Wow since I gotten back to work I have not touched sides. I got a promotions cus my manager has resigned & I am to take over alot of his work load. I am terrified as I hate not knowing what I am doing. This is going to be a HUGE learning curve.
The directors have yet to decide what my new title is or if I will be getting a raise (am gonna fight for one)

The kids are doing great.

The boys father paid child support for the first time in 8 years... yeah that does explain the freezing weather. I hope he keeps it up.

Currently in South africa a large number of trade unions are on strike including the teachers so the kids have not been going to school as it is to dangerous for them to go. These so called educators actually attack teacher who do go to work & even some of the kids have been attacked..I decided to keep Daniel home till I am 100% happy he will be safe. I can not believe that these hooligans are actually educating ou children, just proves that we live in a very sick world.

There is still no news about Steffy's adoption cus now I have to phone the birth mother & I have not plucked up the courage to do so.... hell what do I say to her.."hello I am Steffys mommy & I need to know where you husband is so that I can get a documnet from him saying he is not her father". Hell I have been putting this off for a week.

I do not want to hurt this women for doing the right thing, I do not want to open her wounds. But what other choice do I have.

According to the courts her husband can contest the adoption cus Steffy has his surname & was born in a marriage even though she is a product of an affair.....

hope you are all well..... huggles

Well I am back from a few days leave which was much needed. I spent it sewing, resting & nursing sick kids. Yeah the whole lot had flu.

I must admit that not much has been going on....

Since my sister lost her baby she has become depressed & down (which is understandable) anyway her DH who I must admit I do not like much decided that she needed some cheering up so he is flying my mom to the UK for 3 weeks. My mom is so excited. I honestly hope that she can cheer my sister up.

Orian is currently writing his mid year exams I hope he does well.

Currently our teachers are on strike so there has been no school since Friday which really does not make me happy. Anyway I contacted Daniels school & by the looks of things teaching will be back to normal tomorrow.

My direct manager has resigned & I am so happy about it. There is a chance for a promotion here for me so I am crossing my fingers & toes.

THE ADOPTION!!!!

Well this is where things stand. Steffy's birth mother has not contacted her husband to get the affidavit from him saying that he is not the childs biological father. So now we have to advertise in 3 newspapers for 3 consecutive days, but before we do this we have to contact the birth mother & warn her that tis is happening & give her a final chance to tell her husband about Steffy.
There is a very good chance that he can contest the adoption.(I am terrified that this will happen). DH & I will call the birth mother tomorrow.
