Back safely in Durbs & a really enjoyable trip but I feel so blah, theres too much traffic, the shops are too busy, the phone keeps ringing, the office is full of work !! Just don't seem to have the get up & go that I normally do.
I actually read other single parent blogs & think wow they just get it done & on their own & I just don't want to really do anything.......
Maybe its just this time of the year when everything starts becoming crazy and I still have a fair amount of Christmas shopping & making to do yet.
So its Friday & hope the weekend is spent getting my mojo back.
Happy bonfire night to all & have fun.

Oops pics fom last post
Married for 40 years wow !!!
Early morning sharing champagne & fun.
An oscar (made of chocolate) Ta da11 October 2010 Ideas on scrap & chat needed
Today is my sister Cathie's birthday, she's a wonderful, caring & loving person & fabulous big sister (my only sister but I have special sister in laws too.)
Yesterday Cathie & her husband Bruce celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary Ruby I believe - wow what a fantastic milestone, we spent the weekend with them & it was just so special. They bought us tea & rusks in bed just because !!!! We had dinner out on Friday to celebrate the anniversary & birthday as we were off to an Emmaus service on Saturday evening followed by a moonlight picnic. During the service we had a typical highveld storm, lots of dramatic lightening, thunder & rain, which stopped just in time for us to picnic - there was lots of laughs & fun.
We drove home with heavy hearts on Sunday wishing we could spend more time with them but glad to have been blessed with what we had.
My DD is thinking of opening a scrap & chat area in one of her shops - any ideas anyone please !!!

Sat 25 September 2010
Its amazing that Sept is nearly over, for me anyway.
DH is on an Emmaus Walk with our church, he left on Thursday afternoon, minus his trusty mobile phone & watch (both of which I am in charge of) not sure how he is going to cope without either. Just hope he is enjoying it.
Friday was a public holiday & I scrapped all day with friends, while their hubbies went to cricket, it was a win win all round. We had such fun & I am reminded how social scrapping is for me anyway.
I was on duty for the laundries this weekend & had the A team working - its just such a pleasure & things went smoothly. I also manged to bake biscuits (lots & lots) for our church Kairos mission. DS & friend came to visit just at the right time (i swear he smells the baking !!) and they had to test , you can imagine I am a couple of dozen short !!!

Working this morning
Yip I am at school to help out, I love the staff & children but being in the office by 7am noooo am so over that. I used to start at 6.30am ..... yip & loved it.
Now I go into my "home" office at 7.30 or 8am depending on my work load & enjoy it.
Tomorrow is Thursday which means scrapping morning & I have to bring tea ? what to do - muffins or cupcakes ?
So grateful lately about being "me" and all my family, home & life right now & the fact that I am able to deal with most of my situations with God's help & come through them stronger.

Life never stands still...
Life never stands still..... DS & girlfriend drove down from Joburg arriving at midnight (oh to be that young again LOL) up at 5am to go fishing, we went to a church breakfast at 7am and then off to shop. Our fridge was empty & the crust of bread mouldy so it was time to stock up.
Then it was a Haven meeting followed by a normal Mothwa meeting.
Tonight its a 21st !!!
Whew lets hope we can sleep in tomorrow at least & that the fishermen creep out at 5am no noise - well we can hope.
The best news is my boss (who loves me LOL) has agreed that Thursday mornings can be my scrapping morning at my local scrap book shop - Ta Da. I will be joined by 3 other friends so am looking forward to it.
