Well this week is certainly a "week of weeks" for Team Matvey. Tomorrow morning Katy and I go and sign the permanent apartment lease, we start a new temporary nanny and I go away for a week (more to come on that.)
Our lease for our "permanent" apartment starts tomorrow. We paid the fee to have our sea shipment stored for a couple days until the delivery on Friday. Then Saturday Katy and I get the place ready while Maggie and Nicholas stay at Parkview with the nanny. Hopefully we spend our first night in the new apartment Saturday March 5. We all can't wait. Oh that's not all....
Maggie's school is having a sports day on Thursday where the kids have a special day of team activities. Also the Canadian School has decided to give Maggie her evaluation this week as well.
To top it off, I will be away. I will be flying to Tokyo on Monday afternoon then on Wednesday off to Beijing for the week and come back on Friday night. A detailed work trip to visit our corporate operations sites. It's a great opportunity at the exact wrong time for our family. Katy and I talked long about it and decided it was a trip I should not miss. I have been packing tonight. I leave for the airport from the lease signing. Please note, since I am the "trailing spouse" I actually don't get to sign anything. the entire thing is under Katy's name.....so I better watch my Ps and Qs or I'll be renting a cot in some fishing junk off Hong Kong Island!
So best to get some rest.
Oh goodness! So much going on all at one time. I know you'll feel so much better to be in a permanent spot, and I'm sure that will be good for the children, too.
ReplyDeleteBehave. You are not the fishing junk kind of guy ;) You and Katy will make memories through all of this that you'll never trade.
Hugs to all the Matveys.
