The New House

We are now in our new house. Its a bit smaller than we're use to, but I do feel at peace here. There's hardly any traffic and the girls discovered kids from school just around the corner. We still have heaps to sort out. Mostly the bedrooms now. We do miss the old house but so far we haven't pulled in the drive forgetting that we've moved. (We've done that in another house or two that we lived in.).
We both had had a very stressed day and became a tad grumpy with each other, (maybe a bit more than a tad!). That day I had taken a load over to Sidey Quay (our new address) and proceeded to lock the car key (our only one) in the car along with the bond cheque. With the Landlord there waiting for the money he had no choice but to use his AA membership. Well that prob was solved.
Next one... I drove off to the journalling course after picking up Leigh and Jo, got 3/4 way there and get a ph call from Terry "Where are the house keys to move the stuff in?" my response...
"dolt!!!" Yes. I had done the deed of forgetting to leave the guys the house keys. So after dropping Leigh and Jo off I headed back to meet Terry half way. That prob solved.
After a tiring day I came home to an empty of furniture house. The girls were on mattresses, but in search of my own I discovered the helping hands got a bit too enthusiastic. I had no bed!!
We ended up with me on a single mattress at the old house and Terry sleeping at the new house on our bed. Much to say I had a bad nights sleep.
I would like to say a big Thankyou to the Men's group that Terry attends for helping shift everything on the Thursday evening, I am so grateful as it rained on Friday and has ever since. Good for us bad for the new owners who shifted in the rain.

    Rain? what is that? We are glad you have shifted and wont take long to settle. Glad the girls have friends close by too. Isn't God good - you have a home temporarily, you can drive again. Love to you all
