Not much to say today!

Not much to say today folks! Although it is 8.20PM & I am blogging! Yaay! for no afternoon naps!~ Max that is. I know I am a woman of leisure but I never nap in the arvi {although the thought crosses my mind each and every day}.

Moeks is so good these days, no performance, no tantrums, just nitey-nite and silence! It gives me time to get stuff done....like work on L.O's for page calls due this week and early next week. Deep and meaningful stuff I know. Don't start!!!! I just know the peanut gallery is mumbling something inaudible. A woman newly relieved of purpose has to start somewhere you know.... this is my somewhere....

I had a good & busy day...with a page to be in for a competition by 12 am.....I only started the page last night, so it was serious low flyin~ hahahahah! {nothing like a bit of pressure to get me arse into gear}....it had to be in the scrapping style...Shabby Chic. I have never done anything like this before and seriously got into it the more I experimented.

*I got ink all over the place.
*Tore & ripped paper.
*Sanded & distressed stuff.
* Tilted stuff and stuck it skew {biggie for me}
*Sewed everything.
*Stamped in black all messy & over other stuff.

Yeeehhaaaa! I had a blast>>>>>>>

I then had to get 10 L.O's into another Scrapping crowd on-line . They are running a fab! competition at the moment, for a Cricut machine {R4600}~ way out of my budget, so free would be a bonus! They have also asked me to do scrapping classes for them and the L.O's were a gr8 way to showcase what I do. All that had to also be in by 2 PM, so that was most of the day gone. Where was Max you ask??? at James house. We had a play date organised last week already so everything worked out perfectly.

My next project is for Friday, so I better get off my PC and give it some thought andl that's about as profound as it gets I am afraid.

I am going to go now, good night all! I will try and get a bit deeper tomorrow, I promise!

The chill factor!

GREMLINS ATE MY PHOTO'S AGAIN!!!!! blogger are you seeing this? or do you even care?~ Post of this post no. 2 {{please work!}}

****This is the closest we have gotten to snow in CT but it sure is BLERRY KOUD man!!!

{Maxi's creative rendition of a Snow man} He brought it home from school of Friday and proudly announced he had made something: "BEAUTIFUL mama {his fav word} but it is not real snow mama....just play dough"


Hey guys! I know I've been MIA of late... but I in all honesty I have been a bit blogged out and decided to give it a break for a day or two. Now I feel all inspired again to WOW! you with my profoundly intellectual thoughts and opinions about life.........LOL! that's the joke of the decade. It sounded good tho' didn't it??????

It has been raining and hailing buckets this weekend...but the Watson's weren't afraid!!! We ventured out and FUN was had by all for a change. I won't go into a lengthy expose about what we got up to...other than we were not phased by the icey conditions ....hopefully the pictures will tell the story...{mostly for the relatives....I will not be offended if you log off now!}

Fishhoek promenade...jackets to the eyeballs...so warm and toasty>>>>



Angry ocean but beautiful nether-the-less. Really big waves for Fishhoek>>>>>

There were guys surfing off the swimming beach...very unusual, for Fishhoek but it is a result of the hectic weather that has assaulted the peninsular. Walking along the promenade near the place we believe that poor old lady died after being snacked by a great white...left us bothfeeling quite creep'ed out and what makes it worse just beyond that there are surfers looking rather appetizing in black wetties. It is hard not to imagine that it could happen again, anytime soon....if it does, we don't want to be anywhere near that promenade.

The "boy" had a blast on the swings....he had the play area all to himself for a change. Probably because it was raining...hahaha>>>>>>>>




It was Cass's 9th Birthday yesterday. She and a group of friends went iceskating at Grand West...the pics are a bit dark {taken with cell fone} but it will give you a feel for what it was like. Tersh said she is a natural skater and got the hang of being on the ice real quick>>>>>>


Today was officially Maxi's 1st week of "NO NAPPIES"!!! yehaaah! cried the mama. He hasn't needed a nappy for nap times for about 3 weeks now {in other words he wakes up dry} but I was nervous to let try him without, just in case of accidents.
Well it has worked, 'cos he proudly announced that nappies are for babies...and "I am a big boy mama....we can give all those nappies to Aunty Mel for Baby Levi to use!" and that was that. Reward was a ride on the VW @ Constantia Village and a new Big Mac transport truck {another for his collection of characters from the movie Cars}......my baby is all grown up!!!

