Ok, so I haven’t blogged in a while…. I’ve missed it.
I was stuck in Bloemfontein for an extra night as the flight that I was booked on was cancelled…..3 weeks ago! The travel agent did not see that the airline re-validated my ticket to get me booked on the earlier flight! So I spent another night away from home but I did make up for it when I got home on Friday 🙂 I went home from the airport got the car and went to collect Dudie. As I walked in he was just dozing off for after lunch nap. Boy oh boy the look on my child’s face was priceless.
(He did ask me on Thursday evening, when I called to say I’m NOT coming home, if I could fetch him from school. I said I would try my best.) He immediately requested an afternoon swim and a movie :-). We played some cricket, badminton, had a swim(it was excruciatingly hot), we sang along to a song book, and we cuddled and watched “Happy Feet2” on my bed. Needless to say when he Dude came home at 4pm we were both asleep 🙂 I missed my boys. I think the “time-out” did us good as a family, if you know what I mean.
Apart from all the drama happening right now, we’re off to my brother’s wedding next Friday. (My baby bother is getting married) So tickets to Cape Town are booked. Car is on standby at the Rental company. And now we hope for the best because coincidentally it is the Argus Cycle Tour weekend too.
I chose a word for 2013 – Accept
THis year is just kicking into gear and already it has been very challenging. I’m trying to “Accept” the things I can not change. And to live my life for me, and my family.
So on that note, I say cheers to 2013! I’ve been hearing and reading the same type of message, not the exact same phrase but it comes down to the same message, over and over that “Many things in life we can’t control BUT we can choose to be HAPPY!!!!!
Happy Friday

I totally understand when you say that time away does the family good. I am yet to have that happen, but I can imagine how good that feels.
Good to know youre going strong. 🙂

I have “time-outs” becausevof my job but i do intend on having more frequent leisure breaks 🙂 a happy mom = a happy family…. It’s true, I’m sure Dude and Dudie will agree.
Give yourself a time-out. You deserve it!
