Season's Greetings

Wishing everyone out there a very Merry Christmas! Hope you have a wonderful day.

Changes

I've often heard: life's about changes. Well, I'm definitely Living!

This year has been hectic. First the move back home from abroad - a huge change! Then our Europe tour (ok, not a change, but huge adventure). We arrive back home (our old townhouse from before we left) - the kids have grown quite a bit over the years that we've been away, and the house is too small. Start house hunting. The kids go back to school - quite an adjustment, especially since they've been in an English school for so long, and we put them back in an Afrikaans school (since that is our home language). Hubby gets a bunch of job offers, and then one comes from right across country. He flies there and decides he wants the job. Few weeks later, I find myself in Cape Town.....househunting!! We're moving January!! Its all quite overwhelming....

Oh, but the house hunting trip wasn't very successful. A little snag. So now we'll have to choose house using only pictures! Its a little scary in a way... It could turn out to be a disaster! And we have to move before schools start for the new year...which is around middle January. That doesn't give us much time, does it?

*sigh* I need to refill my wineglass.....

Adorable

When we went abroad, we sold one of our cars, but we kept mine (the smaller one) so that we would at least have wheels when we visited, or returned. Yes I know that seems stupid now, but we were never sure how long we'd be away....and I just couldn't let my cute little purple car go.

Anyhow, now that we're back (and of course the family has grown quite a bit over the years that we were away) we need to buy another. So this morning my 6 year old son (who's favourite colour is green btw) has this conversation with me:

Him: When you buy a new car, can it be a green one that sometimes has a roof and sometimes doesn't have a roof?

Me: Hmm, that's a cool idea. But those are sooo expensive.

Him: Oh. Ok then, can you buy a green one that doesn't have a roof??

Wacky sleep patterns

OK, so the same thing happened. Worse actually.... :-/

I just lay down for a second, while everyone was watching a movie on my bed....and I was gone! This time with my clothes on... The kids hadn't even bathed yet either. I guessed dad got them to bed later (though he didn't bother with the bathing, and I doubt he checked that their teeth were brushed). Oh well, at least this time my own teeth did not bother me like the previous night *giggle*. I was really just so exhausted (it really was a busy busy week). And after a good sleep I felt much better this morning :)

Then this morning I walked into the girls' room....and the eldest one (which is kinda odd at times) was humming!! And yes, as far as I could tell she was still asleep!!

Two nights ago my son was in the bath, and when I got back to check on him and get him out, this is what I found:

It was kinda funny. He was snoring too!! When I tried to wake him, he turned on his side and muttered something like: 'Is it time for school?'

Molarmares!

Not quite a nightmare, but close!

Its been a really crazy busy week, and last night I was so so tired - I lay down on the bed before I was ready for bed, and not long and I was out.....before I had brushed my teeth. And it kept me from proper sleep all damn night!! There was a constant nagging at me that I hadn't brushed my teeth yet (ugh, my subconscious at work), but I never woke far enough to actually get up and do something about it. And I can actually remember the nagging.. So stupid. *rolls eyes* I stayed just under the surface of slumber all night...

And today I can't keep my eyes open.

*yawn*
