..to show the love in your life today that you care.

Wash their car, buy their favourite dessert, rub their feet, send them a bunch of flowers. Just anything out of the ordinary to show them that you took the time today and thought of them and wanted to show them how much you care and appreciate them.

We often fall into a rut with the important people in our lives and forget to show them how much we love them.

So, take 5 minutes and show the love today!

* Can be your Husband, Wife, Lover, sibling or best friend…Anyone that makes your world a better place to live in.

I am sooo SEXCITED I dont know what to do with myself!

I love getting older and I love my Birthday.. it means more to me than most people realise!

1. I get Pressies..
2. People who I NEVER hear from phone to wish me..
3. Its an excuse to party..
4. I get Pressies..
5. I do a little dance at the fact that I have survived another year despite the continues hits being made on my life..
6. I get to be a princess for a day..
7. Have I mentioned that I get Pressies??

I know quite a few people who dislike this day of birth celebrations.. But I am obviously not one of them. I embrace this age of mine and have to say that I have only really felt like I began living at 30.

I think the 20’s were ok..But it was abit like having all the gear with no idea..

But the 30’s definitely ROCK!!  I not only have the gear, but I have mastered all the techniques that go with it!!

Cant wait till I reach my 40’s!! Then All hell will break loose!! Wooohoooo!!! <–World Domination People!!

So on the 1st of September 2009 I will be 35..

..35 years of laughing, crying, living, enjoying, embracing, fighting, opinionated rebellious MAYHEM!

And I want to just thank everyone for being fabulously awesome in sharing the past 35 years with me. Thank you for being you and allowing me to be me..

Mwah! Mwah! Mwah!

(I wont even talk about the BIG RED BOX thats been teasing me for the past few days!!)

SexyG has put me in suspenders..and not the hold your pantihose up type either.. more like the look at what I got you but you cant open it type.

He went to collect my Birthday Pressie last night (while I waited at Panarotti’s, very patiently I might add all the while knowing he was up to something …) and told me that as he knows how difficult it is to keep secrets from me and surprise me and everything that he decided to show me the box with one condition attached.. I am not allowed to open it!

That’s Cruel..dont you think?? Its soooo pretty with a Giant Red Bow and it feels HEAVY!! But that could be a trick too.. He is very very sneaky sneaky like that!

Plus Plus Plus.. he didn’t even glue the lid down or anything!! The lid can just accidentally knock off..you know what I mean!? No fault of mine, obviously

10 Days!!! 10 Frikken Days of waiting, watching and tormented guesswork!!

I may not survive this…

And this post has absolutely nothing to do with that..

What I am going to write about is Selfishness

Are you selfish? Do you only think of ONLY yourself in combined situations? Do you know someone who doesn’t consider you at all when making decisions or when acting out? Do you eat your sweeties in the toilet at work so that you don’t have to share? Do you expect people to open a door for you only to let it swing back and hit them in the face? Are you always looking for the next big score at someone elses expense? When you make a cup of tea, do you offer to make for others? Does your brother/sister/lover/mother always expect you to come running when they call but don’t even find the time to check if your alive the rest of the time? Do your friends always pick your brain for information or continually ask for favours but are nowhere to be found when YOU actually need them?

What do you do when you are confronted by situations where you are once again asked to make comprises for another? How do you deal with it when you are constantly expected to “take one for the team”?? Do you speak up and get told that because of you there will no longer be any (add shit here) and are you happy now?? Or do they tell you to stop whining and get with the program? Or are you like me and just keep quiet in the hopes that ONE DAY, ONE DAY they will notice you and take the things that are important in your life just as serious as the things that matter to them?

Are you the person that just takes and takes and takes and thinks its cool by the pool with your tool?

Well Fuck You!

…that is all

Something said this morning reminded me of a joke I used to tell back in the day when my skirts were shorter and the only typing I did was under duress from a stern Afrikaans teacher who had a propensity to whack me over the fingers with a ruler..

