Routine: Kick in why don't you?

I never thought that I'd utter these words so soon... I mean, only last week I was still enjoying my leave cycle... but now that I'm back at work I just blurted it out this morning:

When is my routine kicking in again?


This  morning it was just one too many for me... I struggled to get out of bed, almost missed my train (as I use public transport). Its like there is not enough time in my day - the weekend just flew passed and I was unprepared for the Monday morning rush to get things done. Hopefully it will all just fall into place again... I just wanna play it safe and not bore myself in an old routine again... I should try and leave some space for a bit more family time, going out, exploring, etc.

But we know not all routines are flexible, right? So, what can you suggest?

I survived my holiday!

WOW! Its been a while since I put anything up in here.. .that's bad. I love this space so much - but at times once must ensure you upload other places as well. My annual leave eventually came to an abrupt end - and I was forced to go back to work yesterday, 17 October... Hey, I need that monthly salary! And it only comes in if you put in a few hours at work, hey? If someone out there can find me another way to make an income that not so time consuming I'll be all ears! LOL!

Now I can finally say: I survived my holiday. Pity that the wifey and kids only had one week to spare with me. But I quite enjoyed the time we had together - quality time is better, right? We decided to focus on the younger girls that week... took Jojo (Jodie 'n Jordan) to Bugs World.


Its quite a fun place for a child - I'd say its better if the child is a bit older like Jodie (5-10 yrs) needing not too much assistance from the parents... we spend the better part of the day there (arrived before 10 am and left almost closing time!). Haven't seen the kids that tired since last summer with all the swimming! Even Revano got in on the act and shot a few paint balls towards some targets!



As it was leave time I thought about visiting an old friend. I always thought he lived in Piketberg, on the N7 - but found him in Citrusdal of all places! PJ - Thanks for the opportunity to visit you and your family. We surely enjoyed ourselves... especially when we opted to sleep over and hastily had to arrange for accommodation... but thanks to a fast internet search (thanks SA-Venues.com) we came across a gem of a place called Olifantsrus. We took the Self-Catering Package where we stayd by ourselves in a lovely seperate entrance of some sort.


I still enjoyed a few days rest at home after the fun times we had... But I must say... It was an unforgettable experience... something the family will remember for quite a while... Roll on December - another break away will do us some good!
