well when thing slowed down at work i started thinking about Steffy's birth mother. I took out the number I have for her cousins place & gave it a call. An old lady answered & told me that Zandile was in hospital, I panicked & asked if she was ok, granny said yes she was having a BABY. Yes you read right Steffy's birth mother is having another baby hell Steffy is not even a year yet.

I tried to contact the social worker in Durban to let her know unfortunatly she has taken a half day, so I left a message with her boss with all the details.

I sat here staring at my PC wondering about the new baby... what is it, will she give this one up as well, does she know who the father is?

Then I did what I do best I HUNTED her down as granny did not know which hospital she was in .... I called the hosiptal where Steffy was born & got no answer so I call the Addington Hospital... this hospital & I have a very long history.... My mother was its matron, I was born in it, Vincent was born in it & Keira was born in it.... & Yes Zandile is admitted there in the maternity section & is currently in full labour.

I informed the social worker & she will be calling the hospital social worker to keep her there until Monday as they want to speak to her. They seriously doubt that her circumstances have changed & they are worried about the new baby.

When I tld DH about what was going on he had a very good laugh & then added NO we are not having another one.

This is where the problem comes in.... I could not in all good thinking not adopt this new baby if it is available as i would continualy worry about Steffy's sibling.

Am I NUTS?

My mind is racing all over the show.

Help please advise.... what should I do?

Hi all, its snowing in Johannesburg.
Vincent woke me up at about 11pm to tel me it was snowing I honestly though he had lost it cus it just does not snow here, any how I drag myself out of my warm bed to see this here said SNOW.... as I looked at the street light I said to Vincent that it looks like bugs but after a minute of squinting I saw that it was really snowing. I climbed back in to my warm bed & left the kids to watch the snow but I was dragged out of bed again when everything was white. The kids had been outside & made snow angels & a mini snowman. Where was my camara.....at work *sob* the pics I have here were taken on Dh's cell this morning so they are of crappy quality. I asked Vincent to take Keira out to play in the snow as who knows when we will get some again.

Am taking my camara home just in case it snows again tonight.

Steffy has tooth number 3 it popped out yesterday. Wow my baby girl is growing up way to quickly.

All the other kids seem to be fine. Daniel is relaxing & enjoying his school holidays. VJ has been studying hard & his marks are improving. Keira's chest infection is a thing of the past. Dh's eys still looks nasty... it looked like a giant zit (yuck) anyway the thing exploded on Sunday (double yuck) he is on antibiotics & pain killers.

R is doing ok she seems to stress to much about other ppl but then that is just how she is. She is moving this weekend into her own place I am so proud of her.

Me well .... work is being a challenge ... I am working my butt off with my new duties.... sure they will get easier once I get the hang of it.

My mom is flying back from the UK she has been visiting my sister for 3 weeks & it sounds like they had a wonderful time.

hope all is well with the rest of you.

hi, all is ok with me yesterdays post was done as a favor for someone who was trying to get a message to someone else. I hope the person concerned can open his heart to R & work on a friendship with her again....

There is no real news, Steffy slept through the night Yippee, Keira has a chest infection, Daniel is on school holidays as of today even though he has not been able to write all his exams because of the bloody strikes, he will write the other exams when school re-opens. Vincent is studying very hard.

DH has a nastey eye infection it looks like I socked him a shot in the eye. I promise I did not....

Me:'work is hectic nothing really to report

hope you all have a great weekend

Its strange that at time you wake up & see that you might have made a mistake when you walked away.

This is dedicated to ....... from R



My mind keeps drifting back
To things we said this morning
Now i'm sitting here alone
Watching the world pass me by
Every time we part i fell like i'm falling
No matter what you think
I still love you

You will always be a part of me
No matter what we do
You will always hold a piece of me
Wherever i may go
Always....

The sky gets darker
And i sense that you are far and away
I miss the times we had when things were going our way
But every time we part you know how much it hurts me
No matter what you think
I still love you.

You will always be a part of me
No matter what we do
You will always hold a piece of me
Wherever i may go
Always....
