Happy Weekend 2!!

I had completely forgot to post my Happy Weekend post on Friday. So instead of me telling what I was planning on doing, I'll just share what I did do this weekend!! ;)

My weekend was farely boring, didn't do much!! But it was a good weekend!! =)

Friday:

I thought I was never going to get through Friday. My boss made me wake up at 5:00 am, which for the past few weeks has not been my alarm time!! So that was a struggle.

But I got done and went with my boss to his Physiotherapist appointment, which by the way is a lady that weighs 45kg and gave Wimpie blue marks on his back. Poor Man!! :(

After that we went out to our working site's to do site visits. But I was mad enough to wear to wear heels!! I mean, really all that walking. My poor feet were killing me!! But yes, I did survive!

After a very busy day, the family and I decided we would go out for supper!!
And so, Friday came to a end!!

Saturday:

We are busy building a pool at our house, so we had to work on Saturday, or not work but supervise!! ;)

But we had a quick stop to make at the post office, to go and collect my dress from Miss Molly Fashions. I was so excited!! And I love the dress, it's a perfect fit!! =)

After that, we headed home where I drank a insane amount of Beer and still stayed sober!! Must've been the sun... :)

Then we went for a braai at the family's!! Nothing better than ending your Saturday with, Red Wine, Red Meat and great company!!

Sunday:

Sunday was a very lazy day... Was slightly hungover because of the beer & red wine!!

But we didn't do nothing for the whole day... My son being the most energetic on Sunday washed the bike & car.

 I have such a lovely kid!! =)

But the Main Event on Sunday was that I the very undomesticated cooked dinner!! =)

That was my weekend!! Nothing better than having your family with you, enjoying the days and making memories!!

How was your weekend??

Happy Monday.

Well technically, it's not Monday yet. But most of you will only read this tomorrow.

10:06 am on a Sunday night, lying in my bed listening to music. Thoughts running through my head, good thoughts, happy thoughts!! I'm so happy where I am in life right now, I'm Blessed, loved and I'm ME!

Each day I wake up, I thank God for everything I have. Today, I really understand why I had to go through all those hard times. Not because I was being punished, or because I was hated. But because He wanted me to appreciate what I have today. And I do!!

The Best thing is, my life can only get better from here.

The other day I had a conversation with someone, I told him that my mind was telling me that I would never be loved by someone again. He said that it wasn't for my mind to decide, but for my heart. And when I love again, I'll know.

Being negative used to be my daily routine, I'd always see the wrong or the bad in everything. But now, I see only the good. And if something bad does cross my path, I just say to myself "this too shall pass".

So friends, HAPPY MONDAY!!

Life is Great!!

French.

Salut! (Hello)

For you that haven't heard or seen, I signed up for French classes!!
I kid you not. So, Bienvenue (Welcome) to my first atempt of trying something different!! 

My classes are by correspondence, so I will surely struggle a bit. So please be patient, and feel free to correct me!! All help is welcome.

This is only for fun, so if I do by any chance fail... I'll then study German or Latin!! But I will somehow learn something!!

Bonne nuit (Good Night) my friends...

Last Chance!

Today I received a email from a friend with a lovely poem... I just thought I'd share it with you, because it touched my heart and just maybe it will touch yours too!

If I knew this was the last time that I'd see you fall asleep, I would've done more to cover you warmer at night.

If I knew it would be the last time that I saw you leaving out that door, I would've given you a hug and a kiss and called you back for just one more hug.

If I knew it would be the last time that I'd hear your voice, I'd have recorded it on a tape recorder and played it over and over again.

We live as if there is still a lot of time to do all the things we really want to do. 

But Today was Really Your Last Chance!

I know we don't want to think of it as our last chance, but we never really know what tomorrow holds for us!

I know I've been planning my life ahead these past few months, but after this I know now to do what I want today! I might not have tomorrow...

