Since the beginning of November we’ve had a pretty full house (motel) with both kids at home. Which is great….. and noisy…. especially when friends come to stay. And why wouldn’t they, we’re situated right in the middle of town and are an excellent place to crash after a night out.
Well…… next week, my son starts college in the South Island and the week after my daughter goes back to Uni in Wellington. Will I miss them??? Of course. Will I miss the TV being on all day, the extra meals I have to cook, fighting over my favorite chair in the evenings, someone jumping on my computer the minute I get up to do something, the overcrowded feeling…… what do you think????
I’ve also discovered something else to occupy my time (like I have so much time on my hands), Jacketflap. It’s an amazing site for anyone interested or involved in writing for children. Check it out. and while you’re there don’t forget to friend me!
I’m very excited, because yesterday I found Sophie Kinsella’s latest book Remember Me in KMart. I knew it was coming out and had planned on ordering the hardback online because I didn’t think it would get here so soon. I can’t read it yet, as I have to finish reading my Rita entries. But it’s on my dining room table and I keep reading the back cover blurb as I walk past it. I just know I won’t be disappointed.

Enjoy the quiet! And I am loving Jacket Flap… except it takes up too much time!

I haven’t really gotten into Jacketflap yet. Although I suspect I need to…Not to sound cliched–but I need more hours in a day! Enjoy a little peace and quiet.
