Our shipment finally arrived on Tuesday. We actually pushed and wanted them to have it delivered before the kids started school but as usual 'due to unforseen circumstances', things just didn't work out. I have learned that trying to change things which you cannot change is really a waste of time. The best thing to do is to find solutions to whatever that has been thrown at you. But...make sure you voice out your displeasure.
Perhaps, it was a blessing in disguise. With the kids in school, I could get more things done and did not have to worry about things like getting their lunch. On my own, lunch could be easily be solved with left-over pizzas or muffins.
For the past few days, my schedule was crazy...sending the kids to school, rushing off to the house to unpack and clean and then back to school to pick them up and head back to the hotel for homework and dinner and the cycle goes on. And you know, traffic in Shanghai is a nightmare, you must be punctual to beat the peak periods. One second late, you could be caught in a jam.
Finally, I have come to the end of a crazy week. The house is ready for us to shift in and we bid farewell to our dear hotel and one month of eating out (scream...) The first in my 42 years on planet earth. Believe me, I miss my own cooking!
Relocation either make you or break you and I would like to say that thus far, I have chosen to let it 'make me'.
Finally, finally, finally. Not too bad isn't it for a family of four. With each shift, we got rid of more things but....
I don't expect to have a half-filled truck on our way home!
Very professionally done. Floor was lined so that the boxes would not damage the flooring
