I realise I haven't written on my blog for awhile and well... I guess since all this shit went down in my life this year .... the last thing I wanted to do was fill my blog with all my woes and self pity .... and as I have made a promise to myself that I am going to adhere to my 2013 word : CHANGE .... it has been very hard not to sit down and ramble on about a lot of things .... and of course I know a lot of people may be disappointed in the fact that I have not 'gone off on one' ... so I guess then I am adhering to the new ME !!!
Sorry all you gossip mongers ... I'm not going to be feeding you anything that you can sink your teeth into ... well not just yet ... but I just knew it was time for me to get back on my bicycle ...
The whole reason behind me starting my blog almost 5 years ago was a) to share my creativity and crafts and b) to keep you all informed of what we're getting up to SA side...with the main emphasis being to let friends and family know what we're doing ...
As you have seen I have been fulfilling part A a bit these last 3 months quite easily by posting the things I'm crafting ...BUT part B is slightly harder obviously due to the circumstances SON-shine and I find ourselves in ... so lets see if I can rectify some of that :
SON-shine is as ever the SUN shine of my live and even more so now my reason for living ... he has taken the 'news' as I imagine all teenagers take bad news .... a shift in the bad attitude and even louder music in his ears ... sadly having to say the taste in music has changed a lot ... some very deep heavy stuff pounding into his earlobes .... If and when I am able to get him to open up ... lots of aggro... he's very angry that his plans for his future have been ripped out from under him ... and he's also very disappointed that he won't get that 'TEEN-PAD' he was promised in the 'Dream House' .... because honestly I can't answer his questions about our 'Dream House'.... he gets angry because I can't tell him what either of our future holds .... all I can tell him is that I love him and I will endeavour to do the very best that I can for him ... and I do believe he understands that .... and generally day to day he is his usual self ...
A huge saving grace for both of us is that he is in full rugby training at the moment and he is training incredibly hard and comes home exhausted most days ....
He did incredibly well academically this term with a merit certificate for EGD (Engineering Graphic Design) which is an awesome achievement as he has never done anything like this before and his teacher is over the moon with his dedication to that subject ...although 1 bad result was his Afrikaans ... he failed this term so now there is a strong possibility that he will have to do extra Afrikaans next term as he has to pass the 3 main subject of Maths, English and Afrikaans to pass the year !!!! He has promised me that he will work harder in Afrikaans and I find it quite bizarre as he ended Afrikaans on 61% last year ???? Very strange ... however I am wondering if the gorgeous Afrikaans teacher has anything to do with it LOL !!!! One can't really think straight when one in besotted !!!
He is doing so well in all his other subjects too his maths and sciences were also very good... So all in all I am very proud of him ...
He got some money from Aunty June at Christmas and with that and his own cash he bought himself a 'Longboard' and then convinced his BFF Heini to also get one ... and now on weekends I hardly see him ... H lives across the road from our complex ... well directly across the road is a school and H lives on the other side of the school ... so the 2 boys spend any free time they have skating through the school between our house and theirs ... enjoying the freedom and the awesome weather we have been having ... and both myself and Lynette are thrilled that our boys are not plonked in front of the TV /computers/ game stations all day ... and skateboarding tones muscles etc too !!!!
It's all about looking good with these boys... and my SON-shine is looking really good ....
On my side thankfully work has been hectically crazy so I'm kept busy there and come home way to exhausted to worry about much else other than sleep ....
We are both on holiday for this week ... and it is very strange not to have a holiday filled with things to do, places to go and people to see...
Easter weekend has been very peaceful ... Friday we spent with Lawrence, Penny & Family and yesterday was our traditional Easter Sunday with June and the GANG .... spoilt rotten as usual by June with a crazy Easter Egg hunt, lots and lots and lots of food... lots and lots and lots of laughter and fun with the bestest ever friends in the whole wide world ... I feel so BLESSED.
