I woke up bright and early as usual. The sun was shining and it just looked like a beautiful day, although it was due to rain too. I received a message from one of my sisters with the words from the song “This is the day that the Lord has made.” This really made me smile. I knew it would be a good day. A start of something new and definitely great. As its Friday Nae-Nae comes with us on the school run as I usually work from home that day or I’m local so it’s the only day I…

It was a beautiful morning. The sun was shining and we were all on good form. It was my last day travelling to my office and the day of my leaving lunch. JJ also had a consultation meeting with teachers today so I reminded him not to stress about it but enjoy it. He started frantically looking for the letter to find out if it stated the room he needed to go to. It had been misplaced or shall I say someone had moved it to a place from a place where in my view it should have been left…

Firstly I would like to say Happy Birthday to a special person who was one of the people who encouraged me to start writing these blogs and take them to the level they are at now. If you are reading this, you know who you are! Thank you for your encouragement. I hope you had a great day! We all need certain people in our lives for different reasons and I’m thankful to God for sending such people to help me. It’s midweek already wow this week is flying! I’m not sad about that though because I’m exhausted. I was…

As the birds sang I woke up this morning ready for another day. It was going to be a long one as I had work, netball tournament, work, a meeting then a church session. On the go until about 10pm… Nae-Nae came to my room and got into bed with me. She asked for a hug and a kiss. I don’t usually ask why she wanted that but I did today because I knew why really and wanted to see what she would say. She replied because “I love you.” Ok so this was in relation to yesterday as well…

It’s just another manic Monday. The working week is here again. Yay… I was up early. Nae-Nae wanted to do some more homework tasks so she was up at the crack of dawn too. We got ready for work and school and out the door by 8. I had to drop JJ and be back home to meet a colleague who was giving me a lift to the meeting. It was my last scheduled team meeting for the service I was covering for this month and I said farewell to my old team last month. To say farewell, I took…

Happy Super Sunday! MrJK and I had a bit of a ‘relaxing’ time in bed in this morning. Neither of us were in a rush to get out of bed so we both stayed there until at least 7.30am which is really rare for us. Everyone picked out their clothes for church, all vaguely matching of course and I ironed them. It was a blue and grey day. We don’t always do it on purpose but it’s just that we are all pretty in tune with each other it just works out that way. We all got ready, JJ put…

Today I decided I needed to chill and lay in bed for as long as possible. MrJK was up and out around 6.30am to do the food shopping. He likes going early in the morning as he states that the fresh items are put out then. As he left I rolled back over with the intention of shutting my eyes for a bit but then entered Nae-Nae asking for soft boiled eggs. I reminded her that today was Saturday not Sunday and I usually make it on Sunday. I was trying to make her inflexible just because I was lazy….

It’s Friday, I’m happy happy!! This is the day I usually take Nae-Nae to school with us in the car. I have to get the work home life balance right and make sure I get to take both children to school at least once a week. As Nae-Nae still needs to open the gate with the caretaker we have to leave the house earlier than usual so I have enough time to pick up JJ’s friend, drop the boys across town and get back to Nae-Nae’s school in good time. Fridays are clearer on the road so it’s a better…

Payday and day off Thursday yay! This is a day when I have time off work to do whatever I choose. I had gym and shopping on the agenda followed by watching Nae-Nae at her netball match. After the school run I got to the gym just in time for body combat. I tell you this was made for me. All those years of pretending to be the karate kid could be put to use with dance music. The instructor took it to town today and at one point I thought I was at the carnival jumping up to the…

Aww my little cherub wasn’t a happy bunny this morning. Although she didn’t mind the visit she has to go to she hated that she was missing school, even if it was only an hour and a half. On the way there she cried so I had to bring out the inappropriate humour. I can hear you all shaking your heads in despair but trust me she found these jokes online and they are so bad yet so funny to her and whatever mood she’s in if she hears these with an American accent she will laugh and laugh and…
