Its been a rather hectic weekend. On Friday we took Vincent through to Pretoria as he was going on a school camp. The Rest of Friday was getting odds & ends like diapers & formula for Steffy. Saturday was doing the monthly groceries & running after the kids. DH bought Keira a bicycle a little purple one, complete with a basket & a cyclists hat. Way to cute.
Sunday we went to my sister in law for the afternoon it was great cus we had a lng chat about the mother-outlaw & the issues we are both having with her.
DH went back to Pretoria to fetch Vincent who said he had a total blast at the camp.

Today we went to court to fill in the formal application for adoption. The Durban social worker is still trying to track down the birth mothers husband.

In all the rushing around DH & I both forgot our wedding anniversary which was on Saturday, now how nuts is that? We only clicked in court when we had to verify all our information that we had missed it. I feel like a total twit. Tomorrow is a public holiday Yippee a day home with the kids.

Vincent’s ex let me know today that she has moved out of her mothers house as there are issues there & she is looking for a place of her own. I have done some research & am hoping to call in a HUGE favor with a friend who has a 2 bedroom garden flat. I hope it will work out.

My sister is going for her D & C today I hope she is doing ok emotionally.

That’s everything in a nut shell.

Hi all, please can you say a special prayer for my sister she lives in London. Today she went for an antenatel check up as she is 10 week preggies, she has been told that there is no heart beat & that she has to go for a D & C on MONDAY. Why they do not do it right now I do not know but she is toatally broken & I have no way to comfort her for South AFrica. All her family are here in SA. It was a miracle she fell pregnate, will explain this in a later post. Thanks. btw her name is Teryy & she is the most wonderful person in the world, she is also my baby sister.

Johannesburg - A woman is due to appear in the Potchefstroom magistrate's court on Wednesday after her attempt to hang herself and her baby failed, North West police say.

Standing on a chair, she had tied two ropes to a tree and placed a noose around her neck and another around the neck of her three-year-old daughter, said spokesperson Louis Jacobs.

"It seems the chair slipped before she was ready." The child survived with a bruised neck.

Jacobs said the incident was reported to police on Monday morning, but happened on Saturday.

The woman was living in a caravan on a smallholding in Buffelshoek, 50km from Potchefstroom.

The woman was currently in custody while the child was taken to a place of safety. The woman faces a charge of attempted murder.


How bad must thing be to get to this point?

Here is a video clip of Keira & Daniel swimming. Sorry about the poor sound.

Last night I got home rather late as I am getting a lift form a friend to get me home while Steve is away.
When I got home Keira ran up to me gave me a hug & asked me “where’s my daddy” Oh boy here we go again. After 3 very loud sniffs the water works started again.

Thank goodness for the boys they quickly took her mind of things & bribed her with a lolly. (it works every time).

Vincent ran my bath & watched the little ones while I had a little me time, which lasted all of 3 minutes as Keira hopped into the bath me.

Vincent cooked supper & we all piled into my bed to watch CSI.

We then called Steve so that he could speak to Keira & once she spoke to him she seemed to be happy. I am so grateful he is coming home tomorrow.
