Someone please give me a hairclipper...

When I was young (ger) a mullet was a horrible haircut that nobody in their right frame of mind would be seen dead in.  Now it seems fashionable somehow and wherever you look, there are boys with bad hairstyles...

If you are a mommy and wife (like me) you will soon realise that television is not something that you can decide on.  In my house the telly only really switches between two channels, Ceebeebies (Liam's choice) and 200 and on, Gerhard's gazillion sports channels.  Mom never gets to decide what we watch in our house, she is a guuurl...can you hear Liam in that last sentence...

Well, there are some similarities between the two channels, the first one is that there are quite a number of stuffed characters on both.  Liam's characters are called cute names like the Tweenies, the Telletubbies etc.  Gerhard's little characters do not have names, but they are also stuffed animals, I have seen a little blueish bull, a lion, a shark - rather cute, but not as cuddly as Liam's.

The second similarity is the fact that Liam and Gerhard both zone out when watching their respective stuffed animals.  Both also scream at the telly in equal amounts, Liam says friggen and Gerhard says something else, starting with the same letter of the alphabet.

The thing I really want to talk about today though is the fact that the people on Gerhard's channel (mostly blueish dressed rugby players) and the characters on Liam's channel all have equally appalling haircuts!

Do yourself a favour and google "Tweenies".  Now take a good hard look at these little guys.  Now google "blue bulls rugby players images".  Take a close look at Francois Hougaard does not have the exact same hairstyle as one of the tweenies (the one with the yellow hair right).  Look at Wynand Olivier, Victor Matfield, all look like Tweenies. 

Now if someone can just give me some hair clippers, I would just kill to give Francois Hougaard a trim, short backs and sides.  Are you rugby players or are you tweenies man!

I had a stunning Louis Vuiton Bag

I love handbags, I am crazy about them, I would forgo food for a good handbag.  Everybody has a 'thing' and mine simply happens to be handbags.  Big ones, small ones, madly expensive ones and el cheapos that you get at the flea market, grey ones hand crafted by old ladies at the old age home, shiny metally ones.  I love handbags. Well guess what?  No, not that Guess, not as in the handbag...I now have a diaper bag.  A red one, and it needs to double as my handbag.  There is just no way in hell that I can manage a two (almost three!) year old, a two week old, a diaper bag and a handbag, something had to give and in this case, it was my poor almost new chunky Louis Vuiton bag.  I miss it already... The thing is, when you have a baby, some things are just not meant to be. At least this time around, I have managed to paint my nails (all of them, fingers and toes) twice, and I have worn make up on at least four separate occasions.  With Liam a...

Hello from Sydney...still feels weird to call his home now

We arrived in Sydney without too much drama, kids were generally good on the plane and we even managed to get some much needed sleep.  A twelve hour plane ride followed by a one hour shuttle to our lovely temporary home in Elanora Heights and an extended four hour wait for Gerhard followed, no phone this side as he had to take mine. That meant that I got rather frantic at one stage waiting for him. Safe to say that in typical paranoid Niki state, I actually marched the two kids off to the next door neighbor's house and borrowed a phone... The sun here sets after 8, so we went to Woolworths (where else) last night. Ate dinner at 10, all in bed at midnight. Liam, Luka and I slept like babies, by the grace of some paracetamol for the two smalls and a sleeping tablet for mommy...imagine my surprise when we woke after 8 this morning. So today the fun bit starts, big shopping! Gerhard needs a laptop and printer, we need cellphones, a car, a house, furniture, I was born for this.  ...

Liam and growing up

It struck me about five minutes ago how fast Liam has grown up since I fell pregnant with Luka.  Let me use an example, Gerhard had to leave the house really early this morning to go and play golf.  Liam is still a bit phlegmy, so he is still nebulised morning and evening - Gerhard's job.  Refer to previous posts about pregnancy paranoia and you will clearly understand that there is just no way in hell that I can nebulise Liam. So this morning the two of us eat our breakfast and then its time to nebulize, and I tell Liam he will just have to do this on his own, poor thing.  So there is my two year old boy sitting on the couch nebulising himself, my heart actually broke into pieces. He also got his very first set of golf clubs yesterday, not the plastic variety but mini golf clubs in a proper bag.  He is just so chuffed with himself!  He actually called his Oupa Hansie yesterday to show him his golf clubs (over the phone yes).  He could not con...