Well folks I have been blogging for so long tonight there is no time left to work on my scrapbook page that has to be in TOMORROW @ 12! Blast! Means an early start for me in the AM.......hahahah love to see that happen!

Nitey night!
XXXX

Can't chat!

Morning world!

I am feeling fab this morning......a bit hyper but good. I finished my 'Chill' page for CK last night and I must get it through to them this AM, so no chatting...just sending. {Flip, I have still got to photograph it}. Once I am done tho' I must get cracking on my next one....weird to think of Valentines day, now. Got some cool ideas tho' and can't wait to get going. S'ppose I better stop blogging and get cracking!!!

Got confirmation from Jo that we are booked in and going to the scrappingbooking "Do" at Spier, Scrapfinity {C}elebration is what they called it. I am so looking forward to it. Not so much for the "kits" and L,O's they will "teach" us but rather for the big ole' social and I get to put faces to all the names I have been hearing about in the scrapping circles for the last 2 years or so. Only dampner is it is on the 4th Aug and that means Tersh has both kids by himself for the whole day......anyone keen to pitch in and help rescue my darlin' hubbie? {PLEASE!} haha!

Brian....no rolling of the eyes! I know what you are thinking!

Well thats all folks......will check in later hopefully.

Have a good one......

The pic @ the top of the post, is one of T & I the year we met. No we didn't drink all that vino....wine tasting outing...joke of the century tho'....we both hardly drink. Oh, the games of the childless.....{I'll say no more}.

XXX

A moments silence for all the 500 000 Brits with no lights and water due to the floods. Yip, the UK is sounding more like Africa every day. No wonder my folks are feeling right at home. LOL!

Not so bad.

SECOND ATTEMPT AT POSTING THIS POST.....the gremlins ate my photos.

Hello to all out there who read my blog and leave comments....oh and also hi to all out there, who DON'T LEAVE COMMENTS! see there are no hard feelings....not me......sweet liddle ole' me.

LEAVE COMMENTS DAMMIT! (no I am just kidding! I have been dying to do that tho')

It is so nice to see my luverly family leaving comments....it makes all this typing worth it.


In my last post I said I'd keep you posted on the 'G' thang. Well he phoned me in response to my letter, I was expecting fireworx but he was amazingly calm and he explained everything to me. Basically I didn't have all the facts and I flew off the handle prematurely. I felt quite bad 'cos I sort of indirectly said to him that he was being sneaky. Shame he said the last 2 months have been hell for him...that he wished he could take a pill, go to sleep for another 2 months and wake up to find all this had gone away and it was only a dream. Humbling stuff! He basically asked if I felt I could still trust him to do the right thing for us, if not he suggested I should speak to the factors for clarity on his actions. Apparently he can't do anything without reporting first to the factors.

Anyway enuff about that.....my friend Jo said my posts are too long, so I have got to be more focused and quick.

Weekend was OK, with minor trauma having Cass again this weekend. Next weekend she is turning 9 and is having an ice-skating party, so needs to be the "other side" for convenience.


She did get to play a bit with Taylor......her big bud from next door. Geepers, taking the two of them on their bikes and Maxi on his scooter; around the neighborhood, was about as stressful as it comes for me, just trying to keep them alive. Are all 8yr olds completely doff when it comes to riding in the road???? When do they 'grow suss' and learn that those big metals things that race around our neighborhood, can actually kill them if they make contact? Soon I hope otherwise, I am gonna be grey prematurely.

This is a pic of the two of them horsing in the long grass at the end of our street. That was until I mentioned the words: "Aaaaaah! DOG POO!", they went from 0 to100 in less than 2 seconds hahahahaha.....girls are so funny.

These are photo's of a typical Saturday AM in the Watson household. Missy lounging in our bed...and Max harassing Tersh. How not to do sit-ups without breaking the ole' Poep-string!>>>>>





The two of them play so nicely together.....cute pair hey??? Maxi is being stupid as usual. The poor kid is so sick and tired of my camera, he sees it and goes weird on me. Oh well entirely my fault I suppose, you know me go for volume...just in case.

Well time to try and work on some more scrap pages. I have got a ton to finish by next week.

Sleep tite.

Bummed out!

Hi guys! Ever felt really bummed out? Well I am.....right now.

