WooooooHooooooo

My HOLIDAYS have officially started ........

I am leaving work right now ... walking out the door ...well as soon as I have posted this blog LOL .... Only Back to School on Wednesday 9th January ...

If I don't manage to post over the Holidays .... cos I'll be way toooooo busy soaking up the HEAT in POLOKWANE ...

Or maybe the 20.12.2012 'THING' happens !!! I'm just putting it out there to you all:

Happy Christmas ... and a Peaceful New year

Just have to share todays O.I.A moment ...

Picture this ... it's 3.45am ... I am FAST asleep ... dead to the world ... not even thinking of waking yet and SON-shine wakes me with a 'JANET' .... I'm like W.T.F ... he said he'd called MUM at least 5 times and I did'nt even move LOL

Anyway ... why is he waking me at that un-GOD-ly hour ??? Seems he was woken by 'something' slapping him in the face !!! WHAT ... he said he was fast asleep and felt something slap his face ... he said he switched the light on ... but saw nothing ... curled back into bed and was just about to go back to sleep when he felt this thing moving in bed with him and he dived out of bed and RAN into my room (PMSL) ..

SO the time it takes me to drag my old aching bones out of bed to find his mystery visitor he then tells me its flying around in the lounge !!!!I told him it was probably a big moth or something ... but he says 'no it's way bigger ..

WELL folks it was a BAT...next was the funniest thing you can ever imagine !!! there I am trying hard to distract this poor creature and get him to fly out of the front doors ... all I'm gonna say is if the neighbours were awake at that crazy hour they would have called the 'Funny Farm' for me !!!! You know those ground crew guys that direct the planes into their places at the airport >??? well there I am in my PJ's with a couple of tea towels instead of paddles and I'm 'directing' my 'airbat' out the door ... It was freekin hilarious ,,,, eventually the poor chap escaped through the patio doors ...

ONLY IN AFRICA !!!

Well ... that's it ... I survived

Another academic year draws to an end ... today is officially the last day of school for 2012 ... well for the kids anyway ... we staff still have to go into work for 2 days next week ... but just to tidy up and get started on plans for next year ... Can you believe it but I have survived my first year 'back at school' LOL

 So this last week has been chaos ... what with the end of year PROM (which turned out to be a huge success) ... me as the 'photographer' ... over 1000 photos taken and I spent a further 16 hours editing !!!

Of course SON-shine was with me on the night so he just had to strike a pose !!!

But having him there meant I was able to get my face in a few pictures too ... the Super 7's staff:

The clean up afterwards ... all the end of year class parties etc ... running around from left to right and back to front ... everyone expecting their things to have priority !!! Grrrr ... don't do the 'octopus' thing too well ... but I promised myself I would NOT be loosing the temper or the plot !!! OK so I did loose it a little ... all I'm going to say on this matter is that I now have 1 less Christmas present to buy !!!!

Today we also had our 'staff' lunch ... it was really great to be able to let one's hair down  ... sadly though some let down yet more than their hair ... and this time I'm glad I was not one of them ... you know that old saying ... something about becoming like the company you keep !!! Well I'm pleased to say I've changed company recently !!! I went, I ate and I enjoyed my lunch ... and at just the right time I walked away...LOL

Kelsey's last day was on Wednesday ... so now he's finished his Gr 9 year ... don't know about his results yet ... we have to wait for the report card to be delivered in the post ... so we wait in anticipation !!! I know he's passed Gr9 ... but I still want to SEE the results ...

And so now my Christmas preparations start ... got things to make, places to go and people to see ... Paul arrives here next week Friday ... we planning a trip up to Nan's place in Polokwane (well I need to some sunshine ... so I figured if the sun ain't coming to me ... I'm going to it) Kelsey is hoping to spend some time in the bush with Alex and I'm gonna spend some quality time with BFF ... well that's the plan anyway ...
