Opposites’ day?

So in times of yore the ladies could be more masculine this day of the leap year and ask their men to marry them!

Thankfully I'm done with that!!!

I just had to blog today, its going to be 4yrs till i could do it again.

Gemma and Cara-Claire went to the carnival last night. Shit they can really party.
The little doll's went on their first carnival ride and boy did they love it!

For a change i didn't have my camera with, but i did get a few little video clips with my cell. So we have the moment!

Leon and I took the day off yesterday, only to work on the house for most of it!
But its worth it.

I'm feeling good thanks.Had a little procedure in the doctors office on Tuesday, nothing hectic but its not comfy. Thankfully its nearly healed up.

Looking forward to a good weekend with kids parties, mother in law and friends.

later my peeps :)

Paper cuts hurt!

I know that most of you don't blog, so i know that you don't understand always the process of it, but its not as simple as sit down and type.
You have to be careful of what you say, how you say it (well i don't always follow those rules :) )
I normally know the heading before i even start. This morning however, i'm sitting here thinking that i have no idea!! NONE about what i feel i want to share!

OH wait,Gemma's going to be 2 in a few weeks. I cant believe how fast she's grown and how even with all the drama in our lives she's turned out such a beautiful young girl.
She's started talking allot more, this last week alone there must have been about 20new words, including AMEN, which makes life difficult sometimes as madam now wants to pray 5 times for supper!!!
Last night we were drawing, and madam asked me, Mom draw barney, so i have a go at Barney, thank God the copy rite ppl don't know about it ;), so i finish, she claps and says mom barney and does all the little happy ppl things in excitement, while I'm chatting to Leon, she colors over barney with an orange crayon, then very sweetly says, mom! BARNEY DUCK! ja ja ja, i know, she's mental like her mother!! ha aha haha

So my dad's specialist appointment is next week. Well see what he has to say.
I'm not worried anymore about it. I feel that what must be will be!

Leon and I are in a much better space. So things are greatly improved at home.Thankfully ;)


Me, I'm once again having a fat day. I hate these. If there was anything i could change about being a woman it would be fat days.

Any way.Hope you're all well.
love
me

Lost for words

So yet another week has stormed past us and we're almost at the end of February!
What the hell!!!

So a little update on my dad and his kidneys. There isn’t much to say. The specialist only needs to see him in March so its not as bad as it was made out to be.
THANKFULLY

Me on the other hand, I’ve been doing well for a change. I'm happier than I’ve been in a very long time. I know that it still means there is stacks of work ahead of me but I’m still happy to do that. I'm getting used to the fact that I should have respect for myself and get it from those around me.
I like it :)

Been behind my camera a lot lately. Did a sports catalogue, oh my sack that was boring. There was about 50 different balls and I just wanted to cry! but at least i can add that to my list of what I’ve done.
I also tried to shot some fancy food dishes, i say tried because it really was my first try and i got a few okish things but nothing WOW. Well my dad says they are but we all know how he likes food! hahahaha

We're STILL busy with the house. We've lifted the carpets in the lounge over the weekend and started to take the glue that holds the under felt off. That is going to take sometime as we don’t need to use a machine but need to do it by hand. AND I’m lazy so haven’t done much since Sunday :) might get stuck in tonight again. BUT it’s going to look lovely. The kitchen not so much lovely just better :)

Gemma's 2nd bday is so to say planned. Still have to by the eats and stuff but this year I’m not going at all mental. As with last year, we’ve set a budget and I’m sticking too it. ( Well that’s what I’m telling Leon!)

Lost for words as my heading? HAVE you ever thought of me like that? I doubt it! But it does happen. Sometimes in life you make your path and along the way others paths cross yours or runs next to yours for a while, often veering off that you think you'll never walk that close again. Sometimes you get surprised. I'm getting surprised by being able to fall in love again. I didn’t think that could happen. I thought, its been years and so much history. yet here i am. Doing what I thought I couldn’t.
Isn’t that just awesome?

Then having more to exhale about.... I don’t like leaving things ugly any were but there were things last year that I had to... I'm not normally like that... I want everyone to like me. Thankfully karma is on my side for 2008 and I’m grateful for that.

Well I’m off to see the wizard.... More like go to work for an hr or so but the wizard just sounds better doesn’t it!

Later my PEEPS!

Old singers.. Not swingers!

Well! Saturday we had a good old jol with Chantelle's lot. It was a party for no reason and we had to dress up as singers. So leon and i went as Sonny and Cher. It was really good fun.

Leon had started to make the kitchen pretty. We're just painting over the LOVELY brown that was on the doors and will do the blue shelving soon too. ( I did help but not lots)

So their is other things once again going on. It seems like sometimes you're just not allowed to breath... Yesterday morning my dad called to let me know that one of his blood test's showed that he is about to suffer Kidney failer. JOY. So his off to see a specialist this week. The only thing is that my dad doesnt listen to doctors. He would rather use his own theories on how he should be cured.

About an hr after that, he called to let me know that his cousin's husband in London, who I'm fond of as i've been there 4 times and each time spent a while there, was found dead at home.

He wasnt a young man, in his 70s already and wasnt healthy either but it was still a shock.

I have so much work a head of me this week. SO not in the mood for it. I'd rather run away and hide. But the work wont leave! No one else would do it anyway.Damn!!!

Lets see what the week brings.... I hope less excitement!

Feb already??

When does the year slow down?
Feels like life doesnt stop... In away thats a good thing, if you stop you gather dust. I'm not about to gather dust!
So I finished up with my photography course, i still have so much to learn but like most ppl you learn by doing. I have to DO a lot still. Look forward to trying new things.

So the couples stuff we're doing is helping now. I'm not such a hard arse towards 'us', but i know that there still has to be a lot of effort put in before we'll be ok. I'm also ok with that :)

The next few weeks are going to be full, with our 'homework', the kitchen and other stuff we want to do, my work on weekends too now, parties, a wedding, the shower!, baptism's and then its Gemma's bday! I cant believe she'll be 2 in a few weeks. Its been a fast year.
We just got her bed yesterday and leon and Gemma are lying there now listening to stories. I've got to change her whole room around and get new stuff to make the bed fit in the room! You'll just have to wait and see what i mean.

Cindy is going for an op tomorrow, well not an op a scop i think, but if they need to fix anything they might just do it then and there. (thankfully they not checking for a BRAIN, otherwise they will have to do a transplant! jajaja COME GET ME CINDY!!! hahahah) will be praying for you babes.

We're going to a party for no reason with Chantelle and Barry as the hosts, on saturday. Looking forward to a bit of a jol.

Liandi and Mark's little boy Sean was born last friday. They are both doing fine I hear.

If you dont hear from me the next few weeks, dont feel unloved, I really have alot to sort out, home and me. So give me a shout and i'll respond! Or try to...