My real mother passed away 2 years ago, and I still have so much I needed to say to her. But I never got that chance! As I stood there at her funeral, all the doubt and pain I had in me just vanished. I knew all the questions I had for her, will stay unanswered forever! But what hurt me the most, was the fact that I couldn't tell her how proud I was that she was my mother and that I forgave her for giving me up for adoption... And that I loved her!!

So today, I will tell everybody in my life what they mean to me!! I'm Blessed to have been able to wake up this morning, I'm Blessed to have Friends and Family.

So To Who Ever is reading this post, Thank You!!

I Try!

In life, we strive to be accepted. To fit in somewhere. To be liked. To be loved!

And when these certain things don't happened, we seem dissapointed or like a failure.
Maybe I'm just talking from personal experience.! But friends, recently I noticed how much I try... Try to be accepted, liked and loved!! And it just feels like I'm trying too hard!!

And all this trying has made me tired... I have awesome people in my life right now, and they love me for who I am!! That's enough to keep anyone going!!

I have a beautiful, healthy son. He loves me more than words can describe!!

And I have friends, even if I don't see them everyday or talk to them everyday. I know they are there for me!!

So from today, I'm not trying anymore!! I am who I am... Love me, or hate me. That's your problem!! But I'm my own person, and I live by my own rules!!

Thank You to EVERYBODY who is in my life right now!!

Life is Short.

Last night we went to go see Wimpie's mother in the hospital. She has been in the ICU for the past week, but it's going so much better with her now.

But as I was sitting next to her hospital bed, I couldn't remove my eyes from all the machines and stuff in the hospital room. I felt tears running down my cheek, and I noticed I was shedding silent tears of prayer!

When someone says that one of there family members is in hospital, you always say "Hope they get well soon". But last night it hit me, that when your own family member is lying there... So much goes through one's thoughts!! You open your eyes and heart to so many different emotions!

Wimpie's mother then mentioned that two ladies in the same ICU ward had passed away the previous evening... Everything inside me froze!! Two woman I had seen the previous evening had passed away, right there next to Wimpies mother.!! That's when it struck me, Life is Short. We can never say when our time will come...

We take so much for granted, we all think the world owes us... Friends, NO! We owe it to ourselves and our loved ones to cherish ever moment we have on this earth, have to remind ourselves, that all our earthly things doesn't mean anything without our loved ones!! And in the blink of an eye, we can loose so much!!

Every night we go to Bed,without any assurance of being alive the next morning but still we set the Alarm to wake up.! That's called HOPE.!

Just a small post, to let you all see how my vision changed last night!!

Happy Saturday!!

My Son; Tiaan J. Visagie!

Today I have decided to blog about my gift from above... If you have been reading my blog, you will know I am a proud independent mother of a 4 year old boy... Tiaan J. Visagie!!

When I was 17, end of Standard 9 I found out I was pregnant... I was so dissapointed! All I could think about was my parents dissaproval, my matric year and the fact that I was so young.

But someone told me, that God would never give me something I couldn't handle, and I grew to love the idea of having a baby!! And today I wouldn't regret my son in any way.

So I went to matric, pregnant! My parents approved and said they would support me all the way. And in the end my age didn't matter!!

I enjoyed the pregnancy, but having to walk with a kicking baby for 41 weeks was no joke at all... As Tiaan grew inside me, I grew more mature!! I had to grow up quickly.! But it taught me some valuble lessons.

On 02/08/2006 Tiaan J. Visagie was born.
I was so proud, I had a healthy little angel! My Own Gift to The World...

Here are some pictures just to show how much my little baby has grown in the past 4 years...

He used to laugh so hard... Those cheeks!! Cute, isn't he?

He also had his moody moments!!

If I say so myself, I have a Beautiful Child. =)

Recent photo of him... See how much he's grown!! I have every right to be proud of my son!!

Mommy loves you my boy...

Friends!

