lazy dayzzz :)

its sunnnnnnyyyyy and warm and beautiful here today!!! i'm love love loving it. i have today off and so far i've done not too much. I got my laptop working finally and it works like a hot dang!! hurray! and i walked the property and took some pictures of the place. soooo i will start putting them up!!!

I also now have some pictures of the kids so if you want to see them please post here and give your email address and i will make a list of people to email them to.

I just wanted to thank everyone who has been commented on my blog. this is a way for me to talk to you and i so appreciate the response. it makes me feel loved...... and not forgotten!! :)

so..... yesterday i worked the afternoon shift. this was my third shift and its getting better and better everytime. i'm getting to know the regular caregivers and i'm getting the routine down. so its feeling less and less like a duck out of water! im in love with the kids of course. they are all just so cute in their own ways. getting to know their personalitys and so on is so much fun. Last night the meal wasn't quite prepared yet so the caregiver let me do all the babies baths. thats the four that are under 1 year. OHHH so much fun!!!!!! have i mentioned that i'm in heaven??? actually what with doing the babies and then doing the other kids afterwards i was bathing from 330 to five! haha. thats a lot of bathing!!

after i got off work at 7, i walked across the way to a braai that i was invited to by one of the ladies that lives here on the property. i have no idea what kind of meat i actually ate but it was LEKKER! i also got to try braai breckies, which are basically sandwhiches grilled on the braai (barbecue) its really hard to describe tho because a braai looks nothing like a barbecue that you guys would think of. its much bigger and more open and its all charcol i'm pretty sure. so its really tasty. anyways the sandwhiches had all kinds of things on it, cheese, tomato, onion and some sort of yummy sauce. they were goooood!

afterwards i wandered next door to Tumi's and watched a cricket match with him and another fellow. i now understand that it is incorrect to ask 'who is winning' or 'who is loosing'. i will decide later if i like the game it or not... its gonna take a few games to understand the rules. but South Africa lost and that was a bummer! What i know for sure is that while i'm here, all sporting events, I'M SOUTH AFRICA ALL THE WAY! lol

Today is my day off so i'm just chillen
