Really have been getting so much done this week its been go, go, go, non stop. Its all coming together now. Its almost coming together too fast, Its really hitting home to myself and the kids that this is the last week here and is getting a little overwhelming with emotions. Dont get me wrong I cant wait to see the back of this place. Its just the people I will miss. No more just popping over to catch up with my sister inlaw or her popping in here for a cuppa and a chinwag(giggle)each week.
Now when I visit a friend I will have to organize a day and maybe schedule in 2 or 3 in between hospital visits in school hours. There wont be any running into each other while shopping and catching up on all the goss. All I can say is thanks god for FB and mobile phones.
In the last 48 hours alone everything has been everywhere phones none stop ringing. tradesmen coming and going.last minute jobs getting done and schedules re organized to fit in another 3 jobs I just remembered needed doing. I crawl into bed thinking I am so exhausted I could sleep a week, but my brain has forgotten how to rest. so I lay there my brain starts decorating the new place, while thinking up more jobs that need doing.
The next 4 days are going to be completely hectic but I still have time for the last Hillman ladies get together tomorrow since I am the last Hillmanite left(technically 1 never was, but shes nice so we keep her). We have been through thick and thin together since our kids were in kindy together. Each now forging our paths in different directions so our catch ups are a little more sporadic these days, but when we do, our social event co ordinator is sure to make it a wonderful and seemingly effortless feat getting us all together on the same day.
There is always so much cackling and giggling we each are crying by the end. But I was reminded twice today by 2 of the ladies that its the last one in my house and its going to be that little harder to organize these already infrequent giggle fest's So yeah I am a little bit overwhelmed about that. I promise to do my best to not cry if others *you know who you are* promise to not get me started.
I have been blessed with some pretty awesome friends. The ones I have left are keepers. They are with me for the long haul so distance wont change much other than when we catch up it will be even livelier. Some I only seem to catch up with once in a blue moon these days already, but when we do It just reminds me how special they are and how lucky I am I still have each in my life. Then I have a few I have never met in real life. A very few I have known for a decade now, maybe more. we have shared heartaches, triumphs and even babies. Even though I know I may never meet any of them, they still hold a special spot in my heart as well. Its just so lucky I always have room for one more. So I guess I just reminded myself that while a catch up can be done over coffee and cake, sometimes the ones online can be just as precious.