When I was younger I was never popular, I was rather the odd one out in school! If I had to repeat the things some girls called me, you'd be horrified! I always try and not think of it, but sometimes I try and recall some good things about my childhood! Funny thing is I don't remember anything good! I had a few friends in school, but we were a odd group! Always out to hurt each other or gossip about one another! Never really do the good thing and help one another! So today at the age of 22, sad to say I don't have many friends! But recently I've been making new friends, and also learning the true meaning of friendship! My life coach and always a lady I am proud to call a friend told me that I should never live in this past, only make memories of today! So to everybody that is in my life, thank you. To the people who aren't, your loss! And to those to come, I hope we have awesome times! To My Boss, thank you for being my best friend!!! XoXo

Pet Shop.

A few months ago my boss bought a Pet Shop. I was super excited but also scared, since I didn't know a thing about Reptiles, Fish or Birds...

But in these past few months I have learnt a lot, and enjoyed my job. Some people find it weird to work with snakes and stuff, but I got a thrill out of it...

My boss also has another business, and while he was trying to run both at the same time, we lost track of the other business... So now my boss has decided to sell the Pet Shop.!!

I was sad at first, but I've come to a understanding that some things happened in life, that we have no control over... I will miss my job dearly, but I'm grateful for the past few months.! I learnt so much, and I enjoyed every second of it...

I'll always have good memories of the Pet Shop, like getting bitten by a snake and surviving it... Or pulling off the Iguana's tails ( which was the defense against me ) I cried, I felt so bad.!!

But all those memories will remain with me, and now I can give my full attention to my other work and even studies!!

Life works in funny ways... The Pet Shop taught me a lot about myself!!
So I'm also happy that my adventure at the Pet Shop has come to a end!!

No Tears, Only Smiles...

Monday.

Today being the first Monday of the Year 2011, was absoluty terrible!! I really did expect more out of this day... How ever, Monday did dissapoint me!!

It's not like I always have Blue Mondays, you see Monday is just another day of the week for me... Working 7 days a week, I sometimes lose track of the days!!

But today really feels like a Blue Monday... Starting from this morning 6:15am!! I overslept in the first place, I was supposed to go jogging.!! Then I shaved knicked myself on the leg while shaving... Had to rush to get done!!

Got to work, and finding the shop helper didn't pitch for work again, second day!! Now still work has been lame all day!! Nothing exciting!! And to top it all off, it's raining... And I wanted to go for a jog after work!!

Maybe I'm just cranky because of the detox I started today... Or Monday just was not my day!

Please Tuesday, be good to me??!!

Belief..!

Everything is possible if you just believe.

I watch my son each day as he play's with his imaginary friends... Sometimes I think he's crazy, other times I wish I was his age again!! I still remember the times when I was young, and everytime my mother and father got into a fight... I would start imaging this perfect life for myself.!!

But I also promised myself, that my life would never be the same as their's... I love my parents a lot!! They took me in, when no one else wanted me!! But we all know, all families have their problems and dark secrets... Mine just had more than I thought!!

As those secrets starting revealing themselves as I grew-up, I started fearing the rest that was still hidden... I was brought up from a young age, knowing that life was not a fairytale.!! But I always imagined it was... That's what kept me going, when times got hard!!

But today, I can turn around and say... All those nights I hid under my bed, made me stronger!! Those days in dark, made me appreciate the light more!!

I will never hold those things against my parents... Never!! I always questioned why I had to be adopted, why I had to come from a broken home... But when my real mother passed away in 2009, I knew!! She never had control over my future... She did love me!! Although I held it against her and my real father fro so long, I finally accepted it...

I do believe anything is possible!! I believed and imagined, that I would be happy someday... And TODAY I am!!

I still believe... And always will!!!

First Post in 2011..!

While some are still relaxing, or even still hanging after their New Years parties... I AM AT WORK!!

I am not complaining... #justsaying!!

I keep clicking my heels three times but when I open my eyes I'm still at work..must have grabbed the wrong shoes! Ha-Ha!!

For most of you, your holiday's are coming to a end... Hope you all enjoyed it though!! For those of you, that had to work... We will also have our time for fun!! ;-)

Happy Sunday!!
