WOW what a Fly-In day! For a day that is suppose to be full of excitement and a fairly cruise day mine has been a shocker! Looking for a house to buy and the place we quite liked was suppose to go to auction later in June we get a call from agent after a week on the market to say if we want it we have to put our best offer in by 10am this morning unconditionally! Agh pulling my hair out! This was the week we were going to organise building/pest inspection and decide what we thought it was worth.

Yesterday at 5pm Hubby quickly arranges a building inspection for 8.30am next morning as he usually lands at 6.30am only for me to wake to the news that the airport is closed and flights are delayed some 4 hours.... great. So in my mad rush to get out the door with two kids, one baby who is sick with a fever, while staying at a friends place while the place we are renting is being painted, I decided to do daycare drop off for Mr 3 as I hadn't heard from Hubby. Luckily I did! Poor boy was so excited he was going to see Dad today and I felt so guilty I had told him last night that Dad is home tomorrow. Drop off done now I still couldn't get hold of Hubby and time was quickly running out so I left for the inspection. Mr 8 mo was loosing it (as was I), he was well past his only good sleep in the day along with being sick not such a great mix.

Finally Hubby called about 9.30am to let me know he was on the airplane in Melbourne and they had no idea if they were getting off or staying on plane. He left on midnight flight home and is still on an airplane some 12 hours later how unfortunate.

It was 9.50am and the man was still doing the building inspection yikes hurry up I need to have an offer in by 10am!!! Oh the joys! Why is it that it always falls on me! Its just like how its guaranteed that the kids will be sick or awake all night the week he is away and perfect little angels the week he is home. Finally the inspection is finished. 10.10am. Got hold of Hubby to let him know the outcome of report and ask him what he wanted to do. Along with having called agent and said I was going to email offer shortly.

All before 10.30am I still hadn't eaten anything or had the morning coffee.... and the builder was a lovely man but he just wanted to chat for ages all while I'm trying to call Hubby and the agent to put in an offer! All done time to pack up bubs and have that coffee and breakfast YAY. Then the old duck from next door comes out and wants to have a chat. Poor love I had to say hello and speak with her, she is a very sweet lady. She also told me that I shouldn't go back to work if I don't have to as its not worth the stress with young children to just stay at home and enjoy them! Gosh I must look stressed! She then wished me luck and said she hopes we get the house aww.

Coffee check. Screaming, overtired, sick baby check. Now to try relax  and hope Hubby is home soon.
