Chatting About Nonsence

I've been thinking about this post the whole week and just never could find a moment to get around to it. There are a few reasons for that but the most significant one is:
This of course has been going on for a while and this week, Wednesday culminated in the following pic and let me add that this has been the most stressful event for me in a long time:
So as you might hazard to guesse, we're all feeling a little displaced right now.

But on that same day of emotional and physical struggle, I popped over to my favourite retailer Woolworths_Ferndale for more long life liquid milk and wine to ship with everything else. They must have noted that I've been shopping with them a lot more than usual because as I was finishing my payment, one of the packers who had my trolley and was about to help me to my car was talking to the manager and they popped these into the mix. Of course there is no Woolworth stores where I'm going so that's another significant trauma point for me.
You cannot imagine how ecstatic I was over this, it took considerable restraint for me not to hug them.This is the nicest thing anyone has done for me in a long while. I'm sure we all agree you can buy yourself flowers and they'll be great but when someone else gives you _priceless. Thank you Woolworths Ferndale store. You guys rock.
In the mean time, we are trying to not feel so homeless but its getting costly and it is way uncomfortable. This morning I would have given my right arm for a cup of spiced tea. I went to the gas station for breakfast for the kids and a cup of hot water for me, two minutes later at my kitchen I discover my tea bags have been disposed of when clearing the cupboards. And frankly after two days, i'm sick of eating out three meals a day.
As you can see, sunscreen has become a permanent feature as a result.
In the meantime we're trying very hard to not be as mopy as I've been here with you. I have proof:

  2. Wendy, your little one dances like one of my baby girls...And Miss Pinky Pants has got all the moves!!!

    Anyway,sounds like you're moving home. I haven't been here much so I may have missed any earlier posts relating to it. But I feel for you re Woolworths. When we first moved to this current place, I had to downgrade on the quality of shopping centre. It got smaller, and well, it's just not the same. Even 5 years later...But very sweet that you got flowers. :)
