It’s only the first week of August and already I’m worried about surviving the rest of the month. The kids will have their dance concert next week, heralding the many early morning practise sessions. This is especially hard on my parents who have to ferry them back and forth during this cold and wet winter season π.
We are making the most of weekends, eating out, having family gatherings. I was commenting to my colleague the other day that even though I sometimes have doubts and worries about my current role, I am still very thankful to have a job that doesn’t require me to be ‘on’ during weekends.
I wonder how big the tree in front of the house will be in a few years when we have our new home! Yes we’re finally getting down to building a new house, it is not at the lot I thought it would be, and definitely not within the timeline as well, but at least we’re taking a step forward so I’m happy about that.
Sometimes I have little niggles about our finances, are we biting off more than we can chew? But deep down I know we are ok, the years of frugality have paid off and we do deserve a new home. The girls are my biggest motivation, I really want them to have their own bedrooms and a nice space where they can invite their friends over for play dates etc. The eternal host in me also loves the idea of a big kitchen and being able to invite family and friends over for home cooked meals.
I am looking forward to our holiday in September! It will be nice to just relax and hang out with the kids all day. I just have to survive August and we will be almost there π.