I always knew and expected there might be a measure of "ugliness" between G & I, with Amazon closing but no matter how one prepared ones-self....being in it, is horrible. G is going on with his life financing his new business ventures through Amazon....nothing massive as yet but the fact of the matter is, he is still using our companies resources to get his next "thing" off the ground. I hear too that he had agreed to do basic repeats of a whole bunch of styles for Urban, through Studio 7.
You might think...ya so, whats the big deal?
The big deal is, it doesn't include me. I am only a partner in our x3 businesses but it doesn't include me. So this A.M, I felt compelled to protect my interest and sent him a letter forcing him to commit to a pay-out figure in return for me signing documents releasing my interest in our businesses. I can't believe he had the gall to think I would just sign them over to him and walk away, hat in hand with out so much as a comment. Sad in a way that I trusted him for so many years...10 in fact and now when the poep hits the fan, he couldn't care less about my interest.

Why am I surprised though.....people cornered do dumb stuff, I suppose.

I have an advantage in that I BELIEVE and KNOW that God loves me, cares about me and my well being. I know that even though sometimes I don't feel Him, His Word plainly spells out

that "He will never leave me out in the cold"
that "He always roots for me"
that "He intervenes for me on my behalf".

So in faith I have given this whole situation to my Father and I know that He is onto it. The outcome will be part of His plan, whatever it is.

So watch this space, I will keep you all posted.

^^^Hugs^^^ to you all.

<<<<< style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;">"Sidekick, banished by Maxi, to the
bathroom,for bad behaviour. Hahahahaha!
From the mouth of babes!"

Yehaaaaah!

I am so happy I could

POP!!!!

I got an email from CK this am, from someone called Lisa Ivey. She wants to use my "Snapshots" L.O I did for the Becky Higgins sketch section. This was the page that I got in only just in time for the deadline, so I am doubly thrilled.

Anyway other than that, I don't have much in the way of interesting or profoundly life changing news. My day was ordinary, it went a bit like this:


* woke up rather suddenly at about 7ish with a cute little; "hi mama I'm awake" and
promptly had a finger jammed up my nose, followed by peals of hysterical laughter. So my
morning began....
* breakfast cereal was eaten dry this am, by Maxi who matter-of-factly insisted....
"I like it crunchy,mama!".
* putting clothes on for school was a tough task as usual with commands being barked every 2
seconds. "No, mama not that sweater, I don't like it. I want the one with the red
rocket on it!" , "Not those pants mama, they are cold pants, I want ones with a
belt!", " I only like the brown 'cord-you-roy' shoes mama, they have 'val-crow'
on them". And we thought we'd have it easier with a boy.....NOT!!!
* Maxi went off to school, over the moon at being able to see his little friend again. He even rode
around the paddock on Sparkle {the pony @ school} today without losing his lunch in terror.
His teacher could not believe her eyes.....maybe he is finally coming around on the animal
issue???
* Spent a couple of hours getting my head around the next couple of page submissions for CK,
checking emails and generally giving a convincing performance of looking busy but in actuality
just froo-froo'ed until Poepie finished school.
* Lunch~ didn't happen. Maxi wasn't hungry. Sleep~ didn't happen. Maxi wasn't sleepy.
* Mama became designated playmate for the afternoon. "Come talk the cars, Mama". If
only the little guy how much the mama hated "talking the cars". There are only so many
scenarios I can think up for the cars to have to deal with and only so many voice overs I can
come up with. Aaaarh! cars are boy stuff and I am way out of practice. I did however
persevere for about an hour and that was me done! I couldn't face the thought of being in the
playroom all afternoon, it was enough to send me into depression. So I got Maxi all psyched up
and we did the garden together. Mowed the lawn, raked the leaves, cleaned the pool pump
etc, etc. all in all loads of fun!
* Supper~bath~hair washing.
* PJ's.....marathon exercise chasing Maxi around the room armed with a large wooden spoon,
threatening him mortal harm if he didn't stand "still like a statue", so I could dress him.
Maxi sprinted around shrieking with joy at being able to get his mama so worked up and
ecstatic about getting a chasing game out of the whole exercise too.
* x1 story became x2 stories and in a moment of madness almost became x3 stories. Thankfully
I came to my senses and said ENUFF!!!
* Lights off~ surprisingly enough, not a murmur from the passage.
* Peace and quiet, hence my being able to blog right about now.