And upon remembering this joke I thought about sharing it only to come to a cruel reality that it just wouldn’t be as funny today as it was then! Why? I dunno really.. I think that people are less impressed by things and walk around with an attitude of been there-done that mostly. No one sees the funny side of life half as much as they used to and slapstick is very UnPC. I however laugh at EVERYTHING and am often found laughing at EVERYONE too. I spend most of my time looking for the next giggle.. creating my own if need be.

Am I the only one that has noticed this? Are we soo jaded that a simple joke will leave us waiting for the punchline long after it has been delivered? I hope I never forget my ability to laugh at the simple things and never lose my smile.

Just for interests sake here is the joke I remembered this morning.. Would you laugh if someone told this joke to you today?

Van Der Merwe was a notorious Bank Robber. He was feared by many and took the cash from the tellers with ease.

His Modus Operandi was to walk into the bank drop his trousers and SHOUT out “WHO WANTS TO FIGHT WITH THE BULLDOG!?” What met the crowd was a an ordinary looking man with an extraordinary penis, his penis was soo large it was bigger than both his legs combined and was soo muscular it pulsated with energy between his legs. It scared everyone into surrender. No one wanted to see what the “bulldog” was capable of!! Ppl were soo frightened that if they were asked afterwards what he looked like no one could recollect, his penis got a lot of mention though..

And so Van Der Merwe went from bank to bank, dropping his trousers and asking “WHO WANTS TO FIGHT WITH THE BULLDOG!?”. Each and everytime no one messed with him or his “Bulldog” and just handed over the money which he promptly collected and left with.

Until the one day Van Der Merwe walked into the FNB situated in the heart of Orkney. He walked in, dropped his drawers and shouted “WHO WANTS TO FIGHT WITH THE BULLDOG!?” .. Gasping was heard  all round.. when suddenly the room cleared to the left and a Dik Tannie (Thick Aunty) stomped forward.. grinning from ear to ear, lifted her blue and yellow sundress/tent and said “VAT HOM FLUFFY!!!”

So what is it that causes my children to do everything in their power to drive me to points of mental meltdown??

It is almost seasonal with extreme moments bringing me to this fragile point where all I want to do is grab my handbag, jump on a plane and SMS them from Tahiti. I haven’t yet gone running and screaming for the border primarily due to SexyG hiding my passport (again, he sees the flight instinct kick in before I do..lol!) from me but also because I am first and foremost a mom and we never(almost never) leave the kids behind..but it doesn’t stop me from wishing for tall multi-coloured alcoholic beverages served to me on a quiet beach in another country where kids are afraid to enter for fear of getting shot.

Funny thing is… They don’t even realise what they do to me even though I am found scrounging the kitchen cupboard for drugs that will make me as numb as possible..The drool hanging off my lip and the manic look in my eye isn’t even enough to make them stop…

I am tired, just so tired. Why don’t they see this? Why are they still shouting at each other? Why are they ignoring my pleas for peace? Why is the bathroom towel lying in the passage? Can someone please flush the toilet? Assignments are due, PUT DOWN THE FUCKEN PS2 controller before I throw the whole fucken thing into the pool! Stop whining..stop acting shocked..stop talking back to me.. stop sulking..stop stop stop sToP STOP STOPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!

S.N.A.P !!!!!

Its done, they have finally broken the momma..I go to my room and cry myself to sleep not sure of what I am doing that is soo wrong with them.. Do I not love them enough? Do I not give them enough? Do I not discipline them enough? Do I discipline them too much? Do I expect too much from them? Do they expect too much from me? Must sleep now.. when I wake up it will have all been a bad dream.

When I wake up they are still there.. but quieter. They heard the sound of my sanity break and are walking on eggshells. Because they don’t want me completely broken.,I will be useless to them then wont I?

But from this point on the buildup starts up all over again..until mommy goes snapperoony, and so on the cycle of events continue.. Bastards.

One Day though.. One Day I will find my passport has been hidden and all they will see is dust and hear the tone of my SMS as it arrives in their inbox ..
