What a week! Life has been a whirl of packing boxes, paper, sticky tape and lots of dust as I sorted
through things at Myendetta. We are now happily residing at our new home in Toowoomba (which is tastefully decorated with an array neutral coloured of boxes, quite the look this season I believe!!).
It is amazing how moving forces you to sort through your ‘stuff’ and get rid of all the things you are keeping ‘just in case’. I am not sure if you do it, but I have found all sorts of things that I thought I might need again one day (including those ‘pre-children’ clothes that I know I will fit into soon). It also extends to the kitchen…Richard was forced to step in when I was complaining that I could not possibly fit all my baking trays into this tiny kitchen (read that as normal sized kitchen) – he pointed out to me in a kind and patient voice (the one you use with small, difficult children) that I no longer required 8 muffin trays as he doubted that I would be wanting 96 muffins in one bake up in the near future…one never knows though!!! Needless to say he completed a bit of a cull for me, and was good enough to put the trays at the back of the pantry, ‘just in case’, with guidelines that if they are not used in the next 6 months he was donating them (and many others) to Vinnies!
The boys are all off for their first day of school tomorrow at their new school – exciting times! I hope your school transition has gone smoothly, and if you are doing a boarding school run that it has been the best a drop off can be.
Until next week,
Wendy
Quote of the week: (thanks to Councillor Yvonne Jennings for this one)
“It is not women against men,
it is women and men,
and not that the world will be a better place if women run it,
but that the world will be a better place when women who bring their perspectives share in running it.”
