Project management

I keep promising myself one thing that doesn't happen in a second, but that's one of my dreams. Right now as I'm sitting here, Cracking my head.My husband and I have a house that is sitting in South Africa without anyone taking care of it. Buglery/ crime has led it to this state. Not mentioning tanents who lets you down. As someone who lives in diaspora, far, far away from your homeland, it maked this again very hard to mend your home. Much as People can envy you/ your traveling the world, trust me, it's not nice. It consumes all your savings-correction, you don't save at all. The little you put asides, will help you buy a plane ticket once a year or twice in order for you to visit home and see your abandoned home. You think of selling it and you again think how much you have invested in the property and how much you will lose. Is it worth selling it, you ask yourself? Yesterday I convinced my husband that his month end I'm thinking of going home to renovate, so that we can get an agent to find a tenant, at least it will help us reduce our monthly expenses. I have forgotten one thing, that my son has turned two and he no longer pays 10 % of my flight fares, he is now paying 75%. So what now?, I can't afford to burn R 11000.00 on air. This is the very money I need to renovate than giving it to airlines. This is where I go back to my dreams of doing project management for people living in diaspora like me. At some point most if not all of us will want to go back home and live happy in a decent house. Much as you can't afford to visit home, but at least build. The question is, who is trustworthy to help you build while you are away? Like right now , I am asking myself he same question. Homework- I know I have too many dreams and I need to sit down and see which one is worth it. School , photography, fashion or Project management? As for now, I am looking for someone to project my house, the rest later.

Which part of my face says DUMB?

Which part of my face is written DUMB? They cleaned my room and took my earrings under the pillow. In a few sec, I remembered..."shut!, my earrings! ... Too late#. I called one to ask, she denies,and added by asking me if I am sure?' then pretend to call laundry, then tells me, they didn't see them either. Now I'm sitting here feeling Very very STUPID and PISSED. I'm trying to save them frm being fired. Am I too nice or still stupid? A hour later, I see them by the corridor, I asked again now the other partner in crime, she says no. My second question,now who made the bed between the two of you? The 1st one replies- both. I kept quite. The 2nd one started speaking with their native language. They said they are coming in to search...mhhhhh! Really? I left them and continued with the internet guy. Few second later, " mama Khaya! Come! They lifted my shoes next to the door and walla" they found them. Pshhhhh! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=489505441112299&set=a.379592722103572.92942.379247052138139&type=1&relevant_count=1 The next morning, guilt was all over her face when she came clean the room. She approaches me ...mama Khaya, I was just checking if all your belongings are there. I said, "don't even go there, I don't wanna talk about it". She then said, " you know with Khaya anything can happen" ...before she could even finish, my stomach was upset, my voice changes. I said to her. If the baby was playing with it, you would hv found one instead of both, so no I AM NOT STUPID! I've put them under the pillow, you mopped the floor, two ours later the earrings walked and hide under the shoes, where you have mopped, is that possible? Zee! " do you know I could have just reported you to your manager and you loose your job for a stupid earring that didn't cost much. But you were now going to sit at home for that? She then said , " I'm sorry about that". Last year same thing happened and I kept quite. Silly girls. Next time "ngtobanyatsela," gwa! Look who's talking.
