wordful wednesday - take me poseidon
so we're back from camping where we hit the surf most days
this is a family game we invented a few years back called
TAKE ME POSEIDON
the rules are fairly simple
and poseidon usually wins

ugh
these past 2 weeks have been nothing short of an out-of-body experience for me
a couple of days after christmas tara told me that her family was moving back to australia to be close to family
this is great news for them, and sad for us
let's face it - it sucks to be left behind, because no matter where or what, or who you're going to, it's easier to look forward than behind
michelle too, is moving to australia
this is also good for her and sad for us
so basically, i've spent the last few days cramming in as much 'tara time' ( and our girls have too) as possible
i had 2 days away in the hawkes bay this weekend with my SIL (pics next month - awesome) and that short break was great to 'get out of my head', but it was back to my sucky reality today (with weather to match)
tara and i had a sleepover at her place last night with the girls, and she had a garage sale this morning
today was spent garage saling, saying goodbye to michelle, packing up for our own 2 week camping holiday, then saying goodbye to tara
picture me, tara, misses 11 (x 2), miss 12 and miss 13 all standing in our garage - surrounded by half packed camping gear - hanging onto each other for dear life, all bawling our eyes out
(and it's pouring with rain outside)
to top it off - i got an email from heather saying ' it's your SITS day on monday!'
how can you invite everyone to a party at your house and not be home?
what sort of hostess would i be lol
so the darling heather has deferred me for a few weeks
watch this space - my day is almost here!
thanks for listening and reading
it really helps to know you're all out there
PS: silver lining: customs prevents alcohol being shipped INTO australia, so between tara and michelle - we have been gifted enough 'plonk' to share with the whole campground!
