Hi guys...sorry I have not posted, but...

TBG signed the contract for our new home in Germany last week (fr**kin finally)...and so now we have less then 2 weeks to get packed up and get out of here...gawd, I swear it never rains it pours...yeah I know it is not like I shouldn't have expected it ...but still...

So needless to say I am feeling just a little FREAKED OUT!!!

Phew. Glad I got that off my chest.

It is sort of a weird kind of no mans land (Nomad's land??), feeling excited to go to a new place and have a new beginning of sorts but also sad to leave the friends we have made here who some of which I know we will likely not see again... and after so much hard work to get settled and try to fit in (at least a little bit...)...Ya I know it it all comes with the territory...but still a bit sad.

I am trying not to be too stressed which may require a little more alcohol than normal...
The state of affairs can be easily seen by the comment my son made this morning in the car on the way to school...when I asked them to try to be helpful (instead of fighting...or whining...or bashing one another) and was talking about mommy being a little bit stressed out and he interrupted to ask if that was the reason I was yelling alot??

**Sheesh**....why do they have to be so direct (and on the money) all the time anyways...??

I will post some more pics of Spain, but as you can imagine I am up to my ass in last-things-left-to-do-why-do-we-always-wait-til-the-last-minute-for-everything-fr**kin-thing???

Yeah human nature I guess...I am so one of those yeah let's just keep piling it on types...

Mantra...
I will not get stressed...
I will not try pile on anything extra...

Oh yeah...I will not yell at my kids...

*sigh*
