hurt and humiliated

Good morning

As you all know we are moving and lately I’ve been having some problems at work …

It’s like everyone is trying so hard to find fault with anything you do …

I have felt hurt, small and humiliated by all of this, and my ‘BOSS’ treats me like a dog and scream and shout at me in front of all the staff members , because he is never wrong and you are not allowed to ever make a statement or defend yourself… oh no he is the only one who is allowed to say / scream what he wants to… 

I am so glad now that I am leaving if I had any doubt I don’t anymore … after today I have 2 more days left of working!!! 

It makes a person so upset when you give your all to a company in every sense possible, and then when you try and better yourself you are trash , not good enough and then everything that you have done and been to the company is not even taken into consideration you are just plain trash!!! 

They don’t even think about the good that has been done. 

How many phone calls you get even when you on leave , late hours and weekends spend working or helping … 

Makes a person sick, why do we allow ourselves to get treated like that …

Letter to my kids

time is running out

They finally found a replacement for me at work and I only have 5 working days left to train this person!!!

Feels like everything just getting too much , so much to do and time is running out a week from tomorrow  at this time we will be leaving east London J

Excitement and fear and everything at the same time.

Let’s see what this week brings!!!

Latte and hot chocolate !!!

this is when you have to wait outside home affairs in ques early in the morning just to try get out before the day is over!!!

Sailors punch !!! Try this !!!

something for my daughter

perfect day

forever be my always - my hubby

Wrinkles

Who would like a car like this?

fall in love

Weekend with my crazy bunch

My weekend started off at a slow pace and for a change it seemed like this could be a quiet night until my two kids who cannot seem to get along started fighting and turned a quiet evening to a ‘ not so quiet one’

Why is it that siblings never seem to get along , sometimes it feels like they are just spiteful and want to see how far they can take us parents.

My son used to be on Ritalin but we have taken him off the Ritalin as we did not see a difference between the days he had it and they days he did not.

I suppose it’s for the better that he is not on medication but we seem to not always know how to keep calm with him in the house, he is a busy body at the best of times!!! And rudeness would be an understatement!!!

My daughter is the total opposite she likes her privacy and keeps to herself, she is always willing to help and very caring. Except when it comes to her Brother!!!

So yeah the two of them together makes an explosion waiting to happen!!!

So as you all know I have been busy packing for the big move – one week to go , feels like I’m running out of time and there is just so much to still do.

So Saturday was supposed to be a day for packing – that did not happen .

We started off visiting my parents and then after that went to go see my brother and his wife and the kids, enjoyed the morning there and in the afternoon we had a little visit with my sister and family , it’s always nice to see the family.

My daughter got her puppy on Saturday and she was carrying her around like a baby the whole day – decided to call her LILO, ‘like really’ what kind of a name is LILO, but that’s what she likes.

So we only got home late on Saturday and turned the evening into a movie night! That did not work out as my daughter’s puppy needed to get a bed. She went to bed phone in one hand and puppy in the other, like the teenagers today they cannot go without their phones however I think the puppy kept her so busy she barely had time for the phone and kept her up right through the night and morning hours.

Sunday was supposed to be cleaning day and trying to get some packing done again, that never happened either.

So we were up and down and ended up visiting my granny for a bit before going home and then spend the afternoon doing washing and playing with the puppy as my daughter were needing to learn for exams, and chilling with my hubby where he was busy in the garage.

Evening was once again too busy and only got to relax after 8 pm

So another busy weekend came to an end , and Monday staring us in the face again.

And what a blue Monday it is – a good friend of my granny passed away this morning so that just put a damper on the day.

A bit more about myself and my family

I am married to an amazing man whom I love to bits and have two kids whom I cannot imagine my life without,my family is the center of my world… My inspiration…

So we have decided that it’s time to move on to make a better life for ourselves.I have recently been diagnosed with Chronic Asthma and my doctor seems to think that life at the coast is not for me anymore,so we will start our journey by moving away from the sea,oh how I will miss the coastal life,watching the kids play on the beach and watching my daughter surf her heart out,how many fun days we as a family spend at the beach,how many days I’ve spend admiring the view,smelling the water and feeling the breeze…

Now I will be like all the others who comes to visit once or twice a year and spend the entire holiday at the beach,maybe a person will appreciate it more when you spend holidays at the beach.

Funny how a person’s life always seems to take over and suddenly you don’t go to the beach anymore,you live your life everyday one day at a time and every now and again go to the beach,If I have to think back to before I lived at the beach I used to always say that ‘if I stay so close to the beach I would always be there',I moved here and life was amazing,then I started working and suddenly life is not so easy anymore,life demands so much from one person. 

I am excited about the move but also sad, sad to be moving so far away from my Parents,whom both are getting old.I’m Also lucky enough to still have my Grandmother.Then my Sister and her husband their baby boy was born on the 5th January this year and their other kids have been a big part of our lives and I love them dearly,my Brother and his Wife had their baby boy on the 4th May and they have another little girl hats too precious for words.I also have most of my family here.I want to be a part of the everyone’s lives.

But like my Husband said we will just have to come and visit a lot, I am blessed to have a husband like mine I think many woman wait most of their lives to find someone like my husband who supports any decision I make in life. 

I think we will be fine,and really enjoy the new opportunities we have,and grab it with both hands.

Life has treated us well and therefore we have nothing to complain about.

My kids and husband are really very excited about the whole move and I have to say so am I,I think we have a chance to make a good future for ourselves just wish I could take everyone with me… 

That is me for the day 

XOXO

Kids think adults are stupid

Kids think adults are stupid

Why is it that kids always think their parents are thick, dom or simply unable to think for themselves and they as the kids know better...

They ask their Dad for help first with homework cause Mom cannot do homework)and when He actually give them the answers they have the gaul to actually tell Him he are wrong and it should be this way...

Why the hell ask for help in the first place !!!
When he explain to them that they are wrong and your answer is correct; He get(Dad I know what I'm doing,) or (just leave it I will ask mom rather) or (this is not the way my teacher showed us)...

Oh and lying they will tell you something so convincing that they actually believe themselves and make you look stupid for doubting them...

What gives !!! 

Sorry Martin just had to use some of your words because this just hits so close to home!!!

my first blog

Friday, 13 May 2016

Well, here goes my first blog post ... as in ever ... I was told that blogging is a good way to get things off your chest, be able to rant and rave without the frustration of offending and just all in all to let off steam.

I suppose I goto get people to start visiting my blog and telling me what they think of my posts as I go along.

But just a little about myself to start with for now ... 

My name is Jo-Ann Landman and I am a wife, mother, step-mother, aunt to quite a bunch and I am loving every minute of it ... some days you feel like strangling the kids but they make it all worth while in the end and I could never start to imagine my life without them.

I am very open and enjoy having people around me , have conversations and just getting to know people.

Up until today I would never have thought that I would start a blog ! Me …I’m clueless when I have to start putting words down on paper, so I will just put my all into my blog and see how it goes.

Mostly I will be keeping a diary and telling everyone about my days as they go along , and sharing all my crazy families ups and downs
