Finally we have moved into our new home. I feel bad that the kids have been through a lot in one week - first their start to daycare and now the move. It took them awhile to get settled the first night. I think with all the helpers, boxes and their Mom stressing out because she couldn't find their clothes and bedding in the boxes, didn't help with the situation. I felt so terrible that night thinking that I should have kept aside clothing and toiletries for us all. Even funnier that Darren and I had to rummage through all the boxes that night looking for clothes to wear for work the next day!
Most of our packing has been done, just our clothing left to do. Thanks to all the helpers that we had, otherwise I'd be going crazy trying to figure out what goes where! I felt lost when I did some packing, not used to all the space! Its also amazing to see how much stuff I had in our small little house and how I managed to fit it in. I think I did a really good job of hiding things.
We have a few things to sort out like connecting up pipes for my washing machine (I have a toploader and the space in the kitchen is only frontloader friendly) and the alarm system. Yesterday I was quite surprised that Darren had gone through the night without watching any TV - apparently the previous owner had taken out the satellite dish. We've been too tired to argue with the estate agent regarding this. As a result, I was wondering how long Darren would be able to go on without any TV. To my dismay, I heard him making an appointment with the TV guy to come and reconnect our DSTV and install a new satellite! So last night, I gotto watch Brothers & Sisters, so I shouldn't really complain :)
Yesterday afternoon, the principle from the school that the kids go to called to raise her concerns about Kayla. According to her her temperature was slightly high, although I wasn't too concerned about her temperature being 36.5. Also, she'd been crying the whole day and scratching her left ear. I dashed off to fetch them from school and went straight home. The first thing I did was call our GP to see if she could do a housecall. She didn't sound keen, but since she didn't have anything planned for the night, she was prepared to help out.
When I went to fetch them and got into the car, Kayla seemed fine. In actual fact, she started laughing and talking! Bugger! I said she probably didn't like school and just wanted to come home! I wonder who she takes after! I cancelled the appointment with our GP as I decided that I would try to monitor her myself and dose her up with Calpol if necessary. This morning she was fine as well, although has a bit of a runny nose too. I blame teething for all of this, so will see. If she gets worse, then I'll definitely take her to see the doc. I was contemplating to send her to school today, and decided to. So far no phone call from the school :)
Its almost end of my work day now and I have to fetch the kids from school as we head into the weekend! Looking forward to the weekend as well in our new home! Apparently its going to be 30 deg tomorrow, so I'm sure we'll be having our first dip in the swimming pool!
Will post some pictures soon!!!