Well now that you have had a closer look at my day, you can shake your head and feel sorry for me.....heck! I feel sorry for me. But you know what, as tough as this transition has been, giving up my job, it is actually an answer to YEARS of prayer to get out of the clothing industry. So I must just shut-it and be grateful, don't you think???

Well it is 8.30 and there is silence in the camp, which means T & can get a bit of couch time and watch Hero's on TV3. Yaaay! a bit of sci-fi will go down very well.

Sleep tite guys.

Hidee-Doodie!

Hello folks! How was your weekend?

Mel...howz SWM? hope you are enjoying all the family and getting some R&R?

Our weekend was gr8 actually. Cas begged to say another night, her Mom agreed {through gritted teeth} and we took them to the Spur in Fishhoek for supper. Your eye brows probably hit your hairline right about now but we did it and lived. Yahooo!
They have a kiddies play area, movies and a play station room {grrrrr!} I had a peek inside..violence on every PC screen~not a good idea for anyone under 16, but what do I know?



Sat AM we bought freshly baked croissants, brewed some Kenyan special and kicked back, playing with the kiddie winks until Tersh had to leave. He met BC and dropped Cas off, leaving the rest of the day free for us to potter around at home. We carried on painting picture frames, laughed lots and generally speaking RELAXED! {not bad for us highly-strung Watson's~hey?}


Sunday.......we overslept and were too late to get to church {sorry Jesus...again ;o( }

We did however do something spontaneous and drive to Hermanus for the day, to see our friends, Dirk & Jeanie de Vynk. Moeks slept the whole way there. The first time he has slept in the car in about 8 months. We savored every second of peace in the car, which is very seldom.
It was lovely to see the De Vynks. They have a wonderful new house, Dirk has a fabulous job and they are loving their new Church, run by Nathan & Di Gernetsky. The children played beautifully together, with NO incidences, NO tears, NO fighting....it was heaven.

The big people had lots of uninterrupted adult conversation, calm lunch and even a sedate coffee & koek in front of the fire. Tersh & I feel like we were at a spa for the weekend, such are the positive repercussions of time with friends and VARIETY!
Definitely the spice of life. Thanks guys!

At 5ish we bravely headed back to CT~ we were assaulted by TRAFFIC!! in the truest sense of the word. Everyone it seems decided to head back home at the same time as us, in time for school this morning. NB: they shortened the July holidays to two weeks. Well the trip was fairly easy, as long as I kept the food coming for the imp in the back. Nuts, pretzels, dried fruit, chippies, carrots {half a bag} & juice kept him happy until we got home at 19.15pm. The sunset from the N2 pass was spectacular and I managed to capture it on camera. The beauty of the Cape.......especially in the dark, when you can't see the miles and miles of squatter camp. Have you ever realised that sun sets directly behind Table mountain. Amazing for tourists and bloggers...hell for the drivers of the 1000's of cars backed up above Somerset West, waiting for the robots at the bottom.



Well guys have a blessed and happy day.
I will post again really soon.
Lots of luv

Brave day!

Hello chaps! Hope your day is going OK?

I had an OK one. You will feel very proud of me today....I ventured out to the barn-yard with x3 kiddies......all by myself too! Admittedly I was nervous......all nature of scenarios were racing through my head as I got myself and the crew ready to leave.

I was stressing....believe me!

What do I do with them once I got there?, Will Max perform when I say "No sweets?", what if Max needs to go pee, what do with all the "stuff" I lugged there?", what if, what if what if......?

Heck! I thought, why am I doing this again?

Voice of reason told me to STOP BEING PATHETIC! and get in the car!!

I duly obeyed.

Once there, we all piled out. I had a kid in the left hand {car's in car-park you know!} Snack bag, Camera bag, hand bag and 20 changes of clothing bag all in the right hand. Thankfully Cas & Taylor were hanging onto each other, so I didn't have to worry about them much. We must have looked ridiculous to all the calm, relaxed, latte-sipping Mommy-types, already reclining @ tables at the Barnyard. I purposefully headed to the tables under the shade cloth, far away from any one else.....leaving me lots of runway for drama!

Admittedly it must have taken me at least half an hour to let go of all the bags and attempt to relax on my bench. Cas & Taylor very kindly played with Maxi for most of that time, which was a feat in itself given the "Grump attack" that had descended upon....Lord Fontelroy!
He has developed this weird {has to be hormonal} thing of late, which results in the poor little guy getting real acquainted with the very boring bathroom as punishment. Maxi gets loudly negative and makes his feelings known to whoever will listen, whilst smacking himself in the face {you read right, bit odd I'd say? any ideas about why he is doing this?}

E.G~ "I want nuffingk Mama, no nuts, no juice, no toys, no animals, no nuffink!!!" I want no lunch mama, no sand-witches, no sweets, no snacks....NUFFINK!!".

