work on... Saturday we (the HHS Supporters Club) catered at the Soccer Tournament ... it was blerdy freezing ... but we die hards stuck out the cold and made some funds for our committee ... and ... oooh I almost forgot, how could I forget probably the most important piece of news ... I have a Workshop Day to prepare for !!!! YES you read it right ... I am going to be doing a Scrapbooking/Papercraft Workshop at the High School ...a) to keep me busy b) to build up my client base & c) to raise some funds for the school ... now how great does that sound ???

Actually I have a lot to be doing in the next couple of months, wedding photo shoots booked, jewellery orders to complete, school photos to sort, Workshop day to plan, Christmas to organise ... so why the hell am I worrying about getting a job ... I know what's going to happen now ... I have all this stuffs to be doing AND I'll get a job too ... you know me folks it's all or nothing !!!
