Selling, school and me.

The sale of the shop took just four days! I think I have only just come to grips with what is happening. It is amazing to say we have sold it so quick. By Thursday week I will no longer run a cafe! I'm extremely happy to have spent the last four years being our own bosses and riding the roller coaster with my very best friend in the world. 

I'm also counting down the days to hand over the reins! Life is looking pretty good from this side of the fence. This year is heading in the right direction and we are putting ourselves and the girls first. I'm so glad to have gone on this adventure even if it was at the toll of my sanity. I will miss one important thing, my customers. The ones that always had a chat, told a joke or shared a story. I will miss that so very much, oh and the coffee!

The count down is also on for my little humans to go back to school. Life in this department has mixed emotions. The littlest three are all chomping at the bit to go back and see there friends and teachers, but my biggest one is a little  nervous and super excited all at the same time. I'm sad, scared and very proud of her. 

High school was not a period I remember that fondly of in my life and trying to teach my girls to be braver than me and stronger within themselves is always a hard and very fine line in the parenting game. I want them to try to be whatever they want to be. I want them to not let others walk over them and for them to enjoy these years I so very much struggled with. 

Me at the moment is happy. Starting to relax as the thought of juggling the shop, the house, the kids, the building, the customers, the bills and oh you know any other thing that jumps out at us in this game called life! Marty is happy, relaxed which is helping me hugely. I know life will never be peaches and cream easy but if I can get back to the basics of life and focus on that, the rest will be much easier to deal with.
