So this is how it feels, we are on our last legs in the 'happy family truck' and I for one, try not to think about it too hard... it's amazing how quickly one get into a routine and how that creates security!
As we are into the final cleaning days, and as you can see I am moving in the background (for a change) got 'Princess Pople' to wash the floor!! and seeing is believing!
Looking around for the rest of my troops was not easy until I heard this familiar noise in the bedroom, some snoring??? Great!
I think at that stage, I could happily eat my bottle of tonic, what happened to those famous South African Saturday afternoons, lazily sipping away on a GIN and a tonic!
Homework is still one of the important parts of the kids daily routine, although with a face like this, I could really fly Karen and Oliver (the Pros) over for a couple of days, how do you guys do it? Do you ever have dark thundering, murderous thoughts??
Well, on the last night in the RV, the slaves finally did one wash up without attracting any bears, and breaking half of the crockery.
Oblivious as ever, jumping at his chance (while the coast is clear) to quickly get at the blog, the famous 'ghost writer?'
Having said that, after he saw the luggage and what was accumulated on a NON-shopping trip (had to go and buy an extra bag, and that really send his karma the other way) I am sure my traumatized other half wished he was a ghost!!
But all that had nooooo effect on me, as I sadly had to say goodbye to a great experience, and while I was sitting there in the hot sun, looking at my no-more fingernails, and my family (that looked like they grew out of their clothes, in just 4 weeks??), I realised how fortunate we are, to be able to be doing this, and walk away with the a strong feeling of closeness and a better understanding of each other........
