Car Blues

Ugh tonight I get home and get the three kids in the car and whizz off to the petrol station (gas station) to fill up. Thought about putting supper on before I left but decided against it. Thank goodness.
Get to the pump, fill up, try start the car. NOTHING NADA not even a little growl comes from the engine, its like an Alien ship came down and zapped my car. Wonderful.
So we get my jumper cables out and hook this dude in a bakkie to help start the car. NOPE not having it. So we push it out the way,try phone Martyn, not answering,so I phone Renault. They will send someone out, I dont really have a choice I know its going to cost me, but what do I do, three kids in car, no shoes on (them) cold outside, could walk it but still have my briefcase to carry and Hannah and I cant put the window up. Anyway they send someone, finally Martyn ends his meeting and answers. He arrives 5 minutes after the Technician. He reckons its battery. So he replaces it, car only starts on the second turn so we'll see tomorrow. So my good deed to save time in the morning put me out an hour and half at crucial supper and bedtime.Oy Vey.

What a day

So I have been in training the whole week. Took the morning off on Monday for Luke's sports day. He did well, took part in everything and had fun and thats all that matters in my opinion. Didnt get many photos as my camera doesnt zoom that far unfortunately but here is one of him and his class mates.


Then today was Adams Concert, bless him, he sang like a little Angel, no idea where he gets that from. Got some good video of him, but its too big to put on here or send by email. So after the concert I go to work and literally 40 minutes later I get a call from the school, saying Adam has fallen out of a tree and his collar bone looks suspect. So we collect the poor thing and whip him off to xrays and the doctor and yes its confirmed he has fractured his collar bone (clavicle). So he is in a sling for the next two weeks. Luckily its school holiday break on Friday for a week. So at least then he will be mostly over the first week of pain then.
So here is a pic of Adam with his Dad looking not too bad. Painkillers are wonderful things.

They reckon he will have the sling for two weeks and then be careful for up to 6months before as strong as it was before. Will keep you posted.
Had lots of photos from the weekend but no time so will try and get them up with posts over this weekend.

Friday again geez where does the time go

Well I cannot believe that its Friday again, the days and weeks are just flying by and its freaking me out. So much to do, so little time. My kids are already talking about Christmas and presents. Spring is definitely here, although the mornings are still crisp but the days are warmer and its evident by the way people are dressing. Got a busy weekend, I am hosting a table at Adam's schools annual Ladies Spring Tea. Should be fun, but its a lot of work, thankfully a good friend is helping me out with the prep. Its a great excuse though to get together with friends that I dont see often and have a good natter.
Hannah is babbling away now ten to the dozen, chatter chatter chatter. Not all the words are comprehensible though mainly the ones at the beginning and the end LOL.
So a busy weekend but I hope it doesn't fly past too quickly either.
Have a good one.

Reflections

13 September

So i am sitting here today feeling like i have a hangover. I don't but I feel terrible. Its like my body hasnt caught up with my head or the other way round. Hannah had me up and down last night eventually I realise its because the cat was trying to get in, so decided that to get some action she would wake my daughter who would then wake me. Well it worked. When I finally realised this i had been up three times. Needless to say the cat got it big time when i let her in. So lack of sleep makes me feel really crappy and i desperately need chocolate right now to get me moving. I know its not the answer, but it will help.
So I see the need today to have some quiet time, chances are its not going to happen.
Anyhoo just realised that its almost a year since I posted here, not good. Life has been busy thats for sure.
HOpefully I am back into it, but give me a chance.
