Not Sure what the end result was but I think it’s safe to say that he will be hiding his face the next time he sees them.
I wonder if the person who painted this passed….
Car pool anyone?
Happy Friday all!
P.S. I have no idea who to credit for these images. Here’s to you – Whoever you may be!
I received this from a friend. I’m not sure who to credit for this. So, whoever you are – Cheers to you!
Answers given by second year school children to the following questions:
Why did God make mothers?
1. She’s the only one who knows where the selotape is.
2. Mostly to clean the house.
3. To help us out of there when we were getting born..
1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
3. God made my mum just the same like he made me.
He just used bigger parts.
1. We’re related.
2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people’s mum like me.
1. My mum has always been my mum and none of that other stuff.
2. I don’t know because I wasn’t there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.
3. They say she used to be nice.
1. His last name.
2. She had to know his background.
Like is he a crook?
Does he get drunk on beer?
3. Does he make at least one million a year?
Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?
1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my mum eats a lot.
2. She got too old to do anything else with him.
3. My grandma says that mum didn’t have her thinking cap on.
1. Mum doesn’t want to be boss, but she has to because dad’s such an idiot.
2. Mum.
You can tell by room inspection.
She sees the stuff under the bed.
3. I guess mum is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.
1. Mums work at work and work at home and dads just go to work at work.
2. Mums know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.
3. Dads are taller and stronger, but mums have all the real power ’cause that’s who you have to ask if you want to sleep over at your friends.
4. Mums have magic, they make you feel better without medicine.
1. Mothers don’t do spare time.
2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.
1. On the inside she’s already perfect.
Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.
2. Diet.
You know, her hair. I’d diet, maybe blue.
1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean.
I’d get rid of that.
2. I’d make my mum smarter.
Then she would know it was my sister who did it not me.
3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.
PRICELESS!!!
Spirited Mama
I just need to vent a bit.
I have been trying to catch up with work/family/blogging/readers/life/flu….
Last week Monday, we got back from Cape Town. <Thank you for the awesome weather. We were overdressed. I kid you not>
I get to work on Tuesday, and just like that, that sniffly cold that I had before we left turned green and ugly. FAST!
On Wednesday, I go to the doctor’s rooms to try to sneak in early. But there were probably 50 people there, who all seemed to have something very contagious. I backed out and asked the friendly receptionist to give me call when it’s safe to return.
Oh, did I mention that the Dudie also showed symptoms of a cold. Well we got to see the doctor at 6pm that evening! I wa son my way to flu and Dudie was still on the “cold” front. We happily take our meds and take the rest of the week off….
On Thursday, Dudie made a miraculous recovery and every time I gave him his meds he seemed to get energised??? WTF! When I took my meds I became more and more drowsy! On Thursday, my Dude got a speech from hell, not sure what it was about but I blame my dementia on the flu meds… Dude proceeded to suggest that I take the Dudie to school half day on Friday.
<I had other plans>
I am not Stay at Home Mom (SAHM)material. I shit you not! I could be a SAHM everyday! The Dude and Dudie enjoy the fact that when I am home for a day they get spoilt with home made goodies etc. But Reality check boys – If I were a SAHM – you will NOT get those treats everyday! The novelty will wear off so quickly you’ll be begging me to go back to work! I need to work – for my own sanity. I enjoy working and I do love financial freedom! I sit on the edge of my seat monthly waiting for my sms that my salary has been paid!
On Friday morning, I drag myself out of bed. Bear in my Dudie came to lie in my bed from 7am until 8:30ish. I take him to school, return home and drop on the bed. I woke at 3pm with boots and all under the covers…
Dude had to work this weekend. So, Dudie and I got to sleep a lit later than usual, 9:15, on Saturday. By the time we got to the market, which is across the road from our house, it was 10am and they had packed up. Dudie was pissed cos he didn’t get his Saturday pancakes. So we only fed the ducks, geese & turkeys and left.
We went to Woolies and got pancakes, yoghurt, sparberry cooldrinks, cocktail sausage rolls and sweets and we had a picnic in the parking lot. BLISS!
We got home 20mins before Dude. I put the leftovers in the kitchen for Dude. The helper was there to do her weekly thing and Dudie & I proceeded to go and have a siesta. We were sick remember. So were need to rest. It’s Wednesday, and I’m still sick. This is going on 2 weeks now. How long will this take???
