I haven't wrote on here for 4,5,6,7,8, or so weeks.
My reasoning is that we've moved and it took a ridiculous amount of time to connect back to the internet. So here I am again, to share the joys of my life as a mother, who must be nuts; for moving with two children.
Now I was up for the challenge of it all, but to be honest I didn't expect such an upheaval. That probably sounds ridiculous and naive, but I truly didn't. I am totally gobsmacked at how well our 3 year old daughter has adapted to a new house, and not just a new house but a totally different type of house. I was so paranoid about it all and how she would feel, but she's been exceptional. She struggled for the first week and kept asking when we were going back to the old house, which really did break our hearts, but after asking a few times she's not asked again.
I actually think it's me who has struggled the most, I feel like I just cannot get organised or get my head around things at the moment, I'm not entirely sure that it isnt something to do with the lack of sleep (yes still) or whether it could be that I'm still finding my feet.
Moving day was all going great until our keys were released only 1.5 hours before our removal van had to be back, then it turned into something like supermarket sweep, but running in and out of the lorry and dropping it to each room instead of a trolley. When we eventually sat down for the night I felt like i'd ran a marathon, and I was so hungry I could've eaten the sofa.
My idea of moving day was relaxed, and relatively straight forward. Instead it was a gigantic rush, and was filled with a thumping heart feeling all day! More so when we put the key in the lock and couldn't open the front door.
If i could give anybody any tips for moving, it would be to make sure that you've prepared yourself for every possible event. Like rain, you know, stuff on the drive when it starts to rain isn't really ideal. Then again neither is the fact that you lost all of your essential items like a toothbrush, and phone charger. Oh and it always helps if your kettle is not buried in a box of a pile of 78979 other boxes.
A boring post today, but just wanted to shed some light as to why I've not written for a while, also, thank you to the lovely people who've messaged to make sure i'm okay as I hadn't been active for a while. It was extremely thoughtful of you.
I promise to keep you all updated.
