My dear blog friends, I thought I would post an update since it has been so long. I am sorry I had to neglect my blog for a while, the pressure of different things was getting on top of me and I had to simplify my life. The things are:
- My daughter's school appeal
- Our decision to put our house up for sale
- Finding a new house
- Talking to mortgage lender and estate agents
- Starting a big new project at work before completing the last one
- Starting a new project for our local judo club
As you can probably guess, my daughter's schooling and our house move have been the biggest areas of concern for me. It's a massive decision and change for us. The process of buying and selling takes a long time we're finding out. I literally haven't been able to deal with so many things happening all at once. There have been things I've had to say I can't or won't do in order to be near home and family. Some of these things have been very painful, such as declining an invite to a friend's wedding in May. That really upset me. But I know that sometimes in my life, I just have to batten down the hatches and ride out the storm - and that's exactly what my life feels like at the moment.
Thank you for your good wishes, I hope to be back soon. I would like to give you some news on the house move when I can.
You do have a lot going on, but it seems as though you have your priorities in order and are doing all you can to move each thing forward.
ReplyDeleteI know the housing situation will work itself out...that is just a patience issue I think.
Not sure about the school thing. Are you needing to get your daughter into a specific private (or do you call them public?) school?
Anyway, I do wish you the best.
You can only do so much in the midst of everything you've had to go through lately! I hope things quiet down soon for you.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with getting the new house!
