Anyway, after a lunch time chat, I realised that I haven't blogged for ages and now I realise that I think I've started a lot of my posts with - something about how long it's been since I've blogged ha ha ha
Oh well - call me the in between blogger!
My nails are pink - yay for mom-in-laws who visit the UK and bring me back really nice pressies! The coolest part about these pink nails is that I actually have nails - I haven't bitten my nails in about 2 or 3 months - how good! so proud of myself - so hoping to be a good example to little Carly - so she's not sucking her fingers anymore - after a couple of days of me wrapping her fingers with tape so she couldn't suck them - we finally broke the habit - now to just get her to stock biting her nails - so let's hope moms beautiful pink nails encourage her!
So they're all on holiday and I miss them terribly - but I really am enjoying the break - working really is a break for me. There is order, a chain of command, rules that we all obey - mostly and there are adults - lots and lots of adults!! YAY!! What a nice thing to be surrounded by people who don't want to play puzzles and draw and play hide and seek all day.
So I started there on 1 July - day one... instant coffee and a very afrikaans radio station in the background, day two - instant coffee and headphones, day three - headphones and filter coffee and a one cup bodum - ha ha - I'm such a coffee snob! and a music snob too - sorry but I can't even speak the language, must I really listen to the language to a tune all day - I think not!! ha ha
I was getting some photos and stuff together this morning to take with to work to stick on my wall and after accumulating all my piccies of my gorgeous babies, I piled them together and put them back where they came from - I just couldn't bring myself to take all my personal pictures to work - I'm blogging about how private I actually am ha ha - what a joke - but seriously I don't know what it was - I just couldn't do it!
Anyway - I'm now a proper working mom - I don't see my babies the whole day - no lunch time pick ups, nothing - and after despising the idea for so many years - I must confess I'm really enjoying it - really!!
Leila's taking strain a little - she phones me a million times a day to ask me what she should do, or tell me how her sister is irritating her or how she is missing me - shame I hope she gets used to the idea soon - but my lovely new nanny is such a GodSend - I just hope Leila takes Carly and Jethro's lead and learns to love her!
Now me and my beautiful long pink nails are going to sleep, got to get up for work tomorrow - got lots to do!! Looking forward to it - but before I do that I need to think up a couple of creative things for the kids to do tomorrow - think I may mix some powder paint up for them - although my maid my just quit if I leave her alone with a 7, 5 and 2 year old with a couple of jars of paint....
I think I'll sleep on it!