Heck, it is times like these I do an Almo Fud and say; "........HUH????"


Does he want to eat or doesn't he? One never knows, so cover all bases I say. I opened the snack box, poured juice {didn't know if I was allowed to...didn't see any signs and wasn't asked to leave}. He calmed down immediately.....s'ppose he was just hungry? But my question why he just doesn't tell me so? Geepers! all this drama, just to get at the peanuts and snacks.
Hope for his sake, this doesn't go on for very long because he is at the stage he just sees the "look" on my face and says: " I am going to the bathroom mama!" and {voluntarily too.} Shame I feel for the little guy. It sucks being 3!


Well now that I got horribly sidetracked....


The rest of the outing didn't go too badly. I relaxed enough to order a large mug of black coffee, take a few pic's and push Maxi on the swing {not taking my eyes off our stuff, for a split second}. Actually I am embarrassed to admit that the fear of our stuff getting nicked, got the better of me after a while. So to put my mind at rest I just packed the darn stuff us and left it next to the swing where we were playing.

I felt MUCH better!!! {no comments from the peanut gallery}

Sad hey, that I have gotten this paranoid? Is it just me or does everyone do stuff like this? Is it old age settling in, or a result of working in Woodstock for donkey's years? Is it the result of living in a crime ridden country, where you don't know if a visit to the spar is going to end in disaster?
Pray for me please, 'cos at this rate I won't last with the stress.

Well it has been a treat to post during the the day. Maxi decided to have an afternoon nap for a change. Yay! o-oh! I can hear him. Perfect timing.

Thats all for now, folks.
Chat again tomorrow.

I did it!!!!

Hey to all those scrappers out there who care. I did it! I got x3 page submissions in for Becky's Dec sketch page call. The deadline was today @ 5pm and as usual I left it until the last moment.
I was soooo chuffed with the way last page I sent in turned out. Cleaner looking than my usual busy vibe. I was even more chuffed to see just now that Jana mailed back to say she LOVED! it and had made a recommendation to who-ever makes the final call. So we'll see.....hee-hee, hee-hee!

Hows this funny pic? {not the most flattering} taken at 11.30 pm in the big bed, horsing around with my cell phone {something woke Maxi up, hence him bod in our bed} >>>>>>>

My sadly neglected kids were very understanding today and played nicely together with minimal injury....usually poor Cas, inflicted either by accident or on purpose by the blonde terrorist. Right now they are using up their last bit of energy racing around the house shrieking, with Daddy hot on their heels. As much as I am not inclined to say....I have to admit that the sound of laughter echoing off the walls, is good for the soul.

Well we have a fire roaring in the fireplace.......FLIP!!! our house can get cold. As soon as the kids are down T & are looking forward to watching Hero's {a cool sci-fi on channel3} no laughing now!!!! It is a good thing tho' that we both have the same taste in movies, 'cos the general concensis amongst my friends is that I have very ODD taste. Hey at least this way there is always something in @ the DVD shop for us to watch.

Well lovelies I'm off to tuck the kiddies in.
Keep warm.
Chat tomorrow. xx.

In support of all those bloggers who have been blocked out of their blogs!

Oh my! the fact that I have gotten this far means that maybe I have been spared the frustration, agony and utter irritation of not being able to post on my blog.

I have just had tea with Mel...thanks friend for always having a listening ear to my life long laments about the futility and sheer boredom of life on this planet. While with her I discovered that she along with many other bloggers out there, can't post on their blogs. BUMMER!!!
What one does now I haven't the foggiest 'cos it is free.

I suppose I should test this sucker before I get any further with a potentially novel-long post, only to then lose it. Then I'd be seriously miff!

This is just a cute pic for good measure>>>

We'll soon see if I've been exempt.

Nutty kids!

Hi guys.....how was your weekend?

