Ah, the good life

Well, it's been a bit of a roller coaster lately. I've finished helping out/doing the temp thing, and they've now got a true full-time new person coming in. And, man, am I glad. I'm so looking forward to going back to just being wife and Mum. I'm so happy that we will no longer have rushed mornings trying to get kids, and Dad and Mum out the door all at the same time.

Leaving my helping out/temp thing was bitter sweet. I was happy to be finished, but I've become attached to some of the folks I've been with. And of course, the lovely camel picture and massive bouquet of flowers I was given was really an amazing little surprise.

It's been a lovely day here. We had a 'family clean-up' around the house so we are no longer living like swine. We've had a very nice evening. Excellent friends of ours have been here for dinner. Actually, as I type this up, my good friend (I'll call her K) is sitting here at the table with me. She's trying to finish a paper that is due (she's working on a master's), and I'm blogging. The pack of children (Dad's included) are happily piled into the living room playing Lego Star Wars for Wii. It's a good life.

The house that we are building back in the home country with my parents is in full swing. We all just hope and pray that things get finished up a bit before the winter break. That way, we will all actually be able to spend time together!

Peace.
