Why Jason keeps waking up in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. No teeth are nearing eruption, he's over his ear infection and he's in the same place he has been for the last 3 months.
Whether or not to send Jason to pre-school in September. As a non-working mother why should I, but in the same breath, he hardly gets out of the house and plays with other children his own age and Nicholas is at school until 4pm most days.
What happened to my Peter Cincotti CD that was in the car on Friday. It's not there now...
Why Bonnie has suddenly started attacking Josie. If Josie comes within 50m of Bonnie there's an almighty fight and Josie ends up pinned to the floor, bleeding. As a result of this, Bonnie is spending the night at the USPCA because the vet wasn't there when I took her this afternoon.
Will Pick 'n Pay home shopping EVER sort their stupid website(s) out? I have changed my address to a Western Cape address because Mike will be there at the end of the month so he can bring some stuff back for me but....they are piloting a new website for my home shop but I can't logon or register there!!! I've sent snotty e-mails and even phoned them....alas, all I get is "I'll get back to you". Yar right.
Why I crave so much "me time". Am I being selfish? I love my kids to Pluto and back but sometimes I really just need a bit of time to potter about the house without having to worry about Jason getting hold of a crayon and redecorating the walls or Nicholas wanting a juice etc etc etc etc etc. Actually Nicholas is an absolute sweetheart that asks for nothing in return so why does he always end up taking the brunt of my dissatisfaction with life. Maybe it's because he has broken ears that only work after about 4 or 5 attempts to get him to do something. Grrrrrrrrr!!!
When Telkom will fix my mom and dad's adsl line. It's been over a month now!
Why Simon is soooo thin now. He seems to be eating ok, Rosie is fine and hasn't lost weight but little porky Simon is almost Skeletal now. His fur is still shiny and he's perky enough but Jason can pick him - thats how much weight he has lost.
Where we will be in five years / ten years / fifteen years? For now, I am happy for the boys to be educated in an international school but where will they go for their tertiary education? I never want to be more that an hour's drive from them so the prospect of them going to a university in England / USA / Australia or even SA fills me with dread. They say it gets easier as they get older to cut the strings....I can't see how.
Ok - I'm all wondered out. Thank you for "listening"

It doesn't get easier but it is just a different kettle of fish we deal with. We moved to the States when my son was not even two and my daughter was born here, now my son is 2 years from graduating high school and my daughter four. Now there is talk of studying in London, Paris and even Australia. And I wonder how am I supposed to split myself into two so that I can be with both my kids on opposite sides of the globe. Perhaps it would have been wiser to stay in SA and never travel becasue they have truly been "bitten" by the travel bug, so to say =0) I just learn to take it one day at a time.
That's a lot for one person's mind to handle! :)
I thought the plan was to only stay there for 10 years. That's one of the things bothering me about moving to Oz... if the kids decide to leave it will be FAR away from us. Very sad thought that!
