The green green grass of home. (Part 2 )

[Soul.Searching]

Thanks guys. I spent New Years camping. It was a last minute holiday. We went for 5 nights with a bunch of family. It was good, refreshing! The first few days were good but the last few were awesome! It took me a while to unwind and let go of stuff. The days were hot and the nights were cold! The days were spent swimming in the river and fishing. The nights were just gathering around and going spotting. ( looking for animals with torches.)

It was so relaxing and freeing! The kids had a ball!! The best part was,... It was my first camping trip as a single mother. I set up all my own stuff and it felt great! I had people offer to help but I wanted to do it.
I can do it! I don't need a man!

Packing to go home sucked because it was soooo hot but we broke it up with a couple of trips down the river.

I noticed all my aches and pains slowly dissapeared. I got less sleep than normal and was tired by night time but it was the normal tired not physical exhaustion!!

I got back and friends had moved and cleaned my yards! It was such a shock. I don't know how to thank them! That took a big chunk of my plate. I'd let it get so bad these last few months while trying to rid the house of all H's odds and ends.

My Uncle is still the same, no change.

So The kids called H when we got back, apparently he has a brand new four wheel drive. ( something I have always wanted.) oh and suprise, suprise, he is taking the kids camping in a few weeks with OW and her children! He is an arse!
Anything I do with the kids, he has to try to do better. Well I'm sorry but introducing the kids to OW so soon, means anything he does he is failing them!

I felt a bit sad after talking to H. It would be so much simplier if I didn't have to talk to him.

I did miss him at times while camping but overall it was awesome just doing what I wanted, when I wanted without H bugging me or asking me to go to town everyday. I want to live in the bush, by the river!

Life is so simple without technology! I had a awesome time. I wish we could have stayed longer!!!
