1 MONTH TO GO, ITS REALLY HAPPENING

OMG this time next month i will be in the plane and flying over the oceans to my new home for 18 weeks.  Im going to be living out of a suitcase for longer than I ever have, not be able to cuddle, tease and give my babies and loved ones a kiss. It seems so surreal.  I can feel the butterflies coming now every time I think of it.  Is it too late to back out now????  Its going to be so strange not having to come into work also.  The world is just going to be out there waiting for me and getting ready to present me with one adventure after another  So many places to see, things to be done and so many people to be met.

OFFICIAL COUNTDOWN IS HERE

OMG 30 DAYS TO GO


Well here goes the countdown has well n truly been underway for a while now but it is now down to 30 days.  Im starting to get very nervous but at the same time so excited.  The hardest part is going to be saying goodbye to my babies.  Its hard to imagine not being able to cuddle or kiss them whenever i want. Such a foreign feeling.  Being away from them for 4 days is so different to 15 weeks.  But all I have to get me thru is the thought that when I come back I will be a better person and in turn a better mum to my angels.
