I’ve tried multiple times today to write a post worth
anything but nothing is coming to mind. I don’t know why; however I am having a
rambling sort of day. So, I thought since I’ve been a little AWOL lately, we
could catch up over a cuppa!
I saw this post on LiveLaughLove and know it’s quite
popular around the blogosphere.
If we were having
coffee… I’d probably tell you how I slept like poop last night (then I’d
giggle how now I’m so used to saying poop instead of s*** because of kids). I was having terrible nightmares. I haven’t
had dreams like this since I was pregnant (and for the record, I am NOT
pregnant!). I dreamt Hubby was in a car accident and when he came through he no
longer remembered me and the kids and tried to choke me! I dreamt C had killed
a woman and then ate her (oh, I’m serious peeps) and it was SO graphic. I had
multiple falling dreams and eventually couldn’t get myself to close my eyes any
longer!
If we were having
coffee… I’d probably tell you how sad I am to see Lil Mister go to Ouma
this weekend! I know these times with his Ouma and Oupa are important and great
for him, but the house seems so quiet without him around. I miss his warmth at
night and his HUGE hugs in the morning. I’d also tell you how (once again) I plan
to use these nights to attempt to wean LJ. I’d probably admit I doubt I’ll get
it right because at 1am….I give in to just about anything that means I get
sleep! Did you wean? How did you get it
right?
If we were having
coffee… I’d admit how terrible my house looks right now. There is STILL
stuff in boxes and I’ve yet to sort a place for everything. Even with M working
and living with us right now, we just aren’t getting to everything. The new
house does not have an enclosed yard. That means that if the kids are to go
outside, M must be with them the whole time. The house is suffering as we
adjust to a new routine. However, I love this house. There are so many plans we
have and ideas….we just need to get there! I would admit that my bathroom is my
nemesis right now and that although I crave a clean house…I just can’t get
there! Of course, I have an action plan for the weekend! What is your household nemesis?
If we were having
coffee… I would most likely want to discuss my new job. It’s in that new
transition phase where I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be doing. I often feel
useless at this moment and I despise that! I also am overwhelmed by the program
a little bit. I always feel this way when learning a new program, but settle in
relatively easy once I get moving. I guess I just miss the comfort. I can’t
wait to start diving into learning though! I believe in myself and know I can
make this a success!
C, me and N on New Years Eve |
If we were having
coffee… I’d tell you how much I miss my friends. I miss the random pop ins
and coffee nights. I miss the braais! I’m so excited to have CiCi coming the
weekend to kuier! I know Hubby and I are going to soak it up. We’re blessed to
have friends who want to remain in contact! I miss C and her chats and the
comfort of her love. I miss feeling….home with people. I also am hesitant to
even begin building relationships here. I feel as if I am betraying my friends!
I’d also admit I miss the Dal. I miss the accessibility of everything and I
miss how familiar it was. A co-worker was eating a naartjie this morning and
the smell wanted to make me cry at the thought of the farm! I knew our town had
become home; I was unaware how deep its roots were in me!
If we were having
coffee… I’d admit I’ve developed a really bad habit at work now! I drink a
cup of coffee which makes me want to smoke. So I smoke which makes me thirsty.
Therefore I drink water and go back to my office. 25 minutes later I need to
use the bathroom from coffee and water which leads me to leave my office. While
I’m up I figure I’d might as well have some coffee and this starts all over
again!
If we were having
coffee… I’d probably tell you how much I am craving spicy food! Not like
chili spicy but like buffalo wing spicy!! No, I’m not pregnant and yes, I know
this for sure! However, Hubby has been asking me to make liver cakes all week
but I keep forgetting to take them out of the freezer at night to thaw!
Therefore, I feel guilty saying I’m going to make my craving but I’ve neglected
his the WHOLE week! Eish….. What are you
craving? What is your favourite spicy recipe?
If we were having
coffee… I’d ask you how you’ve been this past month! I’d ask you what is
new and exciting in your world! I’d ask you how can I be praying for you!!!
Thanks so much for that lekker chat! I’ve missed yall!
Have a great weekend!!!
Check out my highlight sponsor this month!!
