So, we are super frustrated this week, as WE ARE STILL WAITING ON SELLING OUR HOUSE!!! I just can't believe it. The bank is taking so long to approve their loan. They needed proof that their tenants had jobs, and then they needed proof that she will be going back to work after her maternity leave. We were told it would be last Friday (after being told it would be the Tuesday before), then we were told Tuesday of this week, and today we have been told it's with the final assessment team today. This is maddening! We are beyond frustrated. It has been about 5 weeks since we accepted their offer.
Other than that, it has been a fairly good week, with some ups and downs. Arley has had a few hard times. Jefrey took the kids horse riding on Monday and Arley couldn't find a helmet to fit (we have had to order him a new one), and he had a meltdown, refused to ride, and then at the end refused to get in the car so that Jeff could bring them home. After 45 minutes, I finally drove out there and coerced him into the car to bring him home. He was terribly upset, and it took him a while to come good again. My heart breaks for him when he is upset, and I can't explain him out of it, because he is not rational.
I was rather stressed yesterday when I dropped the kids off at Mum's for the day. Arley was yelling at me because he didn't like his hairstyle (!), so as soon as I left, I took myself for a walk on Mollymook beach. It was a little overcast and very silvery, and the beach was practically empty but for a few surfers. Exactly what I needed.
The good news is that we had horse riding again this morning and Arley wore a helmet he didn't love, and the kids had a brilliant lesson. We also got the kids and Bella out to Collers Beach this week, and we went fossicking, which we haven't done in a while. Arley is still taking a zillion photos with my phone, and still loving it. Carmie has another really bad snaggletooth which she won't let me pull out. We have been playing a lot in the cul de sac, doing shadow drawings and handball, as well as a bit of bike riding. I feel like I'm just in limbo waiting for this house to officially be sold. I want to start packing, but I don't want to live amongst boxes for months on end!
Arley took this shot of Bella, and it makes me smile:
