OOPS - MY BAD

BEFORE WASH AFTER WASH
AFTER WASH
Ok I never liked the slang words "my bad" that my boys use...It means "I am to blame and sorry"
I have grown to like the saying and find it amusing. You see I am notorious for "my bad" situations. I will share a few "my bad" situations with you...........
In the photo's supplied in the blog today are a living memento of what I am capable of. I wanted to wash this shower curtain . Now it is made of many many strings ....... The before photo shows how superb it looks with a tie back. I put it in the washing machine. (it is 4 individual curtains........) They were really very clean but i put 4 separate curtains in the machine and got a birds nest of curtaining out.......................... I had to sit back and laugh and curse myself as I just gave myself lots of extra work................ It took hours to untangle... MY BAD

Woolworths has always been semi affordable... well the other day I needed mascara and was in Woolworths.....I picked 2 mascara's (yes i never only take one....I am known for give me a dozen attitude.) While standing at the make up counter I also saw eyeliner. Nice glitter stuff. I took 2 again. When paying at the till for 2 mascara and 2 eyeliner pencils,I nearly fainted at the price................MY BAD.......

Coming back from Bali a few years ago my luggage was bigger and taller than me ......MY BAD

I single handed tried to make "vetkoek" with 100kg of dough........................MY BAD

I have landed in serious situations with "my bads" but because they come from a good place I am always forgiven... At least I think so....(Just my speeding fines need some tweaking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

These are but a few of my "my bad" situations to let you in on a secret................ I seriously think at times I am totally nuts but every one around me find it amusing, so maybe that is my purpose in life.. I also never hide the "my bads" I tell the world.... Aloma , one of my amazing friends, also taught me to rather say what is going on and not hide it as it will bite you later and by telling nobody can tell their version of the situation...........Takes the "skinner" away.
I enjoy laughing at myself... it lightens. I also believe life is too short to waste time on worries of not an important nature......
I am just blabbing tonight as thoughts are running so fast through my head, of what is my true purpose in life. I know I am a wife and a mother and that will always be my true purpose, but I want to leave a mark in life...........

My sons are truly amazing. They contact me daily even if it is just to ask what I am doing..... In today's times it is so special that they still want to talk to me and share their stories and worries with me. (OK i do know they will not tell ALL, but a mother should not now ALL)
So maybe that is one mark I will leave.................. They can talk to me...I do explode at them for mistakes but they also know to let me rant and calm down and we will find a solution...........
ENOUGH of that.............

Hannes phoned tonight. He is getting our car tomorrow. A Prado. Black with cream interior. He will be very pleased not to do the taxi number any more..........
He is very brave as they drive on the wrong side of the road. I was nearly run over twice (pedestrians DO NOT ave the right of way.) Each tine I was looking for traffic from the other side............... I will carry on the taxi way when i get there until I feel comfortable.. I will also have to do the full driving test to get a Dubai drivers license.

The hospital is also doing well with all the governmental licensing issues and they should be seeing patient form 1 October) Hannes will be so pleased as he is not an admin bunny at all.

I will be going to my Dad end of next week with the boys......This time I now it is the last time I will see him as his cancer is very aggressive...Oh by that will be a tough one to handle. I also will have the boys with me, and they are really coping badly with the news of their "Oupa" I feel so sorry for them to have to go through this at this young age. They are still reeling form Pierre's death (we all are) and now they are confronted with their Oupa dying....

Thank you to all who read my blog.............. Even my son Rossouw phones and says why have I not entered anything on the blog today................

I have to go back to Richards bay next week to stay there until the house sells.............I am really not looking forward to that. It is a beautiful home but I am so scared to be there on my own due to our crime situation in SA.............I refuse to read any newspaper in SA now....
Luckily I have an offer of a very nice young man who will come and house sit with me....he is one of our friends son...Isn't is nice to have friends that still care.
Rambo (my parrot) will be so pleased to have me home again...........

Oh boy I miss Hannes so much....Funny to think we are living on 2 separate continents.....Different time zones................ Both of us believe in giving each other space but this is really pushing it badly....I hate it to miss out on the experiences. Yes I am very inquisitive by nature and want to be part of everything. Hannes always thinks it so funny............he will take a piece of paper (small) and write something on it and tell me not to look......That drives me up the pole......

JC (my eldest son) got a puppy yesterday. Her name is CJ. He says his name is JC ,male, and the puppy is female, so she should be CJ. He always has an animal of some sort......I wonder where he picked up that habit ????????????????? MY BAD

I am bushed. Talk again tomorrow or the day after