In case you might be remotely interested, ours wasn't half bad. We did all sorts of "family" stuff and enjoyed it thoroughly Most of our laughs came from our slightly loopy kids. Yesterday we had the neighbours kids over to play. Fun was had by all parties {except maybe little Liam~5yrs old and over a head taller than M}. Maxi is so full of poep when it comes to Liam.....he harasses him, baits him, bosses him around, abuses {in the form of thrown objects} him, chases him, teases him....and poor old Liam can't fight his own battles, so I got......every 2 minutes.

"Maxi's Mom... Maxi is being horrible to me!!!" {I can't get why he can't remember my name}

It is so hard not to yell at the little guy to "GO SORT MAXI OUT, HE IS ONLY 3!" I heard Tersh snigger more than once, overhearing my restrained explanations to Liam about; "how right he was about Maxi's inappropriate behaviour, and that I will have a talk to him".

Mmmmmm evidence of things to come, I think????

Talking about evidence.....Maxi came skipping up to me half naked....sing-songing:

"I need a staaaaaar for maaa star chart, a loverrrly silver staaar for maaa staar chaaart....da-da-dadeeeda!"
The 'trying-to-be-consistant-mama' I am, gushed the appropriate response by applauding loudly and asked which loo he had just used.

"Come see my poo mama", says a very chirpy Max. So was the mama, until I got to the bathroom in question.

Resourceful boy had definitely used the loo successfully but had also had an accident in the undies just before this. So he thought the best way to fix the little accident was to FLUSH!!!!!

....flush everything involved down to the ocean, pants and undies included. The water level in the loo had gone way past the stop mark, due to the foreign blockage and carnage had ensued.

As the responsible Mama, I handled the situation really well I think and yelled HUNNIE! at the top of my voice. That brought Tersh running, sent Maxi into hiding, while I quietly retreated to the safety of my scrap table, while they mopped up. {Not after I got visual evidence tho'}.

After a stern reprimand, trying not to laugh hysterically, things got back to normal and Maxi went in search of poor Liam again.

Today followed close on the loopy heels of yesterday. The minute we saw the weather break and reveal a hint of blue, we piled into the car and headed up to Silvermine for a hike around the dam. It is a great way for the kids to let off steam after being cooped up inside on account of the rain. Maxi took his scooter which Cass {as big as she is} wrestled from him every opportunity she got, to ride on the deck path that circles the water. It was a relaxed time for the big-un's too with many laughs.
Maxi doing his ablutions in a bush set back from the path, was almost too much for Cass to deal with, especially as the peanut gallery with his butt in the Fynbos, kept us updated minute-by-minute of his progress. {Toilet humour again, I know, but we have a boy in our home, need I say more?}
They played and horsed really nicely together even with the 6yr age gap.




We got home, Tersh started his project of repainting all of our millions of picture frames, black. We are on a mission to start our family gallery of B&W pic's. So this is the first step. Yaaaay!
While my sweet husband tinkered I supervised the kids.......

..........................swimming!

You read right. Cas asked, I said yes, she nearly fainted at my response but recovered fast and didn't lose a second in getting her cozzie on. {Max too by the way}. I thought what the heck.....they probably won't make it past their big toes anyway. Ooooh how wrong I was! The contrast of it, was so ludicrous it is almost unbelievable, that they actually got in the water. Inside there was a huge fire in the fireplace and outside it was 13 degrees and FREEZING!!!!

I have physical evidence just in case you don't believe me>>>>>>>>>>




In case you were wondering if Cass has had a recent surge of hormones.....nope just plastic balls. She doesn't let up for a second with her pranks.
She will make her Uncle Brian proud.


The tell-tale scream is a great gauge of just how cold the water actually is. As you can see Maxi is so smitten with his sister, he is right behind her, oblivious to the fact that the water is just 12 degrees.

Devotion in its purest form. Lord help us!!!!



Thankfully they didn't put up much of a protest about getting in a hot bath afterwards. The only condition was however, that they wanted to bath with goggles on. Ok, my kids are weird......but really cute, even if I say so myself.


So all in all a lovely weekend was had by all in the Watson household. Hardly any grumpy faces, not many "to-the-bathroom" occasions, no 8yr old tantrums and lots of fun. A necessity for us with all the insane work deadlines approaching over the next 2 weeks. The phone has been ringing off the hook with new work, God showing off in our lives, I know. We are grateful but nervous just the same. I need to keep my focus on Him over the little while rather than the looming deadlines. So guys, if you see me sliding towards a melt down, please feel free to remind me of the who and how. Ok?

Well I am nakkered, gotta hit the feathers.
Lotsa luv
