Load Shitting..........

So I'm thinking about moving to Zimbabwe.Although they don't have petrol,food and their money means zip at least they've got power.

This morning just before nine our power at home went off due to load shedding.Since it was raining all of last week I have no more clean clothes to wear and the washing machine was working overtime.Power came back on at eleven.

Now were sitting at work waiting in anticipation for the power to be cut as the Tshwane Metro website informed that load shedding will take place from 13hoo to 16h00.NOTHING has happened.I just hope it doesn't go down just before 16h00 as I need to leave for home and traffic will be horrible.

I wonder what will happen with the 2010 Soccer World Cup as Eskom announced the new power plant will only be finished in 2016.What a joke.

Kids,kids,kids

The twins are driving me mad.I need to take them for their injections today so instead of going into the office I decided to work from home.

Now picture this: I am on the phone with an insurance company trying to add a vehicle on one of my clients policies and in the background the boys have removed the cushions from my couch.This leaves the base part with the springy bits open and they are jumping and creaming with joy.

The day before yesterday their sister was busy cutting and used Ponal glue(which she left on the table). I slipped out into the garden for 5minutes and come back to find the following:

Glue on dining room table
Glue in both the boys hair
Glue on one of the dining room chairs
And a snaking glue trail all over the dining room on the tiles.

I had to leave the glue to dry and then peal it off.The glue in the hair will have to stay as I already cut their hair short and can't go shorter.

They joys of being a parent.I think I need to get involved in a group where people have twins to find out how they keep their sanity.

The cow is restless

I have been doing a lot of thinking this December and a lot of talking with friends.
I am a religious person and do believe in God but some things was brought under my attention.

I am busy reading " The secrets of Mary Magdalene" and wonder about the gospels that are not found in the bible.Maybe there is a lot more we do not know and how true are some of these claims.Is it not so that the Roman Catholic Church decided what are to be included in the bible?

Is this just fiction like The DA Vince code or are there some truths.
Will let you know after I finish the book.

Makes one think.

Back at work Yippppeeeeeeeee!

On Sunday evening I made myself a cup of coffee and in true military style summoned the three terrorist that runs my family.I made them sit down on the floor and put their finger in front of their mouths to shush for just 5 minutes.

This was a difficult task but I managed to finish my coffee and cigarette without much disturbance from them.I was telling them that the Nanny Elenor will be back on Monday and that mommy will be returning to work the next day at witch Werner replied "OK Bye"

Great, freedom.No more washing.No more painting and cleaning.No more picking up after the kids and great some grown up conversation.

Happy new year,valentines day,easter and all that...

Ok, so I'm not very good at wishing people all of the above.I tend to normally find myself busy with something else.

So here goes - Happy new year to all !!!!! although a little belated.

Hope you have a great one............
