Rain Rain Stay Away... Construction Men Come & Play...

It is Day 18 - The weather the past several days has been all clear YAY! 

Today, however, we are expecting some light showers mid morning :(  And tomorrows forcast is for showers in the afternoon.... Will this impact on the site works??? We don't know... I really really hope slab construction will keep moving this week... Oh pleeeease....

To share one increasing struggle - our kids are having trouble to get enough sleep due to the "fun" adventure that is 3 sharing a room :P  (see pic of triple bunked beds - I still can't believe they all fit in that small room!)

My 7 yr old son tried to get up at 3am the other morning... and came in to me asking if he "could get up now?" I mumbled "what time is it?" His reply - "5.30am" so I said "ok" and rolled over... It was only when my husband woke up enough to look at the clock - that he realised the 3am reality.... hmmmm so we had an interesting time telling the boy that he needed to sleep for at least 2 more hours.. (oh pleeeeease!).... The "conversation" woke everyone else in the vicinity (so sorry to the other unit dwellers in our block!)...

Needless to say, our other two children are often extra tired due to the boy's waking habits... I mean when he is asleep, he's fast asleep... but when he is awake, he is rarely "quietly awake" hehe... so full of life! We love him!  and yes he is also very tired.... sigh...

Here is thus an example of our strong reasons to need some sort of decent space / rooms to help with adequate sleep for all :)))  Yes, a new house is a luxury - but a separate room for the boy - this is becoming like a survival need (lol - I know that sounds more dramatic than it probably is - I feel that way right now).... I want to target some stratergies for the boy's sleeping habits without the other two getting affected also...
Add these logical reasons to my emotional impatience for our new home... and you have one "eager to be in the new place" woman!


So... pleeeease rain rain stay away.... 
and construction men come and play... 
(yes am reduced to begging while blogging haha)

On a colourful note - here is a photo of one of the many amazing sunsets we see from our unit's patio... Nature's beauty keeps me in awe and just that little bit more sane during this building process!


Yes the dark clouds are the ones responsible for the week(+) delay... but they are amazing to look at :)))  What a paintbrush the creator has.... Cheers

  2. Very funny, Mary.
    I hope I wasn't too blah the other day. I know I wasn't very talkative. I just didn't feel like much conversation. I know in the past I almost get hyper, and chat and joke etc but I'm allowing myself to be more "authentic" and not act a role. You know why. I'd still love to have a chat about it sometime, sans kids, if you're up to it.
