My little ones are off to school tomorrow and it just doesn't seem like I've had long enough with them - I'm sure this happens with most parents - I had my first baby only 6.5 years ago and already I'm saying goodbye to number 2 and 3. It's gone so fast.
I had a moment of self-doubt yesterday with our decision to separate the girls in different classes (that's right for them but circumstances at school changed) so I found myself even more emotional than expected (off the Richter scale) also throw into that mix having to have Eloise's class changed - which I 100% believe is the right decision for her - it's not easy putting your hand up to advocate for your child. Especially when you know you're in an emotional state already.
All this heat and my family in Cairns with cyclones approaching hasn't made for a relaxing 24 hours but I've only got just about another 24 hours left until my babies are getting ready for school and the cyclone is due to hit. In more ways than one. Please be thinking of me tomorrow on both counts - my babies starting school and the safety of my Mum, Dad, Sister, Brother-in-law and nieces as well as good friends in Cairns. My sister and her family have been officially evacuated and their house is shut up and everything tied down. They are at slightly higher ground and slightly inland at my parent's house. I pray they are all OK.
It's not often I 'pour my heart' out as it were. I am so thankful to my family and friends at times like these and you - my lovely readers who when I pop onto facebook and twitter and see your lovely messages here really lift my spirits. Thank you so much.

Thinking of you as your babies go to school... not an easy thing to deal with when it is your "babies" leaving the nest for school.
Also sending my thoughts to you and your family as they prepare to deal with Mother Nature...
Breath.
Hope all turns out OK. xxx
Thinking of you Liss, i'm sure everything will be ok. I have a friend with twins, and she too decided to split them up at school - it's worked great for them. Your girls will love it :)

Ya know, I'm feeling a bit like you at the moment, so I can completely sympathise and empathise. Soon everything will calm down and all will feel under control again. Til then I'm thinking of ya! xx
I have family in Tully, Cairns and Townsville. There won't be much sleep for us tonight. Prayers for everyone in the North.
