Lets talk about race and relaxation
Soooo you know how I’m every kind of interesting and you are just dying to read what has been going on in my life.
I’m not? You don’t? shame I’m going to tell you anyway…
I found that I have been doing a lot of complaining lately, I decided to cut that out and focus on a onward and upward approach to life.
My main complaint (Not weight or money related) is that I am approaching burn out FAST!
So to combat that, I have decided to cut down my work load where I can.
This means I come home at the end of the day and spend time with my family. Aidan and I snuggle up and watch DIY tutorials and Rob and I actually talk, it has made all the difference.
I even went out with friends the other day and I plan on actually leaving the house more often. I even signed up for Zumba…have not attended yet, but signing up is something right?
I now have busy bags stocked at my favourite coffee shop. HOW AWESOME IS THAT
My cousin and I are working on a new product line and action plan, I want to work smarter not harder people.
We are seriously, all hands on deck, planning the Mini #ECMeetUp…whoop whoop
In other news I’m not a fan of talking about race, but this is South Africa and things are like they are; I was in a verbal racial attack this weekend… Friends and I were treated like absolute dirt. We were waiting for another friend to get home when her neighbours lost it… apparently we need to find our own civilisation among other things (note we didn’t have alcohol and weren’t playing music…just didn’t look the part)…I’m scared for humanity. This after a rude woman spoke through me while I was waiting for a business meeting “what does she want, why is she here” She (me) was not impressed. (Cant be sure that the rude woman was about race, maybe she was a non discriminatory A-hole) It made me even more adamant to teach Aidan how to not be a bigot.
Aidan is doing great. He speaks extremely well for his age and NON-STOP , kinda like his mom. (I speak really well for my age don’t you know). But seriously he surprises me with his wit and banter and I swear he is being scripted by Nickelodeon.
He loves taking picures see here . I actually ended up buying him a kiddies camera, it’s a cheapy but it takes pics and now we can join in the Home schooling photo club, do check it out it seems like LOADS of fun. (and like us you don’t have to be home schooling to join in)
It’s the wine festival this weekend, here’s to more relaxation and less racial issues.
You make me laugh! Mostly. In the racial attack part, I was not laughing. Seriously?! 1992 called, they want their race issues back. I can’t believe people can’t move forward. I have a mixed-race niece and nephew. They live in the UK, and no-one bats an eyelid at their gorgeous little family. When they come to visit us in SA, people stare at them and their parents as if there were an entire pork spit on their heads. Lame. Backwards. An indication of a lack of intelligence, in my opinion.
Onwards and upwards indeed. You’ve got this.
Hahaha pork spit hahaha
My mom says you can’t control how people treat you, only how you react to them … very apt at the moment
oh cool please tell me what cheapy camera you bought for Aidan?
Oooh I got it online at kid zone they have a range we got the ninja turtle one…screen is small but it gets job done
Nice one!!! Onwards (‘forwards’ if you will) and upwards. Good timing as well! 🙂
Thanks so much lady 🙂
I what era was that neighbour left behind? And silly stupid woman. I am glad to see you are taking it a bit easier.
thanks 🙂 by their outfits I’d say late 80s hehehe
