Hi all.
Well lets jsut say that I am running on empty.

GB is in Hospital he is severly dehydrated he was admitted last night. I did let his dad know so hopefully he will come home to see his son. I hate the fact that the little man is ill & his daddy is not with him.

Dh's sister is being admitted to hospital today as her treatment is not work, she suffers from clinical depression.

I was dead tired when I go home & all i wanted to to was have a bath & go to sleep.... well the girls had other plans they were up past midnight I can hardly keep my eyes open & have a rough day ahead of me. Am seriosly considering a cat nap later in my new office.

As to the new 3 kids lets just say they have started to test my authority not a good thing to do when I am already cranky.... willhave to lay down the law when I get home thats of course if I can keep my eyes open
Hope you all have a great day.

Hi All hope your weekend was great.... DH was working the whole of Saturday for a private client which is a really good thing considering we need the extra cash with 3 extra mouths to feed.

While DH was at work we vurnt all the garden rubbish whch we seemed to collect over the year, what looked like an hour or two's work ended up taking all day, in the process we managed to piss a few of our neighbours off with all the smoke which by the way we tried to contain.

Sunday DH sorted out my ex-sister in laws PC, I honestly have no clue why we do things like this considering she screwed us over. Any how thats just who we are, also I am a firm believer in the rule of 3. So I will sit back & see what happens in that department.

On Saturday R let me know that GB was ill I was seriously stressed out & let his father know. Any way not sure how the little man is doing but I hope he is ok, his father wants me to keep him updated....

Saturday I was supposed to meet a group of ladies who have also adopted but as DH was working I missed this oppertunity but luckly I was invited to the next meet which is to be on the 1st of Septemeber. Currently there are no real support groups for ppl who adopt so I am hoping that this thing will grow.

Sunday I think I was supposed to go see GB but I did not make arrangements to see him & with him being sick I did not want to intrude as R is going through enough stress with a sick baby I did not want to add to her stress.

My new 3 seem to be doing well but I must admit that I am exhausted I could do with some sleep not sure how much longer I can keep up this pace.

Daniel saw his brother over the weekend which was a really good thing as the litle guy misses his big brother way to much as to me seeing him well I guess I am stipp persona non grata. Not much I can do about that I am afraid. I miss him but understand that he has issues he needs to work out so I will give him his space.

On the work front things are looking a little better. I am officially moving to the back ffice to run finance & office management even though my title has not changed. Yes I will be getting an increase & my position is now permanaents no long 6 month contracts. I have to wait till they appoint the new girlie before I can move to my new office. Today my training starts on the financial package the company is running on this is going to be an interesting learning curve.
Have a great day.

The girls are settling in well with the new routine, Keira loves having the extra children in the house but screams blue murder in the mornings when they leave for school.

The school has helped the girls out by buying them each a new set of uniforms & replacing the school books they lost in the fire.

Tomorrow is a public holiday so we will be sorting out the girls room as at the moment it looks more like a storeroom than a bedroom. Am gonna put up girlie things to make them feel more com

Tomorrow is a public holiday so hopefully I will get a bit of sleep, but there again my house is now constantly a hive of activity & sound(moms polite word for noise)

I will be back at work on Friday but all the kids will be off school I am sure the housekeeper & childminder are going to have their hands full.

Work is driving me nuts I am currently pulling my hair out at the roots in the space of 15 minutes I have had all my bosses call in with URGENT instructions. I have explained to the whole bloody lot of them that I am only ONE person doing THREE ppls work Yeah I am a tad pissed off right now.....

A few houses away from me are 2 house where squatters have taken over by about 20 families, this includes kids, those of you who know me that children are my passion. In the past I have helped these children with their school work bought them xmas pressies & passed them on clothes that my kids have out grown or what has been given to me buy other ppl.

Last night at around 10pm DH work me up & told me that one of the squatter houses was on fire. There I was have asleep & all I could think of were the kids living in that house. I grabbed all the spare blankets I could find I ran down to the houses to make sure the kids were ok. I am happy to say that the 3 little girls who I have grown to love over a period of 3 years are all alive & well, they lost everything. the one little girl named Lebo was so upset because her school uniform & books were burnt. Unfortunately a firelighter was injured when he fell through the floor boards he will be out of action for about 6 months.

The girls all cam home with me & I have made them as comfortable as possible. It breaks my heart that they had so little to start with & now they have nothing & all they really are worried about is their school uniforms & books.
Some pictures of the girls house.




The girls with Keira & Daniel.

The girls will be with us for awhile not sure how we are going to afford 3 extra mouths this month.

Last night after the shock of the news about our social worker I went home with a heavy heart. Then my baby lit up my heart. Should stood up all by herself for the first time & I got it on video. I am really sorry about the poor Quality but hopefully you can see it also excuse the mothers voice in the background as i was sooooo excited.
