Last term means we have a year end exams ... so lots of studying ahead of us ... Grrrr ... but as Kelsey has done so well so far this year I'm going to try not to stress too much about that .... well not just yet anyway ...
Last week just seems to have flown over ... once it was back to school and the routine kicked in ... I had all these good intentions of doing soooo much ... I mean my to do list just seems to be getting longer not shorter ...
Monday morning I had to take Kleo back to the vets ... when we woke up she was 'bleeding' and not from her wound !!! in the human world we would have said 'ladies problems' !!! Vet put her on a course of anti-biotics, gave her a shot and re-dressed her paw ... oh did I mention we'd taken her to be spayed ... and have a growth removed from her front paw ... anyway she's all better now ... and today she had all her stitches removed ... she did look so cute with her little sock on ... only dog I know who does NOT object to being dressed up ... she's a strange one ... probably why she fits into this crazy family so well LOL !!!
"Check out my sexy sock !!! and I'm supporting the Bokke !!!"
Then ... the new car ... oh did I mention that one ??? The day Paul arrived he was informed "Come Hell or High water you're not getting back on a plane unless I have a 2nd car on my driveway ... you have no idea how difficult my life is without transport nag nag nag nag !!!!" *in moaning wife voice* and OMG he took me seriously ... mind you the fact that he was with us when we broke down at 9pm at night in the middle of Durban ... when had he not been with us it would have been just K & Me !!! and then have to get towed back to Hillcrest and spend 2 days without a car here ... as nasty as it sounds .... maybe Karma was on my side for a change ... so the last week Paul was here we were car hunting ... and way got me another car ... not new 2nd hand but a hell of a lot better(No not better just more reliable than mine) ... a Nissan Murano ... and I would take a photo and post it on here to brag about it ... but I don't have it AGAIN !!! ... well through Paul's power of persuasion had it for the last weekend he was here ... but there were 'things' that Nissan needed to put right on it !!! so I had to take it back on Monday ... and here I am a whole week later and I still don't have it back ..... welcome to Africa ... H U A W !!!
The rest of the week went really well ... and the fact that the sun has shone all week ... with temperatures in the higher 20's and odd 30 ... just made it a really nice week ...
Thursday I met up with a great bunch of ladies ... Adele ... one of the rugby mums told me about the group she met with on a regular basis ... they're all card makers and are all self taught... swapping ideas between them ... well Adele told me about them and them about me and they invited me to pop along and have a chat with them ... what a great and productive morning ... managed to share quite a few ideas just in our first session and now we're going to be meeting once a month for 'Card Making Classes' .... wahooo ... the teacher in me jumping up and down !!!
Then this weekend saw Kelsey playing his last match for the season ... another wahooo ... a couple of months of no rugby ... well no being a rugby mum as such ... although they have started pre - pre-season training ... please don't make me explain that one ... so he is still 'keeping fit' ...
unfortunately they lost their last match 17-5 but they were an U14 squad playing against a touring U15 squad ... and boy those U15 were HUGE !!! so I think they did really really well ... although there's no more rugby I've still got committee meetings ... like tomorrow night ... making plans for the end of season awards ... it never ends !!!
Sunday morning found me doing one of the craziest things I've done so far this year !!! I was up at 4am ... yes you read it right 4am ... to 'Man' a water station on behalf of the High School for the Amashova Cycle race ... people cycle from Pietermaritzburg to Durban ... 96km !!! I mean seriously who does that ... and seriously who gets up at 4am to man a water station ... well I guess I do !!! and then on Sunday afternoon I met up with one of my 'Brides to be' to discuss her wedding photos ...
Heck man ... and there I was looking forward to some quiet time before Christmas !!! Hahahaha ... oh and to end this episode ... just have to mention my next Workshop is booked for 3rd December ... so I really have no time to be dilly dallying !!!
