Interesting day

I had a very "exciting" day today. I agreed to be my niece's "client" this morning for her nail exam. She is studying cosmotology and I had to go to her yesterday for a while so that she could prepare my nails. I had to be in Parow at 08H30 this morning - that is very early for me! Shame she was very nervous but did a pretty good job on my one hand. She had to do one hand with tips and one with forms. The hand with the forms didn't come out as well as the other, but that didn't really bother me. She will now redo that hand for me this afternoon as I am going to stay her client for a while so that she can practice.

Afterwards I popped in by Stefanie to say hello to the ladies in her Tuesday class and then home to dirty dishes, dirty washing etc. It really sucks not having a maid everyday, but I think we have now adjusted to the new house cleaning "standard". So far I haven't done any ironing as my dear husband has been doing it - he really is very good to me!

This afternoon was spent teaching a class to my one student on a Tuesday. I actually quite enjoy it and two other little girls asked for forms as they would also like to do scrapbooking lessons. Don't have any plans for tonight so will just chill and get my washing dry - as some of you know, a housewife's day is never done!

What? Housework?

This is a photo of the party I did on Friday. Kids ages ranged from 6 to 12 and it was fun! I would rather do this than work in the corporate environment any day!

Yep it is official! As from 1 May (nogal Workers Day) I am officially the maid in the house. After having a full time domestic worker for the past 3 years, I now have to do it all myself. It is seriously going to cramp my social life! The only day this week that I will be home for the whole day is Thursday, and I am supposed to prepare for the weekend parties. But anyway, we will have to see how it goes. I already told the kids that they are responsible for cleaning their bedrooms and caravan (in Michael's case). So far I am finding just doing the washing a full time job!

We didn't have a very interesting weekend at all. Spent a lot of time organising my house the way I want it, sorting out cupboards etc. I can now see how half the maid really worked. We went to Rugby on Saturday and that at least was fun, although Colin actually got tickets to "entertain" one of his clients. The client didn't talk business at all, so that was fine. When Colin's section at work has a turn to get tickets they usually invite the clients with their wives, with the result that I also get to go.

That was it - boring, boring, boring!
