You sound just like a stapler..

That is officially the weirdest thing any-one has ever said to me, like ever. Thanks Shane.

So, I'm back at the internet cafe thanks to Hellkom messing with my line at home. I actually get loads more work done here because I'm not thinking about making the beds, drinking tea, putting the washing on blah blah blah.

I have nothing to write about today as my mind is buzzing with all of the things to do on my TO DO list, so I'm just checking in:

MANDY - please email me friend, i'm worried about you, I havent heard from you in ages.
LAURA - I'm so jealous you went to Cuba - you are so cool.

Ok, so that says 'Stormers'. Yes, we braved it and went to watch the Stormers in the Storm. I have NEVER been so drenched in my life, it gave the phrase 'bucketing down' a whole new meaning.

We arrived at the stadium 2 hours early for some Non-Existent Pre Game which Shane insisted we get there early to watch. The parking was manic so Shane dropped us off in Dean Street, which meant we had to run to the stadium in the chucking rain. Well, it was absolutely classic.. Hazel had just had her hair done, so she hogged my whole umbrella to save her hair. Halfway there I decide that I cannot go another step as I'm dying of starvation so we stop to get a boerewors roll. What a mistake - it was only dry for about 3 seconds so I had to eat it mushy and wet - yuk, then the stupid thing insisted on repeating on me for like 3 hours so Hazel wouldnt speak to me because I kept burping up boerewors.

Anyways, we are almost at the gate and I turn around to look for Hazel in the crazy sea of very wet people, and she is standing there in the rain with dripping wet hair and her umbrella blown inside out... No sooner has she fought with the umbrella to get it down, a guy walks past her and whacks her over the head with an umbrella.. ha ha, oh by this stage I was nearing hysteria. We start looking for her hubby, and find him with some hot girls hand in his shorts pocket - "looking for money" to pay for the magazine she has just sold him with her flirty eyes, as he cant possibly get the money out himself as he is carrying too much stuff. What were you carrying Dale? Oh yes, your magazine. Which by the way is still in the boot of my car.

Thank goodness we were undercover, and the game was pretty exciting, although Hazel and I think that these rugby players drink far too much tea while they are playing, and dont pass the ball around enough.

We ran back to the car after the game and went off to Cattle Baron - soaking wet. I had a Chateaubriand steak ( Steak on fire ) which was absolutely delicious, and so worth the calories.

Ok, I gotta go to work, but will try write more later on.

Keep smiling

oh yay! a comment!

i dont know what it is about my blog, but only international people can comment on it, oh and me? so weird.

so, im going to quickly tell you about me and my friend Kat. Me & Kat (or is it Kat & I?) are the same age, and can be so alike - as in we have a similar sense of humour, big hearts, and we are both really messy. But yet we are SO different - as in I have 3 children, oh no, sorry 4 children, and a married set of friends, responsibility and I'm constantly covered in snot or sick. Kat is single, has single friends, no kids - yet, ok - she is very responsible, and she is super organized.

So, we hold regular 'pity party's' in the Mugg n Bean, which constists of us drinking far too many latte's and cafe moccha's, Kat smokes like 2 boxes of cigarettes, and sometimes we even try and work during these pity parties and bash around on our laptops in there - even though it costs like 200 bucks for 4 hours. oh no, actually my internet is always free in there, but Kat's isn't. So weird.

ANYWAYs - last night i am lying on the couch feeling sorry for myself (dramatic me) and my phone buzzes - Its Kat! Phone me - need to talk. So I send her a please call me coz i'm too broke to phone her back, and she says: Get in your car, (ok, with what petrol exactly?) no no, I will put petrol in, come to my house, lets eat pizza, drink tea and take your car for a spin. Cool! No questions asked, I jump out of my pj's (its like 9:30pm by now) jump into my car and chug up to Kat's house. We did exactly that, ate pizza, ate soup ( well, i did all the eating, Kat just watched ) drank tea & listened to 80's music - shock horror, me ?

ok, i'm going to stop here for a moment. I must have listened to 40 x 80's songs last night - i knew .... 2 of them. Kat is the same age as me but has come to the conclusion that clearly I was in a bubble for the best part of the 80's because I don't remember ANY of this music - I mean who the hell is Lou Reed? And why did they LOVE the electric keyboard so much, oh I cringe to think about it. Kat was flabbergasted that ME, who loves music sooooo much, only knew one Dire Straits song to show for it - pathetic I know.

Kat ended up putting fuel in my machine of a car (thanks friend) and we sped off around Cape Point at midnight listening to SADDO FM. ha ha - it was fun though, I came home, collapsed into bed and only woke up at 8am - oopps. Thankfully Shane had got the sprogs off to school - I'm not usually SO irresponsible before you all report me.

This morning I helped an old lady get up out of her chair in the Wimpy. She was stuck and waved her walking stick at me, indicating I should help her up. I sheepishly edged over to her, wondering if it was a ploy and she was going to bash me with her stick, but she genuinely was stuck. She was quite heavy, but I did it - so now I dont feel so bad about racing the blue rinse granny to the checkout.

