Finally looking forward

Only 2 more weeks and I'm finally feeling like we've got the ball rolling for this move. The moving company came by this weekend to do a survey and will come to start packing everything up on the 3rd.

German lessons have finished up and I am now spending my days sorting, cleaning, running errands and praying fervently that someone will go ahead and buy our house!

These past few months have been incredibly stressful for all of us. I've really started to notice it in the kids' behavior. They cry at the drop of a hat and are easily frustrated. But I had no idea just how off balance they are feeling until this weekend.

Apparently during a quiet moment S asked M: So are you and Mama going to get divorced?

And M was completely flabbergasted! "No, of course not, why?!"

"Well, because you're separated."

Apparently M's commute has been bothering S more than he's let on. And it seems that the parents of a couple of kids in his class are going through divorces right now, so it's on his mind.

I am going to be SO glad to close this chapter and can all be together again full-time in our new home! For so many reasons....

Wow, only two more weeks! I'm sure you'll be so relieved to just get there and get everything unpacked. Hey, now you can come to the Whiney Expat Bloggers in Germany Meet-Up in the fall - probably late October/early November.
