Life | We eat, we play, we eat!

Just a pop in and out before we head off on our two week African Safari with Jacques' Family.
The Boys are over the moon and suer excited.
We are braving an African winter and rooftop tenting all the way from Johannesburg, South Africa through the Kalahari up to Vic Falls, Zimbabwe, about 2000kms in two weeks!!!
We will also be driving through the Makgadikgadi Pans in Botswana.
Really looking forward to Baines Baobab.

Life | Another one of those Days

Linking up with Mel from Needle and Nest today for Monday Mamologues...

So this morning I woke up ready to SLAMDUNK anyone and anything!
(Yep I do think it was the fact that I miss my time with God this morning)
After Lijie spent THIRTY minutes brushing his teeth and still not being finished.
I shouted at him and just went crazy on the poor child...

I think it was horrible for him as it was for me.
I hate scolding them and I hate getting angry.
It just ruins those moments we should be ENJOYING!

So after I climbed out the shower and tied my hair in a snazzy little bun, I stuck a faux flower in my hair and told myself I'm going to claim this day for happiness; anger, frustration and mental exhaustion step ASIDE!

I sat that Little Bump on my lap and we had a good cuddle and hug session.
Told that I should be more patient with him.
(The little guy has memory loss, seriously, he is a "dreamer").
He forgets everyday things and that makes tasks really hard for him.

After hugs and kisses I announced that it was going to be a play day today, because mommy is really hormonal irritable, and the conversation went slightly like this...

Josh: Ohhhhhh I know! Its because of your boobies right????!!!!
Me: ummmmmmm....well kind off. I just want you two to have fun today and Mommy doesn't want to ruin it for you.
Josh: Ohhhhhhhh, I understand Mommy.
Liji: And... and... and Mommy when you shouted at me in the bathroom, all I could think was "I just wanted to have a nice day today"
Me, slightly paling: Ahh Babies, I am so sorry! Lets have fun!

So we called in sick, ha, and now I can hear them bouncing HAPPILY on the trampoline and I can sip my warm milk and honey and hit the PUBLISH button.

I think I'm going to get that sewing machine out...
