The Cat is tetchy because Will makes her life hell so I keep her outside the majority of the time. And I think she knows we're not taking her with us.
Kieran is tetchy because he is hoping to stay on in NZ past the Rugby World Cup games he has tickets for and we are having issues finding somewhere for him to board. He's also tetchy because the in zone High School where we are/were?? hoping to live is SO bad it the mention of it made the WA Dept of Ed gifted adviser choke.
Merenia is tetchy because she's a flippin pre-teen with a teacher who has no concept of what it's like to be a 10 year old and part of a family and because she's a little stressed about moving countries and just how much of her stuff we are getting rid of.
Will is tetchy because I won't let him start packing his stuff for a move that is two months away and he can feel that the vague idea he had of having some control over his life was just an illusion. Also because he knows there's an annoying baby on the horizon. Because we've redoubled our efforts to keep him in his own bed and out of ours- it's not working all that well stubborn head strong little bugger knows that if he cries up a storm we can't really let go on as he shares with Merenia- and she needs her sleep! And he just isn't all that into Kindy at the moment and I keep taking him there everyday because I really need the break from all the acting out that is going on- a mum can only be so sympathetic when she's nearing the end of pregnancy and trying to get ready to move countries!
Les is tetchy because he has a LOT on his mind and no decent semblance of organisation for all those thoughts- plus he's waiting on stuff from his new work and stupid volcanic ash clouds and such are causing delays. He also needs more sleep and is having trouble dealing with the Will tornado. Oh and he's tetchy because I am tetchy.
And I'm tetchy because seriously who the f*ck moves countries with a 6?? week old baby? I mean really why would you embark on going through your whole house with a fine tooth comb to reduce your stuff in the last few weeks of pregnancy. Why would you be looking at selling both your cars, all the kids beds, shelves, the fridge and washing machine when you are trying to settle in and enjoy life with a newborn. I'm also tetchy because is seems that everything in Western Australia either takes forever to do or happens months before it needs to like applications for GaT programmes which have to be done through the GOVERNMENT and require things like IQ TESTS????? Or applications for 4-year old kindy which close on July 29 at our local school which we won't actually know what that is for probably a good month AFTER the closing date?? So Will will do what next year?? I'm also tetchy because this whole going into labour thing is so much more unpredictable than a scheduled C-section- it makes having major abdominal surgery look like an attractive option!! Oh and if one more person says they think this whole new baby/moving countries thing is EXCITING I'll punch them. hard.
And here ends my complaining thank-you for listening.
And don't worry,
it'll be fine
in October.
I think.
