The end is nigh

As it turns out, 8 years will be wrapped up in roughly 58 days. But sometimes i feel like the next step is a giant leap...backwards. Going back to Oz, to live with the in laws. Pause for reflection for a moment. .....Yes, exactly. Gutted. I do love them and think they are brilliant but to live with them?!
For 8 years I have made my own choices and decisions and listened to all the family crap, over the phone with a smirk on my face knowing full well that when I hang the phone up the woes end with the call. Selfish, completely. But great nonetheless. I've missed some important things, some heart breaking things. When all is said and done, we go back for the most important thing, my little monkey. Maybe in some respects it is a back step for me but for her....geez, it will be the biggest leap forward. All that love. Yep, it is the right choice, the right thing to do. We have to surround her with as much love as possible....even if it means living with the in laws for a bit.