The girls are all going off to sleep at sister Meg tonight so I am kidless. I'm going to watch a movie all by lonesome I think - yay.

Ok, ciao!

Do you wash your hair?

I'm sitting in the internet cafe again because Shane is using the laptop for an appointment, and there is a guy sitting here who seriously has not washed his hair for like 6 months.. seriously. its long and its greasy and its gross. He will never contract lice thats for sure, the little buggers would just slip straight off. yuk.

I mean washing your hair is like wearing pretty underwear, you just DO it as part of life? The pretty underwear thing is of utmost importance, just in case you're in a car accident and the doctor is a hottie, you gotta make sure you always look your best.

Anyway, that is all totally arb. I applied for a job this morning! Random, but I just thought I would try to see if I would get it. So, hold thumbs. I need to start earning some bucks and its for a Safari bush camp co. based in Noordhoek, so its around the corner which is great and the salary isn't bad. I really really want to do my Doula work full time but I need money to tide me over and to get it going properly and I can't do that right now, so hold thumbs PLEASE! If its meant to be, then its meant to be.

We're off to watch rugby at Newlands on Saturday night, I cant wait! I love love love live rugby, I go all out, paint my face, Mexican Wave, scream at the ref and boo the losing team - which is usually my own team. I have NO loyalty I tell you.

Here's something fun to do if you're bored, Kerri sent it to me yesterday, thanks friend. Type out the sentence you end up with and Email me your answers please, they are so funny... kerry@africanskyadventures.co.za

Being Productive

So I am forcing myself, kicking and screaming to be productive this week. My To Do List is getting longer by the minute, ok some of it is personal stuff, but still, it has to be done - blech..





Yesterday I was off to Fiji again... ha ha, Kitty Kat managed to drag that one out of my head : " Kerry, Fiji is death " Ok then... I had better stay put.





The whole valley heard me taking the kids to school this morning. Niamh picked up a seaweed 'vuvuzela' when we went away ( its looks like a big horn thing that you blow and it makes a really loud noise - for all you non-South Africans) here's a pic:

actually her one looks exactly like this:

This thing makes a noise like a FOG horn. So, she's puffing away full blast out the window the WHOLE way to school (about 5km) , and I'm laughing so much I can hardly drive. We pull up at the traffic lights and I'm trying to puton my stern, I'm a controlled mother voice, but I'm laughing so much I can hardly breathe. The guys looking for work at the traffic lights decide to dance and toy-toying around my car to the tune of Niamh's horn until the lights changed to green... Classic - the spirit of Africa, gotta love it ;)



Ok, I'm off to do some real work,

Keep Smiling

oh and Kitty, I'm glad there are no keys in my box this morning

Chip rolls rock!

So, we went to Betty's Bay for the weekend with Hazel, Dale and our zillions of kids. Shane & I spent most of the weekend asleep, much to Hazels disgust - there's just something about the 'champagne' air out there - ha ha.. sorry friend. Shane was sick and spent most of the weekend farting and squirting - revolting i know. On my way to work this morning I heard there was a big fire in Betty's bay, the day after we left - Shane, I reckon your combustible (is that even a word?) gasses were the cause of that fire... I got a bit of the bug yesterday, so was feeling gross and Hazel just smsed me to say she is spewing up in bed - THANKS SHANE.. Chicken soup is on its way my friend.

Can you believe Hazel has NEVER eaten a chip roll? I was shocked.. we introduced them to the life of the plebs on the way home by insulting their digestive systems with sloppy white bread chip rolls, loaded with tomato sauce - yummy.... Maybe that is why we got sick? Or it could be because we cooked a WHOLE PIG on Saturday night and forced ourselves to eat it for supper & then Breakfast on sunday - that could have something to do with it. Just maybe.

We went kayaking on Saturday which was cool, I'm dying to learn how to do it properly and its a really good workout. Shane & I fought the whole way along the river because he was trying to tip the kayak and I was threatening divorce if he did so. The girls loved it and all had a go at rowing, even Shanah took a turn with her baby oar - too cute man. Hazel got rowed along the river by Dale, a girls gotta look good whilst kayaking along the river you know ;)

I'm sitting in the internet cafe writing this, the girl next to me keeps peeping over my shoulder.. nosey. She edged her chair away from me when she got to the squirting/farting line - ha ha - serves you right for being nosey girl.

(i cant find a pic that says miss nosey, so i'll improvise)I love those Mr Men books - I'm going to start collecting them again i think. I love Mr Tickle, and Miss Giggles. Send them my way if you find any.

Ok, I'm going to find some food - I'm really hungry. I went to my Doula meeting in town this morning so I'm feeling doula inspired again - I just need to keep it going this time... I can't work when im hungry though, so here i go. Kerry is being productive!

Keep smiling,
