End of the year is near


I can't believe another year is nearly nearing it's end. It's become quite a cliche to say "Where does the time go" But seriously, Where DOES it go? It's true what they say, "The older we get , the faster the time goes".
I can't believe in less than a months time I will be celebrating the last year in my 30's. To think how depressed I was about turning 30. Oh to be 30 again!! What fun I'd have.
Now, I'm not saying I haven't been having fun this year, in fact it's been a good year. I wanted 2009 to be a good year, and it may be too early to say it's been a good one, as it's not over yet, but compared to what a lot of my friends, collegues and family have been through this year, ours' has been good.
Craig has done well in buying soccer tickets for the world cup 2010. Now he just needs to sell them so that I can have my breast reduction, and so on and so on. Speaking of that, my appointment with Dr Barker, is on the 18th Jan. It will be interesting to see what he says.

Well, I can't really say much has happened since my last blog, which would have been just before Thomas's birthday.
He had a good birthday with his friends from school. We did sandart, played a few other games and the kids had a great time.
Speaking of sandart, it's been going well with selling. Some months are quiet and other months I get loads of calls. I'm not going to become a millionaire selling it, but I have my grandmothers Jewish blood and love to feel the notes between my grubby paws. I have also done 2 markets, one in Retreat and one in Muizenberg. I did better at the Retreat one, but I did sell 2 home kits, which is the one that makes the best profit.

The kids are growing up fast. Thomas has been going to a few castings, through Kids inc. He got a print shoot for Flora overseas in August. Not sure if they used it but he got paid nearly R600 after tax and then he did a tv commercial for Ernstings family (clothing company) That was hard work. Hot day, shooting the whole day at a guest house in Rosebank. Thomas seemed to have fun. We were there at 08h45 and finished off at 17h30. They even cut lunch down to 1/2 an hour. Delicious lunch and breakfast, and snacks, coffee, water etc provided the whole day. Was quite exciting to on set of a real live commercial, even though we may never get to see it and even though it's only about 20 seconds long! I spend the day chatting to the other moms, trying to sneak a peek every now and then and reading a good book.
