First off, I had a terrible thought on the way home today about the Honey Cake recipe. My Mom used to make it and I came across the recipe in a magazine ages ago. I don’t know which magazine, think it was a Your family or something. Please let me know what you thought of the cake though!
The reason I had this random thought was because someone I greatly admire, Tertia, was plagiarized again recently and I thought it was quite mad. I had this vision of someone suing me for copying their recipe. But I am a paranoid android.
Danielisms:
I was on the toilet over the weekend and for some reason this has become a family event.
Daniel: Poefie jy Mamma? (whilst standing REAALLY close to me)
Me: Ja my seun
Daniel: Mamma, jy moet nie in jou broekie poefie nie. (whilst trying to peek behind me into the toilet)
Me: Nee my seun
Daniel: Mamma, is jy klaar gepoefie? (Whilst trying to get on my lap) *Sigh*
slippers – pantoffels – tantoffels
Afrikaans song “Saai die Waatlemoen” – Daniels version: “Slaai die batlemoen”
In the last two weeks the children, hubby and myself have all been sick in some shape or form. Both Daniel and Mignon have been on antibiotics. Which means that we don’t sleep very well. Okay, we hardly farking sleep at all. By last week Friday I was so sleep deprived I was sitting at a client meeting praying that I don’t put my foot into it, which of course I ended up doing. Badly. But all is forgiven now.
I can cope with a lot, but extended lack of sleep does my head in. It was so bad I was starting to feel very depressed and getting a little worried about myself. But, last night was better (only up 3-4 times), so I felt a lot happier today.
Ha ha, no privacy for Mommies!
The privacy issue became a problem in our house at “that time of the month”. Tristan walked in once and asked why I’d pooed in my nappy *blush*! Since then we told him that going to the toilet is a private affair – for him too – and he’s been much better! He even chases us out when he’s on the loo now 😉
With you on sleep deprivation – strength to you 🙂
I am so with you on the sleep deprivation thing. It really is the worst thing ever.
Glad to hear that you are all getting better…

LOL!! Kids KNOW when we’re on the toilet, eh? 😀
😉
My friend’s son once said to me: “Mommy can’t come to the phone, she’s making a poo.” She was mortified, I thought it was hysterical.
Waatlemoen slaai?
Minki bangs down the bathroom door whenever me or Daddy goes in there, she wants to see everything.
LOL 😀 I love your Danielisms!
Hope that you will soon be less sleep deprived, I know the feeling to some extent, I only have one, take my hat off to you Tania, coping with 3.

Hope you get some sleep!
