Jet-lag’s a bitch

Well, Mum arrived safe and sound 5  minutes earlier than scheduled, today. She was excited to have gone through Sydney and was relieved to have finally made it to the end destination!

Brian and I picked her up from the airport and brought her straight back home (knowing, of course, that she would be tired after her long trip.)

We spent the afternoon just sitting around and talking, after giving her a tour of the house (which she says she really likes, yay!) The kids are so happy to see her and I’m over the moon. I love my mother very dearly and I remember a time when moving to the next suburb sent me into a panic because I would be so far away…lol. Who knew that a few years later, I would be moving halfway around the world.  It’s been only 6 months since I went to Canada to visit but it’s so different. This time, I get to show her around my home and the city that I have come to love.

It’s only 7:30 and she’s already gone to bed. I’m amazed she made it this far as she didn’t sleep very much at all of the planes.  Jet-lag really is a bitch!

Tomorrow, I think we’ll have a wander around the neighborhood so she can see the kids schools, the local shops and get a feel for direction.  My mother loves to go for walks and I don’t get a walking partner that often. I’ll certainly relish that.

For now, I think I’ll keep this short as I’m sure she can hear me typing away.  Wouldn’t want to wake her after all that, now would I?

Signed,

Happy Camper!
