Stress and distress!

Going to hospital with a sick child is not fun... in fact I think that someone needs to design a hospital with double beds for parents & sick children along with king sized beds for the maternity ward so dad's & the rest of the family can sleep over! I am still tired

My life..

Wow, Valentines day is over and so is the weekend.. bring on Friday!! We have tickets to U2 and cannot wait!!

Fish Hoek Primary school continues to amaze me - they learn't shapes last week and we had to take lunch in different shapes - ie. triangle day was melrose cheese & triangle sandwiches! This week they are doing colours (today they had to dress in YELLOW) - yesterday was RED INDIAN DAY (for valentines). They had a to paint the t-pee and make dream catchers! My eldest son now wants to have a Red Indian Party.. (watch this space!)

Saturday I had a Himalaya product party - such a fantastic range of products from health care (different vitamins, honey with herbs/spices in etc), baby care (bum creams, powders, shampoo's etc) to personal care (hair washes, toothpaste, face washes/scrubs/creams etc). The response has been great, the product is greater and VERY reasonable! I LOVE their face washes/ scrubs, foot cream & lip ice.

There seems to be a viral bug doing the rounds in Fish Hoek, friends of mines kids & my own kids have had it. This afternoon I sat in complete silence and peace while all 3 boys slept!! It always amazes me how much you can get done without kids getting inbetween!! This bug needs to get done with, as we have a U2 concert to attend ;-)

Why?!

My almost three year old is busy potty training.. daily we have accidents which are rather disgusting.. why me I think?! On a POSITIVE note I am glad that I am here to help him. Life sure is colourful when you have kids!

I am also battling at the moment with TESTOSTERONE - there is definately way to much of it in our house! Both my boys wake up fighting..and I thought I was going to have two friends!! They get on well but after a while a power struggle develops. After chatting to my brother-in-law, I realised that we are not alone, all boys need to "mark" their territory!! I hear my boys arguing & inevitably one will say to the other.. "I am going to tell my mom on you", I always end up having a silent laugh - they have the same parents!!

As parents we have a big responsibility to our kids to bring them up in this world to be able to stand on their own two feet and not be swayed.. not something anyone should / can take lightly. To all those parents out their PRAY for your children and for yourself that God gives you the wisdom, words & friends to help you along your journey as a parent.

Hot summer days..

My boys have been so enjoying home-made ice lollies.. today we are trying frozen coke.. will see how those go down! There favourites are frozen yoghurt & milkshakes!

I am so grateful that we live in Fish Hoek and have this lovely breeze blowing!!

Today we have my cousin's daughters birthday - 11 tomorrow! Looking forward to tea & cake this avies. Yesterday we celebrated my friend's sons birthday - SPUR birthdays.. we were soo impressed with the SPUR cups & sweets ;-)
