I am just me..... e

{for my dad & extended family}

7 sleeps to go !!!

{ROLLER-COASTER}

ROLLER-COASTER. That is my word for the month. It is exactly how I would describe this last few weeks. It has been so hard organising all of the things that go with relocating a large family, but I am sitting here on this cool Monday morning awaiting the impending arrival of Crown. It is charged with emotion. It is sad that we are leaving this place. This area is rich in many ways, and we all feel that we have not really scratched the surface. My eldest left a week ago and then last night we put the middle 2 on a plane to the North to make this next few days easier for ourselves. tINGED WITH SADNESS AND CHARGED WITH EXCITMENT. tHIS RIDE IS ONE YOU CAN'T FIND AT A THEME PARK!

The boxes will soon mount up around us. We will leave the house today and let the guys do their thing. When we return we will have our lives in boxes....again....remember that layout?

Take care everyone, and we will chat on the other side of the ditch.

Hugs hugs

{where are the days going?....anyone?}

It is like we have all of a sudden lost the last 10days. It was not that long ago we were talking to the children and now here we are....counting down. Packers arrive monday to start the pack. I have sold 3 cars, finished work, looked for houses, and schools, had a grage sale, and cleaned out and thrown stuff out of almost evern room in the house. It is enough to describe me as completely and utterly scattered. I am shattered. Like bone chilling tired. Like Joel waking every night for hours tired. I look 90.......but.......I know it will all be worth it. It will be fabulous!

Today my girl turned 10! My baby girl. It is crazy. She was so thrilled when she opened her pressie from all of the family & her grandies to see her most wanted pressie.....Ipod. She is on cloud 9, and I wish I could join her.

I sent out loads of emails tonight ( with not allot of luck I have to say) with all of the new address details etc, but sadly loads of them bounced. If you have not recieved yours please email me and I will happily resend to you. Our temp house in Perth is lovely......check this out.

reckon it is just a shame we can't stay here right....lol

Well. Must fly. Have tonnes to do tonight and already it is 10.20pm....gunna be a late one again.

It is a great way to describe my brain right now. All the things to think of and take care of but actually I kinda feel like today it will come together. Till now I thought I was just chasing my tail round in circles.

3 cars sold which is a huge relief for me. I was trying to think about what the heck I would do with vehicles if there were any left when we needed to leave....just didn't find a good idea for that. Now they have sold and we can move on to the next thing. Craig has a date at last to start the new job. June 9th. It seems so close. The kids will finish school on the 23rd and they will all go north to get out of the way of the packers. Joel Craig & I will remain and sign off the container & then fly north hopefully on the 27th......that is the plan.

Madness......I never thought this would be hapopening now. I feel like I have so many things unfinished here.

Anyhow....we are stil alive......just not kicking as hard as we woiuld normally.

hugs all....check in again soon.
