I'm not really thinking right now.

I have been super busy exploring this little town. There is so much to do. Cape Town is not a city, it really is more like a town. It's so homely and friendly and small. I really feel like I'm on holiday all the time, even though I have been really busy with work too. 

I know that winter is coming soon, and it's going to hit HARD, so I am enjoying the summer as much as I can until the rains and the colds come. The sick kids, the wet laundry, indoor life... I am not excited. So I'm doing summer right now, in a big way. My new favorite finds are "The Power & The Glory" and "Timeless Toys". We need to go back on Saturday to get a very special Molly a nice birthday present. I made her walk around the store and show me five things that she likes, so I have a good idea on what to get. I'm bonkers about that girl!

I also checked out an amazing school for the boys, and I have waitlisted them for next year if they even get in then. I will really just cry and die if they don't get in next year. I am totally sending the headmaster flowers and gifts until she folds. Yes, I am 'that' parent. I went and spoke to them personally, with my friendliest face. The boys NEEEEEEEEED to be in that school. I am so stressed about it. If they don't get in next year, I would rather keep them at home and home school them I swear. Nowhere else will do anymore. And it would mean that they would be in the same school together from next year to standard five or whatever grade they're calling it these days. I am so stressed about it. Really. I've never wanted something for them this badly.

I have loads of other news, but I can't think today. There is too much going on and I'm trying to be all relaxed and organized, and I'm trying to keep all my special memories and not lose them in the busy-ness. I want to remember all of this, these are the best years of my life. My twenties. In a beautiful city, with my super special children that are doing so many awesome and interesting things right now. I don't want to forget any of this.

I'm also in JOHANNESBURG next week! What? Yes. It's madness. Oh hell, it's almost dinner time -I should go!
