And so it goes. M's had her birthday at Kidzland on Saturday - I was rather pleased with how it went. Felt a little wierd that I didn't have to do anything for the party...except bake the birthday cake and cupcakes for the parents. M wanted cheesecake so I made her New York Style/Oreo's & Cream topping. Proved quite a hit with parents and kids (I was pleased!!)
Other than the cake, everything was handled by Kidzland including the lollibags. Being the control-freak that I am, I felt a little lost!! Anyway, M & her friends and J & his friends had a great time. I enjoyed catching up with some of the school mamas while our kids play too - going to miss them.
It's another 3 weeks(or thereabouts) till we go and seeing that the removalist will be the ones doing the packing, I am again feeling a little lost - I had cleared alot of our household stuff (read junk!) a few months back, during one of the verge pick ups. Apart from clearing the kitchen pantry and my container cupboard, I am pretty set to go. But not before we prepare the house for rental.
That and choosing which removalist to go with....
I chatted with friends, well intented people about us going. While they are really suppportive and encouraging, the issue of living in the kampung naturally tops the chat-chart. That and me homeschooling the kids, living in the discomfort of the heat of sabahan sun and of course, being around the in-laws. Yes, I am very apprehensive about all that but I am guessing I don't have a choice, really seeing that I have made this choice to leave Perth. Ya? I hear you!
On the ride home from another birthday party yesterday, I chatted with the Hub about the whole in-laws issue. I am glad that we are one-mind about them - from the get-go, we will set boundaries. When the boundaries are crossed, we let them know....Will see how that goes!
Seriously, its really going to be a hard life for me! Gosh, who am I kidding?? All that driving from the city to the kampung....week-in week-out....the sticky heat....all that comments about how fat I am...shit!!
