Bad Moon Rising !!!
Oh Boy what a week ... and its only Wednesday !!! (well that was the day I started this blog !!! and here I am on Friday and I'm still writing the blog ... didn't manage to post this ... so don't go being confused when this page says posted on Wednesday ... it's something that blogger does !!! doesn't save/edit in real time !!!)
So where do I start ... YES ... Kelsey's fight ... I am so incredibly proud of my Son-shine ... I never thought in a million years that I would see my boy step over that 'threshold' .. and you know what ... he did ... and even though he came out 2nd in a 2 man fight (LOL) I was really, really proud of him ... he did so well ... he tapped-out as his opponent got him in a strangle hold ... and what an awesome young man ... he even came over to us to apologise for winning. We actually all had a great afternoon ... watching some of the other fighters ... Kelsey had a huge fan club with him ... I had a car full of Girls (Stevie, Kaela & Jenna) and Heini too, then Michelle, Adrian, Cody & Summer arrived to support him, Uncle Lawrence was there as well as Sally & Chris Byram with Brittani & a friend of hers ... so he had his own fan club going ... hehehe
And then onto the rest of the week ... well it just seems to be a continuous blur of driving and rugby and more driving and then even more rugby !!!
SON-shine has now started his additional rugby training in Durban North for DRSU on Tuesday and Thursday ... so our week in very FULL to say the least ... what has become the hardest to juggle are meals ... our usual routine would be to eat at 6.30pm ... but as his training is starting at 6pm going on till 8pm and it's an hour drive either way ... so meals have been on the run ... shovel food in before we go ... then have a snack for the journey home ... what a crap week to try and start a diet !!!
Oh and talking of a diet ... another stupid idea to start a diet in a week when I go into school to teach the kids how to make bread !!! and then of course I have to be a judge for all the bread these kids made ... and taste test 16 loaves !!! Carbo overload ...
And then I had to taste test the chocolates that I am making for the Sports Dinner ... mmm yup definitely a good week to start a diet !!!
Oh and talking of Sports Dinner ... seems I'm on that committee too ... so now I have to be booking tables, sorting linen, choosing colour schemes, flowers etc... for the High School Sports Dinner ... oh and Paul this function just happens to be on during the 1st week you're here ... so my darling you will definitely have to hit the ground running !!!
And I'm really excited about tomorrow ... I've booked myself on a workshop day !!! yes I'm going to be doing me some crafting ... thought it would be a good exercise ... a chance for me to do a bit of investigating ... see how they do workshops here ... I will keep you posted on that one too...
So as you can see a really busy crazy week ... and it doesn't look like it's going to get any quieter over the next couple of weeks either ... oh well I wanted to be doing something to keep me out of mischief !!!

So much for ...
blogging regularly ...
and here we are already at Thursday and so much to fill you in on ... (NEXT update from rugbymum.com !!! LOL)
Did he make it??? or did he not ??? But firstly I have to tell you I've been using the wrong letters ... Kelsey attended Durban Rugby Sub-Union trials = DRSU not DSRU ... just thought I better clear that one up !!!
YES YES & YES !!! Kelsey has been selected to represent KZN ... thankfully NOT for the touring team ... for the reserves and home team ... but we don't see that as second best ... we still see this as a HUGE milestone in his rugby career ... and honestly a job well done for someone who has only being playing rugby for 3 years ... I mean there are some kids that have been playing rugby since they were 5 years old ... and they didn't make it ... another proud mum moment !!!
So now what ??? well this means that although he's not on the touring side he is on the team that stays here in KZN and plays against the squads that come here to us .. so he still has to do all the extra training that's involved ... OMG ... do you realise just how crazy my weeks are going to be for the next 2 months !!!
This is how our weeks are going to play out ... Monday night it's 2 hours of MMA (Kickboxing & Mixed Martial Arts) Tuesday night 2 hours of DRSU training, Wednesday Night 2 hours Club Rugby Training, Thursday Night DRSU Training and Friday Night 2 hours of Club Rugby again ... Saturday thankfully a day of rest ... and Sunday is Club Rugby Matches !!! and all these training sessions are after school hours !!! and he'll still have homework to do ... and we have end of term assessments coming up .... Aaaaaaargh ... when exactly are we expected to eat ??? never mind sleep ???
Oh the joys of being a "dedicated sportsman" (and who said moving here to SA was gonna be bad for him, mad maybe but definitely not bad !!!)
Hey I'm just e-Taxi Driver !!!
Oh ... just have to mention ... this Saturday Kelsey is fighting ... yes you read it right FIGHTING in his first MMA fight !!! Yeah yeah ... I know I said he could do the training but NO fights ... but then I was 'persuaded' into believing that the fight was part of the training !!! DUH don't think so !!! Oh well now I have that to contend with ... watching some other dude beat up my child or my child beat up some other dude ... and all in a controlled environment !!!
Watch this space for the next episode ...
What else have I been up to ...mmm well lets move onto the crafting side ... went to PMB with Adele and spent 4 hours making yet more 'non-adhesive' bound books ... really enjoyed getting to do something creative again ... also helped get me a bit more motivated for my up-coming workshop ... although the thought of trying to find 'stuff' in that damned garage gives me the heebie jeebies !!! I've already advertised what we're going to be doing in the Workshop ... now I've just got to find the stock, make up some current samples and make up the kits ... well it gives me something to do between 10pm and 5am !!! LOL
And finally a quick note, just had to add my weather report ... today the 1st September ... Spring Day for us ... and what a pleasure ... the sun was shining beautifully... temperatures rose to upper 20's and there's a warm wind blowing tonight .... I just know that this means we're going to have a scorcher of a Summer ahead of us .... FINALLY I've found some African HEAT !!!!
