It is official. Lily, Pixie, and Mummy have the best friends in the world. Everyone should have friends like these. The type that feel more like a family.. with all its dysfunctional quirks that you wouldn't want to change for the world (I serve up more than my fair share of randomness, too!)
I mentioned in a previous post how Mummy is very very much like Lily. We sometimes do things in reverse. If Lily has enough warning of a change, she can get quite excited about it, and all the craziness explodes into our worlds about 2 weeks after the change has occured (that's her usual settle period, anyway). Mummy, on the other hand, with enough warning, really gets her knickers in a twist. Our current moving house is no exception. There were tears, there were tantrums, there were all nighters and there was no light at the end of the tunnel.
That was just Mummy.
No one was spared the wrath of the stressed Mummy. Family, friends, strangers... I really have been an absolute... personage of Doom. (This really isn't an exaggeration. if I were my friend, I'd have smacked myself!)
They say you can't choose your family, but you can choose your friends, and thank goodness mine have been able to deal with me of late. Without them we wouldn't have made it to the new house. I'd still be surrounded by half packed boxes and drowning in a mountain of stress (half of which is unwarranted but created by my brain as some form of torture)
Lily is very very happy with her new bedroom, the one room in the new house that's sorted! (Though the larder's looking done too, priorities are in order!) We had a tough and emotional time of it yesterday evening, there was no order to anything, but today she has her bedroom, and she obviously feels secure because *touch wood* she's not got up tonight yet.
Her Marvel Villains and Superheroes poster is "keeping after" her again. Everything has its place. A room she's in control of.
There's no phone line, but there's internet, so she has stampycat youtube to watch.
All in all, Lily's a pretty happy bunny tonight!
