I know I haven't written anything deep and meaningful in ages and I do have a few things brewing in my head. They will have to brew a while longer as I am a busy little bee as per usual. So here is a quickie...
This morning we went to the hospital and gave out 22 bags. It was so busy I had to shoot home to get more bags. I had a 16 year old mom with a bunch of flowers next to her bed... the first time I have seen that. When I asked who they were from, she said her 'outjie' which basically means her young man or boyfriend. Hard to translate but it is a sweet term for one's male sweetheart. It gave me hope that maybe they will stay together and he will be supportive of his beautiful son and his very young mommy. Later we visited a FOURTEEN year old girl in labour. A child really which just breaks our hearts of course. Its just crazy to see the poverty and heartache and teen pregnancies and then deal with the otherside of the spectrum of infertility and desperately wanting women. It doesn't make me doubt Him but it does remind me His ways are not our ways. Anyway, I will always ponder that so onto the next thing...
My surf was awesome! I remember now why I love it so much. The water wasn't so freezing and the waves were smallish but reformed beautifully to give us plenty glassy green waves. I was like my friend Colleen after a long break from tennis... great. We used to play plenty but then she moved on to some airy fairy dancing called Nia. When we hadn't played for ages I would suck and she would be brilliant, well, good then. I hadn't surfed for ages and thought I would suck but I didn't, I was fab! I had loads of great rides and even did some cutbacks. Today I have achey arms but I am very happy and remotivated.
Woolies sale excitement has died down now. I got most of the things I wanted including some teenage style panties I like to wear. My mother only ever buyed flesh coloured cotton broeks so I now buy cute and funky styled panties marketed at the age 13 to 21 age group. The next step in the sale is next week when everything is further reduced and we go back again. Read my sister's post about the sale, very funny! For those who have a strong aversion to bad language, be warned and know that the language in that post is no reflection of the gene pool we share.
American swap is on and Krissy has arrived from Dallas and my sweet BF Tiffany leaves on Monday after a 3 month visit. We will miss her lots and we are off to her farewell tonight to wish her bon voyage. Krissy is here for 6 months and we are very thrilled to have her back, Rebeka especially! We only have her staying here for 4 days and the poor girl doesn't have a moments peace!!
Kids all fine, Fifi has Danni over to play today. Usually Rebeka takes over the entire playdate but fortunately Krissy is distracting her. I love watching them play. They have coloured in, played 'play-food-kitchen,' played horsey and now Sweedles and Noodles are getting a few squeezes. Here is a pic of the 2 blondies playing like angels.