This Mama needs a break!
P.S. I’m an emotional wreck when I’m sick. More like a ticking time bomb. As a mom, when do we get a sick day? Just a fckin day to be sick? Why do we always need to be the go to person?
Last nite at 9:45pm, whilst my Dude & Dudie had been in sleep heaven for over an hour already, I was still folding the washing/making fish cakes – that can just be fried today/cleaning the dishes/packing lunch/loading the machine with more washing/picking up papers/cleaning the bird cage/telling the dogs to shut the fck up/eating frozen strawberries & bananas/having tea/etc
I was wondering what other moms do to balance their lives and daily tasks…. My body needs 5-6 hours sleep to function. I can run on 1-2 hours but that’s not a pretty sight so let’s not even go there. I don’t do interruptions well either! How do you balance life/family/work/marriage? Somethings gotta give and currently my Dude is taking strain. He aint getting my attention. By the time I was done last night, it was well after 11 and I slumped on the couch to watch a really bad movie on DSTV and just sip my tea and enjoy the peace and quiet!
Enough of my rambling…. I need to take a road trip! I’m already looking at possibilities. Also this will be just in time for our annual increase…
I have no desired career path for my son. I want him to be whatever he wants to be…
<It’s very weird how parents live out their dreams through their kids. What about that kid’s lie/choices? >
Dear Parent:
YOU had your chance, now back off!
Sincerely
Your loving child
All I know is that my Dude & I agree that we want to expose the Dudie to everything we possibly can. From musical instruments to cooking utensils. From Spaceships and aeroplanes to cars and bikes. And I can go on about this forever but basically we decided “Unlimited Exposure” for the Dudie. And hopefully somewhere along the line he’ll find his passion!
Your Life! Your Choices!
On a different note:
We’re off to Cape Town for the weekend! We’ll be soaking up some sea breezes and mountain air. Eating seafood at Mariner’s Wharf, this is non-negotiable on every trip J And taking in babies galore. *Weather.SA* says that it’s going to be sunny skies in Cape Town this weekend. It’s going to be cold; I think the max temp is 14 degrees. Yikes! But there’s no rain forecasted. I’m crossing thumbs and toes… We’ll be creating memories
Happy Friday Folks!
Do you believe in fate/destiny? Are you more the “factual” type. Or you don’t believe anything if you can’t see/touch it?
Do you know how hard it is to see the silver lining/positive in any and every situation ALL the time? <This is my greatest challenge as I naturally worry about EVERYTHING! But I’m trying and it’s been a few weeks now. I can honestly say that I feel better. We live better. We seem happier in general….>
My child has brought out some childlike qualities in me, again. And I’m loving it! He reminds me to just live… Just be happy.
Enjoy the moment! Create the memories….
My hope is that when I cease to exist, my child will remember our moments together….
And with that I leave you with this quote I found on P.Int.erest.
P.S. I have no idea who to credit for this, and I’m not in the mood to do a detailed search… So if this was yours – Cheers to you!
I have decided that there will be no list for this week. I have a THEME instead!
“CELEBRATE”
I’m going to deliberately find something to celebrate daily! Fingers crossed that I can pull this off.
In case you missed it, this is what I done for this week until now:
Monday: Played with Balloons and party hats. We even had supper with our hats on. A celebration! Everyday should be celebrated.
Tuesday: Bought a Spirited Package for my Dude. (Kitkat, Samoosas, Stoney – all stuff that he likes and dropped it off at his workplace this morning.)
<I was stuck in traffic and by the sound of it my Dude needed some cheering up at work! It made my heart leap for joy that I can give him some happy for the day(No there’s nothing wrong with that sentence. I wanted to give him happy)
Let me get some work done. I’m snowed under at the moment but I just couldn’t focus as I just needed to update my blog. Hehehehe. Let me focus…..
P.S. As we speak, my Dude is going to book tickets to Cape Town!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For this weekend!
Ok let’s update my weekly bucket list. This was last weeks list, and although I got off to a good start; “Life happened when I was making other plans”. But I think I managed…
1. Make cup-a-cake (Do you know that you can make a single serving in a coffee mug and add custard/ice-cream/whatever you want to it?) Done with custard! Delicious!
