So - I did, I won some money and because my husband's away (which is a whole other post on it's own), I'm getting stuck into the house, because when the kids go to bed, what else is there to do? Drink Wine and Paint of course!! :) So I went shopping - a quick shop at Mr Price with three kids under 7, before church - thankfully our church starts at 10 - late sleeper? Check it out - e-mail me, I'll give you directions!! :)
So, in 45 minutes I managed to put 2 cushions, 1 wire heart hook thingie, a tray, oven gloves, 3 picture frames and 3 toys to appease the kids into my trolley and R600 later walked out of the shop and off to church we went, gave an offering and wallah - R700 spent. But - and here it is the big But - I realised, because I work at Volpes and get a staff discount - why did I spend R200 on two cushions? for my lounge that that currently boasts 10 cushions on 4 couches... so after some contemplation and a cuppa after the service, we speedily went to the bigger and better Mr Price, where I returned what I'd bought 2 hours previously and walked out with... the tray, the oven gloves and a heart chalk board for my kitchen... I spent the whole night dreaming about what I was going to buy and I walked away with a tray, oven gloves and a heart chalk board???
This after I was planning to get some good looking ornamenty type things for my lounge and diningroom. Anyway... I didn't - I have the money in my wallet and when next I get a "gap" if that's what you want to call it - Me an my three kids (I know that was grammatically incorrect - it was done on purpose!) - will go and look and see what we can find to make my lounge and diningroom look totally wreck appealing to the kids! I had my lampstand broken in half today - thanks to the boy - FLIPSAKES - Boys are something else!!! LOVE HIM - but flipsakes - IS HE BUSY!! He climbs on anything and everything, he jumps and romps and totally just wrestles his way through life!!
Talking about wrestling - mom is now the designated wrestler with Bobby away - oh you don't know about that hey - well he's been gone since about the 25th of October - I will probably see him on the last weekend of November and then he goes again until the 22 December - he's away for work - got a lovely contract, which makes it worth it! But Flip do we miss him!!! and another !!!!!!
So I've re-done my kitchen and re-arranged my lounge (with no ornaments!!! - yet). I have had a few days of being sick so on those nights I kissed the kids goodnight and switched off the lights and jumped into bed myself - thankfully I'm feeling a bit better - was a bit concerned that I may be pregnant again - can you imagine! 4 Babies!!??? yoh!
So in the next few nights I'm painting door frames, tv cabinet, beds, bookcases and blogging a bit in between too (how cools is that alliteration!?)
But for now - in order for me to stop rambling - I'm going to try (for the 3rd time) to finish watching Eat Pray Love
Chat soon - I guarantee it :)
