Countdown

Monday was an early start as Sam needed to be at school for 6 ready to leave for his school trip to Canberra, the kids were all so excited, which is good, the adults were frozen, wet and tired. Anyhow as soon as they started ticking off names and allowed to board the coach he was off, no kiss, no good bye no nothing, just a wave from the window, which we couldn’t see very well as they were tinted. We have not heard from him, there is only contact in case of emergency, so no emergencies as yet. They fly back on Friday afternoon and I am sure he will be shattered.

Monday I should have been at work, but my lovely friend Hayley needed a baby sitter for Millie, Hayley is pregnant and her son is due very soon but she was told he was breach and could be turned on Monday, she had made arrangements with a different friend as I was rostered for a shift but was let down on Sunday night so I stepped in. I didn’t have to look after Millie long at all as the baby had turned himself over the weekend.

But that gave me an opportunity to sort Sam’s room, he is now moved in with Tom and his room is spotless and the new bedding ready for mum and dad. As this is a rental and a brand new house we can’t put anything on the walls so the rooms do look very bare, but it looks OK and has a corner window and lots of light for them, also lots of sun, so with no air con that might not be such a benefit, we will see.

Tuesday and Today have been work days, tonight I spoke with mum and dad who are virtually packed and ready to leave, they are going to look at on-line check in tonight to make it easier when they arrive at the airport.

We are all soo excited, Moo checks with me every day that nana and granddad are coming on Saturday, and even Tom walked in from college tonight and asked if I had spoken to them and said he can’t believe that they will be here at the weekend.

Unfortunately for nana and granddad they kids have SOOO much planned for them............ for this weekend, I keep trying to remind them that on our first night in Melbourne Sam was falling asleep in his food and they are going to be shattered too and we need to remember that for the first few days, they are here for 10 weeks afterall, and I am sure it will fly by, but we do have time to see and do lots of things and we will.
