A little while ago I posted about money being tight. This past month it has only gotten worse! Our electricity suddenly DOUBLED! From R250.00 a month to R500.00! The only explanation we could find is that we bought an eleven fin oil heater for Babyice’s room to keep it warm since it gets terribly cold [...]
I have been failing at gym for almost 3 weeks. First I was sick, then Babyice was sick and then we were lazy. I went to yoga the week before last, feeling that I *need* to start going again and we committed to starting again this week. We went on Monday and I managed 33 [...]

Bah. I hate winter. I’m not fond of the cold and get cold rather easily, which isn’t great. I have, however, a new reason to loathe the season (ha ha). Sick babies! GAH! Babyice is not doing well. He slept in our bed on Sunday and Monday nights. He just wouldn’t sleep in his room, [...]
I’ve been a terrible blogger. What’s even more terrible is that each blog post starts with an excuse about how long it has been since the last blog post.
