Happy Hamster

There were a lot of people who told me having three kids is hard, but I was curious as to how hard and hard in what way. Well, now I know.  Simply put, I'm plumb busy. Which is good, because my days are fulfilling and I'd much rather be busy than not. However, it's quite frustrating because even though I'm going and going, I'm pretty sure not a whole lot is getting done. Yup. I'm pretty sure that load of laundry I'm staring at over there has been sitting there for three days. In short, I feel like a hamster on a treadwheel. Although, I am a happy hamster, I just have to get used to this new "pace" if you can call it that.

 

A couple of photos from August. R & P before going to the pool and Hazey girl's first bath: not a fan :)

However, this pace isn't really helping me prepare for the three weeks worth of visitors in October. Thank goodness though, because its the only way I would ever feel the need to do some much needed fall cleaning and purchase things that one wouldn't normally, until you realize other people are going to be seeing them... like oven mitts, for example.

And by the time November rolls around, we'll be trying to pack and make arrangements to move. I can't remember how much I've mentioned on this blog, but we're moving to Sydney, Australia sometime in December. Usually, something that would cause me a lot of anxiety has actually been the cause for a lot of excitement. (See you later, Northeast winter!) Oh, and knowing we'll only be there eight months probably helps too.

Even though it's all in the name of good fun and exciting things, it looks like I'll be running on that treadwheel of mine for a little while longer.
