A catch-up

August 27, 2008

The saga of the house continues. We have found a house, it is a pretty house a few more suburbs away. The new landlord will allow both our pets and seem willing to do anything to help us. Meanwhile, our daughter is in the middle of her exams  when our old landlord wants us to move out, so we email her to ask for an extension of a few more days so that her exams would be over. The answer came back that she would not consider letting us do that, so much, for appealing to her better nature. So the only thing that we can do is just go over time rather than put Jess under additional stress. You know it would be better if we listened to people, when we moved into our present house the tenants at the time warned us that the owners were ‘the landlords from hell’. We thought we would be OK, maybe next time we would take more notice and heed  warnings.

IF- Detach

August 16, 2008

This was an easy one to do, I think to a certain degree every mother, parent or person does it. When things become too stressful you try very hard to detach yourself. One of these times in a  parent’s case it is saying ‘goodbye’ to your children as they go off on their adventures or saying ‘goodbye’ to grandchildren or aged parents. I think to keep your sanity you have to have those moments of detachment , of turning off. In my case it is often daydreaming or watching people.
