Why do we spend so long waiting for things to be perfect?

Finally, after months of waiting, my Mum actually mailed me my wedding gown. It's been sitting at her house for 6 months, she just never got around to it. But I'm glad it's finally here. And yes, I tried it on already. I know I know, I'm so impatient!

Today we got the last of our personal belongings from the store. The bankruptcy is signed and I guess there's nothing to do now but look back fondly at a beautiful store (John you did such a wonderful job) and move forward with our lives. Steve is back to work tomorrow fixing appliances and it will be good for all of us.

Meghan had her Kindergarten orientation this morning. She loved it and is totally ready for school. I was amazed at the number of parents who don't want to let their kids grow up. Does it make me a bad mother for wanting her out of the house for 2 hours every morning? No, because it's motivated by a desire for her to learn and grow and develop some new friendships. I'll miss her though once she's gone in September. Maybe it's time to think about having another one.

With luck, She Who Must Not Be Named was served with her divorce papers today. I just hope she doesn't contest it so we can move ahead with getting married. After all, I've got my dress now so lets go!!

We've had a couple of gut wrenching letters from our son and daughter in law who are separating and going through a really tough patch.  So we e-mailed back an inadequate reply or two and hope they know that we love them. I wish there was something I could do to make them both happy again but I know there isn't. Still, I hope they can get counselling and maybe patch things up.

Tomorrow should be quite busy. Lots to get done in the morning and the house, particularly the kitchen is a disaster. It's time to get serious! And I must remember to take out the garbage.

Well, that's it for me for tonight. I'm off to snuggle with my honey and watch Fawlty Towers.
