In a few short days the boys and I will be heading home…
It has been a bit rough at times being alone with all three but the roughtest times seemed to be when we ere with Annie… The kids seem to love being with each other at times but then something would happen and they would just turn on eachother….
Being with Annie was great though… she is such an inspiration and she is such an amazing mom…
Here in Vancouver it is raining today and my mom went to work and I got the kids ready to go walk down to the skytrain to go somewhere… anywhere… and then realized that the stroller is in my mom’s car…. so then I thought about just putting Khéna on my back…. but then remembered that the wrap is in the stroller… so we are stuck here until my mom comes back…
It feels weird to be heading home… I felt that I left home back in Nelson so going back to Sorel-Tracy is a bit depressing for me… a house that we settled for because of price… a home that doesn’t feel like a home….
Of course I am looking forward to sleeping in my own bed… and most importanly being with Simon again… and we will be waking up the next morning to Colin’s 4th birthday which is also pretty cool…
I think that this trip really made up my mind that we need to leave though…
We need to live in a place that is more family friendly… that is has a better quality of life and friendlier people…
a bittersweet return…
Lily and the boys sometimes had a competitive relationship. Lily’s often helping me with Leif but she didn’t seem to understand that Xavier and Colin didn’t need the same kind of “leadership”. Ah well, we had had great time! 😀 I think it could be so much better if we lived near and seeing each other wasn’t such a production of bringing stuff, being worried about being in other people’s spaces with so many kids and getting from one place to the other.
I’ll miss not seeing you and I hope you can make the move to BC! Neloid is a much easier commute than Quebec!
