Housekeeping
My housekeeper has been working for my family since I was roughly 4 years old. She is a very good worker and often does things you don’t ask her to (i.e. changing your furniture around, repacking/tidying the cupboards). She is part of the family. She even attended my wedding as a guest. She used to [...]
Leave, voting and fitness
Again a long gap between posts, I’ve been on leave and came back to work with a backlog of things to do. Once again we’re “assisting” another portfolio (yes, the same one) because they are in the red again. I honestly hate doing this type of work, but it needs to be done and I’m [...]
Teething?
Last night Babyice went to sleep around 19:00, which is normal. At 20:35 he woke up, started crying and then started SCREAMING. We couldn’t stop him. We tried giving him his dummy, he pushed us away. We tried a bottle, he pushed it away. He screamed and screamed. He was stiffening his body and gurgling [...]
Roxette!
On Friday I won a set of Roxette tickets from KFM. I was quite excited and went to fetch my tickets on Sunday afternoon before the show: It turned out to be quite a mission to get the tickets since I forgot to take my ID with to claim them *facepalm*. We had to drive [...]
Mother’s Day
The majority of this weekend was crap. Thanks go to Lindor ONCE AGAIN. My word I wish that guy would just pick up and move far, far away. I really do not wish him any harm that will do permanent damage, but I do want to be rid of him. Rudi and I spent Friday [...]
Yoga bum
I’m sitting inside the gym, fresh from yoga, blogging. Rudi had to go and fetch the housekeeper at 08:30, so he only just got here. I am waiting for him to finish his workout before we head out for the day. Yoga was great today. Quite different from anything else we’ve done before. Our instructor [...]
Brokeness
I don’t know why on earth I am so broke every month! Every month feels like mid January lately. It makes me happy that we didn’t get the house. If we are struggling now without the bond payments, levies, etc it would have been much worse if we had a bond to pay and renovations [...]
Kirstenbosch and Illness
Sherbet. There has been a big gap between posts again and I hope I remember everything that I wanted to blog about. On Friday night Babyice slept through for the first time in a long time, but continued waking up every night since then. The frantic screaming has subsided and I am not so sure [...]