2. Share Breakfast with Dude (Maybe I’ll surprise him at work?) This didn’t materialise last week, although I made him breakfast foods on Saturday afternoon. Does that count?
3. Have a good Cuddle with Dudie Done – Friday night , Saturday & Sunday
4. Dance Done – Read all about it here
5. Share a bath with Dudie…(We haven’t done this in a while) Done. But On Monday, 4 June with Party hats and balloons – that’s how we roll.
6. Eat Ice-cream infront of the fireplace (it’s getting cold now so it’s time for fireplaces to be lit…) Done. Dude bought avalanches from KFC on Friday and we sat at the fireplace enjoying yummy ice-cream. This is what we had:
7. Print “Dad & Son” photo for his Father’s Day frame (I bought the frame in January already!) Done. Saturday. Last night I put the picture in the frame – WOW! It looks stunning. I wanted to give it to him this morning. I’ll probably give him his Father’s day gifts soon. I’m too excited to wait!
8. Attempt some craft project (I have a rough idea of what I want to do) Done, I surprised myself! I stole borrowed the idea from Marcia’s post at 1, 2, 3, blog It’s not that I don not like white backgrounds, I just feel that there’s so much colour in the world, Why not use it? What do you think???
9. Read/Read/Read (This weekend I got such great books for the Dudie. I love how he loves books! Just like me) – Work in progress. Currently reading 
Very interesting. I’m savouring this one! Loving it!
10. Camp out in Dudie’s room (Tent/sleeping bags, etc) Somewhat done. We “camped” in sleeping bags in the lounge on Friday but moved to the beds as it’s just too cold. And I need to hire a leprechaun to keep the fire going whilst we sleep.
So whilst I think about what my list is for this week, I have already done the following:
Monday: Played with Balloons and party hats. We even had supper with our hats on. A celebration! Everyday should be celebrated.
Tuesday: Bought a Spirited Package for my Dude. (Kitkat, Samoosas, Stoney – all stuff that he likes and dropped it off at his workplace this morning.)
<I was stuck in traffic and by the sound of it my Dude needed some cheering up at work! It made my heart leap for joy that I can give him some happy for the day(No there’s nothing wrong with that sentence. I wanted to give him happy)
That’s all folks!
Mine’s always blue. <Sometimes I just need to look a little harder to find it J>
I am the first-born of my parents and their only daughter too. I can totally see why my mother wanted to give me a girly girl room, with pink and frilly things. This did not go down well. I was not into pink! I loved still love BLUE! All shades of blue.
Here’s a few of my Blue Habits Obsessions:
1. Blue smarties – I believe they taste better
2. Blue fizzers – see point 1
3. Sweet/confectionery addiction
4. Candy floss – you guessed it – blue
5. Steri stumpie– bubblegum flavor
6. Bubblegum ice-cream
7. Blue jeans – x pairs stone washed, faded,
8. Opalt birth stone – blue
9. Blue lunch bag – coincidental as Dude gave it to me –
10. Storage bowls – all have blue lids
11. My son looks adorable in all shades of blue
12. Check my blog colour? Need I say more?
13. I heart the Smurfs – Do you think I can have a 29yr old Smurf Party?
14. Blue Pen holder
15. Blue eyeshadow I’ve never worn it but I bought it cos it was 3 pretty shades of blue
I’m sure most of you know the saying about “Monday Blues”? Well Blue makes me happy and it gives me that warm fuzzy feeling…. Happy Weekend!!!!
P.S. I also heart Black wine gums – they just taste better
P.P.S Not that I’m a bit older and I have a son that I can shower with all things BLUE, I’m a bit easier around pink things. I even have 2 different T-Shirts in pink!
What the F@Ck do I do with 15kg’s Blou Wildebees Sausage????
My Dude bought 15kg’s. Luckily he decided not to get the 60kg’s that were on offer. Yes 60 kg’s!!!! Should I give him a seriously sign? Hehehehe
He’s reasoning we can make lots of meals. Do you know that my 2yr old and I hardly eat red meat?
So if you have any ideas for me, please feel free to comment. Otherwise, he’ll eat worsrolls until that sausage is done….
I come up with these thought….
I could use an Island holiday, with a funky cocktail.
P.S. I like the umbrella drinks….
